I used to be a frequent breakfast visitor to the Straffan tea rooms and four of us decided to…read morereturn today after a few months going to other venues. Today was not the same positive experience we used to enjoy. 1. I ordered the full Irish and asked for side of sweet potato (as shown on the vegetarian menu) instead of black pudding. The server said I can't have that. I didn't think I heard her correctly and asked if they have any potato. "Yes but you can only have it with the vegetarian breakfast as we have a limited supply." Never knew Ireland was short on spuds! 2. My friend has a sensitivity to egg yolks and asked for eggs with just whites. It couldn't happen as the chef can not separate (I'm not a chef but I can do this!) She then asked for the fried egg to be so well done that she could cut the yolk out. The eggs came nearly as runny as a poached egg. 3. We were offered a choice of white or brown toast with our breakfast. Later the server said that the white bread had not been cooked yet. We had to have homemade brown bread which is not the same with a full Irish breakfast. 4. We asked for jam for the brown bread. The server brought a mini side of jam that was barely enough for one piece of brown bread not the 8 slices at our table For the €13 breakfast (with coffees), we would expect a better experience like we get at Avoca's Egg Cafe

I popped in for breakfast with friends just before Christmas. Had a lovely poached egg with sausages (yummo - they source them from nearby Celbridge). The baked goods all looked gorgeous, and my son devoured his pastry without letting me try a bite! Staff was friendly and efficient, the prices were great, but mostly I'd recommend the Victorian Tea Rooms for the cosy atmosphere. Plus, the shopping at the Straffan Courtyard is not to be missed!

Whether you are just visiting the tea room and gardens/castle tour, or staying in the castle Airbnb rooms- it's a wonderful experience.

I have been a guest at Huntington for a collective 3 months now, and would highly recommend. If you come in the Spring, don't miss out on seeing the lambs!

The Molloys team were so kind, generous, and supportive of my situation and went well beyond my expectations to provide a beautiful and delicious catering arrangement for a family I care deeply about despite my great distance.

The sweets were a treat to both young and old. If you have the chance to visit them, do it often and tell them thanks from me.

I went here for breakfast and ordered their Irish Porridge with seasonal fruit, cream and toasted almonds along with a blueberry scone (can't visit a tart shop and not order a dessert). The porridge was huge. There was no way that I needed both the porridge and the scone but when in Dublin... It was creamy and had a great thick texture. The scone was light and fluffy and paired well with the butter and jam they give you. My only complaint was that I would have liked a larger cup of jam for my scone but only because it was so good! I would definitely go back and I highly recommend this place.

The restaurant is under a bright conservatory and the furnishing is delicate, ornate and farmy. All of the food is homemade on the premises and it tastes wholesome and flavoursome. The bree tartlets were light and tangy and the rhubarb pie was sweet and crumbly. Other dishes included soup, fish pie and beef in Guinness. The menu wasn't extensive but the options were all tasty and the atmosphere was relaxing, just as it should be in the middle of the Wicklow countryside.
