Ireland's best restaurant, pub & chef of 2024 revealed at Georgina Campbell Awards

From newcomer of the year to the best Irish breakfast and the country's most welcoming host, the 2024 winners of the annual Georgina Campbell Irish Food & Hospitality Awards have been announced.

Now in its 25th year, the awards are selected by incognito inspectors and aim to honour Ireland's standard-bearers in food and hospitality.

Among the winners are Danni Barry of Ballynahinch Castle Hotel (Chef of the Year), Sheen Falls Lodge (Five-Star Hotel of the Year), and OX in Belfast (Fine Dining Restaurant of the Year). There were also awards given for smart sustainability, the best baked bread, and hospitality heroes.
