Welcome to our “Tipp the Dish” initiative by Tipperary Food Producers Network

As a Network, we enjoy very much working with local food service businesses includings cafes, restaurants, guesthouses, hotels, and are so appreciative of the local support from these businesses. As a way of giving back to these businesses, we plan to create a variety of videos in the coming months, showcasing what local chefs and restauranteurs can create, in terms of simple cooking, using quality, local produce that is on our doorstep. This initiative is called “Tipp the Dish”. It was one of our members, James O’Donoghue from Longways Cider, now recently rebranded as Legacy Cider, who came up with the concept along with other members.

Some of these Tipperary ingredients can be found within our Taste of Tipperary Hamper. We are delighted to work with Hampers & Co, another Tipperary company who can distribute this hamper anywhere in Ireland or internationally.

The Horse & Jockey Hotel

The Horse and Jockey Hotel has a range of dining options to suit your tastes and mood, from afternoon tea in The Bakery at the Horse and Jockey to hearty steaks by the fire in The Enclosure Bar, to A La Carte in Silks Restaurant. Local suppliers are used and when possible goods are made in-house by our team of chefs in our main kitchen, pastry & bakery.

Here at the Horse & Jockey we are passionate about local food and produce. The Egan family has had a local knowledge of the best sources in Tipperary and continue to hold strong relationships with these Tipperary Food Producers. Some of them have gone on to global success which enriches our values and pride in the choice we have here in county Tipperary.

Mikey Ryan’s Bar & Kitchen

The concept for Mikey Ryan’s Bar & Kitchen is for a distinctly Irish gastropub with a cooking from scratch ethos in our restaurant and a focus on local, seasonal ingredients of high quality, organic wherever possible. Working directly with local farmers and artisan producers, Mikey Ryan’s offers its local and visiting guests a true ‘Taste of Tipperary’..

The menu is founded on the culinary principles of freshness, seasonality and a focus on quality ingredients prepared with care to enhance their flavour. Expect food that conjures up feelings of home, nostalgia and comfort but that bit more delicious. It’s not such a long way to Tipperary after all…

The Cottage Loughmore

The Cottage Loughmore serves local foods and produce. It is managed and was set up by the local community. The Cottage Loughmore has tearooms which are housed in one of the oldest buildings in the village. It is an authentic old cottage with a half door open to greet you. A visit is like stepping back in time.

Loughmore is a small village nestled on the banks of the River Suir in North Tipperary and is steeped in history. It has a 13th century abbey church, a 14th century castle, a mill built in 1842, historical burial chambers, picnic area and a duck sanctuary. All these attractions are within walking distance of The Cottage Loughmore. It was winner of Irish Times Best Tearooms in Ireland and the Tipperary Chamber Award for Hospitality and Tourism.

Cloughjordan House

At Cloughjordan House, everything is home-grown or locally sourced. Their veg is pulled from their vegetable patch fresh, their sausages come from their very own free-range pigs, and also are great supporters of the Tipperary Food Producers.

In the kitchen, the chefs prepare seasonal menus with only the freshest and most delicious produce, meaning each dish from breakfast to dinner is packed with flavour and flair.

For our “Tipp the Dish” series, Chefs Claire and Lucia put together two very tasty recipes: Halloween Hash, and Ricotta & Blueberry Pancakes.
