08/10/2025: Small, quaint shop with excellent food and friendly staff! I had the Nutella banana pancakes and my husband Breakfast nap sandwich. Both were delicious!! We also had the raspberry almond cake. Tea and coffee were great. Reasonably priced and food was super fresh! A must see!

05/09/2025: We recently ordered a sandwich platter for 15 people from the Floury Apron. They were absolutely top quality and we had a great mix of fillings in ciabatta , foccacia, wraps and slice pan. Caroline was very attentive via email and followed up afterwards to make sure we were happy with our order. Food, service and value were all 10/10. Would highly recommended.

26/10/2025: Now, THiS is how you do a carvery lunch. Chef Donal’s generous portions, loads of choice of meats ( or fish) on the menu, plentiful supply of veg and types. 25 euro for main course carvery selection and dessert. Equally large choice of desserts to choose from. Fully serviced bar with huge selection of local and international brews and drinks available. Sport enthusiasts have the big screens to watch if interested which are on low volume during lunch. The staff are super friendly from the front door to service and kitchen. The venue were very accommodating of our wheel- chair guest in our party. There is loads of parking outside. We came in height of Sunday carvery lunch at 1.30pm without a reservation and were seated in minutes despite the restaurant being bustling with punters. Wow, wow, wow.
