One of the country's top chefs and his Cork restaurant have parted ways barely eight months after the establishment first launched in March under his leadership.
Dan Guerin’s sudden departure from Cush Midleton comes just days after he was crowned joint Best Seafood Chef of the Year at the prestigious Georgina Campbell Irish Food & Hospitality Awards 2025 in Dublin.
