    Fantastic evening, not our first visit and will be back again. Tasting menu was varied and kitchen happy to make some substitutes for those that didn't want fish or had allergies. Staff really welcoming and made our night feel special as we celebrated a birthday. Thank you to the team at Bramley!

    Our experience was wonderful in every way. This is a special place, made so by the chef, his wife and the staff. We liked it so much we went back the next day.

    We had a lovely lunch, my venison was delicious and my friends enjoyed their beef dish. The staff were very friendly and accommodated a late change in our reservation. Decor is very pleasant and the bathroom was spotlessly clean.

    Excellent food, great value for money. Attentive service. Lunch menu excellent value for money. Fish of the day delicious. Two ideas to consider a) Temperature of room was a little cool during lunch, I wore my outdoor coat during lunch. b) For the person not having a started perhaps you could consider offering a taste of the soup of the day or another type of 'amuse bouche'. This would totally wow the client with this very powerful gesture and ensure they returned again. We will be back soon & spread the word about this hidden gem in the beautiful village of Abbeyleix. Well done to the entire team. Keep up the great work
