Munster Arms Hotel in Bandon

Stopped for lunch on my way to West Cork. Nice food and served quickly. Also very reasonable priced. Worth a visit if you're in Bandon

Passed through Bandon today and was going to get a takeaway. First I checked this hotel to see if they were serving food. The bar restaurant was serving and the menu had a good selection. I was going to go for the turkey and ham roast. I seen the Irish Guinness cottage stew on the menu and tried that. It was a beautiful meal beef cooked so well it was falling apart great flavours. The portion as you can see from the pics was large and a struggle to finish such a large tasty meal. Staff were great and very accommodating. Actually surprised there isn't an up to date menu on Google maps. Would highly recommend trying the food here as it is affordable and enjoyable. The Irish Beef Guinness stew and a glass of coke for €20 great value, maybe if some bread was offered with this meal as an option even one slice of soda bread or any type it would be great to dip it in to the meal. Great value, great portion, and what a nice hearty Irish meal. There was also a darts event on you can see just how busy this hotel is and caters for loss of different events and occasions. It was busy and still relaxing nice experience. The food should be promoted more, as for a solo meal it was very accommodating.

We recently celebrated our baby’s christening at the Munster Arms in Bandon, and we honestly could not have been happier with the entire experience. From start to finish, the staff went above and beyond to make the day so special — especially Mary, who was an absolute star. At very short notice due to unforeseen circumstances, she managed everything so seamlessly. Nothing was too much trouble. With a group of 27+ people (including lots of young kids!), we were so impressed by the level of care and attention we received. We had a private room, which was perfect for the kids to play and enjoy themselves. It looked newly renovated — the decor and colour scheme were just beautiful and added such a lovely touch to the atmosphere. Now, the food — it was absolutely exceptional. Every dish was beautifully presented, full of flavour, and arrived piping hot. Portion sizes were spot on, and the variety and quality were excellent. We also had vegan and vegetarian options, which were thoughtfully prepared and just as delicious. The whole team was incredibly friendly, warm and professional — nothing felt rushed, and every guest felt looked after. We genuinely couldn’t recommend the Munster Arms highly enough for any event — big or small. We’re so grateful for the wonderful memories they helped create on such an important day for our family. Thank you again!
