old market in Bandon

14/10/2025: 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

20/09/2025: 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.
