The Beeches - Clonmel

After a long night shift, I woke up with a strong craving for breakfast and decided to try a new spot. We got there around 11, right in the middle of breakfast service. Even though we weren't regulars, the chef answered our call and graciously offered to prepare an early breakfast for us, despite us being a bit late. The restaurant had a lovely and cozy vibe, and the two waitstaff members were incredibly friendly. Our breakfast was served quickly, and it was fresh, hearty, and totally satisfying. A big thank you to the staff and chef for their warm hospitality, outstanding service, and a truly fantastic breakfast.

We ordered toasted specials—one came with salad and the other with chips. Unfortunately, this is where the experience took a downturn. The sandwiches were just okay; basic and nothing spectacular. The salad that accompanied one of the sandwiches was great with generous portions, but the portion of chips was quite small and definitely not worth the price. When the bill arrived, it totaled almost £XX for the two of us, which felt overly expensive for what we received, especially in comparison to other places we've been. The tap water provided tasted awful, even the small orange slices couldn’t help mask it. While there were drinks available for purchase, the free water was a letdown. The condiments were also lacking, likely due to being out of sachets because of COVID precautions. The overall appearance of the restaurant seemed a bit tired and in need of a refresh, particularly the outdoor area, which felt more like a storage space than a dining environment. Given the high prices, I believe the restaurant should invest in some improvements. While the staff were lovely, the prices do not match the quality and value of the food. There are better options for lunch elsewhere.

This isn't a Michelin star restaurant and they are not trying to be that either but, this place really serves it's purpose well. It's a thriving restaurant and deservedly so. Group of us met up and we all sampled various different items on offer. From...carvery lunches to salads to desserts, teas and coffees a complaint wasn't to be heard for any. Good, decent, tasty food not trying to be anything more than just that.

We visited this restaurant today for lunch with our family. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, which really made the experience. The restaurant was busy but efficient. The food was all delicious and the portions were generous. They will need to continue to maintain this high standard as there is strong competition in the area. We will definitely be returning, as the prices are reasonable and the staff are friendly. What more could you ask for?

The Carvery Dinner at the Beeches Restaurant are the best you can get in town, well cooked, huge portions served by friendly staff. It never seems to fail and gets a constant return cliental, nice for a browse around in the garden center too. !!
