Vanilla Pod Kells
Share
Open Thursday - Saturday 5pm-10pm & 12.30pm-9.30pm Sunday
Although it is under the umbrella of the Headfort Arms, The Vanilla Pod is a self-contained contemporary restaurant in Kells that has earned itself regional national acclaim in its 10 plus years of operation. We pride ourselves on good quality, carefully sourced produce from local suppliers, using ingredients that are in season and offering specialties such as locally reared lamb and locally produced cheeses.
