The Coach House in Roundwood

Came for my son’s 7th birthday. Called ahead to ask if bringing our own cake was ok, and if we could bring our dog - not a problem at all! The staff were warm, friendly, and made us feel at home. The food was incredible. Even my 7 year old was impressed by what he called a “five star dinner!”

Absolutely one of the best meals I've ever had. Gorgeous, cosy setting and spot-on service.

The food is fab, both restaurant and bar are cosy and the food is interesting and absolutely delicious. It’s the perfect venue for a celebratory dinner or just a quick main and a glass of wine at the end of a busy week. Highly recommended! Worth a drive to for those not living locally. Or check out the lovely rooms for over night deal. Local patron.

The chicken wings are overpriced but the food is good.

We loved everything about this place. Cosy snug room, exceptional service, friendly staff, fantastic wine list and the food was amazing.

Great place, you can see that the staff loves what they do 😃.

Didn't stay there but had a wonderful lunch. Their food is excellent but a very popular restaurant - so booking very much advised. Great separate coffee bar as well.

We were very satisfied. The food, room, and staff were all excellent. Breakfast was excellent.

Went here for lunch three adults two teens. Food was great, pork belly, roasted aubergine and roast cod , flavour great, portion size good. Surroundings in restaurant were pleasant and bright. We were brought to our table which was not level and moving, we were informed it was not the legs but the table top. Offered another table but that was near bar area, so stuck with what we got. It amazes me how many places suffer with this and how irritating it is for diners, if you know about it, fix it. I would say service was mixed, seemed to be a more senior person who took our order, she didn't wear the usual uniform of the other staff and had a very cold demeanour, rest of staff were lovely. Chairs were not overly comfortable and one was on its way to breaking, a heavier person and you have problems, so we pointed it out as we were leaving, the manager promised to "put his best man on it"! Finally, a mandatory 12.5% service fee/gratuity is frankly awful and it applies to all tables. Allow the customer to decide that, not on at all. It's a pity, as the food is great, orange and almond cake for dessert was out of this world, but dining out is about the whole experience.

Visited for Sunday lunch yesterday and loved it. The Donegal Squid and Pork Belly salad were excellent starters, whilst the lamb shoulder was as good as I've ever had in Ireland, beautifully tender. And the tiramisu topped off a really enjoyable Sunday lunch. My Mam is coeliac and the staff were very helpful and the kitchen flexible in maximising the range of options from the menu which could be prepared gluten-free. The restaurant has a wonderful ambience, classically elegant but not at all stuffy. Staff were friendly and attentive. Some may consider it a little pricey but I've eaten in plenty of other places post-Covid at the same price point where the fare was average and/or service was poor, so for genuinely good food and service in the Ireland of 2025 I think people need to be expecting to pay around these prices. I live about an hour's drive away but hope to be back soon!
