Mount Juliet Estate is delighted to announce the launch of its summer menu at the newly refurbished outdoor Terrace at The Hound restaurant.

The new renovation is cleverly designed, to suit Ireland’s ever-changing weather, meaning guests can dine alfresco in comfort, whilst enjoying the breath-taking surrounding landscape and spectacular flower wall designed by Lamber De Bie.
