The best restaurants

05/08/2025: Here for dinner a few times and food just keeps getting better and better , recently went on a Tuesday and had the new tapas menu which was a great addition to the menu , cocktails are always delicious aswell , staff are lovely friendly , will defiantly be returning keep up the good work

01/08/2025: I got the tomato and meatballs to start and they were delicious to be honest the best ive ever had then I had the pork belly and it was fantastic the standard up in the station is second to none well done Sara and georgie and all the staff !!

05/09/2025: Hello, Today I went to the gas station and asked the staff to exchange €2 so I could wash my car. He refused and told me that €2 is not enough, and that I must pay at least €8. This was frustrating because I only needed a quick wash, and I don’t think it’s fair to refuse the exchange or to impose a minimum amount without informing customers clearly. I kindly ask you to look into this matter. Thank you.

11/10/2024: Seems to be permanently closed :(

29/09/2024: 10/10, the burgers and fries were delicious and they were kind enough to still cook for us even when we got there right when they were closing (wasn't aware I'm sorry!)

16/12/2025: Was attending a professional training day with an Electronics Instrument supplier at Maynooth Uni in the Phoenix building. Excellent support and service. Food and drinks were excellent. Parking permits were a bit disorganised - the students in charge needed more training. Lovely campus.

30/09/2025: Lovely staff in here, especially the man behind the counter most days! So refreshing to have such lovely customer service when popping in to get petrol etc. I hope their hard work is rewarded by maxol as they are a great face for their company.

26/05/2025: Friendly staff always , very kind , very helpful , however I really hope you do something about the entitled ignorant parents who block pumps and wait for their children in your forecourt , unbelievable they refused to move I hope you don't tolerate this

10/08/2024: Little place. Went on Sat cafe was closed.

23/05/2024: Excellent place to visit. Pet farm, garden centre and a lovely cafe with super friendly staff

23/04/2024: This is a lovely hotel we stayed last Saturday night it was extremely busy 3 functions going on which we didn't mind. But they did not give us the hotel room which I booked but rather put us in a log cabin on arrival we were informed we got a upgrade which to honest wasn't in our opinion the bed was a very small double and typical of Ireland badly finished no point having sink tables chairs and kettle if u have no fridge or microwave. This was OK for us wecwere only staying overnight but we booked a table for 2 on arrival for 7.30 but it wasn't kept so we ended up eating very late near to 9 o clock. It was a lovely meal in fairness but overall we felt a bit cheated surely they should ring u if they don't have the room u booked and then when leaving I got told the bill was 222 euros great I said but it wasn't there was 254 euros taken from account they added on tax of 23% and 13.5% should have been said. As a result I would nt come back shame.

22/07/2025: Se dejó caer para una pinta en un capricho alrededor de las 3 pm en un día de semana. Bonito y tranquilo - no hay turistas (aparte de nosotros! ). Tom, el barman, era amable y atractivo y muy bien informado sobre su extensa colección de whisky. Los pocos lugareños eran agradables y conversadores. Volvería en un santiamén. Un ambiente muy relajado y acogedor.

13/05/2024: Regular customer just been treated like dirt by person on phone. Always order using their app. Each order get a text and for every 10 you get a discount. Discount codes automatically apply and you cant charge them so even though discount code was on account when tried to order it wasn't taking ir off order so I called. The person on the phone was horrid. Rudest person I ever came across. Told me they didn't sent texts and hung up. I called back said Did you hang up she said yes because we don't send texts. I explained it was from ordering app and had she an email address I could show her the texts she said roughly come to the shop!! And hung up. I'm agoraphobic. I don't care about the discount I care about being treated like dirt from staff. No one is bothered. But you don't speak to customers like that when they are not being rude

23/07/2025: Best place to go for food in swords pints are delish and the craic is ninety with the music upstairs love it brilliant experience

21/07/2025: We had a very nice lunch in The Cock Tavern recently, my first visit in many years as I've moved away from the Swords area now. The place looks great, it's so cool and airy on what was a very hot day, comfortable seating. Loved the decor and atmosphere indide. Good service, very friendly and fast. Decent menu, two of us had dekucioufish and chips, the third had a tasty soup. Everyone was very happy with the food. Obviously, it has anything you'd ever want to drink as it's a pub, and the menus was nicely varied. A good option if you're in the area. It's great to see the place is still going during after all these years.
