The meal of ribs, chicken and vegetables was very good. The dessert (berry mouse) was extremely tasty. The meal is served in the typical “tourist fashion” of not providing forks which forces you to eat with your hands. The benches are uncomfortable and the room is packed (more than 150 people). The talent of the musicians was very good at... more

This is a fun attraction! The dinner includes four courses and the staff, dressed in period costume, provides entertainment, including wonderful music, both singing and intrumental. There is both a harp player and a violinist. They are both incredible! It's alot of fun, and we made some friends at our table too. It was one of the highlights of our... more

After many years of driving past Bunratty folk park, i'mm sure like many other Irish people, we finally decided to pay it a visit. Cost's around €15 per adult and €10 for Old age pensioners and students. Well, i would have to say i was hoping to see a bit more than a few cottages, i thought there would be... more

Do not miss the opportunity to attend the Bunratty Medieval Banquet! That evening will stay with us forever; it was absolutely outstanding. The finest of entertainment, food and service, and atmosphere we've ever experienced. Upon arrival at the banquet you are warmly welcomed by beautiful ladies in lush, velvet dresses and headpieces of the medieval period, and brought into the... more

We stopped here after visiting the Blarney Castle several days before - and felt that this castle was very commercial in comparison. There are a lot of winding stairs that you have to climb up and down to get to the various rooms of the castle. The castle is furnished with period pieces, but the viewing area is rather cramped.... more

It was a really nice evening. The food was good. The entertainment was wonderful. I really was amazed how professional the singing was. I should think they would make a CD and sell it. They were awesome. it was a definite highlight of our trip. more

Worth the visit! A number of restored rooms with furniture of the period. Not like most ruins which are empty shells. Here you can really envision castle life. The park is an interesting glimpse into the past lives of folks in the 19th century with some limited demonstrations more

We did the medieval banquet in Bunratty Castle April 2008. We were all "loved up" that weekend so maybe we are a bit biased. But anyone planning to do the Banquet please do so. The food is fabulous (they give you one knife and you eat your entire meal with it - but don't be put off by that -... more
