Meet the Makers: Local Heroes of Taste
Our kitchen doesn’t just focus on flavour – it champions provenance. Here are just a few of the passionate producers we’re proud to work with:
Ballymore Organics, Ballymore Eustace
This family-run farm mills heritage grains to produce stoneground flour packed with flavour and nutrition. Used in our breads and pastry bases, their flour helps our bakers craft the perfect morning spread or dessert finale.
Jane Russell’s Handmade Sausages, Kilcullen
Renowned across Ireland, Jane Russell’s sausages are made with Irish pork and a dedication to traditional methods. You’ll find them on our breakfast menu – hearty, honest and full of local character.
Carlow Farmhouse Cheese
Although just over the border, Carlow Farmhouse Cheese supplies us with smooth, flavourful cheeses that round out many of our dishes. From mature cheddar to creamy brie-style wheels, these handcrafted cheeses bring elegance to your cheeseboards and salads.
Ballymore Farm Vegetables
We source a rotating range of seasonal vegetables from growers across Kildare. Whether it’s new potatoes in spring or kale in autumn, our chefs embrace the rhythm of the local harvest.
Why Local Matters
Choosing local produce means more than supporting neighbours – it enhances everything we serve:
- Fresher Ingredients: Shorter travel time from farm to fork means peak flavour and nutritional value.
- Sustainability: Lower transport emissions and reduced packaging keep things greener.
- Community Connection: Every meal supports regional businesses and celebrates Irish craftsmanship.
Our culinary team regularly visits suppliers, learning firsthand about their techniques and harvesting practices. These connections inform every plate that leaves our kitchen, from an indulgent date-night dinner to a relaxed lunch with friends.
Behind the Kitchen Doors: Creativity Meets Quality
The work doesn’t stop once the ingredients arrive. Our chefs use these local treasures to craft innovative dishes with a sense of place. Expect menus that change with the seasons and showcase the best that Kildare has to offer.
hether you’re tucking into a tender Irish steak, enjoying our chef’s soup of the day or exploring our plant-based options, you’ll notice the difference that care, creativity and top-quality produce make.
