The popular eatery locally sources many of the ingredients carefully integrated into their dishes, including Connemara oysters, Kinvarra lamb, and beef supplied by Martin Jennings, Ballinrobe.
Cullen’s regularly closes over the winter period. However, regulars can now rejoice as their strongly reviewed Connemara lobster and Martin Jennings rib-eye steak return to the menu.
Those wishing to book a table at the restaurant can do so here.
