For service, they were friendly and attentive, which was appreciated (with the exception of trying to pay, which did take a little bit to do since we weren't told the restaurant requires paying at the bar). There is also a decent sized parking lot and live music on the weekends (though we were not there for the music).

Restaurant is above the pub. Food is pretty good although the night I was there they didn't have my 1st 2 choices of main course available (although we were about the only peoplein there) so I had to pick something that I propbably wouldn't normally go for - it was very nice all the same.

The liver was a little over cooked, same with the beef for the beef in the beef & Guinness pie. Fish was perfect. The only housefly we have run into while in Ireland was here. Kind of a surprise. All that said I do recommend the place. The portions were large, the food (like all of Ireland) was served hot (I mean HOT) to the table, unlike many places in the US. Hot chocolate Sunday with vanilla ice turns out to be a hot chocolate cake with a serving of French vanilla ice cream covered in hot chocolate sauce, devoured immediately upon hitting the table.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!…read more Well myself and my partner decided to try the grouse tonight with my parents since we had heard good reviews about the new chef. Sadly it was the worst decision I've made in a good long while. Simply put it was awful, we ordered 3 steaks two medium and one medium to well. Well the chef seems to only know how to cook well done as that's what all the steaks were cooked to. I sent mine back but my parents were content to eat it. Well I waited a further 20 mins for a new steak so we aren't off to a good start. Then all of our sides were forgotten about and it took a further 10 mins for them to come out, my veg couldn't fit in the bowl and the broccoli ended up mopping all the lovely germs off the table (for that extra flavour). My mother's salad was wilted beyond belief and looked like a bowl of mush and my partners garlic bread was completely forgotten about. As I waited 20 mins for my new steak to come out and it was well done again so I took one bite and couldn't eat it and my side was cold anyway so I finished my meal there I asked to speak to a manager/supervisor and was told the supervisor would be right over. I got a normal member of staff as they don't have a manager at all and their supervisors are all off. So I asked if the chef was in and to no ones surprise he was off too. So it seems that no one past a waiter/chef works here. All in all it was one of the worst experiences I've ever had in a restaurant. 3 meals,2 starters and 3 drinks cost me £75( my steak and sides were taken off the bill) At least dick Turpin wore a mask when he robbed people!. I cannot come back and I cannot recommend the grouse to anyone. Ive includes pictures below of my broccoli mop and wilted salad

The Countryman will not win any fine dining awards in my lifetime but it does do tasty plainish food in generous portions. The menu is very much of the chicken Maryland style which helps to explain that it ain't modern fusion type cooking. Instead their strength is in unpretentious filling steaks and chicken dishes, with some fish, although it's battered and comes with chips and peas. I normally have chicken gougons which come ungarnished and with a separate little bowl of sweet chilli sauce and garlic mayo. Freshly cooked and tasty and sometimes that's exactly what you want. Service is very family friendly and full of good old fashioned courtesy which I think is great. The staff behave as if you are doing them a favour by eating there rather than the reverse attitude you get elsewhere. The Countryman is good for family outings and groups as it's big and spacious and has plenty of pace to wall about with fractious babies and toddlers. Been there and done that.
