Testimonials

Working at Killeavy Castle Estate is a highly rewarding and enjoyable experience. With access to the best ingredients and equipment, this is the perfect place for any chef to learn new skills, and techniques to push themselves as far as they can – under the extremely dedicated, talented, nurturing guidance of Darragh and Dario

Peter McAteer, Sous Chef

I began working here in September 2019 as a part-time night porter. Since then, I have progressed to become a duty manager, where I oversee the daily operations of the estate and provide support to department managers. In September 2023 I begin studying to become an Accounting Technician to support part of my current role, working within our accounts department. Working here has allowed me to progress as a person and learn valuable skills along the way.

Michael Sheppard, Duty Manager

I like working in the Kitchen at Killeavy Castle Estate as I am allowed to express myself through the food by being creative and experiencing new food and flavour combinations in a good working environment

Kim Cheung, Chef de Partie

I have 6 years’ of experience working in various kitchens, but the 1 year I have been at Killeavy Castle Estate has been the most valuable than any other year. The forever-changing menu teaches me new dishes, techniques, sauces and flavours. Darragh (Exec. Head Chef) always asks my opinion and has the answer to any question. It’s the most organised clean and well-run kitchen I have ever seen

Billy Dempsey, Chef de Partie

Our kitchen is a great working environment to learn in. I can be creative with my dishes and the team pushes me to be better with every new dish. Our farm-to-fork ethos is very unique as we have our own longhorn cattle, cheviot sheep and estate-grown fruit, vegetables and herbs. As a chef, this gives me confidence in the quality of food I am preparing and cooking with

Aisling Thomson, Chef de Partie
