Excellent discovery in Birr. Cosy place with amazing food and nice and helpful staff. A must if looking for a perfect dinner un the area.

We we're passing on a trip out for the day and decided to call in for a meal. Phoned ahead before entering and staff were friendly and gave us the go ahead to come and dine. We were not dissapointed. All you hear positively about the food is true. Was wholesome well presented and plentiful. Staff although busy made sure we were well taken care of. The warm homely atmosphere within a place displaying a lot of history was and will be remembered. A return visit is definitely on the cards.

C. D.

Thank you for a lovely evening, we enjoyed the food, wine & after dinner drinks. The staff were friendly & attentive & the service was excellent. We had a lovely chat with the host about the beautiful Thatch which is full of atmosphere & charm. Many thanks & good wishes, Frances (Dublin).

Stopped off here for a meal while travelling back from the north west. We Googled places to eat in Birr and this pub and restaurant came out tops. It was a little hard to find but that it made it all the better. When we arrived the staff were very friendly and efficient and couldn't be more helpful. As one of our party was vegetarian, we had to ask for an omelette which was not on the menu. It was made for us without any bother and it arrived in double quick time as did the other meal. All the food was top class and the staff were very attentive. Overall a great experience and great food. As it was outdoor dining, we would have loved to sample the dessert menu, but there was thunder, lightening and heavy rain in the area just as we finished our meal. We had to run to our car for cover. We will be back to try the full course shortly.

J. P. H.

Top quality food and good size portions, highly recommended!!

An absolute diamond in the rough! Gem of a place. 200 + years old if I remember (maybe it’s more) excellent and friendly staff, food was really good! Great atmosphere. Call ahead and book so you get a spot. Very cosy!

D. G.

Great experience. Staff fantastic. courteous, professional, kind, helpful and excellent. Owner Des. spoke to everyone and made them feel welcome. Food and service was of the most excellent quality. Great to come back to the Thatch.. after a long assence. This resteraunt is a jewel in the Crown of County Offaly. If you haven't visited this establishment yet ,do it as soon as you can and enjoy the experience. You won't regret it.

Such a little gem of a place. Cosy, good food, staff very friendly, couldn't recommend the place more! Defo worth a visit, special thanks to stephanie, she is a wonderful person. Thanks guys

A satellite village of Birr, Crinkle is just off the N62 and is home of the 200 year old Thatch Bar & Restaurant. A great place for a hot toddy by the fire. Free parking is available at the back of the premises and a few spots at the front. Servers were fast and courteous Coffee machine was broken so ordered tea for two. Lunch menu was good ordered Bacon & Cabbage which was disappointing, large serving but on the cooler side. We weren't charged for those meals. They also offer dinner after 7pm

d. l.

Our family had an amazing meal last Friday the 1st of October for our mum's birthday and it was absolutely amazing. Service and the food was out of this world.

j.

P. T.

Excellent service and top quality food for take away during these tough times. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend this restaurant when things get back to normal

N. H.

Ta bles too near not 2 meters apart 5 of us at small table

M. D.

Very cozy yet reassuringly sanitary, all staff very covid compliant and some of the most polite staff I have every experienced. Drinks were wonderful although the guiness was a tad on the pricey side at 4.70 for a pint, however it was definitely worth it and the gin came well presented. Food was 10/10, the salmon was absolutley perfect with a lovely butter and lemon sauce, served with lovley mash and veg, the beef burger had a lovley beef taste and the chips were soft and crunchy served with a lovley fresh salad. Selection of food was also great especially the desserts which were decent. Overall a great experience and would definitely go again.

K. F.

Lovely and cosy. Staff were excellent and their attention to detail was very good. I had Prawn Fajitas which were lovely. We were a table of 7 with no reservation. No delays on getting served. Definitely worth a visit if you are around the area. Highly recommend and will visit again. Live approx 1 hr away but will return

J. T.

This is a quaint pub and restaurant. Won numerous awards and you can see why. Spotlessly clean, roomy and well laid out. Service is excellent with plenty of polite friendly staff. The food is varied but mostly traditional. Always delicious with generous portions. Well worth leaving room for one of the great choice of Desserts. On the outskirts of Birr and you will probably need to reserve a table but worth it.

S. B.

Second time this week..good food good service..well worth a visit x

M. K.

Was there for a family get together and birthday. Lovely menu prepared. From starters to mains to dessert. It was lovely. Staff very helpfull and friendly, and their knowledge of the menu 5*. Could not recommend enough. Keep it up, and happy Christmas 🎅

C. E.

Pleasant pub and restaurant, the staff and owner were great craic. We were late to our table but they were very accommodating after we called ahead. Food was tasty and were served promptly. Good value for duck, crab claws, prawns and steak, so much side vegetables we couldn't eat it all. Great spot to have a few drinks after with a real fire.

j. R.

Food and service excellent. Definitely recommend.

E. C.

Randomly stopped into this place and it was one of the best dining experience I have had in a long time. Stephanie who was serving us was amazing. The vegan dish was the best vegan food I have had in Ireland outside of a vegan establishments. Would highly recommend it to all.

M. G.

Lovely local bar and restaurant Friendly and accommodating staff. The food is amazing. A small down side the reason for 3 stars is I ordered a steak medium/rare and it arrived out almost well done

C. C.

A party of 12 was booked for 1pm. We received a very warm welcome from the staff. Steph with her amazing personality gave us her full attention when ordering from the menu. Food excellent & deserts amazing. Would recommend the Thatch.

T. B.

Called at this lovely friendly pub for a drink last week after visiting Birr, we decided to have our dinner there, what a fantastic decision, the food was excellent quality and plenty of it, brilliant service too. We would highly recommend it and will definitely return when we are back in Ireland. well worth the visit.

P. C.

Very authentic and cool restaurant. Loved the thatch look. It was out of the main part of town so parking was good. Leg of lamb was tasty. Staff was nice and friendly. We went during the day so they weren't too busy.

H. T.

Delicious food, lots of vegetarian and fish options. The waiting staff were welcoming and extremely knowledgeable about the menu. A fabulous atmosphere and cosy surroundings. Nothing too much trouble. Definately worth a visit

A. M.

There for dinner as part of a Bridal Shower, amazing choice on the set menu; personalised menus were a lovely touch and staff and atmosphere very lovely and welcoming. Highly recommend.

b. d.

Beautiful food and great service

C. M.

Lovely place I had to give 5 stars as they let us eat a home made cake for a welcome home gathering they cut it and plated it which I wasn't to sure whether they would have let that or not but considering we did have more than 12 people all order dinners and coffee it was fair. The owner is very nice and helpful they will do anything for you all round Nice people there and good food

M. K.

The food was gorgeous and the service was excellent!

J. E.

Lovely food, with very generous portions. I am a vegan and they made me a delicious curry, even though it was not on the menu. Staff were excellent too.

The Thatch is a real gem in Birr. It's lovely thatch roof building provides a wonderful atmosphere for anyone lucky enough to call by. We regularly recommend that guests of weddings have meals there around their wedding as it is a super spot to catch up with friends and family over a lovely meal.

We walked in for dinner after arriving from the States earlier that day. Jet-lagged and starving we were asked if we had reservations. The owner sensed we had none and on a very lively Thursday night made sure to find us a table. Both the meal and the service were over the top. Definitely satisfying and worth it.

If you go to Birr, don't miss a short trip up the road to The Thatch at Crinkle. You will get the warmest of welcome and beef or steak that melts in the mouth. The Thatch is worth going out if your way for.
