West Cork Hotel has one of the 10 Great Hotel Managers in Ireland

Huge congratulations to The West Cork Hotel's very own Neil Grant, who has been singled out as one of the '10 Great Hotel Managers' in the much coveted Bridgestone Guides that are co-authored by John and Sally McKenna (Bridgestone 100 Best Restaurants in Ireland and Bridgestone 100 Best Places to Stay in Ireland). Neil is pivotal in what happens at The West Cork Hotel and has been involved in bringing many fantastic events to the hotel in west cork, including The Celtic Cook Off, which took place during last year's A Taste of West Cork Food Festival. So successful was this event that we are pleased to announce at this early stage the return of this event again this year at our hotel in county Cork.

As like last year, The Celtic Cook Off will take place as part of the A Taste of West Cork Food Festival and the date for the Cook Off confirmed as 12th September 2012. We are also pleased to annouce that the following three top Celtic Chefs have already confirmed their involvement; Shaun Hill of The Walnut Tree in Wales, Jack Stein son of Rick Stein representing Cornwall and Nick Nairn, BBC Celebrity Chef from Scotland.
