Bright and airy and cute, large windows which allow lots of light in, and surprisingly quiet given the traffic outside. Perfect for quiet conversations or a bite for one. They have wifi if you wish but I got lost in the décor and feel of the place, not to mention the tantalizing menu descriptions! Prices are really reasonable (especially from someone living in Dublin) and I was well filled for lunch after a gourmet sandwich and a delightful Earl Grey + Blue Flower tea they offered. The staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the place is absolutely spotlessly clean but without an unpleasantly sterile feel - like your exceptionally clean mum's kitchen! Will definitely be back again if I'm able, excellent experience all around.

It's been a while since I've been in Kells and recently this amazing little gem has popped up. From…read morethe outside it looks small, and I was concerned it wouldn't have enough seating space, but do not be fooled! There is a beautiful outdoor seating area that's been really well landscaped and put together. Lots to look at while you wait for your coffee. There is also a lovely bright converted upstairs with lots of seating and some comfortable sofas to boot. I really love the decor here. It's country style, but fresh and clean. It's a pleasure to dine here. Their menu has a really good selection of eats from sandwiches to full cooked lasagnas, you won't be left wanting. I decided to go with the Tuna Melt. Other members of my party also opted for sandwiches, the club sandwich looking particularly lovely. While I enjoyed my tuna melt, I was expecting a little better. The melt looked great on the plate (see attached picture) but looked more like mini pizzas to me. I think next time I'll be sure to ask for it as a sandwich instead. The club sandwich looked fantastic and the portions are excellent value for money. It would be a really great rival spot to the nearby Bective for evening food. I can only imagine their upstairs looking super romantic with candles and fairy lights. Why should you dine here? Support local businesses! The food is excellent value, the surroundings are wonderful and the staff are absolutely lovely. I'm looking forward to giving this place another try very very soon.

A true hidden gem. The Courtyard is located just outside Kells!…read more There is a beautiful garden area with flowers and plants maintained, and two wild birds roaming around too. I think there is a peacock too but haven't seen him in a while! This is a great spot for interior shopping. They have plenty of beautiful ornamental bits and soft furnishings, beautiful mirrors, clocks, lamps and so on. Also wonderful ideas for gifts here too! So much to choose from. It is on the pricey side but their products are fabulous. They have a little cafe too where you can get coffee, tea and desserts. I believe they also host craft classes here, where you can learn how to decoupage and upcycle old bits!

Great for little gifts too. They also stock Chalk paint, and after getting a full run down on it while I was there, I was so impressed with their knowledge and their willingness to share their knowledge, their creativity is infectious. They run courses on the chalk painting which includes all the techniques and the decoupage, I've signed up for one. It's three hours long. Not only does The Courtyard host this wonderful shop and classroom, they have delicious treats and tea and coffee available too, just so you can chill out in the peace and quite. I'm very impressed with this little find, and can not wait to go back for their classes. The staff and the owners are gorgeous, so chatty and helpful, and they are also home to rescue dogs and a peacock! A must visit!

Great veggie soups and nice outdoor space (4/5 Green Stars)…read more Forge Field has become a regular spot for lunch when in the area and it's always a pretty good experience. The soup is always vegetarian, by the way, and really constitutes and entire meal with you eat it with the bread. The soups usually pair a (very sustainable) root vegetable with a spice or herb, for example carrot and cumin or the excellent parsnip and thyme. The goat cheese sandwich is also highly recommended. Tarragon mushrooms on toast are a staple for mum - it's the one item from the breakfast menu that's available all day. I'm giving Forge Field 4 out of 5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, for these reasons: · Family-run business that makes its own bread, bakery items, etc. · Reasonably good selection of vegetarian options. Could have more on the vegan front but they will accommodate vegans with off-menu items, if desired. · Good supporter of local ingredients and businesses. · If you look to the left side of the parking lot, you'll see a new milk dispensing machine from Feckin Clogher Milk. You can purchase bottles and then come back and refill them over and over.
