We reopen today and are delighted to welcome guests back to Ballymaloe House Hotel 😍🥰 🇮🇪

We reopen today and are delighted to welcome guests back to Ballymaloe House Hotel, with a wonderful new addition at the heart of the house, a brand-new, purpose-built kitchen.

For over sixty years, we have cooked with the seasons, using produce grown in our gardens, on the farm, and from local producers and with a deep respect for the ingredients. Now, that philosophy is matched by a kitchen designed to the highest modern standards, created to support our team and the next generation of chefs.

Custom-designed by Trevor O’Sullivan Cork Bar & Catering Equipment Ltd and manufactured in Italy by Marrone Custom Cooking the new space brings chefs, pastry, prep, and wash-up together in one open, beautifully organised layout, built for calm creativity and seamless service.

“My team and I are very excited to reopen today and to begin cooking in our newly rebuilt kitchen,” says Executive Head Chef Dervilla O’Flynn. “After years of reimagining the space, we have created a calm, beautifully organised kitchen that supports both chefs and front of house. It is the heart of the house, and a real milestone for our team.”

We look forward to welcoming you back. Book your table or stay: ballymaloe.ie

  • IT’S IN SEASON 💖

    Still obsessed with rhubarb. It’s in peak season now—tart, sturdy, and showing up in everything. We made a classic rhubarb tart today, no frills, just letting the fruit do its thing & omg it was delish!!

    Also practiced French omelettes (the kind where one second too long ruins everything) and made a fresh chicken stock that’s going to carry half the meals this week.

Unveiling the forced rhubarb.

Our students have been checking on the forced rhubarb, carefully grown in the dark to produce these tender, vibrant pink stems.

Forcing rhubarb encourages the plant to grow without photosynthesis, resulting in a sweeter flavour and delicate texture—perfect for everything from crumbles to compotes.

A true seasonal treat.
