We had our 2nd delicious early supper meal recently. As well as 3 courses, the restaurant gave complimentary tasting menu type of treats, which added to the uniqueness of our meal. The management were very courteous to our group and very helpful with discussing the menu. We look forward to returning there.

Food and service was fantastic, we were lucky enough to be there on a night Kiera was playing, she was fantastic and set the tone beautifully for the restaurant. It was overall a great night and I would highly recommend.

About the restaurant
Our story: The StockHouse is result of four people with an avid love of good food, good times & good value. Having both eaten out and working in various establishments both in Ireland and abroad, and having spoken about opening our own restaurant on many a night out it finally came to be when Mick and Orla approached Tom and Carmel about the possibility of opening a place of our own. They had been watching the building for quite a while and when it became available they decided to act and so our partnership was formed and StockHouse was born....

Excellent menu, small but in that perfect. We frequently grab a coffee as we are walking the dogs or stop by for a fabulous bottle of wine but it was our first chance for a date night. It didn't disappoint

Roundwood
About the restaurant
Opened under new ownership in December 2023, we are located adjacent to our existing Roundwood Stores bakery and artisan food store. Come and enjoy good food, wine, craft beer, and log fires in the beautifully restored 1820’s Coach House.
The pub is open midday until late, Thursday to Sunday, for walk-ins and reservations.
The menu is slightly more casual (as are some of the tables) but the room is cozy and the experience the same.
The restaurant is open midday for lunch and 5pm for dinner, walk-ins or reservations available.

We look forward to welcoming you.
