But this local company, which uses only the best local produce, is much more than a cake maker and is into catering in a big way, both for private and corporate events. Canapés, cold meats, salads, sandwiches, casserole dishes, quiches and all those sweet bites are available along with a kids menu. You may collect at the Knockgriffin kitchens or they'll deliver to your party. http://www.bitesize.ie 021 4634100 Unit 6, Community Enterprise Centre, Knockgriffin, Midleton

"THE BEST FULL IRISH IN THE COUNTRY!!!!"…read more 5 Stars. Five. If I could give more I would. If you love breakfast, you need to take a trip to Midleton, Co Cork. At The Pantry, you'll be served what can only be described as The most serious contender for BEST FULL IRISH IN THE COUNTRY!!!! This is not something I take lightly. I have enjoyed far too many a Full Irish's up and down our fair island...and I'm not joking - SO MANY breakfasts. But never have been inspired to put my feelings about any meal in writing...nevermind post them online. Until now. I first wandered into The Pantry just over a year ago looking for a breakfast...we were met a smile and welcome from Gordon who runs the show. He was quick to find us a comfortable table with plenty space for our buggy (a high chair was available but we didn't need it) and to bring us some tea and coffee (both great by the way). We each ordered the Full Irish. Breakfasts are cooked to order and service is efficient and attentive. Food arrived in good time. Respectively, each item on each plate was cooked perfectly. Food was out of a frying pan and not a deep fryer. Each meal came with tea/coffee and toast...as it should do. We got to speak with Gordon after our meal. He told us about his experience running the The Pantry, about how they bake their own bread daily, about all the different local suppliers..for the sausages, for the bacon, for the pudding, etc. The Pantry is a bright and welcoming cafe/bistro serving a tempting variety of foods throughout the day. Go for a coffee and a cake of go for The BEST FULL IRISH you're ever likely to be served...go for the welcome alone...just go. FIVE STARS. 5! Following that, and in the interest of a fair and impartial review, I should mention the negatives: Each time I visit, I can't help but be reminded of the fact that I live 161 and a half miles away (260km)...and I can never help but think about how long it might be before I'll be able to get another breakfast here. That's me. That's my review. Cheers Gordo. You're the man.

The wrap was very nice and all the vegetables and chicken tasted fresh and flavoursome. The service wasn't the best and the staff could be a little more friendly but again considering how restrictive masks can be it was understandable. The staff also provided me with plant milk on request which was appreciated. I ate outside on the chairs and tables provided as they aren't allowing eating indoors. Overall very delicious lunch.

Outstanding service, excellent food. The restaurant is exquisite, the food and chef of the highest quality. We took our time and had multiple -- small -- courses, which is absolutely worth it. The menu changes, so I'll attach photos of what we had when we were there. But between the house itself and the chef, I highly recommend this for a special occasion dinner.

No TV in the rooms - fine by me. We loved the common seating areas, sunroom and the general feel of the place. Plenty of places on the ground for a morning or evening walk.

We also had dinner at the Ballymaloe's hotel and strongly recommend that.
