03/08/2026: Exceptional service from start to finish. The food is delicious too and considering the high quality ingredients used it is very good value .

03/08/2026: Rude and unfriendly reception service

16/08/2026: Went in with family for dinner. It was busy for a Sunday afternoon at 420pm so I was expecting to wait. At 440pm I seen other people had come in just after us and had been given food withun 20 mins. Still waiting s I questioned the wait and told its on the way. At 455pm I went up again and asked and told it was on the way. I said we've been sitting there nearly 40 mins and no sign of the food yet. Not happy. She said it was only ordered 20 mins ago not 40 mins. In that case the first girl had forgot to put the order through. At 505pm I said this has to be sorted soon it's ridiculous. It came out 3 minutes later. There was no effort made to adjust the bill because of their negligence, couldn't even take a couple of cluh orange drinks off as a gesture of good well on their part. Was my first time there in a long time and I can say I'll never be back again. Because this used to always be a great pub back in the day. Shame to see it gone to the dogs. Very let down by the service. The only saving grace was the food was nice but it was not worth waiting nearly an hour for when it was their issue and they didn't want to accept responsibility. Would have been great otherwise. Shame. And would certainly not recommend.

12/08/2026: Cozy place to eat. The food was good, the drinks too.

21/07/2026: Very good and varied menu. Great staff. Gets very busy.

19/07/2026: Delicious and staff are always so kind!

05/08/2026: Great spot. Busy for a Wednesday night. Would definitely recommend.

01/08/2026: Quirky decorations, great vibe, wonderful food - for my last night in Ireland, it was a great send off!

11/08/2026: Hi. So I want to give a review if a meal we had recently. Burger was dry overcooked and tasteless. Wife beef cheek was succulent but the sauce was way over salted and overthick. The garlic potatoes were mushy not crispy and the garlic wasn't cooked through. It was bitter. Overall we were disappointed with the food quality. The desert in plant pot had nice elements but it doesn't work as a dish as the ice cream turns to a milkshake in the pot. Nice idea poorly executed. We hope they take on board this feedback as its coming from a constructive place.

10/08/2026: Had a lovely evening here last night with my parents and two kids. The food was fab, we had duck wings for starters, the kids had mini steak and pizza, we had the Portuguese chicken, the burger amd beef cheeks - all really decent sized portions and cooked perfectly! The kids loved it and my parents really enjoyed it too. A special shout out to our server Paulina, who was absolutely brilliant. So friendly, professional, attentive and just lovely throughout the evening. Honestly, she’s the main reason we wanted to leave a review — she was fantastic! We had a nice big round table upstairs, it was quite hot upstairs and more fans would have made it more comfortable in this heat, colouring pages and colours would have been a nice touch for the kids as they waited. The hew outdoor area looks great but it was raining so we couldn't enjoy it, but hopefully next time! We’ll definitely be back. Thanks again, especially to Paulina! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

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.

08/08/2026: It was really good to eat here.

31/07/2026: Being a few years since we were here and have to say the food was fantastic for the price, staff were very friendly, came over regularly checking if were ok. Highly recommend it.

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!

06/07/2026: A beautiful restaurant as part of the Headfort hotel in heart of kells , always a favourite of mine , excellent food and drinks and friendly service by top class staff , definitely worth a visit , Fiona looked after us very well along with her colleague , thank you

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

14/08/2026: It was my first time here and have to say it wasnt great the lady serving us was nice but we had to ask about one of our foods because we didnt get it the food was okay nothing special. We orderd desert afterwards and the waffles where cold and we were also charged the same price for waffles with everything on it and then a plain waffle with just syrup not sure if that what usaly hapoens so we didnt ask about it but we where over charged for a diffrent dessert which they did pay us back for. We also asked 2 diffrent staff on 2 diffrent occasions for the bill but we didnt end up getting it we wouldn't mind going up to get it we just thought it was going to be brought down since they both said they would. We wernt the only people who had issues The custmers beside us where wating for the cutlery for awhile while there food was gping cold another custmer didnt get there coffee and over heard a diffrent custmer saying there tea was cold. also the cups we got for are tea where dirty we also seen somonne else aking for a new tea cup for the same reason. It just really wasn't worth it i thought it might just be there haveing a bad day but I was told it wasn't the first time somone had that experience.

13/08/2026: The gift shop is fantastic. As this was the first stop on our trip, we didn’t want to spend our entire souvenir budget right away. But boy do I regret that! No other gift shop could hold a candle to the wonderful things on offer here. We bought a handmade leather bound notebook and a book on Celtic magic and goddesses. They had beautiful local crafts, woolen items, pottery, artwork, jewellery, and a large selection of books for young and old. They even had magic wands! We also visited the cafe, it was nice and had a good selection of food. We went for veggie hash and hot chocolates.

10/07/2026: Food is excellent, severed 7 days a week.

19/06/2026: Nice circus show by Tom Duffy' circus

10/05/2026: Bad experience. I asked for my meal with gravy on the side. It came smothered in gravy. It had to be sent back. My partner was half way through his meal before i had mine returned

07/04/2026: Always excellent food served here.

08/08/2026: We visited this place unexpectedly and were truly impressed. The calamari was incredibly fresh — the best we’ve ever had. The barbecue ribs were perfectly cooked, tender, and falling off the bone, melting in your mouth with every bite. The quality of the food really stood out. Definitely worth a visit — highly recommended! 👍🏻

24/05/2026: Lovly place for a meal. Good menu options. Very traditional puby
