Very mid experience. Service was inattentive, nice when she was there but only checked on us twice. Put in our order wrong and were served Veg version of our meal not the meat version. And - this may seem like a small thing - when I asked if they had Diet Coke, she said yes but it was Diet Pepsi (I know, you’re probably eye rolling, but I’m native to the South so it’s important to me and I’d rather have water). She never refilled our drinks even after I asked for water....

Had the corn beef hash, spuds were very nice and tasty, corn beef was cut in inch+ cubes, chewiest and most fatty piece of meat i have ever had to pay for , I wouldn’t recommend this item, coffee was good but served in small doses. Sausages and eggs were nice , pudding was burned , only half of 1 burned rasher. Bread was se through and only 1 small slice. Staff were nice

Hosted my Mom’s retirement party at The Burren yesterday and the staff and service were wonderful! They are easy going, communicative and very helpful in making the event go smoothly! The back room was a perfect spot for the event and a big shoutout to Sean who helped us with the party planning and worked the bar for us. He was awesome! Would highly recommend having an event there! ☘️
