The passion for great food must run in the family as Greg , who has worked in several Michelin starred restaurants in the UK & Ireland, is the grandnephew of legendary chef Sean Kinsella of the famous Mirabeau Restaurant in Dublin. At the Brook Inn, Greg brings a truly high standard of cooking to the kitchen and sends out an even higher standard of food.

Their fresh ham hock terrine was on offer with fennel, tarragon mayonnaise, balsamic ciabatta and a radish & apple salad whilst their spicy buffalo wings were being served with a lime and coriander dip. I was immediately attracted to their Thai style fishcakes which arrived at our table dressed with rocket and a red pepper salad and accompanied with a tasty lime, chilli and coriander dip. My dining partner chose the pulled shoulder of pork spring roll with coriander, mango lime & apple salsa and a sweet & sour red pepper puree and was delighted with her selection.
