15/03/2026: Joel was a great steward for the pub seafood chowder was fabulous. Returned a number of times.

08/03/2026: Had a beautiful stay with my partner this weekend. We were let down by another booking and were in quick need of somewhere to stay.

Will definitely be back can’t recommend them highly enough there

17/02/2026: Beautiful food. Excellent service.

31/03/2026: My family and I like to go out and find small places with good food here and there as a treat, and this is one of our all-time favourites to come back to. The food is fresh and high quality. I especially love their kebabs and pizzas, and the pakora chicken is to die for. The menu is also quite sizable and varied so you'll find always something new to try out, or something to suit everyone. The staff is always polite and friendly, helped us out if we werent sure about something on the menu, and they're very quick about orders. Highly recommended!!

21/11/2025: Just ordered and received a most beautiful takeaway, Thanks..

31/12/2025: We dined here on new years eve as part of the supper club. There was a 7 course meal, each one well crafted with artsy flavour and garnish. The service and atmosphere were fluid, everything exceeded our expectations. Excellent!!! Thanks Ash, Julien and Lekker team.

09/11/2025: I went here for the first time on Friday and wow I wasn't disappointed. I got the build your own breakfast, excellent value for money the mushrooms were absolutely amazing. There was a great selection for breakfast, The staff were very friendly staff I will definitely be returning again.

25/11/2025: Very bad behaviour one who make the pizza

05/10/2025: Got the chicken donor kebab box. Unbelievable. Will be coming back. Highly recommend.

19/12/2025: Best coffee in Kilkenny, best food too! I love their seasonal ginger bread people, so cute and fun to call them a gingerbread person and they're delicious! The staff are so nice as well!

18/12/2025: Can someone explain to me what a gingerbread person is on the menu?? Is the lady that runs it called a personager? Fantastic food but come on now there is no need for that sillyness.

12/05/2026: We had a wonderful night here as part of a tour of Southern Ireland. Communications with the hotel were good and check in nice and easy. As our rooms were ready they allowed us to check in early. The hotel is situated just outside the main area but within easy walking g distance. The rooms were ok and perfectly adequate at the price. Breakfast was really nice with plenty of choice including of course a full Irish. I would have no problem recommitting the hotel for others

12/05/2026: Excellent one-night stay! Great location, top-notch service, and a very pleasant room. The all-you-can-eat breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice. I highly recommend it.

28/11/2025: Good food, coffee good too and pleasant staff.

17/11/2025: We arrived on Saturday on our way from a wedding, the café was just closing but the ladies looked after us with some lovely freshly made sandwiches and pots of tea, that fitted the bill nicely. Very tasty and reasonably priced.

19/02/2026: Great place to sit back and sip the night away. Great whisky and Great service.

08/11/2025: The singer was great he got through 6 songs while I waited at the half empty bar . Shocking service

11/03/2026: Beautiful food and great service

08/02/2026: We order from here regularly. It’s so hit and miss. This evening my pizza was undercooked with way too much cheese and then no flavour. Very disappointing

12/05/2026: Small cafe with delicious food and cakes. The staff are super friendly!

03/04/2026: Great breakfast and super cute cafe! Definitely worth a visit.

17/10/2025: Definitely the best breakfast spot in town. The lady who runs the shop is super friendly! We enjoyed a *delicious* breakfast at the riverside!

06/10/2025: Amazing flavors and great service, definitely recommended

14/04/2025: The perfect place for a lunchtime snack. The dishes are limited, but they're really good and well-prepared. They don't have many tables, and there may be lines outside.

12/04/2025: The butternut squash curry was delicious and the service was really good, great atmosphere, good price. Will definitely return.

09/04/2026: Another great stay in The Newpark Hotel. Our daughters love this place - with so many attractions you hardly ever need to leave the grounds. Willy Wonka experience was great. Staff very nice as always. Would definitely recommend to any family as a gate-away not only for kids but adults/parents as well as kids are very well looked after so parents can actually have some time to relax (not that easy to come by these days)

06/04/2026: I found the food a bit pricey, but I was very happy with the rooms and service. Kind of wish the pool had a bigger area for kids as well, but the Dino park more than made up for it.

04/10/2025: Top class little pub very friendof locals

15/07/2025: Cosy, Good Guinness, will be back.
