Even if you're not touring Slane Castle, don't miss a meal at its bar. Decorated with framed photos of rock stars who've performed at the castle's concerts, it utilises produce from its own organic farm in breakfast specials (eg avocado and Dunany crab eggs Benedict), burgers, cider-steamed mussels, and Boyne Valley charcuterie boards with local cheeses, artisan crackers and homemade chutney.
Higher-end dining is available at the castle's grand Gandon Room from Thursday to Saturday evenings (mains €18 to €39.50) and at Sunday lunch (two/three courses €30/36.50).
