The Donkey Shed - Ashbourne

Great service, accommodating staff really nice vibe. Great outdoor area for little ones with animals. Antique shop vegetable shop on site.

Visited today with our 17 month old twins, staff in the cafe were so accommodating and friendly and made dining with two toodles very comfortable. They were quick to prepare our food which we really appreciated. The food was really tasty and great quality. After lunch, we bought some carrots in the shop and visited the animals. All in all a really lovely afternoon spent there and will be back

I went to this restaurant in the morning and found it to be very peaceful. The parking area is large. The employees were incredibly welcoming and kind, radiating lots of positivity and smiles. The food was scrumptious and the portions were generous. The service was quick.

Today, we ordered fresh cod and chips at the restaurant. Unfortunately, the batter on the cod was thick and undercooked, resulting in a soggy middle. The chips were overcooked and resembled fries. Another person in our group ordered chicken goujons, which were also coated in a thick breadcrumb batter that was hard as a rock, making them inedible. Overall, our dining experience was very disappointing and we found the prices to be too high.

The soup is magnificent, the dishes are delicious. The ambiance is very inviting. I have had lunch here multiple times, the serving sizes are generous, and the staff is always kind and attentive.
