Welcoming guests to our tables since 1854

Fresh flavours, timeless traditions

Dining here follows a 170-year-old rhythm: Breakfast unfolds gently over a garden view, lunch is washed down with a Guinness in Brownes Bar, and sweet treats make afternoon tea a joy. We share special moments and celebrate memorable meals in our gloriously opulent restaurant, Arbour, or our private dining room, Fredericks.

Arbour

Settle in and celebrate great food and great company in Arbour, a restaurant that’s both grand and laid back in equal measure, welcoming royal guests and local visitors alike. Our menu focuses on brasserie classics and seasonal dishes, using the freshest and finest Irish ingredients.

Brownes Bar

Stop by our traditional bar and we'll draw you a reviving espresso, fix you a celebratory cocktail, or suggest the perfect whiskey to warm you after a day wandering the wilds of Kerry. Order a light bite or settle in for a hearty lunch in any of our cosy nooks, comfortable seats and family-friendly tables.

Afternoon Tea

Treat your loved one to more than a meal; delight their senses with a tower of sweet treats over afternoon tea. Enjoy freshly poured tea or coffee, delicate and delicious sandwiches and an array of colourful cakes and moreish pastries β€” all served in the stunning surrounds of the Lake Room.
