Where to eat and drink in West Kerry
Nobody comes to the Dingle Peninsula for fine dining every night, and nobody needs to: the villages around our homes feed you well, in the way that matters after a beach day. This is where we send our own guests, and where we go ourselves.
The local list
CK’s Diner, Castlegregory
The village takeaway and diner, and a bit of an institution: fish and chips, burgers and the kind of portions that make sense after a day in the surf. If there is a queue, that is the recommendation.
Blow-In Coffee, Castlegregory
Proper coffee in the village, the morning stop before the beach. The name is a Kerry joke: a blow-in is anyone who arrived less than a generation ago.
Beach Box, Castlegregory
Coffee and snacks by the water on the Maharees road, exactly where you want them when you come off the sand.
Spillane’s Bar, Maharees
Bar food out on the Maharees spit, a short walk from the beaches. Busy on summer evenings, and busy for a reason.
The Filling Station, Camp
Café on the main road through Camp, the natural pit stop between Tralee and Castlegregory, and handy to our Camp cottages.
O’Connor’s Bar, Cloghane
The pub at the foot of Mount Brandon, where walkers finish the Faha route. Open fire, local seafood and no hurry about anything.
A night out in Dingle
For the full evening, seafood, restaurants and live music in the pubs, drive over to Dingle town, about half an hour from Castlegregory over the Conor Pass or around by Annascaul. Book ahead in summer; the town is small and everyone has the same idea.
Self-catering, after all
Every one of our homes has a full kitchen, and half the pleasure of a week here is cooking what the peninsula produces: fish from the boats, local butchers in the villages and supermarkets in Tralee and Dingle for the big shop. Ask us and we will point you to what is open the week you stay.
