The best restaurants

04/06/2026: Had soup of the day, delicious, home made and served with lovely home made brown soda bread. Definitely recommend

09/05/2026: Excellent food, great Irish cuisine (and more). The service is truly impeccable. I highly recommend it!

02/08/2026: I just had one of the most beautifully prepared meals I’ve had in ages. Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, beautifully presented. I showed up alone, underdressed and without a reservation on a busy holiday weekend and the staff was able to accommodate me and treated me very well. I will think fondly of this meal for quite some time and would come back again were I not departing the area tomorrow. I truly can’t say enough kind things about the food! Highly recommend.

09/06/2026: Always lovely to arrive into Sale e Pepe as feels like home as know all the staff for so long now

26/09/2026: Ate here as we were at a loose end for an early dinner. To say the meal was good would be a massive undersell. 35 euro for a 3 course early bird represents one of the best values for money anywhere. The sirloin on the bone, could not commend it highly enough. Cooked perfectly, finished with maldon salt. I ate earlier in the week in a steak restaurant in Dublin (known for their steaks). What they served didn't come close to the one I got in Arkle. Genuinely, an absolute gem of a restaurant. The setting, service, quality all 5/5.

14/09/2026: Hands down the worst dinner I’ve ever had. Service was nonexistent. We went in & found a table very easily particularly for a Sunday. After about ten minutes nobody had approached us so my husband went to the bar to order drinks & ask for menus. After 35 mins a waitress came to our table to say she was sorry but there had been a delay in the kitchen & our meals would be out shorty. I did notice that two tables that had been seated after us were half way through their food by the time ours had finally been brought out. My eldest daughter & I had order chicken supreme ( one of my favourite dishes) it was tiny! It came with two tiny carrots & something with a very rubbery texture, I genuinely couldn’t make out what is was. My husband & youngest daughter both had the fish & chips, an extremely large portion it has to be said but very expensive. We all were very disappointed with our meals extremely bland with no flavour. When it came time to pay the bill I noticed all the staff had disappeared, no one on the floor or behind the bar. Eventually a guy came back behind the bar & I went up to pay. Normally the general question is” was everything ok?” Nope I had the bill thumped down on the bar & I was told to check it. Luckily I did as we had been charged for an extra drink. Now I will say we did eat the meals as we knew the chances of find ing availability on a Sunday afternoon is slim. It really was a shame it’s a lovely looking hotel & bar and the receptionist at the front desk was lovely but o ce you step into the bar everything changes. Fair to expensive for poor service & bad food!

11/08/2025: Layout of store bit chaotic and some staff not helpful bit overall good quality food

10/08/2025: People always parking in mother and children spots and they wouldn't have kids with them,even with the parking warden around. Click and collect service in general is ok but not as good as other supermarkets ,e.g. substitutes selected are hit and miss (for example I ordered and air freshener and was given a candle which was 3 times the price !),products very near or on use by date. Other supermarkets do a price match guarantee when selecting substitutes.

18/09/2026: Extremely great service finished work at 2.30am was delighted with great happy and ultra helpful service

15/09/2026: Given it a 3 star . Just lack parking for coaches , if you included Hgv I guess I got it a 4 .. just driving around the site can be tight , over all great for a pit stop

18/07/2026: Chinese takeaway away. Cash only if paying in shop. Card etc online

27/06/2026: Spring rolls were nice but the beef was rubbery and cheap. Disappointing.

27/12/2025: Food not great the hotel needs Upgrade and more staff at parties and weddings . They give a resent glass of wine . Good location right in the middle of Bandon Kid friendly I am sure it’s great value

21/08/2026: Best piza in navan specialist Eltisham bahi great man with magical hands in making pizaa 💯 recommended

14/06/2026: Got a takeaway from here last night after a night out having a few drinks. I ordered and got a kebab, tapped my card to pay and when I checked this morning they had charged €20....gangsters!!

03/08/2026: The food was good; I ordered three different sets. Everyone was happy.

02/08/2026: The lovely potatoes they serve are reason enough to visit.

06/08/2026: Really good and tasty Spice bag, the staff was very friendly and nice to us. They cooked us a fresh batch. Open until late. The chicken portions are generous and the price is cheap.

06/08/2026: Very good and tasty food, fast delivery.

28/08/2026: Albeit a bit pricey you are guaranteed quality sandwiches, drinks and desserts in a spacious high ceiling environment with some al fresco seating available as well.

09/08/2026: Fabulously friendly and efficient service from George today.

16/09/2026: Place looks nice, but was very hot. Food was good but some dishes we ordered were not fresh - to long under heating lamps, and half cold. We waited very long for service to take our orders and for service between meals. Some starters didn't reach the table and some main courses were not what we ordered.

02/09/2026: Pretty decent, staff are great.

24/08/2026: Its definitely not the right place to drink a cappucinno.

25/05/2026: The service was okay overall, and the staff were pleasant enough. The coffee was good, but I found it a little pricey for what was offered. While the experience was satisfactory, better value for money would have made the visit more enjoyable.

27/01/2026: ordered a delivery on just eat as i always do the drinks were perfect and they left a lovely note on the bag that made my day !

05/09/2026: 2026 update: quality has declined a lot. I had crispy beef and no joke, it was like shoe leather covered in burnt brown sauce. Also I find it very annoying how they allow the delivery drivers to park in ♿️ space - ah sure it's only 5 min! If that is their attitude to rules, I have to wonder at their attitude to other things like food safety. Never again. Original 2020 review: great selection of food to take away or sit in a nice casual dining area. It styles itself as "health food" but really it is better described as a high quality take-away. The menu is mainly Asian but also the usual food favorites. Just watch out for the ruthless Apcoa clamper vans. Clamping, not parking, is their business model. Park for 5 minutes without a ticket or 5 minutes expired and they will have you. You can pay in slot meters but they are regularly sabotaged (understandably) by the locals so probably best to pay by text.

06/08/2026: Food was nice atmosphere was good very quite tho the service was great
