| Dinner:
Dinner is an elegant five course meal with a choice of Starter and Main
Course served at one sitting at around 8:15 each evening. The menu changes
daily and is dictated by the ripening of the produce in our vegetable
and fruit gardens and the recommendations of our local butcher and fishmonger.
The beauty of having a limited choice menu is that in season, you can
be assured that most of the vegetables on your plate were still growing
in the ground that same morning, and that your meat and fish are fresh.
On a day when Venison is served, we can boast that the distance from farm
to plate for 75% of the ingredients is about 200 metres! We would describe
the food at Coopershill as high quality Irish Country House cooking. Don’t
expect food piled in precarious pillars and as dazzling to the eye as
the Peacocks in the grounds. Rather you will find startling fresh flavours,
generous portions and the kind of simple elegance and style that never
go out of fashion. Examples of our menus can be found by clicking on the
links above.
Note: Dinner for non-residents is strictly by reservation only.
The Dining Room:
Guests are seated at individual antique tables set with Irish crystal
and family silver. The 14 foot high ceiling, 18th century family portraits
and antique furniture combined with the warmth of a family home make for
an altogether Grand setting.
Breakfast:
The bread, muesli, porridge, yoghurt and jams are all home made and they,
together with a fresh fruit salad, stewed apricots, prunes and a wide
range of traditional breakfast cereals, await you after a peaceful nights
sleep. In addition you will be offered freshly squeezed orange juice,
grapefruit juice, whole grapefruit, smoked Haddock and any combination
of a full Irish breakfast. Juices, coffee and breakfasts are all squeezed,
ground and cooked to order to guarantee freshness!
Afternoon Tea:
A secret blend of leaf tea together with homemade scones and cake is served
in the drawing room from 4:30 pm daily.
