‘This is not the Ireland I want to remember,’ says irate Irish-born chef

AN IRISH-BORN chef who has catered at Ascot and at 10 Downing Street says he’ll never forget the past week and his holiday from hell.

Richard Corrigan owns and runs the exclusive Lynsey House in Soho, regarded as one of the top six restaurants in London. The Meath-born father of three also owns the English Garden in Chelsea.

Yesterday, he and his family packed their bags and raced out of Clonakilty Lodge, a four star, deluxe, self-catering holiday complex. It was a holiday from hell, he says, which cost them 600 for accommodation alone.
