I ate in the Cahir House Hotel in Tipp yesterday.
They weren't ready for us when we arrived (we had around 80 people and got there early), but they were very nice and got us settled in the bar.
When our room was ready they came around and got us all in, and my word what an efficient operation.
Two things on the menu - sirloin of beef, or turkey and ham.
I found it odd that nobody was taking orders, all they were asking was if anyone had vegan or vegetarian requirements.
Instead, they were going around to tables a few minutes later with the full plates of the beef or turkey and ham, asking which one people wanted. Within around 15 minutes of sitting down, everyone in the room had dinner in front of them. Brilliant way of doing it - two items on the menu, assume people will want one of either, and have them ready to go when people are arriving. That could have taken an hour if they were taking orders off everyone. I'd imagine experienced places know roughly what percentage will go for the beef vs turkey.
And the food was absolutley top class, service was great, and that is a really lovely hotel.
