Dining at Marlagh

Staying and Dining at Marlagh Lodge

Dinner for resident Bed and Breakfast guests is served in our atmospheric, candle-lit Dining Room with its lovely smoky blue William Morris wallpaper. Relax before dinner with an aperitif by the fire in the Drawing Room, then enjoy a five course meal in elegant surroundings. Everything is cooked freshly, including our popular home-made wheaten bread. Ireland has fantastic home-grown produce which we use in our daily-changing menus and we are proud to be associated with a number of excellent local suppliers - our butcher supplies some of the best beef, lamb and duck we've tasted anywhere!.

Private Dinner Parties at Marlagh Lodge

Private Parties of four to fourteen guests may enjoy a unique dinner party in the Dining Room at Marlagh Lodge on Friday or Saturday nights. On these evenings we serve pre-dinner drinks in the Drawing Room before going through to the Dining Room for dinner. Only one booking is taken for any night so guests have an exclusive dining experience. We send a menu out in advance and parties of four may choose one option for each course while parties of six or more may choose two options for each course. Drinks are served from 7.30pm followed by a Five Course Candle-lit Dinner at 8.00pm.
