About the restaurant

The long established tradition of Afternoon Tea has been wonderfully preserved at Ashford Castle since 1868 - you’ll notice the original silver tea set displayed in the Connaught Room, which was presented to Lord and Lady Ardilaun to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary in 1896. With spectacular views from the comfort of the castle’s elegant interior, take your time to savour every delicious moment.

The Afternoon Tea menu offers guests a wide selection of speciality teas or perhaps a glass of Champagne, delicate finger sandwiches, warm freshly baked scones with lashings of cream and home-made jam, not to mention our tasty pastries. It’s the perfect way to spend a leisurely afternoon with friends.

Please note that all visitors will be directed to our car park located across the bridge and a shuttle will be provided. Should there be any delays please call the hotel.

We were a group of 5 who attended on a busy Friday night. We were quickly seated and attended to, the starters were generous, fresh and delicious! The sharing platter is great value. The gin cocktail special was really good, our pizzas were great especially the vegan and gluten free one. The restaurant was busy and there was a bit of a wait at times but the atmosphere was great! Staff were very friendly and sought our feedback! Daniel the manager took great photos for us! Thank you Stone House and we will be back again!

Wonderful setting and fantastic food A beautiful setting in a spacious room painted green, adorned with stunning contemporary art and gorgeous high ceilings and windows. The food was excellent — tasty, beautifully presented, and full of exquisite flavours that made you savour every bite. All of this was served by a team who were friendly, approachable, and genuinely attentive — nothing was too much trouble. Thanks a million!

Very nice gastropub. There are not too many tables so be sure to book in advance. Service staff was attentive and fun, bartender mixes perfectly. Local patrons are not shy striking up a fun conversation that may be as good as the food. The food is top notch for a good price. We had lamb ( maybe as good as lamb I’ve had outside of New Zealand) and grass fed steak with some incredibly little potatoes that were so tender and flavorful yet were not swimming in a ton of butter or salt- so simple but so good. All was perfectly cooked to our order and wonderful flavor. Also had the tomato and tapenade appitizer. The tapenade was incredible with their bread- order one per person you will not be disappointed. Highly recommend this place.

About the restaurant

Whether it is for food, drinks or a good night's sleep, the Driftwood is a place for you to come and unwind in a fun & relaxed, family friendly environment!

The bar & cafe area is the perfect place for some light food or to relax and have a drink, with gorgeous views over Sligo Bay & Oyster Island. Paudie's pitmaster background has played a big influence on The Driftwood Smokehouse Restaurant, with smoked meats and seafood playing a central part of the menu, which have been slow cooked in the smoker for up to 15 hours, to give a gorgeous flavour & tender texture.
