Kitchen Philosophy

Kitchen Philosophy
At Longueville Guests may savour the freshest produce from the estate and surrounding areas, in original culinary creations cooked by chef and patron William O'Callaghan and his team in this renowned kitchen.

William trained under Master Chef Raymond Blanc at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, a two-Michelin-star restaurant where the menu is described as having ‘a twist of imaginative genius’. William has brought that twist to Ireland’s south-western corner, with meat and game from the estate's farm such as woodland pork, Longueville lamb, woodcock, snipe, fresh salmon from the Blackwater River, Longueville bees honey, vegetables, fruits, herbs and oriental greens come from the three-acre walled kitchen garden on the estate. At Longueville guests can rest assured that they are getting the freshest ingredients with a menu that promotes a field to fork policy. In one word "Provenance". Even our water comes from our own wells. Only the extensive New and Old World wine list is drawn from farther afield.

We also offer imaginative alternatives to Vegetarians & Vegans and will happily accommodate with a little notice guests with special dietary requirements such as diabetics, gluten free diets and guests with food allergies.
