Eunice Power is owner and chef extraordinaire at the chic takeaway And Chips in Dungarvan, Co. Waterford. It’s no surprise they were awarded the title of Waterford’s Best Takeaway 2022, because they are no ordinary takeaway! They cook locally caught sustainable fish, they have alternatives for vegetarians, beautiful packaging and they have additional options for kids, including their 100% Irish Beef Burger in a Blaa with Homemade Chips!
We could go on and on about other write ups they’ve received, visits from Neven Maguire and recognition from McKenna’s Guides, but we won’t! Just be sure to include them on your Wish List when you visit Dungarvan !
And with a visit to Dungarvan in mind, we asked Eunice to share her Top Tips for 24 Hours in Dungarvan – we asked her to keep it concise, top quality and full of punch – like any great takeaway! And that’s exactly what she did …..
EAT: BREAKFAST

EAT: LUNCH
Interlude, Quay Side Dungarvan @interludedungarvan
You know it’s a great option for lunch when they pride themselves on using local produers, quality ingredients, homemade and they have a Kids Menu! Quay Side location is also a winner!
EAT: DINNER
And Chips, Davitt’s Quay Dungarvan @andchips_
A trip to the seaside isn’t complete without a Fish and Chips dinner, and when it’s multi award winning, it’s even better! And as it’s not your average chipper / takeaway, think Falafel, Korean Chicken Wings, Chowder and so much more!
