Whether you're a local or visiting, our bar offers an unbeatable destination for authentic Irish cuisine with a modern twist.
A Taste of Heritage
At the core of our menu is Ballymaloe Relish—a secret recipe lovingly passed down through generations by the Allen family at Ballymaloe House in Cork, Ireland. This iconic condiment is more than just a topping; it's a culinary treasure that elevates every dish. Often described as “posh ketchup,” Ballymaloe Relish is a tangy, sweet, tomato-based condiment made with ripe tomatoes, sultanas, vinegar, sugar, and a blend of spices, creating a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity with a subtle depth of flavor. While Ballymaloe Relish can enhance any meal, it works incredibly well on our signature burgers. Imagine biting into a juicy burger, enhanced by the tangy, sweet, and subtly complex flavor of Ballymaloe Relish—a true celebration of Irish culinary heritage.
It pairs beautifully with sharp cheddar cheese and peppery rocket lettuce (arugula to you) on a simple beef burger, elevating it to something truly special.
Beyond the Burger
Ballymaloe Relish isn’t just for burgers; it transforms everyday dishes into extraordinary experiences:
- Hearty Classics: A spoonful can elevate shepherd’s pie, beef stew, or even a robust curry.
- Breakfast Boost: Drizzle it on scrambled eggs for a delightful start to your day.
- Snack Time: For the adventurous, we even offer crisps infused with this remarkable relish or have it with one of our irish cheese boards.
Great food brings people together, except when it comes to sharing Ballymaloe. A word of advice: if you live with roommates, guard your jar of Ballymaloe Relish carefully—once everyone gets a taste of its Irish heritage, it tends to vanish in no time!
