About
Welcome to StockHouse Restaurant, in the shadow of the magnificent Trim Castle. Our restaurant is the result of four people with an avid love of good food, craic and value for money. Born out of eating out in various establishments both in Ireland and abroad, the result "is not just a steakhouse but a restaurant that specialises in steak". Our aim is to provide our patrons with not just a memorable dining experience but a memorable night out! Head Chef John and his team have one goal in mind and that is to provide consistently beautiful food at every serving. With our front of house crew you are in safe hands and they will do their very best to make sure all your needs are met as promptly and satisfactorily as possible. Our love of the historical town of Trim and indeed our beautiful country is evident everywhere in our restaurant from the early years featuring 'The Yellow Steeple' and 'Trim Castle', through to the filming of Braveheart and the Glory Years of Meath Football ... Check out our walls, they make for both great reading and viewing!! Take time to have some banter with our floorstaff, they love nothing more but be warned, if you upset them too much you may find yourself confined to our in-house stocks!! And don't forget to keep an eye out for our resident mascot, 'Stocky' ... You'd never know when he might make an appearance. Enjoy, Carmel, Orla, Mick and Tom

This is not my first visit to the Stock House but it is my first review. I haven't been here for about 6 years as I live in California, but being back for the first time in ages my dad and I wanted to have a good night out with family, so we chose the Stock House. Prior to our visit we decided to read the reviews to see if anything had changed since we were last here. I always go to the 1 stars reviews first, as I find that more often than not they rarely actually have valid complaints, but when they do I take note - plus it can be quite amusing. My dad and I spent a half hour or so going through the lower end reviews; needless to say we weren't disappointed by the "quality" of some of the complaints. And, because we felt the majority of the complaints lacked legitimacy I though I would add our experience to redress the balance - although, the Stock House does a fine job of responding for themselves! We had a reservation for four at 7:45 p.m. We arrived early. I spoke to the host letting her know that we were early but, we would be grateful if we could be seated if possible. Note to those that complained about being early/late and having to wait for a table: your time management is your responsibility not theirs, and good manners go a long way. Even though the dinner rush was in full swing a table was prepared for us and we were seated after a minimal wait. I know that sometimes it won't be possible to accommodate such requests, but that's on me - the staff of any restaurant will do what they can to get you in the door but, they aren't wizards and can only work with the space available. The wait staff were overall quite young (or perhaps I am old), but that in no way took away from their performance. Every single one of them was pleasant, polite and professional - we did have to wait for one of the drinks we ordered but it wasn't the end of the world; a gentle reminder brought an immediate apology, and a cold pint of larger followed shortly thereafter. To the reviewers that complained about the staff - everyone has bad days and everyone has a first day on the job, is that really a reason to cast aspersions on anyone and everyone at the business? In sum, the staff were well trained, they were attentive and did an excellent job. The food was marvelous and we had no complaints. As to cost/value, I don't live in Ireland so my opinion is coloured by my own experiences. If I paid the same amount in Los Angeles for a meal for four, with drinks, for food of the quality we got I would think they had forgotten to charge for half of my bill. To those that thought it was overpriced - it is possible to view the menu and prices before going to the restaurant, thus avoiding any nasty surprises. In sum, the food was excellent, the staff was excellent, the value for money (in my opinion) was excellent. A restaurant with nearly 600 (at time of writing) 5 star review has to be worth checking out; as to the 23 or so 1 star reviews - I would take them with a grain of salt. While I have no doubt that some may have had a valid complaint at the time, the ratio of 5 star to 1 star speaks for itself. No, I don't know the owners; No, I didn't get my meal for free (although I am open to it!); No, I have no financial interest in the business. Check out the menu, understand the prices and pricing options, then go and have an enjoyable night out.

Went here with a party of 8, when i went the restaurant was busy so I was not expecting as good service as we received. I ordered the cajun chicken fettuccine and I asked for it to be made gluten free as I suffer from coeliac disease very badly. The staff were more than accommodating, the way it was made and presented was exceptional. Did not make me sick in the slightest they payed extra attention to my table just to ensure we were satisfied and we were beyond satisfied. I then got the strawberry pavlova for dessert and without having to mention a second time that I was gluten free they knew and went into the kitchen and said it to the chefs and, once again, it was exceptional. I could not recommend this place more, especially if you’re like me and find it difficult to eat somewhere safe!!

I can’t thank this restaurant enough for going over and beyond this evening and for their kindness and generosity by the staff and the lovely lady owner. We had brought a service user and she received her meal, coffee and tea for free! Thank you so much again for a wonderful evening. A very happy new year to you all 🥳 we will definitely be returning. Food was delicious too 😊

The night started out badly with us being placed alone in a far part of the restaurant with only a bunch very loud and drunk women nearby. We heard that there was good music playing, but because of these women we never got the chance to hear it. Our server took forever to come, and he gave us his recommendations. Some of my kids were hungrier, so we asked which item was the most filling, and he recommend the Shepards pie. He recommended for me the curry. The food took well over an hour to arrive, which is far too long, and then the Shepards pie was very small, especially compared to the other kids dishes, which were all smaller anyway. Not good kids portions, expensive and a complete ripoff. The curry wasn't that good as well.

We ate there last night, the food was reasonable, a bit overpriced for the quality and quantity but the service was diabolical. The vast majority of the waiting staff were late teens; it appeared that none of them had received even cursory, basic training in waiting on tables. We had to ask five times for water to be replenished, eventually going to the bar to get some, three times for a dessert menu, one of which arrived covered in sauce/gravy and when they did arrive we had to ask for spoons. It is not an appealing look to be served by a female waiter as she chews on gum.. The young staff were very polite, pleasant and eager to help but were hopelessly out of their depth. The lack of organisation, knowledge of the menu, how to present food was embarrassing. I don't blame the staff, I blame the management. I expressed my disappointment to the manager, who I had similar issues with twenty years ago when she was a manager in the nearby Franzini O'Brien's, her response " oh, some of them are only here a week ". Pathetic. If they were there since BC they would still be poor, why? Because they have not been trained. This is a recurring theme in the hospitality industry. Is it any wonder that customers are regularly frustrated? My advice? Spend your money elsewhere. IRestaurants and the catering industry are constantly telling the public how difficult it is to operate, perhaps they should listen to their customers about how hard it is to justify spending money in some of these establishments.

Dear Mr.Spellman , we are naturally disappointed that you did not enjoy your experience with us last night. We note you say our food offering is 'reasonable' if somewhat overpriced for the quality and quantity. This opinion was not shared by the other 195 guests that dined with us last night but perhaps it's just not to your taste, a point of note is before leaving you announced that the food was mediocre at best so for you to reflect overnight and upgrade it to reasonable is welcome indeed. We do apologise however if you were dissatisfied with the performance of a couple of our new staff who were on their 1st and 2nd night respectively as a trial prior to their leaving cert exams. I'm sure they will improve to the standards of our regular staff all of which get regular high praise for their professionalism. We are happy that you at least found them pleasant and eager. As regards a member of staff chewing gum we would absolutely agree with you and certainly don't condone or have seen before in our restaurant and it was addressed forthwith so we appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Regarding your opinion of one of our managers it in all honesty appears that this 'anger' is carried forward for 20 years from a previous night out , possibly the last night you were out given your opinion on current prices. Before departure you made your feelings known to our manager at the table which is fair enough but getting in her face as you did on the way out is also 'not a good look' as you phrase it. Anyway we trust we won't be 'annoying ' each other again or at least for another 20 years. Thank you for taking the time as you promised to have a go at us on TripAdvisor.

The restaurant was wedged with people to the point my husband and I were at shouting conversation level. A table of about 12 men upstairs and they were rowdy, loud and food being split all over the floor, nothing being done by Management. This was at 7pm on a Friday evening. I was charged €16 for a cocktail, the same cocktail I get whenever we go for dinner and I’ve never been charged more than €12 for, even in centre of Dublin. When raised with the server, I was given a lecture on the cost of 25mls of spirits. My husband got the wrong steak, ordered a 12oz fillet and he got an 8oz strip loin. The incorrect side orders came out. Portion sizes were shocking small for the price. I received no rice with my dinner but was still charged for it. No apology from management and no refund or discount. Would not recommend.

My husband and I had a wonderful experience at StockHouse on our recent trip to Trim for my 50th birthday. From the second we walked in through the doors, the staff were attentive and friendly, without being overpowering. Everything on the menu sounded delicious and it was difficult to choose what to order! We finally settled for ribeye and sea bass followed by cheesecake and pavlova, and they didn’t disappoint. We have many friends who visit Trim to play golf, and we will be recommending StockHouse to all of them!

The restaurant located in the centre of Trim has a nice ambiance inside, humorous decoration on the walls through posters and signs with lots of secluded areas. Our meals of salmon and prawns in white wine sauce, champ and choice of vegetables followed by sticky toffee pudding was excellent, well presented and very substantial. Good wine list at reasonable prices and very friendly staff. We enjoyed all aspects of our meal here.

Visiting Trim for the day, we were told this place was the best place in town by two separate people independent of each other so gave it a go. Ordered the slow cooked beef and champ dish and rib-eye steak dish with champ. The slow cooked beef was a couple of hours short of cooking and as such still tough in places and there must have been a butter shortage as the champ was quite dry. The Sirloin was cooked on a griddle that needed a clean as the meat had a burnt taste to it and a bitter aftertaste. Same issue with that as with the slow cooked dish. We have eaten some fabulous food in Ireland this last few days and unfortunately none of this was in the same class. On the plus side, the Guiness was good. Afraid this will have to class as a place to avoid as wouldn’t return here.

Me and my boyfriend visited this restaurant as its one of our favourites in Trim when we are down. However this time we left slightly disappointed. The new outdoor area is lovely, we must say. We ordered the chicken skewers as a starter and it was lovely, sauce and the chicken was fantastic. This made me more excited for the main course, however, I was let down. I ordered the chicken curry and I got 4,5 pieces of chicken, as I said, more chicken less veg. As my plate was covered in green beans, so much so I managed to fill a bowl of them! My boyfriend ordered Arriabbiata and was also left disappointed with his main, which is sad to write because the location; the staff and also the starters were so nice. We ordered dessert and a drink after and we were happy with these as they were up the standard we expected of the restaurant we know and love. We mentioned this to the waitress and the manager on the night and it was taken as feedback. We received the bill and it was 90 euro, which we were happy with. We said again about the chicken just to leave feedback, didn’t mind paying the cost of the meal however the offer of removing a dessert for the value of €4 was insulting rather than helping. We may have to reconsider if we return to the restaurant which as I said earlier is a shame because we do like the location and staff.

After reading reviews and speaking with our Trim B&B hosts we went to Stockhouse for their early bird dinner. Wow! The Brie crumbles for appetizer was sensational and my husband and I both chose the spicey brisket burger (mine naked, a great option). Please go there if you want a great meal with a fun, accommodating staff.

I have been blessed to eat around the world … African Countries (i.e., Uganda, Botswana), the East (i.e., Thailand, Viet Nam, Korea), Europe (i.e., Germany, France, England), and every state in the USA except Alaska. On vacation with my West Tennessee Family, our Ireland Tour Guide (deleted per Trip Advisor) suggested the Stock House Restaurant, 1 Emmet House, Finnegan's Way, Trim, Ireland. I ordered a simple steak with salad, potatoes, and mushrooms. I had wine. It was the best meal that I have ever had at a restaurant anywhere in the world. In the simplicity of the meal, the flavors were outstanding and the foods cooked / prepared to perfection. The ambiance and service matched the quality of the meal.

Visited in September and had a fabulous time! We were greeted by the manager and he was funny and welcoming. Our server was John, he was really lovely and friendly. The food we were served was delicious! Mussels, Wings and steak which was cooked perfectly served with stunning wine made for an outstanding night. Pavlova for dessert is my recommendation. Prices were reasonable, atmosphere was great, staff very friendly. We really enjoyed our night! Thanks to all the team on shift on Thursday 16th.

Almost since First Lockdown a year ago, I have been having my Sunday meal delivered weekly - the Food is absolutely gorgeus, always piping hot and on time. Being over 70, and concerned in case I catch Covid, I do not go out much any more so having my Sunday dinner delivered gives me something to look forward to. My appreciation to Mick and all the team for everything.
