Ashford Castle has been hosting distinguished guests for almost 800 years – one of the most prominent being the Prince of Wales, who subsequently became George V of England. In honour of his visit in 1905, the Guinness family built a special dining room that still bears his name proudly to this day.

The graceful setting, with rich, panelled walls and twinkling Waterford Crystal chandeliers bestows a grand sense of occasion. Our fine dining restaurant offers an expression of culinary expertise from the Estate reflecting Chef Liam Finnegan's flair for excellent produce and perfectly executed plates. Our dishes are complimented by a fine selection of wines from Head Sommelier Paul Fogerty.

Choose from dishes such as our signature beef which is served from our carving trolley table side or, our daily catch of the day sourced from Irish waters.

Please note a dinner jacket is required for gentlemen in the George V Dining Room.

    Lovely setting and menu. Gracious service. Food varied from excellent (starters: onion soup) to disappointing (choc mousse dessert). But the presence of a couple (having the 5 course tasting dinner, of course) with a screaming, loud, disruptive baby throughout their two hour dinner was extremely annoying to many diners and highly inappropriate. There should be a minimum age restriction of 13 in a restaurant this elegant and expensive - diners do not expect, nor should they have to tolerate, this disturbance in such a place. The maitre d’ told us he was terribly sorry but there was nothing he could do. A rule would solve this problem.

    This is the second time I’ve dined here. The first was in 2022 and I did not think I. Could have had a better meal. Except this time they outdid even that. Everything is cooked to perfection and carefully balanced to provide the most wonderful bites. Cannot recommend highly enough.
