Atrocious To be…read moreclear this is my 3rd visit. 1st was bad 2nd was fine 3rd was the last. Took a spin up today as I've been told the hotel is actually great after getting pretty poor food on 2 other occasions so I said 3rd time is the charm and took a drive up from Clonmel. Arrived to a packed car park which was encouraging. Had to wait a few minutes but since it was Sunday was to be expected. We were seated by the waitress who pointed at the table and said "you can sit there". No hello no how are you. Nowt. We had just sat down and were reading the menu when another waiter appeared to take our order so we both ordered a soup and a roast beef. Our soups arrived and it was fine I suppose you could most certainly describe it as soup. Bit bland but soup nonetheless. The "brown scone" that came with the soup was a very hard roll which could cause serious injury if thrown. It was OK, I finished it. Another waitress took our bowls and we waited nearly 15 minutes and no sign of our main courses so I put up my hand and called over the 1st waitress and asked her when was the story with our mains and I received a reply of they are on the way with a how dare you tone. I was taken aback this rude girl (black rimmed glasses with tied up hair) who just walked away and feigned cleaning a table. Eventually my main course arrived. Cold. Well presented but cold. State of the Yorkshire pudding. So I call over my 4th server and told her my food was cold and she takes it back. She did say sorry so she's already ahead on points on the previous mentioned rude bespectacled waitress. Anyway, the waitress returns with my new lunch......no knife or fork, had to call another (5th) waitress over to get cutlery. Finally I have all the gear I have the food and it warm....sorted.....right?........WRONG Terrible. The veg may as well come from a fozen bag. Mashed spuds weren't cooked enough and whoever mashed them tried to mask this with cream and no seasoning. The beef was mostly fat and the beef itself was bleh. My father went and paid for this fiasco under the guise of going to the bar. I put the large amount of fat into a napkin and asked another waiter (6th) to speak to the supervisor or manager about it and he arrived quickly. Got a refund but he wasn't overly keen in hearing about my experience. So 7 staff members later and 2.crap lunches(3 if you count my dads but he isnt one for complaining) and you leave horse and jockey hungry and annoyed. Won't.ever in my life go back

I live just down the road from here so this is a place I've frequented all my life…read more I've always found the service to be excellent and the staff very friendly and obliging. This is a common stop for commuters on the Cork-Dublin route. You can opt to eat in the cosy bar where they usually have a warm fire blazing in the Winter time, or you can opt to eat in the more formal restaurant section. Both offer the same great menu! Certain items might be considered a little bit pricey but overall very reasonable.

Really delicious food, good service and good value! Not sure why this place doesn't have any…read moreentries on Yelp yet, but it's definitely worth trying out! Note: If you happen to be in there on a day where they offer "tapas", don't order too many as their portion sizes is way above the average of usual tapas places.
