What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Deer Park Cafe Bar is praised for its magnificent views and exceptional service, particularly for special events and weddings. Many diners highlight the superb food, with breakfast and scones receiving special mentions, and appreciate the friendly atmosphere. However, some reviews note issues with cleanliness and slow service, with one customer experiencing cold soup and unsatisfactory toasties.
"Planning an intimate wedding that honored a diverse background of family and friends hailing from 17 different countries was quite a challenge, but we were incredibly fortunate to have the Deer Park Cafe Bar team by our side.
Every single member of the team was simply amazing . A special shout-out goes to Eddie, who, without a doubt was the hero behind the scenes of our big day. Words can't fully express how extraordinary he was right from the start.
Eddie went above and beyond, leaving no detail unattended to ensure that our day would be nothing less than perfect, and he absolutely succeeded. He always had a warm smile on his face, and he was not only there to fulfill our requests but also to provide valuable advice and suggestions. Eddie's dedication and commitment were truly unmatched, and his emotional support as the day approached meant the world to me.
I can't stress enough how grateful I am to have had someone so genuinely invested in our wedding, someone we could truly count on.
I was genuinely touched by Eddie’s dedication and of course by the entire Deer Park team’s, which they maintained throughout the entire process. The result? Our wedding day was amazing.
We had an incredible time and were treated with the utmost care and respect. We will be forever thankful for their exceptional service and support, which transformed our wedding into an unforgettable celebration of love and unity!"

"Had a christening here last Saturday and couldn't fault it one bit! Ed looked after us, from start to finish he was so attentive, staff were all so nice. The food was supreme, everyone really enjoyed it.
The views and lucky for us we got good weather so the kids enjoyed the garden area. We really couldn't have asked for a better day.
Also Veronica who we booked with was always available to answer any questions and was a pleasure to deal with throughout the whole booking, organising and after the event.
This is my 2nd time booking through her (sky bar howth previously) and she didn't let me down again.
I will definitely going back to her for any events to come."

"Unfortunately, my experience at the establishment was disappointing. The environment was in dire need of some attention to cleanliness, and the service was quite sluggish. Despite there being only a small group of patrons, I found myself waiting in a queue for 20 minutes. The wait for my order of two toasties and soup seemed to drag on for an eternity, taking a total of 35 minutes. To make matters worse, the soup was unacceptably cold, so I had to request a refund. Sadly, the toasties were also unsatisfactory, lacking the desirable toasty flavor and texture."
