30/06/2026: Food is good ...supermacs is probably one of the best fat foods restaurants around much better than many of the others except for one thing ...almost every fat food place other than supermacs provides sweetener with teaand coffee..whereas Supermacs don't ..and won't As a diabetic I find this policy lacking in foresight ...I've written to them and got a reply to say that they have no plans to introduce sweetener either .. With so many different allergies and other issues that are being dealt with this has to be one of the easiest to deal with ...sadly not Supermacs I gave 3 stars out of 5 ...I'd have given 5 except they refused my request

12/06/2026: This is one of the good Supermac's locations with nice people! The staff are actually helpful and have great manners. It is a wonderful, clean spot where people can enjoy quick, delicious meals with excellent service!

17/07/2026: Awesome wrap and burger here are delicious.

06/06/2026: Good place to solve a meal or get some with friends. Fries with vinegar and salt wwere really good. Burguers and fish n chips etc were nice too

03/08/2026: Poor. Waited 30 min as they prioritize online orders. Got 4 soda bread sandwiches and they all ended in bin. Sausages tasted of nothing and eggs rock hard.

01/08/2026: Couldn't wait to try this place. We had it yesterday. Very disappointed. Paid €19.50 for 2 breakfast rolls and an Americano coffee. Waited ages on the rolls which would have been fine until we seen what we were handed. For that price I expect a proper and a big roll... it was a hotdog bun!!! Omg very disappointed. Was gone in 2 bites. Tiny hardly anything on them. Definitely wouldn't be returning. They need to serve proper baguettes or rolls not try fit a breakfast roll onto a hotdog bun!! Genuinely never been more disappointed.

23/05/2026: My only complaint is the food could be hotter but outside of that, absolutely yummmmmmmmyyyyyy.

20/05/2026: Went through the drive through, ordered chicken tender meal. Received food after a ridiculously long wait and left, checked food and I was missing chips, had to turn around and waste valuable time from my break to go back and get chips, no apology or anything from the guy in the window just gave me the chips and slammed the window shut

15/07/2026: Great choice of goods. Friendly staff.

09/07/2026: Great food eating in. Interesting selection of food goods for sale. Range of other goods including clothing by named brands, but not cheap. Definitely worth a visit if in the area.

03/06/2026: I'm deeply saddened by the news of the Betsy's closure, swords mainstreet won't be the same without it.

25/05/2026: We booked our engagement party at The Betsy in Swords and unfortunately the entire experience was stressful from beginning to end. When we first visited the venue, the manager clearly told us that we could bring decorations, sweets and even a few bottles of prosecco for a toast. However, when I later emailed to confirm everything in writing, Caroline replied saying that prosecco was not allowed and that parts of our decoration setup were also not allowed. We returned to the venue to clarify things and honestly, that should have been the moment we cancelled. The same manager became extremely passive aggressive and unhelpful. Unfortunately, invitations had already been sent and we were already under pressure trying to organise everything, so we just accepted the changes and moved forward after finally getting approval for our save-the-date decoration setup. Sadly, the actual party was even worse. We booked “Betsy Below” because we were specifically told there would be background music until the DJ arrived later, which sounded perfect for an engagement party where people could eat, talk and socialise comfortably. Instead, when we arrived at 7:10pm, the music was unbelievably loud — louder than many nightclubs. Nobody could properly speak to each other. We had around 70 guests sharing the space with another smaller party, and many people were visibly uncomfortable because of the volume. I politely asked the barman if the music could be lowered slightly just until the food service or DJ started. His response was incredibly rude. He refused immediately and said, “This is not a private party.” That response was unnecessary and unprofessional, especially considering that the majority of people in that area were our guests. To make things worse, none of the decorations or sweets had been set up, despite being told beforehand that the staff would handle the setup if we delivered everything earlier in the day. When we arrived, everything was still sitting inside boxes. Overall, the customer service was honestly shocking: poor communication, rude staff, lack of organisation and zero care for the client experience. Do not be fooled by how aesthetically nice the venue looks online or in person. The venue may look beautiful, but when it comes to customer care, professionalism and organisation, the experience was extremely disappointing. If you are planning any important event there, make sure EVERYTHING is confirmed in writing beforehand

30/07/2026: Best smoothie around 🤗 lovely boss lady ✨

19/05/2026: My local shop. Dog friendly and lovely friendly staff. I visit nearly daily.

31/07/2026: We ate very well and the waiters were great.

29/07/2026: Terrible experience today. I visited this restaurant today and ordered several items, Khas Kebab, veg biryani, saag paneer, and fries. Unfortunately, every single dish was a letdown. The food was completely tasteless, with no salt, no spice, and no balance. The vegetables in the biryani were practically raw, like a mixed salad tossed into oily rice. The Khas Kebab, which is supposed to be their signature item, had no flavour at all. The saag/palak was served first as a strange yellow spinach mix, then replaced with a pot of uncooked palak floating in liquid. Nothing was prepared properly, and the quality was far below acceptable. On top of all this, the prices were extremely high for what was served. I do not recommend this place for anything. Don’t waste your time, money, energy, or mood, it’s not worth a single penny.

31/07/2026: A real gem in Swords, we meet for brunch. Pros, food good, great selection, service good, prices reasonable, can reserve a table for a group. Why not try it out. Staff are always helpful, they have high chairs for toddlers. Cons.....

23/07/2026: There are two types of cafés. The first has chalkboards, artisan coffee and sandwiches so small you'd need a magnifying glass to find the filling. The second is run by people who actually care about feeding you. The Cottage in Swords falls firmly into the second camp. My father had just landed, I'd collected him from the airport, and the pair of us were absolutely starving. We arrived with about ten minutes before closing, fully expecting to be told, "Sorry, kitchen's closed." Instead, the owners welcomed us in with a smile, told us to sit down and never once made us feel like we were keeping them from going home. While we waited, we got chatting. They spoke openly about how difficult it has become to run a small business when you're buying proper Irish chicken, decent butter and quality ingredients that seem to go up in price every other week. You could tell this wasn't just another café to them. It was personal. Then the club sandwich arrived. Now, a club sandwich shouldn't be difficult. Bread. Chicken. Bacon. Lettuce. Tomato. Yet so many places still manage to make a complete mess of it. Not here. Everything tasted fresh. The chicken actually tasted like chicken, the bacon was perfectly cooked, and every ingredient had a purpose. It wasn't piled high for Instagram. It was simply made properly. What I like to call "made with love." No shortcuts. No corners cut. Just an honest, ridiculously good sandwich. Sometimes it's the places you stumble across by accident that leave the biggest impression. If you're looking for breakfast, brunch or just one of the best sandwiches you'll find in Swords, The Cottage deserves to be on your list. And to the owners, thank you for staying open that little bit longer and reminding me that great hospitality costs nothing... but it means everything.

26/07/2026: The place is beautiful and peaceful. We had a great time. The drinks were delicious. However, I ordered a drink with oat milk, but it came with regular milk. I didn't notice right away. I felt really sick all day and had a stomach ache.

18/07/2026: Lovely place for brekki or lunch

29/07/2026: The best place to get pizza but sadly they don't deliver to lusk so I normally get pizza max in rush but papa johns probably be my number 1 I love the pizza there and friendly staff

24/07/2026: Management and staff extremely accommodating for group order at short notice! Very professional!
