The Roast House is amongst a number of Kerry restaurants going to the ‘All-Ireland Restaurant Awards’.
A TRALEE restaurant is gearing up to take on the rest of the country at the ‘All Ireland Restaurant Awards’ in Dublin on May 25.
The Roast House will be the local representation for the town after it won the ‘Best Casual Dining Award’ in Kerry in the Munster Regional contest back in April.
It will be joined by other winning restaurants from all around the county (see list below).
These winners are now progressing to the national part of the competition where they will each receive a mystery guest inspection.
They will be assessed on their menu, customer service, and the overall dining experience from the moment the booking is made until the customer receives the bill.
“Interest in the Irish Restaurant Awards has grown year on year, and as our awards are the only in Ireland to have a Mystery Judge element, we can really stand over the entire process. The awards are a celebration in the best of Irish cuisine and recognise the hard work that restaurateurs put in all year round,” said Adrian Cummins, Chief Executive of the Restaurants Association.
