The award also highlights the consistent skills and expertise of a hotel Head Chef’s prowess as well as their care and attention to quality ingredients. The AA Hospitality inspector said: “My visit to The Edge was a pleasure, revealing a fine balance between formality and friendliness.
“For Rosette Awards it is the food that is key; I particularly enjoyed the fact that so much of the menu is based on quality produce from the region, cooked with care and flair.
All of the dishes were very accurately cooked, with great fresh flavours. Indeed, it was difficult to choose from the well compiled menu, featuring so much of what is best in the larder that is the North West.”
The merit which Head Chef Gordon Smyth has achieved for the hotel highlights the fine dining establishment becoming one of the 49 restaurants across Ireland, which is worthy of two Rosettes.
Gordon Smyth, Head Chef of Redcastle Hotel & Spa stated: “It is an honour to receive a second AA Rosette for The Edge Restaurant. The award reflects the skills and diligence that myself and my staff dedicate towards making every meal that we make to the highest standard.
“We will continue to follow the golden standard which the AA sets for restaurants across the UK and Ireland and I aim to innovate and invent new dishes in the future, to create a memorable experience for our diners’ visit.”
Clement Gaffney, Harcourt Collection Operations Manager comments: “Harcourt Collection are delighted with the Redcastle Hotel & Spa catering team’s achievement. Gordon has continued to create a level of excellence for the popular restaurant for guests and visitors.
Clement added: “Gordon has set an incredibly high standard in his kitchen to deliver food which is exceptionally prepared and he has taken consideration in creating The Edge menu, which is open-minded to a range of palates.”
