Ballymaloe House menus are based on farm-to-fork principles. We serve simple, wholesome food using a combination of produce available from our Walled Garden, Ballymaloe Farm, and a variety of local producers.
Our restaurant menus are changing often, based on seasonal produce available from the garden that day, local fisherman and the orchard.
Ballymaloe House was founded on sustainable food principles, long before Farm to Fork or food miles were considered fashionable. Myrtle Allen served the ingredients available from her husband farm.
Ballymaloe House menus today are still based on farm-to-fork principles. We continue to serve simple, wholesome food using a combination of produce available from our Walled Garden, Ballymaloe Farm, and a variety of local producers.
