The Snailbox - Restaurant, Bar & Accommodation
Review
The Snailbox is an irresistible Restaurant Bar and Accommodation, with a selection of 6 bedrooms perfectly placed near Ashbourne for exploring Co Meath, Dublin and even Northern Ireland. One of only about twenty Irish Pubs I would truly call Iconic. It delivers atmosphere by the bucketful. More than 8500 donated caps ripple across the ceilings, where if you donate a cap, you will receive a Snailbox Cap in return. Quirky memorabilia (who the owner has collected over the years) turns every corner into a conversation piece. Food is the heartbeat of the Snailbox, a very confident kitchen turning out generous flavour-forward plates that suit every palate, from family lunches, date nights and road -trip stopovers alike. We have become a destination venue you won’t want to miss. The bedrooms are thoughtfully furnished, spotless and comfortable, proving you can enjoy character without sacrificing a good night sleep for your budget. Owner Philip Foster and his Family run a fantastic operation, with exceptional service that delivers every time. Come for dinner, stay for the stories and leave feeling you've experienced something much bigger than just an Irish Restaurant. This is not just a joyful Meath landmark, it is steeped in history through and through, and a Gem you won’t ever forget.
