Burger King
21/10/2026: Been here quite a few times now. The crispy chicken burger is properly crunchy and juicy, my go-to order. Lovely relaxed atmosphere too, clean and comfortable to sit and eat. Food comes out hot and fresh.
21/10/2026: Tried the plant-based Royale and the plant-based nuggets and was really impressed. The Royale is tasty and filling, and the nuggets are crispy with good flavour, you'd hardly miss the meat. Good option if you're vegetarian or just want something different.

The Royal Hotel
Bray
01/07/2026: AVOID. AVOID. AVOID. Look elsewhere.
If I could give NO STARs I would..
..deeply unsettling stay in Room 107. It is not a guest room!; it is an elite, endurance test designed to shatter your spirit and forge mental toughness.
The Cryogenic Solitude:
The management has thoughtfully curated a biting, sub-zero indoor climate. To ensure guests fully immerse themselves in the deep-freeze experience, they completely decommissioned our radiator and displayed it in the hallway like a modern art installation. The dampness is so absolute you don't just breathe the air—you wear it.
Elite Concierge Service:
The hotel staff have masterfully achieved a state of total, meditative silence by completely ignoring our requests. The room was never cleaned throughout our stay, bed-sheets dirty, no clean cups, no hoovering, no dusting, etc. ensuring our environment remained completely untouched by the burdens of modern civilization.
The DIY Engineering Challenge:
The shower drain was missing its primary filter mechanism, threatening an immediate, indoor flash flood. Luckily, we were able to save the entire wing from destruction by engineering a custom water-routing system using a teaspoon. It really brings a rustic, survivalist, Tom Hanks in Cast Away energy to your morning routine.
The Detention Special:
Navigating the older wing is a mental puzzle. The architecture is a genuine labyrinth, paying a homage to the site's 1920s history as a fortified wartime detention facility. It has held onto that exact violent, oppressive energy.
The Advanced Entertainment Package:
The in-room TV proudly offered a state-of-the-art "interactive grey screen" experience. It absolutely refused to show any channels, it could only be turned ''ON'' and ''OFF''.
If you decided to look out the window instead: The windows of the hotel room overlooked onto a graveyard..
The Culinary and Leisure Amenities:
The restaurant serves food so completely devoid of flavour.. Afterward, you can unwind in the swimming pool, which features a distinct, unmistakable toilet aroma and a floating biohazard that I can only describe as an uninvited, highly organic swimming companion.
In conclusion, this stay wasn't a vacation—it was a total, multi-level nightmare masquerading as a hotel booking.
The Royal Bray has achieved a spectacular masterclass in negative hospitality. Got no sleep throughout the stay.
I can never, in good conscience, recommend that a single living soul ever cross this threshold. Avoid this entire property at all costs, unless you have actively budgeted to pay actual money for a historical, dark and atmospheric hostage situation.

Indian Spice Company Newtown
Wicklow
23/09/2026: We recently hosted a family celebration with around 25 guests and Raj and his team completely blew us away!The food was beyond delicious.The Samosas were spot on and the Veg Manchurian and Chili Paneer were packed with flavor.Paired with fresh Garlic Naan and perfectly layered Lachha Paratha, along with the mango, tamarind, and green chutney dips and crispy papads, every single bite was a delight.Not only was the authentic taste and quality exceptional but the quantity was extremely generous there was more than enough for everyone to enjoy and go back for seconds.Most importantly, Raj stuck to every single promise and commitment he made, making the whole catering process seamless and stress free.Huge thanks and best wishes to Raj and his entire team!If you are looking for top notch authentic flavor, incredible quality and reliable service for your next event especially in south Dublin near D18/Bray/Wicklow, give them a shout. You won't regret it..I bet!
18/09/2026: I usually like the food but today I ordered saag and got curry instead. That's unacceptable. I still give 3 stars because the food always tastes good but I would like to get what I ordered.

Genuinely thought i found teeth in my burger at one point, convinced it was still alive
01/07/2026: The chips in Marsella's are delicious. Freshly cooked and a full bag.

Eastern Promise
Arklow
01/10/2026: One of the worst spice bags I’ve ever had. Dried out stringy chicken. Most of it ended up in the bin.
21/09/2026: Ordered honey beef ribs.When delivered i couldn't wait to eat. On opening the container the smell of burnt charred meat was terrible. Even the honey at the bottom of the tray tasted burnt. I called them back and said they were burnt. The young man on the phone offered to send out a new one which I thought was brilliant until I got a call back with a message from the chef to say thats how the honey ribs are.......look, im not just having a moan i know what's burnt and what's not. I have also had plenty honey ribs elswhere and from Eastern Promise before where they are succulent and fine. I refused them to send out a new one because if a chef has to call a customer back to say thats how they come (burnt) then I don't want you to send me another order. Your own people would not be happy with that meal. Rainbow Garden it shall be from now on.
Pleasant kid on the phone, bad chef in the kitchen

Lemon Tree
Blessington
05/09/2026: This take away is an absolute disgusting disgrace.
It used to be just ok, not much choice in Blessington, but its has gone to the dogs over the last year or so.
I did stop using it over the poor quality of the food for a while, and against my better judgment I decided to give it another go.
I collected a take away on my way home from work and I have to say the food was borderline inedible.
The final straw was when my wife discovered a long black hair in her food.
It was immediately put in the bin.
I returned to the restaurant at my first opportunity to raise the issue and was met with nothing but arrogance and hostility from staff that had absolutely no intention of dealing with this in a professional manner.
Despite the fact I had photos of the hair in the food, I was not believed and made to feel as if I was lying and trying some sort of scam.
All I wanted was a refund for my wife's meal.
The customer service in this place is as bad as the food, and I would strongly recommend you avoid it.
Having read some of the other reviews, it's apparent that this is not the first time human hair has ended up in people's food
I will be making a report to the food safety authority to highlight this issue and hopefully they will take the appropriate action.
15/08/2026: I got a Lemon Tree munchy box delivered to my mates house so both of us can share. It cost 25 euros which is quite steep for the quality of food that was served. The curry and barbecue sauces were actually decent in fairness, but they lacked flavour. The munchbox was a bit of a disaster though, due to the chicken balls having a slimy texture to them, which ain't normal for any chicken ball, as they should be somewhat crunchy. The chicken was processed too, as it felt like jelly in your mouth, which needs to be sorted. There was also a lack of seasoning, in which it made the food somewhat tasteless. The spring rolls and chips tasted what was expected, so no complaints about that, and the ribs tasted decent, as the meat was not hard as a brick. I gave the service and atmosphere 0 stars as I did not go into the restaurant and i was not the one collecting the delivery. Sort your food out and maybe you might get more customers in the future. Thanks.

Diep
Bray
26/10/2026: Delivery was fast but the rice looked and tasted awful. The chicken yellow curry just looked like a congealed yellow mess. It went straight in the bin and the only thing I had was the coke can. Everything else went in the bin and was a total waste of money. I used to live Diep but this is nothing like it.
25/10/2026: The food is WAY too expensive for what you get. Got it pretty quick. Also the food is pretty mid

06/06/2026: The food didn’t taste bad but it definitely didn’t taste like biryani and chicken butter.
Also it took them so long to deliver the food.

Baltinglass Golf Club
21/06/2026: Do not eat here. The vegetables were rock hard it’s gonna take me a week to digest and the Fish pie looks like it has been digested. It’s very overpriced I wouldn’t even serve this slop to a dog
21/05/2026: total scam - Got a voucher for a 4-ball - Tried to call multiple times and e-mailed them. Left messages each time I called and no response - Stay away
