We've certainly started 2025 very positively by going to Naughton's for lunch today! I couldn't wait to get back there. Everything was perfect about the experience. I really enjoyed my dish of fettuccini with its interesting flavours! And my husband's battered fish and chips didn't disappoint - it's his favourite! Thank you again Naughton's - you are such a gem!
