Seafood Restaurant Wexford

Why has our menu changed you ask? We loved what we did when we were fine dine but sadly our bank balance didn't. We had to change to survive within the industry. We wanted to create a new menu that was slightly more affordable and less of an occasional treat and more of regular one.

It is still Jodie & Fergal. The quality of the food is still high and the service is still bubbly but non intrusive. All the food is freshly chosen & prepared by Fergal Dempsey. Even though the menu has changed the food is still super yummy and you will regularly still find Fergal out foraging around Rosslare for wild fennel & the likes.

It is Wild & Native's take on Irish Tapas (yes even the burgers, as they have a large steak knife through the middle). Children are welcome but we do not have a specific children's menu. We think our sharing menu is very child friendly. There are no courses but if you can order as many times as you would like.

We no longer take bookings but we do have 29 tables so don't worry we have lots of room. If we are busy when you arrive we do have space at the bar and outside for a pre dinner cocktail. As the off season is upon us we have zero worries about queues....

Our Story

Jodie & Fergal first met in 2009 and started searching for a property for Fergal to take on himself. We then chose a property in Rosslare Strand for the whole family (2.3 children) to get to grips with. Wild & Native Restaurant was first established in March 2016.

New menu, think more relaxed, more affordable, sharing plates but still really yummy made by Fergal served by Jodie & the team.

We don't take bookings so walk ins only unless a large table. Do not worry we have 27 tables and now the summer season is coming to a close we won't be 'as' busy. We hope to see you soon.

Jodie & Fergal

"Had the absolute pleasure to come across this place in Rosslare late last Saturday afternoon before heading back to the ferry to return to the UK. What a treasure trove, superb collection of Irish food and a simply delightful lady who served me. She couldn't have been more helpful, friendly and welcoming. I've submitted an entry to Trip Advisor which I hope will encourage others to visit.

I can't wait to return! Just two words to describe this place - simply superb!"

Tim Gurney

"Another perfect meal! Wild and Native never disappoints and the quality of food produced shows a real love of the ingredients used. The Sole, crab claws and prawns are personal favourites - simply prepared, not complicated but perfect every time.

This is such a wonderful addition to Rosslare Strand and it's easy to see why we need to book months in advance of our Bank Holiday weekend trip."

"We dined in wild & native last night, I had goats cheese salad it was delicious, then I had prawns and scallops for main which were sublime. Jody the lady serving out table suggested wine, it was the nicest wine I've ever had.. the service was great and staff very friendly. And welcoming I can't recommend high enough!."

Tracy - Wexford

"We travel all over the world and eat at the best restaurants. Last week we had lunch at a two Michelin star restaurant on the Côte d'Azur and our meal at this restaurant was just as good and was quiet a bit cheaper. I cannot recommend highly enough. If you are in the area you must try it. ."
