The Secret Diner

About The Secret Diner

Ashbourne parents get an easy run here: a kids' menu and high chairs mean you can arrive with a toddler and not think twice, and step-free access saves the buggy-folding routine at the door. Free parking is a genuine relief when you're unloading small people and all their gear. Gluten-free options are available if someone in your group needs them, and there's outdoor seating for when everyone needs air. Noise sits at a moderate level, so a chatty table won't stand out — booking ahead is worth it.
