Candles flicker in the windows of this welcoming restaurant set by the river. It’s run by a passionate chef-owner and his bright, friendly team, and is a real hit with the locals. Regional ingredients feature in good value dishes which are carefully cooked and full of natural flavours.

Superstar chef Gary O’Hanlon has described John Coffey, of Thyme Restaurant, as “the most underappreciated chef in the country.” But, in the year just passed, it seems the acclaim Mr Coffey deserves has come his way: media attention; bib gourmands; an overnight sensation, after only a dozen years in business.

We opened our doors for the first time this day 15 years ago with murmurings of a recession. It was hard to see us being able to last 15 months let alone 15 years!

Thank you so much to anyone that has visited us and to all the excellent staff that have worked with us since 2007.

Special thanks also to our Superstar Restaurant Manager Sharon, who has been putting up with us since day one, an achievement in itself! 🙏
