18/10/2025: Chicken special today was superb! Hit all right notes with ginger, bok choy, onion, etc! Loved it. Super service from Maria and all staff. Impressed.

17/10/2025: Impeccable and quick service, friendly approachable staff, brilliant welcoming ambiance overall would absolutely come back

15/09/2025: Stopped here for a meal. It was very good, served by very pleasant staff. Would recommend highly.

14/09/2025: Visited with a large group for food, the food was delicious and large portions. The staff were very friendly and helpful, no request was an issue especially for a large group. The place was packed with three bus loads.

12/09/2025: Great portions , An all round good chippa , worth a drop in

24/08/2025: I love the southern style chicken box with the oreo milkshake! This is one of my favourite fastfood places ever. Last time it was emptier, less saucy, etc and the service was slow with two staff members (but this is very very rare), but Gabriela (I might spell it wrong) made my order perfectly (super saucy and cheesy), was super nice and offered great fast service. :D

22/08/2025: Lovely setting, very clean , friendly staff and strangers. Loved it and can't wait to go back ♥️

05/08/2025: We stopped there for lunch between the visit of Loughcrew and Fore abbey. The place was quiet. We really like the decoration. We had carvery dishes as main, leg of lamb and turkey and ham. They were very nice, and so were the side dishes. That was very good. The deserts were not as good, still ok. The apple pie's crust was very soggy though the filling was nice. And why the plastic cup under the ice cream? Setvice was good.

10/07/2025: We stopped at this lovely spot on our little road trip around the Atlantic way, it was a brilliant find. It looked so interesting from outside. The purple building with the craft stall, and sign with frieda kahla. We had two dogs with us and we were allowed to sit outside with them. We were welcomed by the lovely owner, who promptly told us there were fresh scones out of the oven and she had made apple and plum cake fresh that day. We were surprised the menu was vegetarian, but it was not a problem. The food was absolutely delicious!! I got the cheese and onion panini and it had mustard and relish and was so delicious. The cake was phenomenal! I also had a mocha. And it was the best I’d had this whole week! The stall out the front sells the owners crafts, there is lovely adult and children’s clothes. I got a dress for my niece and an apron for myself. I can’t wait to go back on our yearly visit to Downings!

05/07/2025: Lovely place for a break, all home cooked, fresh food, great selection of food and a very helpful and friendly service.

03/10/2025: The staff are friendly and the food is good

14/07/2025: Very good restaurant with a traditional atmosphere

13/09/2025: I got a sausage roll which was nice. My partner got a waffle with banana , and a tiny Dribble of Nutella. The waffle was stone cold so exchange it for a apple crumble, which was ok. Had to go back and ask for a refund. We also witnessed one member of staff handling food with there Bare hands while using the cash register and making coffees , so that was a Red flag. Staff are lovely Though.

01/09/2025: Super cozy, I discovered it while waiting for the bank to open. I need to comeback with the wife. Lovely shop and a very friendly girl served my tea.

05/05/2025: Had dinner here the other day, while the sun was out. The views are particularly astounding in any weather, but with the sun out in all its glory it's fantastic. There's even a boat moared up, also waiting to go in to the restaurant. Then whilst my friend + I we're having our dinner, another bigger boat pulled in.

31/03/2025: Amazing food cooked to perfection, and the service was brilliant, we stayed there for two nights and the rooms were very nice

23/08/2025: Love this place, I stop here regularly when passing through Carlow😊

19/08/2025: Fabulous garden centre. Lovely walks. The cafe is great , good food and staff are very helpful

15/08/2025: I brought my mom for very 1st time to experience Afternoon Tea in Lord Mayor’s Lounge at The Shelbourne hotel. Together with her and also my sister in law and little niece we had amazing experience, everything was delicious, the desserts looks fairytale and taste heavenly, we been completely spoiled by our waitress Karla and lovely Imelda. Thank you so much girls for everything.

03/08/2025: We had a booking for 12:00 and got there at 11:55. They sat us down and at that time there were only 2 or 3 other tables with people. As more people came in, they were all getting served before us. We noticed that the waiters were explaining to each table how it all worked as they were seating the guests. No one explained how it worked or came to our table for 20 minutes, at which point we just left. As we were leaving, other tables were getting food and tea. There was staff standing around, and our table was very visible. Waiters were constantly walking past us. I don’t think it’s acceptable to have to hail a waiter at a 5 star hotel when expected to pay 75 euro (minimum) a head. We ended up going to Bewley’s and were served within 5 minutes without even having a booking. I went to the Westbury for afternoon tea last year and the service was a lot better. Maybe we just got unlucky but I would definitely never go back to the Shelbourne, especially when paying that amount of money.
