We attended a family christening here and had such a wonderful evening. The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavour with very generous portions, and the hand cut homemade chips were a real treat, something you don’t see very often anymore!
The service was excellent, the staff were so friendly and attentive, with bar service right to the table.
What really stood out were all the lovely little touches. They gave the new parents a personalised gift for their baby, played music for the cake cutting and the children, and even had a mini MC and flags flying for the mum and dad’s counties for a bit of fun!
They really went above and beyond to make the day special. A wonderful, memorable evening and definitely 5 stars from us. We’ll be back!

Tasty foodGood value
⭐️ Highly recommend The Old Coach Inn bar and restaurant! Had the best Full Irish breakfast, expertly made by Annette – fresh, fast, and beyond expectations! Plus, there's 2 hours of free parking right next door. Just before I go, I was sitting next to a fireplace! top spot for a great start to your day! 😋👌
Good food at reasonable prices. The pulled pork and chicken burger was delicious. All served with a smile. We will probably call again when we're next in Blaney
