Hospitality industry awards praise value for money

A CARLOW-based chef, a Wexford hotel and a Dublin Michelin-star restaurant were among the big winners at this year’s Georgina Campbell Awards.

Chef of the Year went to Henry Stone of Sha-Roe Bistro in Carlow. Described as an “unsung hero” in Irish cooking, Mr Stone was praised for his “exceptional skills” in creating food that was “effortlessly faultless”.

The award for Restaurant of the Year went to Dublin eatery L’Ecrivain, which was praised for consistently serving high quality food at a reasonable price.
