31/01/2026: Recently had a family meal for 18 people. Food was amazing. Everything was cooked to perfection and presentation was stunning. Karolis and Molly, our servers were fantastic. Very efficient, friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. I highly recommend the Creighton Hotel for any occasion I would give ten stars if they were available Ann O’Harte

23/01/2026: One of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a long time. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. Highly recommended!

15/01/2026: Just spent four nights at the Shirley Arms Hotel (Mon-Fri). From first contact (email query), the team have been fantastic 👏 The hotel is lovelly, and all of the team are super welcoming, friendly and helpful, but a special shout out to Aoibheann in the bar restaurant, who was super fantastic 👍 Food was lovelly, and by far my favorite was the Sizzler steak dish with creamy garlic potato gratin (see picture) 🫡 I should say, that I had already ate some, and cut the potatoes up, so the picture probably doesn't do the food full justice 🤔 Some people have commented (negatively) on the cost of the food, and yep - they are not the cheapest, but - and here's the thing, you get what you pay for, . . . For me, I received value for money, and wouldn't think twice about staying here again in the future 😎 Lots of onsite parking, great rooms and attentive housekeeping for the rooms, and if you have forgotten anything a 'Super Valu' supermarket next door, . . . . . . . Seriously, what's not to like 🙂

10/11/2025: Nice coffee ☕️ but no waggon wheels 😢

06/11/2025: Super spot. Great food, nice drinks, friendly service.

08/03/2026: Very tasty food. We were here 13 years ago and decided to come back after long time. And they didn't dissapoint. Food amazing, service perfect. Definetely worth coming back. Recommend for everyone who is even passing through Monaghan to stop there and enjoy tasty meal and lovely atmosphere.

22/02/2026: Thank you for the clean restaurant and the efficient system.

01/03/2026: Arrived at 6pm, took staff 10mins to show us our booked table. More delays with taking order, with food eventually coming at 7:20, leaving us in a rush to eat food (one course only) and pay before local engagement at 8pm. Waiter didn't seem to want to be there, very poor.

25/02/2026: I had Lunch twice here. Fantastic food at a very reasonable price. The waiters were very polite, smiling and professional. Highly recommended.

14/06/2025: Wishing David all the best, was passing through Monaghan twice a week in the 90’s heading to Cavan to see a young lady, was always told to get a supreme + a spicy tomato on the way through .Courting for 10 years…. cost me a fortune ! We’re married 26 years now, but anytime we’re heading up to Cavan, the wee treat was Pizza D’or GUTTED !!!!!!!!

30/05/2025: Just class the best pizza ever!

14/09/2025: We hired Seany to do the catering for our wedding, after a previous caterer had let us down. On short notice, he agreed to cater for us, and had absolutely no issues with our different dietary requirements. He did us a full vegetarian menu, and managed to find a fantastic organic mince substitute that was divine. We also had two coeliacs, and a few picky eaters, but everyone was catered for incredibly. My father is not a fan of halloumi, but I can confirm Seany's food is so good, he actually asked for three portions of the halloumi tacos! All guests said the food was some of the best wedding food they'd had. We would highly recommend Blasta Street Kitchen.

14/09/2025: I attended a wedding where blasta street kitchen catered, wow the food was amazing, staff were so friendly, the owner Seány was so friendly and it was so nice to hear there story and there passion for there business. It was a fully vegetarian menu and as a non veggie I couldn’t get over how amazing the food was, so tasty and full of flavour, I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough 10 out of 10

31/08/2025: Love this coffee shop the staff are so lovely I took my wee girl in after school the other day she even bought a few toys for herself. Hot chocolate latte and buns all gorgeous at a reasonable price. Girls couldn’t have done enough for us 😀 You can also pick up lovely cards and gifts in store they have gorgeous candles & creams. They stock a lovely face cream from Dublin herbalists which I bought and it’s really lovely 🥰 Beautiful place our new favorite ❤️ Thanks again girls I don’t review very often but We left so happy Friday it’s a credit to your team

01/06/2025: Really good coffee and the shop itself is so nice!

09/09/2025: Awesome is a gem in the heart of Carrickmacross, serving coffee from expert roaster (roasts coffee in house), delicious bakes and always a kids hot chocolate for the little ones. Staff are top class, in a town where there is no shortage of coffee shops, this one stands out.

20/08/2025: Great coffee and the staff is very accommodating! Highly recommend!

02/10/2025: Best pub in Clones! Open mic night is the best on Wednesday!

28/08/2025: Came in to Adamsons the day after our wedding with a large group. Fantastic service all day, we were able to order pizzas, wings and chips whenever we needed throughout the day and settle all at the end. Everything was so delicious and speedy out of the kitchen. We had a some vegans in our party who had good options too. Great atmosphere in the bar by the end of the Sunday night too. Ross and all the staff were very helpful and friendly throughout
