15/03/2025: One of the best places to eat in this beautiful town!!

02/04/2025: This was possibly the worst sandwich I have ever had, I asked for chicken salad sandwich with no tomato, I got soggy bread, that had obviously had tomato picked out, but not before the juice and seeds had soaked into the break, little bit of lettuce and sad chicken also soaked in tomato, my partners food was no better, very disappointing

26/03/2025: What an amazing find. Was recommended by friends and did not disappoint. GREAT service and food .. had phenomenal breakfast

13/03/2025: Brackens bar was like a step back in time and, I mean that in the nicest possible way. It's an old school pub, a real gem. Lovely spot with a great atmosphere. Staff were welcoming and friendly and the service was great!

08/03/2025: Class food, even better guinness.

21/02/2025: We had the bridal suite as an upgrade and it was fantastic room 102. Breakfast was delicious and the overall experience was excellent. Super friendly staff

19/02/2025: Staff in the carvery are clueless, I ordered my meal and asked for some chips on the plate with my meal. My son was ordering too and I didn't realise the girl had forgotten to add them. I noticed she forgot the chips just as I sat down, I immediately returned to make her aware of her mistake. All I wanted was a small handful of chips. She gave them to me but said I would have to pay as I didn't get them with my dinner. So I went to the till to explain the mistake to a more senior staff member. When I spoke to an older more senior lady at the till she just said, Oh sorry about that, now that's going to be €4 I just paid for their mistake rather than causing an argument. But I'll never return because of this. Carvery food was disgusting also lots of cross contamination among dishes and poor food safety standards. DO NOT RECOMMEND

03/04/2025: The food was amazing, the owners warm and welcoming. The place was full of happy people and the atmosphere was great. I would highly recommend a meal here, and if you are gluten intolerant they have that covered, my partner was so delighted. A big 10 out of 10.

28/03/2025: Great pub with amazing food, the team are warm and welcoming! I will be back for The Wings alone! They are incredible!!!

05/04/2025: Fantastic food offered by fantastic people as usual. I've dined here for years and every single time without fail the food and service has been consistently excellent no matter what the occasion or order.

13/03/2025: An amazing place to hang out with friends , can enjoy time playing pool table , they have a summer only pizza place , great ambience , a recommended place and will visit again for the pizzas

12/04/2025: Food was lovely, however service was not so good. There was one waitress in particular (old woman blond hair no glasses) very bad attitude, we received our food and there was scallions all over the rice which I asked can I get some new rice her reply was "the kitchen is too busy can you just scrape them off ? " also when we were leaving I asked for the the bill and the same waitress gave such a dirty look and said "you can pay on your way out " I've never experienced such bad attitude from a waitress. Whatever negativity she has going on in her own life should not be reflected in her workplace where people are spending their hard earned money trying to enjoy themselves and have a meal with their family. I'd like to clarify there was another older waitress with blond hair and wore glasses that we had no issues with at all pitty the staff did not have name badges on. I would never want such a person representing my establishment

17/03/2025: Starter - Deep Fried Brie. Pieces were too big and had cooled and congealed before being served. They also left the skin on the brie which was not good for such large pieces. Main - Fired Cod and Chips Batter was soggy and fish was under done. Looked a death gray instead of a crisp white. The salad was made of the core of a lettuce that started to look gone off. No tatar sauce. Coleslaw was good. Chips were good too. Desert - didn't order appetite was spoiled by the gray Cod. Service. Not great. They barely keep us with water in hodgepodge of random glasses. Hat to scaveng for cutting between before starter as no new ones were give. Other at my table. One had a medium well stake served medium rare and one had peas missing from a Cod main. Atmosphere- nothing special.

05/04/2025: Great food, as always. Usual salads were missing sadly, but the falafel salad was excellent. My friend had a stir fry, which was fresh and very tasty. Chips also lovely. I'll be back.

02/04/2025: The place was easily accessed off the main road. It had great food, very fast service and was friendly. Also attached is a large shopping area for anything tea related, fashion, and home design. Worth the stop, for certain!

07/02/2025: Nice atmosphere and delicious food. Everything we ate was fantastic and the service is very good, they are attentive, polite and friendly.

30/12/2024: We ended up here by chance at Lunch. The food is tasty and fresh. The only thing is that the fish could have been cooked a bit better, which is why we gave it one star. Location is a plus.

22/02/2025: Lovely evening, great food and great service. Highly recommended. Pat was attentive, and helpful throughout. For Starters we both had Goat cheese and onion tarts. Delicious. Butternut squash risotto was beautifully cooked and delicious, as was Beef cheeks. Desserts also fabulous, apple crumble and also Pavlova. Service throughout was exceptional. We will book here again for sure if we return.

01/12/2024: We had a family lunch for 14 people for a birthday & anniversary celebration. The restaurant manager Pat could not do enough for us. He was so welcoming, personable and fantastic with all the kids. The food was delicious and so reasonably priced. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon and making the occasion so special. I’m looking forward to my next meal there. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

07/01/2025: Went for Christmas dinner with my husband's work colleagues ,there was about 30 of us. The food was excellent, service was excellent and staff friendly, courteous and obliging.

23/11/2024: The service was fantastic, the staff is very accommodating. We had a room to ourselves with three tables. Everything was served together, and all special requests were made. The food, as always was very good. Thank you for a great night.
