This place was buzzing, of all the pubs that we visited this had the biggest crowd in. Very jovial atmosphere, nice pints, good craic, has a nice décor going on, not a bad place with a good friendly vibe to it. Liked it.

Eighty of us eat there after a family Christening. The food was delicious and plenty on the menu to choose from. There was a lot of people eating and drinking watching the GAA matches. We had a room to ourselves and it's very kid friendly with an enclosed Yard besides where we were eating so the kids could run and play. The Roundwood lake is a short distance away and the scenery is out of this world. It's easy to see why they call Wicklow the garden of Ireland. The staff were well able to deal with all their customers. There were a good few babies with us and there was no problem when it came to hearing babies bottles.

I'll start by saying that during my childhood we visited Bray a couple of times each summer and always ate dinner in Jim Doyles. Having lost my Grandad recently I wanted to take another trip out and do some of the things we used to including dinner here.It was yesterday, a bank holiday Sunday and we arrived for a drink and food at around 3pm and although the place was busy outside it wasn't full indoors yet we were left waiting nearly 20 minutes for service, we asked for a food menu and were told immediately that the kitchen was closed but they'd be taking orders in about half an hour. Meanwhile we were seeing plenty of plates of food being brought to other tables, but we waited the half an hour and asked again for a menu and were told that they were still not taking orders but would in half an hour, we asked could we get a menu just to browse and the guy never came back to us. We were drinking so didn't mind the wait but a short time later we overheard, we were at no point told this, that there was a huge backlog on food so the kitchen couldn't take any more orders for a while so we decided to head down to the arcade for a while.We came back maybe an hour and a half later to be told that the kitchen was completely out of food and wouldn't be serving again that day - now I understand that it was a busy day but given the fact that it was a bank holiday and the weather had been forecast I would have assumed that a seafront pub would have been fully prepared to cater for the customers, that is not my main issue with yesterday though. I was actually disgusted with the service, the staff were not pleasant or helpful, they at no point informed us, or those around us who also asked for food, what the situation actually was and we were continually fobbed off when we simply could have gone elsewhere for food. This place is completely different to the Jim Doyles I visited so frequently a number of years ago and not in a good way, I am so disappointed to see this place run so badly and just don't see myself returning again, I'd rather not ruin any more fond memories of the place.Hi LilMalteaser,Firstly, we would like to sincerely apologise that you felt let down on this occasion. We can assure you this is not up to our usual standards and we have shared your feedback with the whole team.While we were lucky enough to get beautiful weather this bank holiday weekend, it meant we were much busier than expected and there was a considerable pressure put on the kitchen. With so many orders, the team really had to work to get everything out, so we had to take measures to control the orders coming through. We also apologise for the wait that you felt, with things being so busy there was room for human error and we tried our best to accomodate everyone! We would invite you to visit us again, and experience the true Jim Doyle's!Jim Doyle & Sons

Reviewed By Ardvarkreviews
Had previously eaten in the grey goose about 2 months ago. My partner suggested we go out for a bit off dinner and I said we will go back to the grey goose. On arrival it was quieter than previous visit and was surprised with it being fathers day. So sat at a table and observed 3-4 Staff standing at the bar and one waitress floating back and forward looking busy doing nothing. After a few minutes of being ignored I got up and grabbed a couple of menus by the cashier point where waitress was standing and went back to our table and after a further 10 mins or so and still not even an attemp from any staff to see if we wanted to order or want a drink we decided it best to leave as the service (Or lack off) was atrocious. Very disappointed after previous visit. Perhaps Management need to invest in more staff training before bad staff ruin this business altogether .Hi there - thanks very much for this feedback - we were busy on Father's Day so may we ask was it the Wild Goose in Bray Co Wicklow that you visited or The Grey Goose in Drogheda, Louth? If ourselves, please message back so we can chat. Thanks in advance.

The service and ambiance were both quite nice. Recommend!Hi Ppoupore,Thank you for much for leaving a great review of our breakfast!
