The Crooked Glen

Lovely, friendly bar in Crumlin main street.

I dont know Crumlin very well so we just choose a random bar for some lunch.
We arrived around 1.30pm, downstairs was pretty empty so we lifted a few menus and sat down. A girl quickly came to serve us for drinks and let us browse menu.

Typically pub grub and lots to choose from.
I had the lamb roast and mum had chicken maryland(see pics) Both meals were generous servings, especially for lunch time. I thought the food was very nice and really well priced.

The meat is supplied my Hannons butchers.

Free off road parking out back.

Friendly staff.

The dining area upstairs looked very nice(think its just for dinner or busy times)

Had a delicious dinner here. Wouldn't hesitate to return.

We arrived on a Sunday evening, just after the Sunday Carvery hours. No matter, because we enjoyed our food off the menu.

We started with pints of cider, then ordered dinner. I had the Irish Cream Chicken, two chicken cutlets pounded thin and sauteed, served over mashed potatoes and topped with a Bushmills gravy with green beans. We got a second side, and I decided on the champ, a potato and leek mash with spring onions. Extra sauce served on the side had green beans in it, too. My husband ordered the lamb shank and enjoyed it, as well. It came with mashed potato, but he ordered the side of French fried onions (onion rings, which were a little greasy).

After that, I was full, but Mr. S. asked to at least see a dessert menu. It was a tough decision between the pavlova and the hot fudge cake, but we opted to share the cake. A simple two-layer chocolate cake, drenched in a warm chocolate sauce and served with our choice of ice cream or fresh cream. Not overly fancy, but completely delicious.

Great bar for football on a Saturday afternoon in a very relaxed friendly atmosphere. Live entertainment at weekends.

On my next visit I intend to test the pub grub. I will keep you posted.

Had a good meal. Pleasant atmosphere. Quiet enough to have good conversation. Bar keep was very friendly. We got a lot of food for the money and it is kid friendly.

Nice wee place. Well run and a good menu. Have only been on a few occasions after 10pm but always seemed like a decent crowd. Lots of families going for dinner in the evening.
