“ Love this place. A great facility for the local community and visitors. Kitchen recently taken over by new chef Davide and front of house Joe. Went for the usual breakfast. Very tasty and good value but missed the little chipped potatoes!! ”
“ Really lovely spot! I made a reservation for more than 30 people and Kelly's kitchen went over and beyond to make our dining experience exceptional. The food was hearty and tasty (big portions!). We had the option to pre-choose finger food or full course meals. The communication via email was fast and accommodating. The staff was friendly, yet professional and kind. Highly recommend this venue. ”

“ Best frys in all of Ireland. Staff are lovely and the fire is lighting all the time. Pure cosy ”
“ I had some delicious food here at this comfy bar/restaurant. To start I had a nice warm soup, something not too heavy in preparation for my main: the seafood platter. It had lots of seafood to choose from such as salmon, mackerel and crab claws. There is probably enough food on the plate for two people, but I can happily say I ate all of it! For dessert I had the brownie (although I would have had the moss pudding if it was available!). It was rich and delicious, served with both heavy cream and ice cream. The service was also good. We all had a great meal here at Slieve League Lodge. ”
