Great place for a spontaneous or booked dinner. Lovely views of Trim Castle, superb service, delicious salads with great presentation and accessible prices. Walkins welcome. Very happy with the place

The food was just OK and a bit over priced. The server was as polite as he could be but stretched very thin. My food came out very quickly which was much appreciated.

Unfortunately, I went to the Jules restaurant at the Trim Hotel yesterday (26/04/24), where the waitresses are completely unprepared for the job, they don't know what they're doing there. My friend and I ordered our drinks after many, many attempts. When the drinks were delivered we already knew what we were going to order, but even so the waiter said "he would come back" to take our order, which didn't happen. After many, many attempts, we managed to place our order, so we relaxed, because the place is TENSE.
When we were starving, after 45 mins of waiting for our order, we tried to talk to the "clumsy staff" of the restaurant, and realized that our order never made it to the kitchen. All the tables around us had already eaten their dessert. Then the manager intervened, belatedly, as flustered as all the staff. Everyone "banging heads" with no idea what they were doing in that place. I got the distinct impression that they were "random people" trying to figure out how to work in a restaurant. Lamentable! I don't recommend this restaurant and I won't return.

Response from the owner

Dear Mabel,

Thank you for taking the time to post a review of your recent experience here at Trim Castle Hotel. We were disappointed to read that your experience with us wasn't to your satisfaction.
Unfortunately, during your recent visit we were in transition of opening a new outlet within the hotel, however this is certainly not the type of service we wish our guests to experience.
We will use this as an opportunity to retrain our teams and review the way we engage with our guests, and to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
Once again thank you for your feedback, as it is with this feedback that we will improve.
We hope to have another opportunity to welcome you back in the future.

Warm regards,
TCH Team

Strangest experience. Last week, I reserved a table for three people at 1.30pm. Got a confirmation email, followed by another reminder email the day before the reservation.

Showed up and was informed that the restaurant doesn’t open until the evening and I shouldn’t have been able to make a booking. The woman was apologetic, and suggested we try the cafe in the hotel.

However, my pregnant wife and I had travelled 2.5 hours to bring my 86 year old father to ^this^ particular restaurant.

As of today, the reservation system is still accepting reservations for a closed restaurant.

Surely the restaurant manager checks the reservation list for their restaurant that day? We could have been contacted to say that the reservation was accepted in error.

I don’t usually leave negative reviews, but yesterday evening, I received an email asking for a review of my experience - so here it is!

The only saving grace was the cafe in the hotel which had good food and very pleasant staff.

Response from the owner

Hi John, many thanks for your review, we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused to you, your wife and father. Our Reception Team did bring this to our attention and it is an error on our booking system that we are trying to rectify. We very seldom open for lunch but the system seems to have opened itself. Once again. we sincerely apologise for this error and we assure you that we are working hard to fix this issue. Kind Regards Trim Castle Hotel
