Local ProduceAt the Hastings Hotels Group we are passionate about food and believe that eating is one of life’s greatest pleasures. We embrace the use of carefully selected local and seasonal quality foods to enable our chefs to
prepare and create the most delicious dishes in our kitchens.
The Island of Ireland has a proud heritage of farming and fishing, resulting in an abundance of sensational produce and we at Hastings Hotels are striving to give all our guests a true taste of this in everything we serve. When sourcing our food, we look for produce which stands out from the rest – from where it originates, to the way it is produced and for its flavour.
GM Food AssuranceWe liaise closely with our food suppliers to ensure ingredients do not include genetically modified maize or soya.
For those with special dietary requirements or allergies, who may wish to know the ingredients used, please speak to the Manager.
