a taste of killruddery
Our Garden to Table menus use produce from our sustainably-run, bio-diverse working farm. We raise lamb, pork and beef here on the estate. Vegetables and cut flowers are grown in our Walled Garden, all using earth-conscious methods. We keep hens for eggs and there are bees making honey on the land. Where we do not grow something ourselves, we seek out the very best ingredients from local producers.
We provide a range of set menus from nibbles to feasts using Killruddery’s home-grown seasonal produce, prepared by our Head Chef, Niall O’Sullivan + team.
Our menus are complimented with a fully stocked bar; including botanical cocktails and mocktails, locally brewed beer and fine wines.

Killruddery offered our client a truly unique experience. We
hosted over 60 home grown Irish workshops throughout the full
estate over course of two days, taking advantage of the
beautiful surroundings such as watercolor painting classes in
the gardens, foraging vegetables in the farmlands and fencing
by the ponds. The event wrapped up with a stunning Midsummer
themed event in the perfect setting of the courtyard.Anthony and his team were incredibly accommodating to the
logistically heavy event. Allowing us to create a once in a
lifetime memorable event for our client.
Dan, June 2022
Everything was truly perfect and I can't thank you enough for working with me to make it that way. Your staff was also incredible - so friendly and helpful and we love how much they got into the event! So many members of my family/friends commented how great they were and how much they loved the evening.
