We’ve gone here before and really loved the food. We haven’t been in about 6 months and the entire menu has changed and is way smaller now. The food is expensive for what you get, they forgot one of our sandwiches and it was rushed out to the table. The cheese wasn’t melted on any of the food, we ordered garlic cheese chips and most of the cheese was at the bottom with very little sauce. My partner found something hard in their beef toastie which seemed to be a part of a bone. Staff were very good despite everything. Food was disappointing for the price that you pay and it’s a massive downgrade from what it was.

Kept forgetting our order, took about 45 minutes for food to arrive when it eventually arrived, the food was really oily and salty and yet again forgetting a part of our order and on top of that the food was very overpriced. Overall, nice staff but the business is unorganised, slow and not well stocked.

The full Irish breakfast at Jailers Rest was exceptional—generous in size and great value. It comes with plenty of tea, freshly prepared every time. I would gladly travel from Dublin just to enjoy this breakfast again. Highly recommend this place for its food—10/10!

Full Irish was 10/10. Fresh ingredients tasted so good along with very very nice and accommodating staff. Nicest breakfast I’ve had in months easily!

We stopped at Jailers Rest for a late lunch while passing through Wicklow on our way to Rosslare for the ferry that evening. The food was delicious, homemade, hot, and fresh. The service was excellent, and the prices were very reasonable!
