Treacy's Bar & Restaurant
            10/10/2025: We stopped off here with our 2 dogs as its dog friendly.  We had two delicious meals each and our dogs even got brought some sausages.  The food, service and value here is absolutely brilliant. Highly recommend a visit.
    
        
            06/10/2025: We stopped here for lunch last week, while you have to leave the M7 to get to Treacys, it is well worth it.
There is a great selection of food, full lunches or sandwiches,  whichever you're looking for, all lovely and well presented.
We have stopped here before and will do so again in the future.

            16/10/2025: We were visiting family and went there for something to eat. From getting there it felt like we were welcome. We got our table and Danni Kennedy served us.

            13/09/2025: Love O'Deas however was very disappointed recently with their chicken curry, portion was tiny.  There were only 4 very small pieces of chicken in it and hardly any veg. Portion of rice was small also.

Ashbrook Arms

            03/08/2025: Located in a historic building, the hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms. The furnishings are obviously antique, but this adds to the place's charm. The hotel has a highly recommended restaurant serving excellent Irish cuisine.

The Castle Arms Hotel
Durrow
            12/09/2025: To be honest , a little disorganised,  food on a average par, service good , clean no tables sticky and cutlery not washed well.
    
        
            06/08/2025: In March I had my partners 55th Birthday 🎂 We had a lovely time with family.
We had Carvery lunch and it's our favourite. Staff very friendly and professional.  Food Delicious 😋

Charter Bar
Portlaoise
            05/07/2025: Good grub, good service, friendly feel, could have done with a couple of more chips ,but then I'm hungry b#st£rd.
    
        
            04/07/2025: Main courses were grand, I did order a sticky toffee pudding which was actually a very dry bland chocolate cake. I hate doing it but I sent it back. No fuss, the guy dealing with it was very polite and helpful. Staff are ran off their feet, not near enough of them and this made service fall short, waiting 20+ mins after asking for bill. To really emphasise, the wait staff themselves are individually great and cannot be faulted, management is the clear issue here! They really need to do better to look after food standards and smooth service

Papa John's
            11/10/2025: Found a hair under the pepperoni on our pizza at Supermacs .When I reported it, the manager accused me of putting it there and even pointed directly at me, though I wasn’t sitting where she claimed. She mentioned CCTV evidence but refused to show us, and when our coach saw it, it proved nothing. Staff gave us a free pizza and chips, but were rude and dismissive the whole time. Two days later, I ordered a chocolate muffin with ice cream and again found something inside (possibly hair or thread). Really disappointed with how it was handled, the situation could’ve been managed far more respectfully and professionally.
    
        
            17/09/2025: Called in yesterday at 9pm along with twelve others on the way back from the ploughing championships which was 20km away. We waited ages because there were only two people working there. Why these companies making millions each year but treating the public like fools is beyond me. The girl manager was run off her feet. Supermacs yet again you must be one of the worst employers in the country.  My photo shows no staff there and us poor fools standing for twenty minutes.
