Namo
Kilkenny
20/12/2025: Some spoofer gave me the wrong toppings, absolutely decimated any chance of ever returning, then he had the audacity to drop and shake the living hell out of my 7up and tried serving me it, hehehe I remember my first job too. Unacceptable >:(, another worker was shouting obscenity such as the R word which did offend my autistic brother
11/12/2025: Very nice burrito, portion big enough for 2 people

The Field
Kilkenny
13/05/2026: We had a lovely evening listening to a talented man playing irish tunes on a Monday night. The bar man was very friendly, there was a great selection of drinks and the atmosphere was fantastic with everyone joining in singing and all so friendly. If you are looking for an evening with a bit of Irish charm then I highly recommend taking a look.
30/04/2026: Popped in on Tuesday night one man band playing he got the small crowd going singing and dancing. The bartender was friendly as we're the locals lovely spot and will definitely call in again next time we are in Kilkenny.

The Duiske Inn
Graiguenamanagh-tinnahinch
24/03/2026: Food is shocking…… service depends on who’s working… a couple of staff are absolutely brilliant but there’s others there don’t even know they are born yet!!! And make sure to check your bill. You could be charged for stuff you don’t ask for. You be better off going hungry. The town needs a proper restaurant more than anything.
03/03/2026: Lovely restaurant in Graiguenmanagh, it has great staff and the menu has a good variety.
Some seating outside and music most weekends. Definitely not one to miss when your out and about walking, or staying in the near campervan hub, Its your perfect place for breakfast lunch or dinner

28/11/2025: I had a cesar wrap which was full and very tasty, served with about 8 crisps and tea. My friend had soup which was lovely and hot but a fresh chip, very obvious on a pink bowl..this is NOT ok. We said nothing as didn't see it until nearly finished our food. Staff lovely and not intrusive.
