The best restaurantsof irish in Laois

11/06/2025: Stayed at this pub in our Campervan for 2 nights. All I can say is it is one of the best places we have had a stopover for the hospitality, food, drinking and the Craic. 10 🌟 if I could give it.

03/06/2025: Delicious homemade food, lovely inside and nice service. Chicken curry, chicken and ham and bread pudding were great!

08/06/2025: Nice local spot. Food was good and service was friendly. If you’re a fan of chocolate would recommend the ‘death by chocolate’ dessert!

25/05/2025: Food gone very expensive €20 now just for a main course ridiculous, food was cold so they really need to up their game

07/06/2025: Great spot for a few quiet drinks or for a gig! Used to have a lot better gigs but still pretty decent!

29/05/2025: I like this pub, good atmosphere, warm and friendly culture. Friendly and helpful staff, always up for a chat. Live on regularly, fantastic outdoor area. Good vibe, great Guinness. Well done Kavanaghs team, luv your work 👍🫶

14/06/2025: Sadly won't be going here again. It used to be such a great spot and the service was incredible (about 3 years ago) but the last 2 times we've gone we were left waiting for over an hour for food and trying to get the attention of service staff was horrific and one of these times we were the only ones there... Absolutely horrific service and the food is really not worth it anymore!

14/06/2025: I would recommend this place if you only want drinks. The sevice was non existant and the food did not match the price. Half a basket of fries and a tiny burger for 18 euro! I will not be returning.

26/05/2025: Went dancing here,very enjoyable evening. Didn't have dinner so can't comment on the food.

07/05/2025: Great dancefloor. Top bands. Lots to see around if on a holiday. Food fantastic.

09/06/2025: Excellent value for such wonderful food and service

04/04/2025: We had a birthday celebration on Sunday with over 20 family and friends for lunch. We were expecting a very good meal but it exceeded our expectations. The food was simply outstanding and all of our guests were unanimous in their praise. The flavours of the courses were just wonderful. I had smoked salmon for starter and it was delicious. I then had lamb for main course and it was perfectly cooked, tender and flavoursome. Service was provided mainly by young college age girls and guys and they were friendly, efficient and accommodating. The dining area was understandably busy but not noisy. The beautiful building was spotlessly clean. We didn't realize that there is a nice bar available for a pre-meal drink but will avail of it next time. I highly recommend the Ashbrooke Arms to anyone looking for delicious food, cooked with great skill in a lovely building with great service.
