“I very much look forward to visiting Adare Manor.  My passion is fine food, and during my fifteen years at Lucknam Park, I’ve been fortunate to have had some fantastic Chef’s work with me, and Mike Tweedie is right up there with the very best of them.  Mike’s talent was evident from the very beginning, but it was his total passion, dedication and commitment to his craft that I remember the most.  We have remained close friends since he left and I have followed his career with interest. It is a privilege to be invited to Adare Manor, and I very much look forward to cooking alongside Mike again.”
