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....

Really enjoy the cooking, mains were so moorish. My lamb was cooked exactly as I like and my husband really loved the pork. Our sides were great, carrots and potatoes. The starters were not too bad however, the burrata was replaced with whipped goats cheese, the prawn dish was ok. We wanted the duck spring rolls unfortunately all gone. The lemon possett was so good, the wine we picked out was the pinot Grigio. I didn’t like it as much as my husband it was a little flat on fruit notes. Good vibe at restaurant and it was busy. Second time visiting.

Roundwood
About the restaurant
Opened under new ownership in December 2023, we are located adjacent to our existing Roundwood Stores bakery and artisan food store. Come and enjoy good food, wine, craft beer, and log fires in the beautifully restored 1820’s Coach House.
The pub is open midday until late, Thursday to Sunday, for walk-ins and reservations.
The menu is slightly more casual (as are some of the tables) but the room is cozy and the experience the same.
The restaurant is open midday for lunch and 5pm for dinner, walk-ins or reservations available.

We look forward to welcoming you.

About the restaurant
An exciting new restaurant based in the heart of Naas, Co. Kildare. This is, as its name suggests, a neighbourhood restaurant — somewhere to relax and enjoy creative and delicious, flavour-driven, produced by previous Bib Gourmand achieved Head Chef Gareth Naughton and his team, and drinks in an elegantly easy-going setting. We aim to source and produce everything possible, right here in Ireland.
