Short ride from the ferry at Rosslare. Welcome and service was great. Food good. Place was a little care worn with lamps out in the dining area and our room had a live electrical box with its cover removed and loosely positioned in front so if you were so inclined you could give yourself a new hairstyle if you decided to poke around inside. The wiring beneath with exposed rear to patress boxes was also a concern. Despite the obvious electrical safety items we had a good stay here We were competing in a Bowls Competition in Mullinvat and stopped off to eat. Lovely servers to accommodate us as a group, Food was excellent Lovely Atmosphere and plenty of space. Good food. The feather blade beef was amazing. Would definitely recommend. Fish and chips was good, though even if the menu mention peas (and past pictures shows them), i was served a plate with no peas. The server said they dont do that anymore. A good service would have mention that before placing the order and offer some other replacement beforehand. I would have avoided the review but when i said "bye have a nice day" and ive received no answers, and felt rushed out, it was clear to me that the service is just bad. I was in here recently for a quick bite of food, I had a chicken burger, there was a few regulars at the bar to chat to while waiting for my food. The chicken burger and chips with a small bit of salad really hit the spot and was reasonably priced. Car parking was free. No where to park a car really unless you get lucky on the street. Lovely restaurant and the food was out of this world. So homemade and very tasty Food here is delicious. A short drive from Waterford city. Warm and cosy pub. Good sports coverage. Mix of locals and visitors Staff were exceptional, accommodations wonderful. Owner was very nice. Food was truly home cooking. Wonderful experience. Highly recommended! The Rising Sun is located just off of the M9 motorway in Mullinavat Kilkenny. There is a large car park with a barrier on it and plenty of parking on the street, including virtually right outside the door, handy for anyone with limited mobility. The Rising Sun, or Garrandarragh inn as it’s also called is a large period stone building, and this rustic charm continues within, with furniture, fixtures and fittings suiting the period of the building. Certainly plenty to look at, with its stone walls, quarry tiled floors and high ceilings. As expected, the place was spotlessly clean, given the building, I would imagine that dust and cobwebs could easily be a problem, but certainly none were visible, even up high, where you might expect a random one to be. The only observation i did notice was in the small condiments tray on the table, there was a few empty sugar sachets, and loose sugar in the tray. Not realising they were empty, i went to pick one up, which is how I came to notice they were empty, and the bottom of the tray had loose sugar in it. Only a small detail, and maybe it only happened before our arrival ( I wasnt going to check other tables… I’m not that bad!!!) However something like this should be checked, as with anything, it can make people wonder about attention to cleanliness in general, and start making assumptions! Upon arrival we were promptly met and welcomed by a member of staff, who provided us with menu’s and asked if we’d like tea coffee, in advance of ordering, which were delivered promptly to the table. Once served, although the staff member didnt specifically come by to check if we were ok with everything, she was present, and we had no problem ordering further coffee etc, and teapot refil when required, which she did promplty The here is Fantatstic and value. (€12.95 for a full Irish) I always say that a can die on the quality of its sausages and rashers, and this place didnt disappoint The sausages in particular were delicious, and obviously quality, as was everything else on the plate to be fair. The Hash Brown was lovely and crunchy, and there’s nothing worse than a soggy hash brown, Beans came in it’s own bathtub as is proper order, even if it is mainly for portion control. The rasher, although thin, were very tasty too! The only thing that was missing was a side plate for the toast, as there is no room for it on the plate, meaning you had to hold it in your hand to butter / cut it (or put it on the table) Great selection of items on the menu, with something for everyone. I always feel that eateries who serve breakfast, not just here, miss a trick by not having lunch/dinner menu’s visible, as to my mind, if someone has a like me, and they see some of the dinner options, they might be tempted to return for a meal at a later time. Prices here are very reasonable, and represent quality for what you get on the plate, and we also got a free teapot refill, and extra toast which was not charged for, which made it value. The Rising Sun is a place to stop. In easy commuting distance from both Waterford and Kilkenny, it’s ideally situated for it’s rooms alone, and the food offering is to match. Any time I’ve stopped off here for breakfast, it’s been quiet, and I think that’s a shame as this place deserves to be a lot busier. It is literally just off of the M9 Motorway at Junction 11. Maybe it has busier periods for breakfast, but I’ve not been there. If you have never stopped off, and I’ve spoken to several people who say they have never been in there, do. You wont be disappointed. It’s well worth the stop! Was in earlier today.. after traveling all day it’s the handiest place to stop into, menu wasn’t worth looking at. 2 fish options Prawn “Thai yellow curry” and standard fish and chips Curry was definitely made from a packet with about 6 peas in it and 6 prawns thrown into the curry after it was cooked. No flavour And Rice was microwaved. Chips were either cooked twice or frozen and the fish batter was so thick the fish was nearly poached inside the batter. My father asked for spuds and veg instead of chips and the lady replied “no spuds or veg on Monday and Tuesdays” Today is Wednesday 😬 To be honest it was an awful experience, I should have known when I seen nobody in there when I walked in and turned around! Cost €38 for 2 people with a water and a tea Awful😩 My friend and I went in for a quick lunch thinking the food would be only alright. We were coming from the funeral of a close friend and wanted somewhere to have a chat and some food. We were pleasantly suprised. I had beef dinner and it was as I remember my mother used to make it. Beautiful 🤩 My friend has a toastie with chips and tea and he was very impressed. There was s few locals at the bar which was nice and the lady server was very helpful and service was excellent. 5/5 definitely.
