16/01/2026: Eaten here many years ago on regular basis so keen to hit it after years away and visiting area. Firstly no potatoes in madras unfortunately,,rice fine and madras sauce just ok and slightly bland.Garlic naan I found extremely doughy and soggy. Not the same of old memories unfortunately.

15/01/2026: Tasty food with good quantity. Highly recommend 👌 👍

18/01/2026: My family and I drive for 40mins to any of the branches to dine on a regular basis , we are in citywest but love the food ,atmosphere and overall experience in GFPs so we just have one problem and thats that they haven't opened on our side of the city yet but definitely worth the tolls, fuel and travel , can't wait to pop back

18/10/2025: A great find. Fresh and a good selection.

27/12/2025: This, a quitebigger pub is welcoming you with an inviting and warm atmosphere. The decoration is absolutely unique. It attracts a mixed crowd, predominantly older but with some younger faces too. With plenty of screens, it's a great spot to catch a game and chat with friends. Parking is a breeze, right across the road at the village castle car park. And the pints and beers? Top-notch. The staff is friendly. Will definitely be back.

19/12/2025: Food is lovely, and staff are friendly when they come to you. Slow service, wouldn't recommend coming here if you're in a rush. Very few staff in the lower area and you end up having to wait a while if you sit there

31/01/2026: Ordered from here Friday evening. Unfortunately the sweet and sour chicken wasn’t good. The chicken had a tough, stringy texture and the sauce tasted flat and overly sweet. Won’t be ordering again.

28/01/2026: I am eating from here since 2019 and every time it’s so tasty and fresh, maybe this is the 3rd time give a 5 star in last 7 year, the food is outstanding and so yummy……never had a bad meal here well done.

03/01/2026: A fantastic pub. Great atmosphere and the owner is amazing. We feel very comfortable and will gladly come back.

27/12/2025: Looking for a small, comfortable pub? This establishment features two bar areas and is popular with an older crowd, although some younger people also attend. It's a great place to watch sports, with numerous screens and ample space for conversation. Parking is super easy – just use the village castle car park across the street. The staff is friendly and helpful, and they serve very good pints, there are many types of beers. A beautiful place.

11/02/2026: I spent four nights here, repeatedly trying to get them to fix my heating so it wasn't an actual sauna. I asked them to do this every day and throughout the night. I asked over and over. I was bought a broken fan. The hotel room phone didn't work so each time I either had to get up or phone internationally. Apparently this is not enough for their so called guarantee. I should have been less nice about my entire lack of sleep that ruined my trip. Wasted my entire week and my money because I could not sleep.

04/02/2026: Perfect place for overnight near the airport with shuttle to airport, cost 3 Eur. Hotel have a good connection with Dublin, bus stop is just nearby

11/10/2025: Amazing service from our waitress, Sabrina Veríssimo. It was our first visit to the restaurant, and she was very patient explaining the dishes and very kind to our children.

11/10/2025: More interested in kicking us out than serving us. While we appreciate that the staff need to go home, being told the second you walk in at 8:45 they close at 10 then reminded every ten minutes is pretty poor tbh.

08/11/2025: Very less staff on the counter always slow and they don’t care much if customers are waiting when food and drinks are ordered on the app they don’t even bring the drink on time all the ice gets melted and the drink doesn’t even taste good… very bad service

08/11/2025: The food here so consistent. Breakfast is great and the selection is great to choose from. Its December 2017 and the service is fab The new Manager Nicole knows what great service is it comes natural. Bar Manager Dennis is sound Darren the barman is very professional. Christine great with customers gone Now Lovely girl A credit to the oldborough. 100% Nice selection of beers try the Devils Backbone. Food and service here is great. A great starting place. Let's not forget the chef and kitchen staff waitress and waiters. A nice friendly atmosphere here. Amy and all the guys Well done to all the staff. Happy Xmas to all the staff at The Old Borough Swords

20/12/2025: The owner was very rude and was being openly hostile and disrespectful towards his staff who were working hard and diligently.

23/10/2025: Nice cosy place, friendly staff and good breakfast

20/01/2026: Brunch was really nice, really worth to give a try. Service was good and fast. Unfortunately, some drinks on the menu were not available. I would recommend it tho

17/01/2026: Where do I start never one to leave a review but the service was appalling, waiting 25 minutes seated for our order to be taken and 3 separate people walk in and get seated and served straight away so I decided to ask can we order as it's been 25 minutes already if I hadn't of asked the lady we would be left sitting there. We then get told there was no breakfast left even tho the previous 3 other people had all just ordered deluxe and large breakfast not even moments ago to be told there is none left disgraceful service to say the least will never be returning again.

18/01/2026: Amazing pub, great service and a good pint

04/01/2026: Excellent pub and great service

11/07/2025: Very busy venue but nice coffee.

08/06/2025: Pavilions Swords is very busy but service is on point and food and coffee does the job for the weary shopper!
