We mistakenly thought we had booked half an hour later but Bramley were totally fine with it and left us feeling relaxed about our mistake. The service was very good and the little appetisers between courses was a lovely touch. The food was excellent, just a heads up although it doesn’t say on the menu but mains do come with some baby boiled potatoes although the crispy chips we ordered as a side were so tasty and crunchy. Overall a wonderful dining experience the only reason I gave a four is there is always room to achieve ultimate excellence but Bramley are very close. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

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....
