Jimmy's Takeaway
Ballon
17/03/2025: The food is nice but be prepared for a long wait unless your a local ! - The queuing & ordering system is ridiculous - We had to wait for about 40 mins for only 4 bags of chips, with locals coming in after us & ordering & collecting theirs ahead of us. - stupidly frustrating !
26/02/2025: Always fresh and good quality ingredients. Big portions and very good value.
Friendly and professional staff. Highly recommend Jimmy's Takeaway in Bunclody.

Grill House
Tullow
14/02/2025: The food is amazingly good with a good portion size. The staff is lovely and the atmosphere is relaxing. The decoration has a farmhouse style and the wall has artwork from local artists. The bathroom is also very clean. There is a car park nearby and only 2 min walk from an electric car charging point. If I ever pass by Tullow again I would definitely visit this place.
16/11/2024: Got a take away delivered. Food still hot and tasty 😋

Conways Kildavin
Kildavin
09/03/2025: Absolutamente terrible establecimiento. Nos quedamos esperando a que nos sentaran a pesar de que solo estaba medio lleno y dos de las chicas que trabajaban allí se quedaron hablando y riendo en el bar. Cuando finalmente nos sentamos la chica se alejó inmediatamente sin preguntar si queríamos una copa mientras miraba el menú. Una chica diferente vino a tomar el pedido de bebidas y estaba tan desinteresada y grosera que decidimos irnos. No vamos a volver y vamos a disuadir a amigos y familiares de ir allí. Terrible atención al cliente y personal muy poco profesional.
26/01/2025: First time eating in Conway's food was excellent very nice staff
