Michelin star chef Sam Moody and Brendan Guina are collaborating to seruve up curated three-course meal using the finest of Laois produce at the innovative farm near Portlaoise.
Diners will be treated to a pre-taster of what the new Bramley restaurant in Abbeyleix will aim to achieve, developing a community, over great food.
It's claimed that a three-course menu will be cooked up on a fire-pit on what's described as a "regenerative farm" with all ingredients used on the day available in the new forest farm shop and at Bramley Abbeyleix.
Fiorbhia farm will be supplying the wild garlic, forest-reared pork fillets, rhubarb and the firewood used to cook your meal while the vegetables will be supplied by The Red Shed Organic farm Portarlington while our organic mushrooms are supplied by Garryhinch Mushrooms. All produce supplied is within a 20km radius of our farm and regeneratively grown.
Sam Moody, formerly of Ballyfin Demesne, is behind a new and upcoming venture at Bramley’s. He says the goal of the restaurant, hoping to open in May, is to create a warm, friendly space where people can come and enjoy an elegant dining experience. He adds that the company's vision is centred around providing exceptional hospitality and serving high-quality, delicious food.
The owner behind Fiorbhia Farm, Brendan Guinan, believes the collaboration will showcase the best of Laois produce, from his farm, and other Laois producers, many of whom are part of the Laois Taste Food group.
