Trim

About the restaurant

Our story: The StockHouse is result of four people with an avid love of good food, good times & good value. Having both eaten out and working in various establishments both in Ireland and abroad, and having spoken about opening our own restaurant on many a night out it finally came to be when Mick and Orla approached Tom and Carmel about the possibility of opening a place of our own. They had been watching the building for quite a while and when it became available they decided to act and so our partnership was formed and StockHouse was born....

Dead Centre Brewing

Brewery

Glassan

About the restaurant

Dead Centre is not a faceless corporation…milking the beer industry for all it’s worth. Instead, we’re a tight knit crew that relies on friends, family, colleagues and other breweries to create a product that we can truly be proud of.

Fresh, flavoursome and (wherever possibly) local ingredients are what give our beer it’s character. Cutting corners here is not an option at Dead Centre Brewing. We believe you get out what you put in…so only the best goes in.

The dead centre restaurant is a lovely venue with beautiful views of the Shannon ...the food is excellent...the buttermilk goujons are to die for ...big portions also ..the wine is a bit expensive and can bring the bill up a bit too much ...but other than that I would highly recommend it ...I go there often 😊

Top-notch restaurant! The food was delicious – the beet salad with chicken was fresh and full of flavor, and the well-done beef burger was perfectly seasoned. Great service and a pleasant atmosphere. Highly recommend!
