Carlingford Arms in Carlingford

28/04/2025: Firstly, the food is excellent - we had the aubergine/cauliflower main and the lamb main and both were outstanding from both the taste and presentation points of view. However, the noise level was excruciatingly, so loud as to be physically painful, and we bolted our food so as to be able to leave as quickly as possible. You might not care if you are a large group on the lash and prepared to bellow at each other all evening, but for couples or a family get-together, normal conversation is impossible. The food deserved better than this atmosphere; sadly, we will not be returning here.

28/03/2025: Exceptional restaurant. If you are a big foodie, then this will not disappoint! A smaller menu than most but each and every dish is exquisitely prepared, cooked and prepared. Flavour is packed into every element. Nice relaxed surroundings, great service, no negatives. This one gets full marks. Really excellent and located in beautiful Carlingford.
