Carvery Restaurants in N. Dublin

Jellybaby1

Last family lunch out was a disappointment. I am now instructed to find something better next time. I'm not familiar with northside myself. I can get a list on Menupages but if anyone can actually recommend a nice family restaurant with a carvery in N. Dublin it would be a help. Its for a family with a few frail OAP's so (1) no steps, (2) convenient parking and (3) traditional menu are top of our requirements. Thanks in advance.

The Coachmans and The Balrothery Inn would be the most traditional ones I could think of

Dwyer's in Portmarnock
Halfway house on n3

The Clayton Dublin Airport Hotel, I’ve had a couple of really nice carvery dinners there. Not very picturesque surroundings, but parking and access are easy.

Carnegie Court Hotel in Swords does a good one.

The Yacht in Clontarf does a very nice carvery.

I was in the Carnegie Court last Sunday and the carvery was lovely

Rolestown Inn does a great carvery and uses a couple of large function rooms which the older folk may like away from noise of bar.

Another vote for the coachmans, the epitome of a traditional food carvery with generous portions.

The Hill Billy

Man O' War does a great feed.

Many many thanks everyone. Some of the suggestions I haven't heard of. Plenty for me to choose from. Much appreciated!

Another vote for Man o' War. Also Kettles out in Rolestown for carvery.

I like the Coachman's myself and would go there more often but my wife thinks it's a kip so I only go solo. The food is great but the place itself is a bit 'tired' looking.

Really? Not a million miles away from me so I'll have to check that out.

I pass it regularly and there never seems to be anyone going in or out. Always looks 'half closed' to me. I didn't realise they still did food. I'd say it's over 20 years since I last ate in it.

As the crow flies probably the closest pub to me! Lovely food.. It can look closed from the outside but there is always a nice atmosphere inside. Get a good tourist trade too!

The Hill Billy

There's also The Balrothery Inn close by too.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm making a list, checking it twice!

That's because there's a big car park behind it and people go in and out the back door - you'd be lucky to get a table on a busy Sunday afternoon. Last time we were there they said we should have reserved a table, it was so busy. The food and service are great.

The best is The Beaumont House, but it is also the dearest and bad value imo. The best value is The Island View/Oscar Taylor's in malahide. The pensioner half plate is incredible value.

I have to ask....if Beaumont House is the best, but also the dearest and bad value.....then how is it the best?

Restaurants I've been to have half portions, you just have to ask as its not always advertised. Your age doesn't matter usually.

I'd have to agree with your wife having only been in it once several years ago...I must give it another try for the carvery though.

We were just in Kettle's again on Sunday and it was quite nice. I must remember to try the Man o' War sometime, as others have mentioned it always looks closed when going by. I seem to remember a few mentioning the Seamus Ennis Centre for a carvery a while ago but never got to try it.

We've always enjoyed Peacock's in Rivervalley but haven't been there much since they began closing it at 4pm as it's just too early for us.

Seamus Ennis Sunday food is great. I had venison last time I was there.

Seamus Ennis centre has gone to sh1te over the last few years, I've been going for 9, last time was March. Was cheap, bland, and thrown together. Each time was progressively worse. City North is pretty good.

One of nicest on the North side of Dublin. They have another branch in Castleknock but I think don't know the name. It's also famous for its food

Thought the coachmans was fairly bland on my last visit last year. The Man-O-War was good the last time I was there. Oscar Taylors was very good on my last visit last year

Had lunch in the Strand Bar Rush a few weeks ago, my first visit in about 4 years and we thought it was very good. Decent portion and nice food. Not a carvery though but access is good and there is a decent car park. If you dont want to drive the bus stops about 10 feet from door.
