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 menus are changing often, based on seasonal produce available from the garden, the orchard and local suppliers.
Ballymaloe House was founded on sustainable food principles, long before farm-to-fork or food miles were considered fashionable. When Myrtle Allen started her restaurant, the ingredients used to cook were from her husband farm.
Today, we are still renowned for our farm-to-fork culinary practices, and continue to serve simple, wholesome food using a combination of seasonal produce grown in our walled garden, reared on the farm, and from a variety of local producers and suppliers.
