I went with a large group of friends last night 17.03.12 to The Grafton Hotel. It was an amazing night, I have never been here before but will without a doubt I will be back. The place was PACKED! Not a spare seat in any of the rooms, the bar staff were friendly and polite, the landlady made us feel so welcome when we walked in and showed us where our party was sat. It has to be one of the busiest pubs I've been in for a long time. The atmosphere was just fantastic. The band on was called Kick and Rush and were just the right entertainment for St Patrick's Day, they had the whole pub singing. If you haven't been here then please go, the landlady was very attentive asking if everything was ok, it just made you feel special and nothing was to much trouble for her. Absolutely amazing, the buffet was lovely too! She had even arranged for a photographer to come down and take photos and even arranged our taxis home, how many landladys would do that? Thanks Grafton for making our friends birthday go so smoothly we will be coming again. 5 stars is not enough read more
