To celebrate winning Bord Bia's 2026 Best Supporter of Irish Food & Drink Producers Award at the recent Georgina Campbell Irish Food & Hospitality Awards, The Station House Hotel is offering the opportunity to win a short break for two in the beautiful Boyne Valley region. And you won’t find stronger supporters of Irish food and drink producers than here at the Slattery family’s boutique hotel, where an old railway junction that’s been closed since 1963 has been transformed into one of County Meath’s most delightful places to stay and eat. Set among mature gardens, the old railway buildings give the hotel a unique sense of place – and the food extends that connection to the surrounding countryside and to Irish producers further afield. The Station House has always had a well-earned reputation for good food, since Chris and Thelma Slattery opened the hotel in 1984 and that tradition is now continued by their daughters, Denise and Suzanne. Seasonal fare from the region is showcased with pride, and they love nothing better than sharing the local food story through their menus and website, as well as their enthusiastic staff. At Signal Restaurant and throughout the hotel, Irish ingredients are not just decorative name-checks but the foundation of the kitchen. They know that supporting producers is about more than buying locally when convenient. It means building relationships, giving recognition to quality, communicating provenance and giving small producers the consistent business that allows them to flourish. The Station House does this while remaining warmly accessible: a family-run hotel where weddings, celebrations, short breaks and everyday meals all become opportunities to showcase Irish food and drink – and that always adds a generous serving of enjoyment. It’s an ever-evolving story and this charming Blue Book hotel is always a pleasure to visit.
