LUX Restaurant & Bar Awards 2019

Page 26 www.lux-review.com LUX Restaurant & Bar Awards 2019 Welcoming both visitors and local guests alike, Berehaven Lodge Restaurant aims to use fresh local products wherever possible to showcase what the peninsula has to offer. Grace highlights this focus in detail in her opening comments. “Here at Berehaven Lodge Restaurant our policy is to use fresh locally sourced ingredients wherever possible, to showcase the region. Our menu has been created to reflect the freshest ingredients mainly from the West Cork region with a focus on the Beara Peninsula. As a result of this policy our menu changes with the seasons reflecting the various and sometimes unusual items that we can obtain from our suppliers. “Due to our location we use the freshest fish and shellfish caught locally and enjoy a personal relationship with many local fishermen. Castletownbere is Ireland’s largest white fish port and a strong relationship with the local fishing boats ensures we always have the freshest fish and shellfish, aiming to have it brought from ocean to fork on the same day. We aim to ensure our wine list is high quality and reasonably priced and that our staff are trained in both wine knowledge and food pairings. The customer deserves to know that their server has tasted every dish and every wine and can converse and advise knowledgeably. Our supplier list features many local artisan products including Milleens Cheese, Gubben Bacon, Michael Moore Fruit & Veg, Beara Ocean Gin, The Laughing Oyster, Bere Island, Toons Bridge Dairy, O’Neills Irish Atlantic Sea Salt.” Situated 4km east of Castle- townbere on the magnificent Beara Peninsula in County Cork, Berehaven Lodge Rest- aurant offers its guests stunning views combined with sumptuous fresh dishes and a warm Irish welcome. We invited Grace Delaney to talk us through the establishment and its dedication to offering guest the freshest, most delicious selection of delicacies in the area.
