We’re a very small, local business here at The Grounds in Kilmore Quay, and every single day we pour ourselves into creating the best food, service, and experience we can. Nothing about what we do is mass-produced, automated, or backed by big budgets. It’s all real people, real work, and real passion.

We don’t have investors or a large company behind us. What we do have is a team of incredible people who show up every day and give everything they have — treating this place like their own, caring about every plate of food, every pastry, every guest who walks through the door.

And the truth is, like so many small local businesses, this season matters more than ever.
Your support isn’t just appreciated — it’s genuinely vital. Every lunch, every dinner, every visit helps us keep our doors open, keep our team employed, and keep our little community hub alive.

We know we can’t compete with supermarkets or big brands on price. But we can offer something they simply can’t:
Freshness, craftsmanship, and honest quality.
Our breads and pastries are baked fresh daily in our own bakery. Our ingredients come from local suppliers — so local that we could show you exactly where your fish or eggs came from in minutes. That kind of authenticity is rare, and we’re proud of it.

We serve lunch Monday to Friday, weekend lunches, and dinner on Friday and Saturday evenings — all made with real care by a team who truly love what they do.

If you’re already supporting us, thank you — sincerely. It means more to us than you know.
And if you haven’t visited yet, we hope you’ll choose to support a small business this season. It makes an enormous difference.

Eat better. Eat fresher. Support local.
