We had a lovely lunch at the Roann cafe and bistro. Our server, Seán was very professional and courteous towards our group. The food was served without too much of a delay and was delicious and reasonably priced. Seán was very pleasant and friendly towards us. We’ll be back

Small but interesting menu, the avocado, macadamia and pear starter was fantastic, the goats cheese and mushroom veloute starters also very good. Enjoyed the chicken supreme and white bean but ideally would have like more beans and a bit less chorizo. Sea bass well cooked and tasty accompanied by lots of potatoes. The one thing that stops me giving 5 stars is that bottled wine was overpriced.
Where I would happily award 5 stars was for service, one young lady serviced the whole dining room and did this exceptionally well. There were no delays, she engaged with all customers, she listened and smiled and seemed to genuinely enjoy what is a tough job. Michaela, take a bow and thanks for looking after us. Having just come from a large hotel in Belfast where service was non existent this was night and day difference. The hotel needs to hang on to this young lady.

Had an early bird meal last night and was very impressed with the food! Chicken skewer starter was tasty and filling and the Seabass & Ravioli mains were delicious, as was the meringue & roulade and all for such good value!
Service was friendly & attentive and new decor was gorgeous. Would suggest maybe to have the lighting a bit dimmer for evening meals, but aside from this, we had no faults & will be back!

I've been a regular customer of Trim Castle for years as I live in the local area. I was really looking forward to visiting the newly refurbished cafe. Decor is lovely but the service doesn't match at all. This used to be a family friendly cafe but unfortunately it no longer is. I first visited with friends and my 6 year old daughter. I was told there was no kids menu but they'd try make up something so I just ordered a ham & cheese sandwich which came out perfectly with crisps on the side. One of the meals came out a good 10 minutes before everyone else's. Service was hit and miss which I put down to it being new.
Visited again a few weeks later with family. I was again told that there is no kids menu and that she would need to order from the main menu. I explained about being there a few weeks previously and got a normal ham & cheese sandwich. There was a bit of a fuss made and she eventually said she'd see what she could do. It's like it was an inconvenience. Service seems very sloppy and I can't understand how there is no kids menu. The place was full of families. Parking was always free when eating in the hotel but this has changed and you have to pay now regardless.
I won't be back and they have lost a loyal regular customer. Having spoken to other people, I'm definitely not the only one with this view.

Boann was highly recommended to us by friends so we went for our wedding anniversary dinner. So glad we did ! Food was simply excellent - a very high standard of presentation and flavours to match - really couldn’t ask for more. The service was great so it really is a big well done to all the staff both in kitchen and on tables.
The restaurant is a great place to eat - light and airy with a great decor scheme and a lovely relaxed atmosphere.
For the quality of food etc the prices are really good value.
We travelled 30minutes to get there and was well worth it ! (Lucky residents of Trim to have this in your town!) .
I rarely write reviews so the fact I have done this one reflects how good the whole experience was !

Right beside Trim Castle, amazing views. Food is superb. We had fillet steak cooked to perfection and Seabream both delicious as was the desert. Àine and Samantha looked after us very well. Will definitely go back, highly recommend 👌

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Boann with my partner for lunch, we ordered wraps and then a pastry with coffee and I must say it was absolutely delicious! The staff were very attentive, special thanks to Erika and Zaneta for making our experience so pleasant! We will be coming back again!

I had a rare opportunity for a solo lunch and popped in for a bite one Friday afternoon. As expected cafe was busy, waited to be seated, was looked after quickly enough. Ordered the chicken slice with salad, and some mineral water. Eventually my plate arrived- a soggy ( presume microwaved ) flat looking pastry which contained a bit of chicken & mushroom. This was accompanied by a very small portion of mixed salad.My water was eventually brought to my table mid meal. No-one came by to check my meal was satisfactory or to allow order tea/coffee or desert.
Paid 15 euro for this meal- I for one will not be back.This was a very well ran family hotel with good quality food & friendly staff. Not the case anymore unfortunately.

Bland tasteless very expensive food.
Restaurant is clean and very pleasant environment, staff are excellent and attentive.
Menu reads great and dishes look very appetising.
However both my pork belly starter and sea bream mains were dreadful bland and tasteless.
Also at €15 for starter, €25 for mains, cheapest wine is €35.
It’s not cheap, I have no problem paying for tasty food but this is not that, bitterly disappointed.
Will not be returning!

We had the pleasure of dining in the newly refurbished BoAnn in October of this year for an evening meal with some friends.
The atmosphere and setting were truly beautiful and perfectly complimented by the selection of options on the dinner menu.
Our group had a variety of dishes from pizzas to pastas all exceptionally cooked and served.
I would recommend trying some cocktails especially the "Bramble"
Service was excellent, overall we would recommend a visit to BoAnn if you are in the Trim area.

Aoibha, the server was excellent and provided prompt service.
As we went for a walk, Michaela assisted to obtain us a complimentary take-out water that was ideal for the circumstances. Coffee and tea are tasty when paired with sausage rolls. really happy to be here.

Honestly, the most disgusting steak sandwich I've ever had in my life. The steak pieces were either reheated in a really hot oven or deep fried, either way they were quite obviously burnt. The onions must had been done in the same dish as even though they didn't look burnt they tasted burnt. €16.50 for absolute dirt. Never again.

My boyfriend and I had an amazing breakfast at Boann Cafe & Bistro Bar last week! The decor there is absolutely Gorgeous.
I had the pancakes with the most delicious maple syrup and crispy bacon and my boyfriend of course had the Full Irish.
The service was lovely, all staff were so fab but a particular shout out to Aine & Michaela. We enjoyed every moment of our visit. Highly recommended! We will definitely be back soon.

I visited Boann for lunch recently while in Ireland to see family. The coffee and apple crumble I had was delicious, and the service was excellent. I would highly recommend going if you are looking for lunch, dinner or just a coffee and small bite to eat.
Very friendly stuff girls Zanet and Erica

Brought a client of mine here for dinner last week to try the new dinners here. We both had the rack of lamb cooked medium and I have to say it was one of the nicest meals I've had in some time. The young girl Aoibhe who waited our table was fantastic . Will absolutely be returning in the near future.
