The best pubs for food in west dublin/Co.Kildare

STIX001

Please give your opinions of which you think are the best pubs for food
in the lucan/leixlip/celbridge/maynooth areas, and why you lke them,

My personal favourites are Courtneys in lucan, and Newtown inn in Maynooth,

Courntey's has not the most original menu but has a restaurant section
so if you dont want to sit with drinking crowd who just was soakage
u can enjoy a good meal which u can tell the provide,the chef really puts the effort in. and i heard hes leaving, not good! pity the service is a bit slow.

Newtown inn is one of those pubs u wouldnt go for a big night out but
the food really has improved in the last 6 months,before it was quite drab, the old bit of salad and bun job which any old plonker with a pair of hands and a chef hat on could do,
sunday lunch is the best in the area in my opinion and the bar food
really does hit the spot,down to a new chef i here more than just steak and chips but a lovely meal,and nice quiet surroundings, hopefully it keeps up, well worth a visit.

Pub grub eh?

Well I don't know about the best 6 but I used to like the food in the Roost in Maynooth when they first started serving carvery but once people copped onto it, I fellt that the quality declined slightly, possibly because they had to cook so much food at once.

I had a coffee in Newtown Inn a few weeks ago when I was back in Ireland and it tasted great! Best coffee I'd had in a long time! Haven't really eaten out in WestDublin since I moved to England As I'm from Lucan originally I usually eat in me mammys when I'm home rather than the pub, nothing like mammys cooking

i'd agree with you on Courtneys.

Leixlip House do a nice bar food menu and the setting is quieter than your normal pub.

Was at Liffey Valley house in Leixlip last sunday and they do a very good carvery with food piled high on the plate.

i must try liexlip house sometime,
im from lucan myself and the one thing lacking is quality restaurants,
theres demand there but i guess people dont want to pay the prices...

STIX001

...and yeah theres something about mothers cookin its got that priceless
quality!

Courtneys have decent bar food,
but the Carvery in Kennys is far better imo. Its hotel quaility carvery, (if that makes sense)
I pretty much refuse to go into Courtneys now due to the price of drink, its the dearest in the area by almost a euro a pint. Probably the dearest pub in the country

the ryevale tavern in leixlip does a nice carvery and barfood menu.the springfield hotel does great barfood, im not mad on the carvery though.o neills, the new pub in maynooth is supposed to be great, havent had it myself though.i heard the penny hill was good?? palmerstown house is good too.

STIX001

Mellor

Stix, are you refering to the a la carte or the carvery?

cathald

Courtyard, Leixlip for carvery, the Ryevale for bar food generally.

boomhower

gonna have to try those places!!!! (i like food)

deadmans is quite good for a carvery!!! nice, fresh, PROPER food in decent portions!!

lord lucan

the deadmans inn do a decent carvery. the best i've had in a while was in the courtyard in leixlip,it was the business:cool:

babi-hrse

the deadmans is class easy to get seating and massive amounts of food!
just have to get there bout noon for the best stuff! drivin can be a bit confusing if your not from around the area! take the slip down the hill and right at the roundabout and approach another roundabout and... there goes i gettin confused again think its a straight on and the road veers to the right to the deadmans!
