Welcome to The Strawberry Field Pancake Cottage

Our pancake cottage is over 200 years old and has been run by Peter & Margaret Kerssens since 1997 and was passed down to their daughters, Yosta and Mayra in 2021.

The old dormer cottage was originally a family farmhouse, located on a sidetrack on the famous Ring of Kerry overlooking Slievaduff Valley. The area is a favourite with both tourists and locals alike.

Peter & Margaret turned the cottage into a little café/restaurant creating the space themselves as they have a great love for cooking and creating things. Keeping the traditional Irish cottage-style which makes it a cosy and homely restaurant, with a welcoming wood burning stove but with modern facilities.

Dogs are welcome to our outdoor seating once on a leash.

The cottage has its own well, so there is no chloride in the water system, just pure natural filtered spring water. This adds to the delicious taste of our coffees and teas.

The little art & craft shop is another aspect of “The Strawberry Field”. The crafts are all by local artists.

On The Menu

Along with Pancakes there is also Dutch apple-pie available, which is home-baked using a traditional recipe from Holland using cinnamon and sugar. There are homemade scones as well, deliciously served with jam, butter and freshly whipped cream.

But why not start with a lovely homemade soup of the day which is always vegetable based and suitable for vegans and vegetarians. The soup of the day is served with freshly baked artisan local bread, from “Harringtons” Kenmare. There is also gluten free bread available on request.
