Pembroke Kilkenny in Kilkenny

Overall a good experience. Food was tasty but the chips (fries) were right out of a frozen bag. For the cost and scale of this place hand cut chips would have been more appealing also they were cold to make matters worse. Staff were excellent, super nice and polite. Seats and table were lovely and comfortable. I would go back again and would recommend the steak.

The best meal in a long time. Magnificent cuisine with amazing dishes. Buttery soft ox cheeks - gnocchi...a taste experience - pork with a crust and a delicate jus. For me, the number one in Kilkenny. 😍

This was by far the best meal I have eaten in a very long time ! If you take a trip to Kilkenny you must visit the Statham‘s by Pembroke it is so worth it!

Oh my giddy aunt- I would actually put this meal in the Top 5 meals I've had so far in my life. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms or anything with that texture, however I love anything pasta-like and Italian, which includes gnocchi. Holy mother of God, I've never tasted anything like the mushroom ragu with crispy gnocchi. The crispy gnocchi was divine, I have no words and 400 words to describe this dish! I can't stop talking or thinking about it! The flavours were beautiful. I would consider myself a fast eater but despite how hungry I was, I managed to slow down and savour every bite because I didn't want the bowl to empty! I have eaten in Statham's several times before, mainly for lunch/brunch and they have been delicious. I particularly chose Statham's on this occasion to get my friend to try the hash browns as a side but I was well and truly blown away by this main! I hope it never leaves the menu, I will be so upset if it does! Aside from my very obvious grá for this dish- the staff were fantastic, it was the Saturday of a busy Paddy's weekend, after the Six Nations match. They were so fab whenever we needed assistance and gave a great wine pairing for the dish- so much so, we had to take a picture of the bottle for future reference! All round 10/10 experience, I love Statham's and always recommend it to friends!

Saint Patrick afternoon Stathams was exceptionally busy however floor team & waiting staff were so helpful to find extra seats . Menu was compact but plenty of choice order was taken promptly and food arrived in excellent time . Both dishes were superb and so fresh Cod and stew . We will be back

Always welcoming staff and great for breakfast, gluten free options a great bonus. They do groups so lovely for events.

Good classic Irish breakfast. No surprises or disappointments.

Gorgeous food and very friendly staff. Will absolutely visit again many times.

We stopped by for a quick lunch and both ordered the loaded hash browns. They were absolutely divine—crispy, fluffy, not overly sauced, and the portion size was massive. The staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was pleasant. I would definitely recommend this place.

Superb all around. The food was above our already high expectations, we had the soup for starters and the mushroom gnocchi or sirloin steak for mains with the (amazing) hashbrowns as a side and we were all beyond satisfied. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Food was served quickly, portion sizes left us with no room for desert. /John
