The Old Thatch in Killeagh

Good atmosphere, food was amazing and had very generous portions.

The blue LED lights out front are shockingly blinding as you drive down the road towards the entrance. And the same lights around the exterior do nothing for the atmosphere of what otherwise could be a nice space. Unfortunately the bright blue light completely takes away from the historic look and feel of the thick thatch. A danger on the road for drivers and a disservice to the atmosphere of the space.

My friend had the I believe Hake over potato with veg and a sauce to the side which he said was so nice. I had the Turkey carvery which I can only say was not worth the money. Bland mash, over cooked turkey, that much stuffing which appeared to of been not very rehydrated, very granulated and not cooked. Veg which was broccoli, cauliflower and carrots either near raw or that over cooked by the microwave left it in edible. Meals that came out looked nice so perhaps the carvery just needs a little TLC, even my friend who tried my meal said there was so much of a difference in quality. Beautiful location, great service, would go back when over here again but will choose a different meal

Very clean, great food and great service.

I’ve been here a few times over the past few years and this was my first bad experience. I asked if I could change one item on my breakfast, which I felt was a reasonable request, especially as the item I wanted was already included with another breakfast on the menu. I don’t understand why it wasn’t possible to simply swap it rather than waste food that wouldn’t be eaten. The toilets were quite dusty and not up to the standard I would expect, with it looking like a proper deep clean hadn’t been done in some time. Unfortunately, quite disappointing and I wouldn’t be rushing back again.

Fantastic homemade food, seafood chowder was amazing!!

We recently had a meal at The Thatch Restaurant and it was outstanding from start to finish. The food was absolutely amazing—every dish was beautifully presented, full of flavour, and cooked to perfection. The quality and attention to detail really stood out. The staff were equally impressive; they were welcoming, friendly, attentive, and made us feel so well looked after throughout our visit. It was a fantastic dining experience with exceptional food and service. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend The Thatch Restaurant to anyone looking for a memorable meal.

While on a recent trip to Ireland we found ourselves going back to The Old Thatch several times. Whether it was the steak sandwich, the cajun chicken or the burgers & chips...it was always fantastic! Sunday in the beer garden was definitely a highlight! The staff was super friendly the beer was cold and clean and the atmosphere was great!!! We'll see you again Old Thatch!!!!

Absolutely delicious food and lovely friendly staff

This place combines very nice aspects with less pleasant ones. First, the positives. The staff are very friendly. The beer garden is lovely, and the nearby river adds a lot of charm. As for the food, I have mixed feelings. The veggie burger was the worst part. I don't mean the bun or the toppings, but the patty itself was terrible. It was extremely spicy, which should be clearly marked on the menu, but besides that, it was just awful. It's obvious it wasn't made in-house and was store-bought, which isn't a problem in itself, but the staff should at least try it. If they did, they definitely wouldn't serve it in their restaurant. The rest of the ingredients were good, but the patty ruined the overall impression. As for the venue itself, it has a nice atmosphere, but some parts need renovation, like the men's restrooms, which are in poor condition. It's a place with potential, but it needs someone to raise its standards. The customer-facing staff are doing what they can, but not everything is up to them.
