  Superb little restaurant, you need to get there early enough on a Sunday though or you'll be queueing for a table. They also offer a fab takeaway service. Highly recommended

  A hidden gem. A great place for lunch with the family. The staff have a great system so you don't have to worry about getting a table, as it's a very busy place. The staff will show you to your table and pop a reserved sign on it so you can go up and order in peace. The food is fresh, tasty and just good honest food and the portions are not shy. They also do a half portion of the carvery for kids or they have a kids menu. The deserts are home made and sinfully good. The owner is always around and very welcoming and friendly as are all the staff. It's a great place and we have always enjoyed everything meal we have had there. It's a true hidden gem nestled in Horkans Garden Centre.

  Best little restaurant. This is a little gem hidden away in horkins garden centre castlebar. It's always busy but they have a really good system a staff member meets you by the door and will put a reservation on a table for you so you can go up and get your food. The food is second to none and they are not shy loading the plate. It's a child friendly place and have a lovely kiddie's menu. They have lovely healthy options if that takes your fancy. The desserts and home made and lovely. The boss keeps a close eye on everything and he is usually at the till and is a true gentleman. Nothing is too much trouble for this gent and he and his lovely staff will make sure you leave happy and full.

  The Food is excellent. I'm biased but love dropping in for a coffee or cavery Sunday lunch. Always receive a warm welcome from Paul, Mary and the rest of the Bay Leaf team.

  The best service I've ever experienced, the best food also. The manager (Paul O'Neill) is one of nicest most welcoming person you'll ever want to meet. I'd say he treats his staff well so then they can reflect their high spirits onto the customers. The Bay Leaf is located within Horkans Garden centre and it overlooks the beautiful greenery of the plants etc on sale, this atmosphere is very relaxing which adds to the already high standards. Thank you so much, you've a customer for life!

  This place is brilliant. I typically wouldn't expect to find such high quality food within a garden centre but this place is an exception. I visited on a sunny sunday and had a great carvery dinner, the beef was the nicest I'd tasted for a long time. All of the food on the hot counter looked really fresh and was being constantly replenished. The portions were very generous and the food is very reasonably priced. Finally, the staff were friendly and helpful, I couldn't fault them! I'll definitely be back to the Bay Leaf and will be recommending it to friends and family.
