King House Tea Room in Boyle

15/08/2026: We were a group of seven dining here and, despite it being his first day, our server was absolutely fantastic. He was genuinely lovely, friendly, attentive and did everything he could to look after us. Given the circumstances, he handled himself really well and deserves a lot of credit. That said, we did feel it was unfair that someone on their very first day was left to deal with a busy restaurant and a large table, as well as cover the bar & drinks under so much pressure, apparently without anyone properly supervising or supporting him. This isn’t a criticism of the server at all, quite the opposite. He did a great job despite being put in a very difficult position. Hopefully the management can take this as constructive feedback, because leaving a new member of staff to fend for themselves on a busy first shift doesn’t reflect particularly well on the restaurant’s training or quality standards. Overall, our server was excellent and couldn’t have been nicer. We just hope he’s given the support and training he deserves going forward.
