Bailey's Bar & Bistro

Truly dedicated and passionate about what he does, Mark (a native of Kilkenny) leads a team of talented and inspired chefs all of whom live and breathe our top quality food offering at Clanard Court. Mark’s background is impressive, having worked his way up through the ranks in some of Ireland’s leading restaurants, hotels and country houses (past and present) – Doyle’s Schoolhouse, Tinakilly, The Park Restaurant, Shanaghans, Cahernane, St.Ernans, Dunraven Arms, Rivercourt Hotel and Lyrath.

His own food heroes who have inspired him along the way, are Irish chefs he has worked with such as John Doyle, Colin O’Daly and Fergus Moore, not to mention the great French chefs Raymond Blanc, the Roux Brothers and Marco Pierre White. And when’s he’s not cooking up a storm in the kitchen, his other great passion (that he is very good at) is gardening!
