Our Food Philosophy and Our Head Chef


“At Liss Ard we measure the distance our food has travelled in metres, not miles”.

At Liss Ard we source locally to deliver a local, personalised food experience. We take pride in our choice of the finest ingredients West Cork has to offer. Our Head Chef Cliodhna McCarthy puts together daily menus based on the freshest seasonal produce available.

Cliodhna can meet with guests individually to discuss favourite foods, recipes and ingredients so that individual and special dietary preferences are catered for. With a maximum guest capacity of 30, we like to think that being able to engage with Cliodhna in this way is akin to having your own private chef.

Following a delicious customised breakfast served at the time of your preference, you can spend the day looking forward to the experience of dining at Liss Ard.

As an old Country Estate we try to emulate the meal experiences of a bygone age. Depending on numbers, meals are served at an elegant communal table with conversation and discussion a key accompaniment to each meal. We firmly believe good food is enhanced through good company.

Guests who are walking, biking, boating, or simply relaxing in our gardens, have the option of a gourmet picnic hamper to enjoy during their outdoor pursuits. Al fresco meals on the terrace of our Country House can also be arranged, weather permitting in the Spring and Summer months.

Cliodhna joined Liss Ard as Head Chef in January 2011. Ballymaloe trained and an experienced manager in her family’s Baltimore restaurant, Cliodhna’s passion for food translates into delicious meals at Liss Ard. We look forward to showcasing our foraging approach to you.
