Preacher's Pub - Ireland

The good beer taps are always emptry. Nice atmosphere.

This pub inside Temple Gate hotel is so cozy with excellent service and delicious food. My husband had their Irish stew which was filled with tender lamb veggies in a rich, creamy Guinness broth and I had their fish chips. Our waitress Miriam and the bartender, Jeff were so nice. We also spent a night at this hotel which was lovely.

Was staying at the adjoining Temple Gate Hotel. So decided to eat here. Glad I did it! Beautiful interior. Food was delicious (Large Caesar Salad! and the staff were very friendly and attentive despite it being a very busy Friday night. Look forward to my return when I visit Ennis again.

The atmosphere was nice, and the staff were pleasant and professional so no fault lies with them. In short, the food gives the impression that it 's bought in bulk and thrown into a freezer, then thrown into the oven whenever someone orders it. Every item of food is severely overcooked and without any type of seasoning. At length: I had the pan fried salmon with mango scallion salsa, white wine velouté, rice, and veg of the day. The salmon was tough, leathery, and tasteless. The mango and scallion salsa was some mango, a lot of bell pepper and red onion, and no scallion. The white wine velouté (described as the mother of sauces in French cuisine) was lumpy and tasteless. The rice was either Boil In A Bag, or prepared poorly enough to taste like it. The veg of the day was carrots, green beans, cauliflower, and broccoli, all of which were steamed to death and also without any sort of seasoning. My partner had the vegan sandwich, which was supposed to be roasted veg with mayo on sourdough bread. The actual sandwich was steamed, overcooked, mushy, unseasoned veg with mayo on tough, tasteless bread reminiscent of Communion wafer. Very, very disappointing considering the pricing. The quality of the food represents an unenthusiastic kitchen.

Fast and professional service. Very nice atmosphere. Lamb stew and apple pie 10/10. I definitely recommend.
