Christmas at CLIFF
Cliff at Lyons - A Winter Wonderland in the Irish Countryside
A Holiday Haven Just 30 Minutes from Dublin City
Festive Flavours Served with Finesse
At The Mill Restaurant, Christmas dining is a sensory delight. Warm up beside the roaring fire as you savour seasonal menus that celebrate Ireland’s finest produce — each dish a tribute to the craft and creativity of our culinary team. Sip on a warming winter cocktail or a rich hot chocolate at Lyons Den Bar, where the glow of the fireplace invites you to unwind in style.
And for a leisurely Sunday, nothing captures the season’s spirit quite like our Sunday Lunch at The Mill Restaurant. Begin with artisanal breads before our signature beef trolley arrives tableside — perfectly cooked and served with all the trimmings. Finish with a delightful array of desserts, from silky chocolate fondants to traditional puddings, and linger a little longer with coffee or mulled wine by the fire.
