Most of the village's restaurants, pubs and cafes sit within a five-minute walk of the Main Street lift bridge, so you can decide on the sidewalk. The catch is the calendar: Sunday and Monday are when several village kitchens close, and a few places don't post hours at all, so call those before you go. ## On the canal [Mulconry's](../places/mulconrys-irish-pub.md) on Liftbridge Lane East, two minutes from the bridge, does boxty, shepherd's pie and bangers and mash, with burgers and wings on the American side and a seasonal patio.
