13/09/2026: ⭐ 1 Star – Extremely disappointing experience after almost 20 years of visiting I have been a regular visitor to Zucchini’s for almost 20 years. The food has always been excellent, and 99% of my restaurant and hotel reviews are positive. I am not someone who enjoys bashing businesses, which makes this review particularly disappointing. I booked a table online for my wife, my parents in their 70s and our 10-month-old baby. The booking system offered the option to add an infant and asked about buggy and high-chair requirements. I completed the booking and received confirmation. On arrival, I was told I had not booked for the infant and that there was no space for our group. I explained that I had booked correctly and tested the website on my phone, discovering that the infant appeared to disappear from the booking afterwards. I have screenshots and videos showing this. When I calmly raised the issue, the owner became extremely confrontational, told me to leave and threatened to call the Garda. This was deeply upsetting for my family, particularly my 77-year-old father. I want to give genuine credit to the assistant manager, who was polite, respectful and understanding. He acknowledged that there appeared to be an issue with the website and immediately tried to resolve the situation. Unfortunately, by that stage, we no longer felt comfortable remaining and decided to leave. Why I have been forced to post this review I initially posted a review on TripAdvisor and deliberately waited 24 hours to give the owner an opportunity to reflect and contact me. No such contact came. The restaurant’s response to my TripAdvisor review is inaccurate and fails to tell the full story. It states that the issue was resolved, but completely omits the threats made to intimidate me and my family. It also fails to acknowledge that we were respectful throughout, and that the assistant manager treated us with courtesy and professionalism. The owner was the person who was rude and confrontational, she was the only member of staff that we had any issue with. She did not have the manners to acknowledge any mistake, either at the restaurant or afterwards, and instead blamed me for a problem with the booking system. What makes this particularly frustrating is that I can now see the option to add an infant has been removed from their website. The issue appears to have been corrected, yet there has still been no apology. I have therefore felt forced to post this Google review as well as my TripAdvisor review, because I do not believe the restaurant’s response accurately reflects what happened. I have huge sympathy for the staff here, particularly the assistant manager, who handled a very difficult situation with professionalism and respect.

28/08/2026: Really impressed. Both had 3 courses, all irish sourced food. The lamb main was a special on the night and was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection. All 6 courses did not disappoint. To highlight my wife said, her black pudding salad starter was potentially the nicest starter she has ever had. Staff were all smiling and there was a nice atmosphere with the music playing at a reasonable decibel level. 10/10 would recommend.

01/10/2026: Great pub, great pints, nice atmosphere. The food is excellent time and time again. Can not recommend this place enough

22/09/2026: Amazing food and friendly staff.

11/10/2026: Fantastic experience 😃 Great food, fantastic service and staff that attends to every detail- very friendly 👏🏼 Highly recommended

01/08/2026: We went for dinner on Friday evening (yesterday). The food was good, and the service was amazing! We were treated very well with the two waitresses from the moment we arrived. They found out it was our anniversary and we got a little surprise firework with our dessert, nicely decorated with a congratulations message by chocolate piping around the plate. The early bird portions are large and a glass of wine was icluded that made the price very reasonable. Super great experience, thank you!

12/06/2026: We felt welcomed as soon as we arrived. The staff is amazingly helpful. The ONLY reason we didn't stay longer was because they were fully booked. Food was some of best we had in Ireland. We will definitely stay here when we return to Kells.

10/06/2026: Had afternoon tea here for a friend's birthday. Staff brought out a desert with candles and sang happy birthday and also offered to take photos which was greatly appreciated Food was lovely and service was great, only negative was they did not offer fresh tea and coffee during our visit. The only parking available on the day was council parking which is not connected to the hotel and the exit out of car park to the front of the hotel had no footpath.

12/09/2026: Food was exceptional and the service was great, will definitely return

10/09/2026: Fantastic food. Relaxed welcoming atmosphere. We really enjoyed our visit - thank you !

02/10/2026: I’m a regular customer and love everything served here. However, I’m absolutely crazy about the steak on the hot stone. Kudos to the chef and the entire team! 👏❤️

02/10/2026: It’s always great service, food is delicious I highly recommend this cosy place, never disappoints it’s perfect

13/10/2026: It was the worst food i have had in a very long time ,and i will not be going back

11/10/2026: Excellent customer service very time great coffee and cakes and food

11/06/2026: I am writing this review specifically because of one of your staff members Becca. Vibrant fun and full of energy - I have years of experience working in hospitality and also attending weddings and she is genuinely a super star and knows how to engage and have fun. Best of luck with everything and do not lose your shine! In terms of the venue I was blown away I fell in love with it, and within seconds knew we will be booking this venue for our big day I would say service was good, friendly and experienced. Again Becca stole the show - nothing worse than an NPC serving at a wedding and becca was the main character (bar the bride and groom) not a paid ad. Just seriously impressed.

10/06/2026: Fantastic area to visit amd amazing hotel to stay a long relaxing week or weekend. Would recommend to friends amd family who enjoy the best of what's to offer here.

26/10/2026: I was in the Huntsman a few times for food and it's a lovely place to get food in and it would be great if the pub got the pool tables back as I used to enjoy playing pool in the Huntsman when the Bar had pool tables in it and since covid-19 the pub has changed also as the bar and lounge doors on the road side haven't being opened since the restrictions ended as those doors used to be always open when the pub was trading business prior to the pandemic

14/09/2026: My first time here. We meet as it was our mother's anniversary. Food was poor. I'd do better myself. Lasagne my aunt had was rubber like it was reheated and burnt. My veggie option was tasteless. Only thing I ate was sweet potato fries. I wanted turkey dinner without ham. Can't eat ham as I have cancer. Was told no they came ready made with ham. Im afraid I wouldn't recommend it.

02/08/2026: My friend and I had dinner here last night and we'd highly recommend this place. The food and drink was of a very high quality and the service was excellent. There was a lovely atmosphere and the staff were so friendly.

01/08/2026: Food was unreal, got the sirloin steak, was cooked lovely, onions rings were perfect and the garlic fries were fab

11/10/2026: Excellent quality food, great variety and you get your value for money!

10/10/2026: Staff here couldn't be more helpful food is amazing

18/09/2026: Very warm welcome and excellent food. Thank you.

18/09/2026: Great find, the food was very good and the atmosphere was very pleasant. Highly recommended for takeout, especially if you're eating in.

29/09/2026: Cracker little cafe and gift shop. Food is of a decent quality and fair prices.

20/09/2026: Charming shop and cafe. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Wide selection of food and drink.
