Courtyard Cafe At Birr Castle

After a few pleasant hours wandering around Birr Castle Demesne it was nice to sit and relax and enjoy some good wholesome food at a reasonable price.

Went to have a coffee before entering Castle. Food not covered in particular the sausage rolls, flies all over them, when I asked if their was some other one in fridge was told no. I commented about the flies and was told there was a nest near by!!!. Beggars belief a cover couldn't be purchased. Extremely unhygienic. Wouldn't eat a thing here.

Nice coffee shop with a selection of hot and cold snacks to choose from at reasonable prices , attentive staff , spotless.

We had a snack here before visiting the gardens at Birr Castle; the food was good, and the service was very friendly.

The cafe at Birr Castle is nice, with very pleasant staff. They serve lovely scones and a variety of hot food, soup and sandwiches. The staff are helpful and explain what is on offer. This is a nice place to stop and get a quick bite to eat when visiting the stunning Birr Castle and observatory that has one of the oldest large telescopes built in the 1840’s and was the biggest in the World at the time.
