Very busy when we went, you do not need to book, but may have to wait for a table. My wife had the fish & chips (18.50 euro) and I had the beef meal. (16.50 euro) Both meals were huge and filled the plate, very well cooked and most enjoyable.
However, thought the prices were way too high.

My sister and her husband were home for a short break from Essex. We went here on Sunday evening and had a lovely meal and drinks. My sister loves Gin &Tonic and loved discussing the different Gins Kevin has to offer. He was very helpful. The food was fantastic. Steaks for the boys were cooked just as ordered and myself and my sister had chicken dishes which were both superb. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. They were very impressed and will be back. Thanks again Kevin Ashling and all the staff.

Love this restaurant!! Food is amazing as is the staff. Such a lovely atmosphere here. My favourite dish is the jalfrezi as i lile spicy food but my partner doesn't like it too hot so they offered to make it less spicy for him. After the meal they offered us a complimentary glass of wine each which is a lovely touch. Definitely would recommend

Brought my wife for lunch during her dinner hour. It wasn't very busy at the time, but still had an extremely long wait for a toasted Sandwich. I find this unacceptable, as it is at a time when most people have limited time to spend waiting. Food was ok, but won't be back due to poor service.

I like this restaurant, and I come here a bit with family. The food is always to a high standard, very tasty, and the service is quite quick. The staff are always helpful, and the decoration is great. There aren't enough vegetarian options, and the desserts aren't great. The prices are high. As a whole, I do recommend this restaurant, but it has a few improvements to make.

Roberto's offers the best coffee in Monaghan. Although small you generally won't have to wait too long for a table ir seat at the counter. Best for a quick visit rather than a lingering lunch. Great selection of bagels and cakes available.

The team at The Batch Loaf are phenomenal. The whole experience was perfect - warm welcome, stylish atmosphere, amazing food and wonderful service. Sumptuous mushrooms and creamy fish were followed by the most delicious pecan golden caramel chocolate cheesecake which melted in the mouth. My only sadness was not trying The Batch Loaf gin, but that’s something to look forward to next time. Thank you all for a fantastic night - I look forward to coming back.
