I couldn't believe my luck when I saw he had one available on his website, I confirmed it, and I received a confirmation email immediately. The very next morning, just to be on the safe side, I rang him at like 5 to 9 in the morning, just to see if he got my order and that he received dates and times and whatever. He said I'll ring you back and a few moments later, he rang me back to confirm the booking and said that he would drop the night before as he is so busy for weekends. I actually couldn't believe my luck. My marquee was sorted. I could actually start planning for my 5th and final baby's Christening. I was over the moon. After looking at his Facebook, I found he seemed very reputable. He did Weddings and school events and everything so I was actually delighted. (In all my 29 years of life, this was the worst judgement I have ever made, in my life.) Fast forward a couple of weeks I sent him an email just to make sure he was on for the 25th. A little reminder I suppose. To which, no response. I said I'd give it a few days to hear back as I could only imagine how busy he was with everything going on this month. I sent him a message just trying to confirm also. Yet again. No response. I said right he's clearly very busy. I rang a few times, NOTHING. An absolute disgrace if I ever ever came across it in my life. I rang a couple more times, NOTHING. I sent another message. NOTHING!!!!! I rang off Shane's phone, no answer. Text him again. Nothing. How he sleeps at night is beyond me. Leaving so many people down seems to be his mission in life. Took it upon myself to go onto Google reviews and my God....... I have never ever ever been so absolutely shocked in all my days as to the carry on of him and his Business. Barry is what they call him. Mr. FOOL events is what he should really be called. If anyone knows whats good for them AVOID AVOID AVOID. AVOID THAT COWARD LIKE CORONAVIRUS.

We booked a bouncy castle for our 6 years old birthday months in advance. We confirmed the castle on the Wednesday before the Saturday party and then on the Friday night he cancelled, and somehow suggested it was our fault as when he rang to confirm the castle on Thursday we didn't answer (we only confirmed the day previous) I got lucky and managed to find a local man who could provide a castle for us. When I spoke to him on the phone, he asked was this Mr Cool who let you down and when I responded yes, he informed that he has had this type of phone call at least 20 times after Mr Cool cancelled, including from a bride who was let down for her wedding. Obviously this guy likes to double book and then on the day he'll take the jobs that are more convenient to him and who cares about crying children, brides on their big day, well obliviously his waste of space certainly doesn't. Avoid at all costs.

With all of the other food options in Dingle I suspect there were better choices.

It can get…read morequite crowded but in the evening the town clears out a bit and finding a spot to eat is a bit easier. We stopped at Harrington's Fish and Chips based upon a recommendation and were very pleased with our experience here. This spot looks rather casual compared to other restaurants in town. Upon entering, there is a bit of seating near the counter where you can review the menu and place your order. There are a multiple large booths in the back room, which was empty when we had arrived. We took a seat there after placing our order. When the food was ready they delivered our food to the table - an order of fish and chips, mussels and seafood chowder. The fish and chips were really good. The fish was fresh and the batter was crisp, not greasy and lightly salted. The chips were thick cut, super crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. The mushy peas and tartar sauce were fine. This was some of the best fish and chips I had in Ireland. The seafood chowder was hot and had a good balance between the seafood and creamy broth. The brown bread that came with the chowder was some of the best I had on this trip. The generous plate of mussels were plump, juicy and fresh. We had looked at a few other restaurants but were very happy we decided to give Harrington's a try. It may appear to be more casual and relaxed than the other restaurants in the area but it's definitely worth a try.

Purportedly, fishers dock right across the road and freshly caught seafood comes straight to this restaurant -- mere yards away from the water. When we rolled up, the queue to order was out the door and down the footpath. It took perhaps 15 minutes to just make our way to the till to place our orders for two fish and chips and a Heineken (desperately welcome, given the unseasonably hot weather we encountered). The seating situation is a bit chaotic; we staked out some standing room in the back room to swoop in on the first table that opened up. Good luck to those not cutthroat enough to seat themselves as soon as an opportunity presents itself. It took a bit of patience and hand-waving to flag down a server to clear the plates of the party that were sat before us, but eventually we succeeded. It took two separate servers two independent trips to rid ourselves of empty plates and glasses and secure a cursory wipe to the sticky table surface. Another ten minutes or so went by before our dishes arrived. I can attest that our fish seemed exceedingly fresh and just out of the fryer. It was flaky, steaming, and lightly battered. Totally believable that it had just come from across the street earlier that day. The chips, however, were disappointingly lukewarm and flaccid. No amount of salt and vinegar could help their case. Given the limited dining options in the immediate vicinity, I can see why Harrington's is so popular. I'm glad to have tried it, but wouldn't go out of my way to return.

The chef(s) should be very proud of this one. The wagyu burger sent me to another realm. The party must've had minced onion or seasoning mixed into the meat which gave flavor in every single bite. SERVICE Delightful and welcoming servers. They were on it with replenishing drinks and asking how everything was. AMBIANCE From the outside, the place appears very unassuming. It's nothing that will catch your eye, but if a local or guide is kind enough to tell you about this place, you're in for a treat. Inside, it's a small-to-medium pub experience but plenty of attention to the dining area. That's what you're there for. Cozy and intimate, and you're only an arm's reach away from the bar. They do not accept American Express, but all other cards. Highly recommend!

Another fantastic meal in Dingle!…read more The food at The Global Village Restaurant is nothing short of amazing! My sister and I did not think reservations were needed to dine here on a Monday during the off-season. (We were wrong!) Luckily, we were able to make reservations for our party of three on the following evening. We scheduled our dinner reservation at 5:30 pm so that we could take advantage of the early bird menu. The early bird menu is a steal! (Two courses for €28 or three courses for €32.) The restaurant was fairly empty when we first arrived so we were able to ask our waitress about the different dishes on the menu. I wasn't familiar with many of the seafood dishes on the menu so our waitress helped me choose a mild white fish from the selection. We started off our meal bottle of Prosecco from Global Village's impressive wine menu. For my first course I selected a trio of duck appetizers. My beautifully decorated plate included duck liver parfait, smoked duck breast, and rillette of confit leg with garden greens and spiced apple chutney. The appetizer was absolutely heavenly! For my second course I selected the pollock with duck fat potatoes, spinach, chorizo, and tarragon hollandaise. The fish was very mild and paired great with the potatoes, chorizo and hollandaise sauce. I selected French cream puffs filled with hazelnut praline cream, honeycomb, and aerated white chocolate and served with caramelized white chocolate ice cream and cocoa tuille. This dessert was absolutely heavenly! Would highly recommend reserving a table at The Global Village Restaurant if you are visiting Dingle, Ireland.

VERY poor service detracted from our evening…read more.... We visited with some local friends and were looking forward to dinner, but from the moment we walked into the restaurant the whole service experience was a let down. There was confusion as our booking had been recorded for 2, but it we had requested a table for four. The soul male waiter who proceeded to explain the situation did not handle the matter well, but we were assured that a table that could accommodate us would soon be available. When we eventually saw a table was laid up, we had been waiting outside, we walked back in to find the table lacked 2 chairs. A waitress indicated that she would bring two, but after 5 minutes two of our party were still standing, so we simply took two unoccupied chairs from an adjacent table. Could the staff not have done this? On this Saturday night they had a party of 15 ladies in celebrating an event, and as the evening progressed this booking caused the whole restaurant to become overwhelmed with noise, inefficient service and generally a poor level of customer care. We were left waiting for bread, and only got some when I got up and asked at the service counter, after our starters were served. I had to ask three times in total. One of the more mature waitresses did inform us that due to the large party our main courses would be a little delayed and she was alone in trying to handle the issue. Other staff members seemed over whelmed. We reflect that the restaurant should not have accepted our reservation after such a large party had been seated, as the kitchen was having an issue serving 14 main courses at once. This might be expected but for the first hour of our visit to the restaurant no one attempted to engage us with the problem. A complimentary glass of wine and a sorry might have changed our entire view of the situation. The food when it arrived was very good and we would happily recommend the chef. So would we return, yes...but we would question what other reservations the restaurant had accepted.
