Matt the Thresher in Birdhill

Better than pub grub. Great for lunch

Possibly the best fish I have had to date in Ireland, ever. Fresh fish cooked to perfection! Delicious!!!!! We recently went to a branch of this restaurant in Dublin and loved it so tried our local one!! The food was even better! Staff were fabulous and very efficient! We went on a Tuesday night so it was as expected a bit quiet! I had the mussels to start which were spot on, lovely sauce! Followed by the Cod, green beans and a cherry tomato 🍅, boiled new potatoes! It was so perfectly cooked 10/10. My wife had the scampi and said the were even better than the Dublin ones! I raved all evening!! No room for dessert. Pictures to follow! Favourite new place to eat!!!!! AMAZING THANK YOU 🙏

Absolutely superb meal, we were a group of 6, out for a celebratory meal. Not a single negative, food beautifully presented and the flavours were just top class. Staff efficient, and kind, lovely quiet old world atmosphere.

Had a superb meal with 4 family members who travelled from other parts of Ireland. I had the braised lamb with mash and gravy. It was Fantastic. My wife loved her Sirloin steak.

Food and service OK. Big back barn type of dining room cold in winter and not customer friendly as the other dining areas.

Very friendly and accommodating staff. Food and service excellent

I used to be a regular visitor to this fine establishment before the motorway was opened. I was staying in the area recently and decided to pay it a visit to see was if it was as good as ever! I certainly wasn't disappointed! From the moment we arrived (without a reservation 😊) we were made feel very welcome by the fabulous hostess who went out of her way to accommodate us. The food was delicious and the staff were all very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place. But please save them the headache and make a reservation! Well done all and thank you.

Very good food and friendly staff

Stopped in during.a ride south for a light lunch and a pint. Place was quite full but they found a table for my large group without too much problem. I had the club sandwich, which was very nice and others in my group had a delicious soup of the day. A perfect short visit!

Came for lunch with family when over from the UK. Really nice looking pub, narrow with the tables quite tight together, but full of character. Food was generally good, portions a little small so could be more generous. Lots of parking at the back
