Vanilla Pod in Kells

Wings were OK, could have been spicier, ribs were out of this world, meat fell off the bone and sauce was perfect. Service very good.

Wow! I don’t know what to say other than ‘Wow’. Beautiful, intimate and cosy. Amazing staff, spotlessly clean and the food…Oh, the food! Head chef Stephen is a talent. Steak cooked to perfection and made cauliflower taste good (I haven’t eaten cauliflower since I was forced to fed it as a child back in the 80’s!). Red wine gravy is out of this world. Our server, Fiona was gorgeous. I have worked in hospitality and know that it doesn’t suit everyone, it suits Fiona. She cares. A €100 tip wouldn’t cover this experience. From start to finish an unforgettable experience. I’ll finish how I started…Wow!

We ate here on July 4th for my birthday, as we were also staying at the Headfort Arms. This is a great onsite restaurant at the hotel with a fantastic ambience and a very friendly and professional service provided by the lovely Caroline and Fiona, who looked after us and all their patrons very well on the night. The menu was varied and offered something for every taste. We opted to start with Brie bon-bons, followed by spicy ribs and one of the tastiest gourmet burgers i have had in a long time. The chef(s) were excellent. Dessert was chocolate cheesecake with a selection of ice creams. They also went to the trouble of adding sparkler candles and wishing a Happy birthday to me and another lady celebrating hers also there. A fantastic experience and I'll certainly visit again when next in the locale.

Lovely restaurant very reasonable and great staff
