20/02/2025: Beautiful Fine Dining in The Thatch, Staff & Management so friendly, polite and efficient. Food was amazing, ambience perfect. The staff went the extra mile to dim lights when dessert was served with candles for birthdays and all sang Happy Birthday. Thanks so much Des & Team. We'll be back

16/02/2025: Busy place, little café, they serve nice food, nicely decorated,you can pretty much buy every decoration you see on display. They have freshly made cakes too.

09/03/2025: Our family had the pleasure of taking a guided tour of Birr Castle as part of the special events for Astronomy Week in Ireland. It was an incredible experience—both inspiring and deeply informative. Seeing the Leviathan and the modern radio telescopes up close was truly impressive, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past and present of astronomical discoveries. As mathematicians and a physicist, we especially appreciated the passion and expertise of our guide, who brought history and science to life with a vivid and engaging narrative. Their enthusiasm and deep knowledge made the experience even more memorable. Birr Castle is a must-visit for anyone interested in science, history, or simply breathtaking surroundings. Highly recommended!

09/02/2025: V friendly staff and nice food.

02/10/2024: Recently moved to Birr and have found this to be the best pizza by far. I was in to pick up our pizzas for what was maybe our 4th order in two months. I dropped one while walking out and they replaced it without charge right away. Unquestionably excellent service on top of epic pizzas. Unreservedly recommended.

29/08/2024: We were told so many good things about their pizza we absolutely had to check it out! We had some questions, which were all answered, and that was a big help because we weren’t sure what to order. So we got a surprise pizza and it was amazing! The dough was just perfect, and it took less than 10 minutes. Definitely recommend!

30/12/2024: Always and consistently good sandwiches

10/10/2024: This is such a beautiful spot. We walked down from the square and glad we passed the other few cafes on the way down. It was busy which is always a good sign. We ordered some breakfast paninis, Tea and a Latte. Portions were enough to satisfy and the taste was divine. Lovely atmosphere with more to the cafe then the front room. Great value for the quality of the food and service. If you're in Birr pop in you won't be disappointed. Had to buy some cake and Gluten free buns before we left. Couldn't resist...
