Faithlegg House Hotel
Tucked away in the scenic County Waterford countryside, Faithlegg House Hotel offers more than just luxury accommodation—it’s a haven for food lovers, with a focus on locally sourced ingredients. At the heart of Faithlegg’s dining experience is a commitment to regional flavours and seasonal Irish produce, bringing the best of the area directly to your plate.
From the refined Roseville Rooms Restaurant to the more relaxed Aylward Lounge, the menus on offer highlight seasonal Irish ingredients. Faithlegg partners with local suppliers like Knockanore Cheese, Viking Cider, and Flahavan’s oats, ensuring every dish reflects the quality and heritage of the region.
Executive Chef Jenny Flynn explains, “Keeping our menus local and seasonal is at the core of the food ethos here in Faithlegg. I am lucky to be surrounded by such a high standard of produce carefully cultivated by the suppliers I have formed very important relationships with. I choose local not just because it is sustainable but because it really is the best. It’s a pleasure to work with people who are so passionate and committed, and I count myself lucky to have our kitchen based in a region where the quality is unparalleled. We are, after all, a circular economy and to support each other is mutually beneficial—when they grow, we grow!”
What sets Faithlegg apart isn’t just the quality of its food but the stories behind the ingredients. The hotel’s connections with local farmers, fishmongers, and artisan producers mean that each meal celebrates the richness of the region. The kitchen doesn’t rely on global imports; it champions the produce that’s just a stone’s throw away, adding depth to your dining experience.
For example, if you’re indulging in their Irish beef, you can be confident it’s sourced from trusted local suppliers like Dawn Meats. The seafood dishes, too, are a highlight—particularly when you know the catch has been sourced sustainably from the nearby coast. Pair this with a carefully curated wine or local craft beverage, and the connection between plate and place becomes even clearer.
There’s also a special quirkiness to some of Faithlegg’s offerings. The menus, while refined, don’t shy away from putting a twist on traditional Irish fare. Expect familiar ingredients presented with a fresh perspective, yet always grounded in local heritage.
In a time when the concept of “buying local” has never been more important, Faithlegg is a shining example of what can be achieved when businesses prioritise their local economy and food heritage. It’s not just about the food; it’s about supporting a network of suppliers, keeping traditions alive, and celebrating the best of what Ireland has to offer. Whether you’re a guest or simply stopping by for a meal, Faithlegg offers an authentic taste of the region with every bite.
