The Helm

Fine for me and my wife. Great stew warm cake with ice cream service was good beer cold and finest stop great time

One of my favorite places to eat in Westport. Great service and delicious food. Highly recommended!

Extremely delicious local food. Everything was fresh, the service was friendly, and the live music was a great accompaniment to dinner. I would highly recommend to all travelers!

A great restaurant down in the Westport Harbour. We ended up there after hiking Croagh Patrick.
«Two teas and two Guinness,» was our plea to the waiter. He obliged kindly. Drinking hot tea and a pint of Guinness in one sitting is a bit of talent really, and after climbing Croagh Patrick on a windy day, there was no better way to satiate our thirsts. Oh, waters. Yes, we had waters too.
We also had the most delicious turkey and ham pie, topped with creamy mashed potatoes and served with a side of mouth-​watering roasted butternut squash. For a lunch portion, it was large enough for two and it mentally helped to knead out our tired muscles.
The service was great, the bar was cozy and the location was lovely. We had a nice walk along the water when we finished. I’d certainly pay The Helm a visit on a return trip to Westport. We’ll be going for dinner next time!

Amazing food! Extremely Friendly Staff! Great Pub Ambience! Good for big groups.
I had the Crab Claws tossed in garlic butter to start. They were absolutely massive and so tasty. My friends had the Clew Bay Mussels and the Conakillty Black Pudding. All of the dishes were excellent.
For maincourse, I had the Monkfish, which was really good and my friends had the Rack of Lamb and the Black Sole. Everybody was really impressed with the quality and quantity of the food.
For dessert we had the Homemade Banoffee Pie, Homemade Apple Crumble and the Homemade Strawberry Cheese Cake. They were all excellent and a great end to a perfect meal.
Two BIG thumbs up :-)

Short of offering to pay for our meal themselves the staff here couldn’t have been any friendlier. Even forgoing starters didn’t stop us struggling to finish the lobster thermidor & half «duckling», such were the size of the portions and amount of accompanying veg & chips. A popular spot with both locals & tourists you’d be well advised to book ahead so as to avoid disappointment.
