Despite loving her career as a teacher Irene found it hard to leave her passion for food behind her.

In 2005 this duo seized the opportunity to put their love and passion for good food to work and took the plunge to open Co Clare's premier seafood restaurant.
Eddie & Irene are very much hands on, ensuring that the service is friendly, informal, excellent but unobtrusive. Their aim is to provide an affordable, relaxing and enjoyable experience with of course. excellent food. This is achieved through their culinary creativity, experience and with the help of locally sourced fresh produce. Unpretentious delicious food & a buzzy atmosphere have always been the heart of The Old Bake House.
