Garryvoe Hotel, Castlemartyr, Co. Cork x 2 nights
When you have the best and freshest ingredients in the world you do not mess with them. And at the Garryvoe Hotel, they are lucky enough to have them all on their doorstep.
Their seafood comes from the pier at Ballycotton and if you are up early enough you will see the boats landing in every morning. Their meat comes from all local farms through Kelly’s Family Butchers up the road in Killeagh. And their vegetables, well, you only have to take a trip to the renowned Midleton Farmer’s Market on a Saturday to see the selection from the local growers, why would they go anywhere else? That is why they always have a fresh prawn cocktail on the menu, it is why their fresh fish nearly leaps off the plate and it is why people travel for miles for steaks the way nature intended them (it is also why if you ask for new potatoes in December, you will not get them!) Whether you choose to eat in the hotel restaurant, the Lighthouse Bar & Grill or snack in the comfort of the Cave Bar, their head chef Kevin O’Sullivan and his team will deliver three simple things: Flavour, Freshness & Simplicity.
