Ballymore Inn
Ballymore eustace
27/04/2025: Burger was dry, too much rice in the kids Indian meal and the chicken was chewy, not enough sauce in the Indian and personally I would like more bread
08/04/2025: Arrived for a 2nd visit to the ballymore Inn on Sunday. We had a great experience early this year and wrote a positive review on here.
We ordered 2 starters, first was their specials menu but it arrived without tomatoes or pecans. The potatoe skins did disappoint even though my previous review mentions how lovely we found them even if the portions was huge
Main course ordered was sea trout which came with honey carrot pureed with coconut rice..the trout was over cooked and the carrot and rice added nothing
We did raise the over cooked trout with the waiting staff and while we had enough they insisted we let them bring a 2 plate..and when it arrived it was only slightly better
We didn't comment on the fish and chips. The fish came in 2 pieces..the first piece was very poor and while the 2nd piece looked better we didn't try anymore just nimbled on her chips
They discount one of the starters but charged for the trout
Not sure we'll return but 50% of our visits are disappointing

The Thatch Bar & Restaurant
Ballymore eustace
16/07/2024: When we arrived at 11.35 we were told that the breakfast menu was finished, but if we wanted to take a seat they would get us the lunch menus.
We waited half an hour before the menus were printed and bright over.
There was black dots floating in the drinking water so I had to order different water.
Finally, when we did order from the freshly printed menu not all choices were available.
14/07/2024: Thatch and thyme can be great for a catchup coffee with friends or to break up a long journey. Unfortunately it's not consistent.
Negatives first which hopefully can be reviewed and improved. Eggs Benedict, royal and similar are always tasty but the baps are always soggy, not sure is this from water off the egg or the sauce. Got the porridge recently and was expecting fruit compote, honey and muesli, received slightly undercooked porridge, tiny bowl of 1-2 cut strawberries, few seeds in another bowl. No honey. No cutlery. A friend got the açaí smoothie bowl, with fruit, coconut and muesli. Muesli was missing, didn't taste like açaí and was super runny. It did taste nice, presentation was lacking,the fruit had sunk to the bottom.
The salmon and chicken salad plates can often be a bit dry around the edges.
There is no baby changing table in the bathroom?
The baby chairs do not seem like restaurant quality and are very unsteady on the natural floor. They are also filthy. I don't think the straps have ever been washed. Some of the clips to hold the tray were broken.
Positives: On a good day the fish is cooked perfectly, the menu has great options, lovely salads. Coffee is really good. Hake when it's on is to die for, flavors all compliment each other. Open sandwich on their brown bread is so filling. Goats cheese tart and beetroot is really tasty. Has real depth to the taste.
The flagstone floor adds character and is probably a nightmare to clean but it is kept tidy considering. The outside area is lovely with fresh herbs growing and for a small area they have done a fantastic job.
