As part of the latest Friends of Pichet event, Chef Liam Finnegan from Ashford Castle joins Chef Harry Quinn to present a collaborative tasting menu that highlights the best of Ireland; from locally sourced produce to seasonal ingredients, freshly picked from Ashford Castle’s organic kitchen garden. This exclusive culinary event will offer guests a rare opportunity to experience an extraordinary six-course tasting menu crafted by two of Ireland’s most talented chefs.
Ashford Castle
Ashford Castle, Ireland’s first and only Forbes Five-Star hotel, stands proudly on the shores of Lough Corrib in County Mayo. Once home to the Guinness family, the 800-year-old estate spans 350 acres of woodland and gardens. Following a meticulous restoration by Red Carnation Hotels, Ashford Castle continues to set the global standard for luxury hospitality, celebrating ten years since its grand reopening in 2015.
Chef Liam Finnegan:
Hailing from the coastal town of Carlingford, in County Louth, Liam Finnegan has had a life long love of food and cooking. From growing vegetables in his childhood back garden, baking brown bread in his grannys kitchen, to studying culinary arts in Dundalk Institute of Technology, Liam says his upbringing has had a huge influence on his approach as a chef, with a love for bringing a homely twist to his meals.
Leading the culinary direction at Ashford Castle since 2023, Finnegan is known for his refined take on modern Irish cuisine, shaped by years spent in some of the UK and Ireland’s most distinguished kitchens. His dishes are renowned for their depth of flavour, precision, and respect for locally sourced produce – values that align perfectly with Pichet’s own philosophy.
Speaking ahead of the pop-up event, Ashford Castle’s Chef Liam Finnegan said: “What excites me most about this collaboration is the shared respect we all have for Irish ingredients. It’s about letting great produce speak for itself, and when chefs with the same passion come together, something special happens. I can’t wait to bring a taste of the West and Ashford Castle to Dublin and create an evening that’s all about craft, connection, and flavour.”
