Lennons is great for Brunch, Lunch or Dinner! The specials board changes daily so there's always something new and tasty on the menu. Recently, I had a breaded breast of chicken stuffed with a yummy cheese and parma ham, side salad, potato wedges and a 'skinny' garlic dip=11.99 Can't beat that! More

I recently moved to Carlow and have eaten here on two occasions: one, with children, for Sunday brunch; and one, with partner, for dinner. The meals and service were excellent on both occasions. Lunch, outside on a sunny day, was wonderful not just for me but also for the children. I had a succulent roast beef ciabatta that was generous... More

My husband and i went there on the basis of the good reviews it received for a nice romantic night, just the 2 of us. we were disappointed by the food and our uncomfortable sitting arrangement.

I've been back many times and most often with visiting friends or family. My most recent visit was with two of my oldest friends from California. Having lived in California for a long time I think...

I went here for Valentines Day with my fiancée for a romantic meal. It didn't disappoint! The starters of Warm Black Pudding and Bacon Salad and Mussels in a White Wine and Garlic sauce were large and well presented and full of flavour. The one minor detail was that perhaps the sauce for the mussels could have been slightly thicker.... More
