When it comes to food, their Casey’s Bar and Bistro produces excellent modern cuisine, both Irish and International, using and best of local and seasonal produce. Having perhaps just done the Ring of Kerry you will be hungry so for dinner you can start thinking of delicious pan-fried scallops on ginger bread, followed maybe by monkfish with a chilli and coriander cream, or roast breast of Aylesbury duck on hot and sour cabbage. You might even fancy some of that great Ring of Kerry Lamb which has a superb flavour. They also do Thai Prawn and Crab Fish Cakes with a sweet Chill Jam & Fresh Lime Wedges, as well as Baked Flat Cap Mushroom Filled With Sneem Black Pudding, Fresh Parsley and Scallion Stuffing, sprinkled with Grated Parmesan Cheese. Maybe a big bowl of lovely mussels will do it for you or maybe it will be a great Crispy Shredded Confit Duck, Ribbon Vegetable Spring Roll with Pomegranate Dipping Sauce. They do excellent sirloing Angus steaks, whilst lamb cutlets come on colcannon mash with a rich port jus, or try their Irish stew - fantastic. Try their fantastic fish or stirfried duck. In summer, Irish Nights (not every night so do enquire when booking) are organised for diners and you may well get to see a Bodhran, a traditional Irish musical instrument, being played. So at The Brook Lane you will get the very best of chic modern hospitality with a bit of tradition thrown in for good measure.
