Amateur chefs a hit with diners

A TOP pub and restaurant has let four amateur chefs loose in its kitchen, giving a local twist to the celebrity chef-style competition.

Cronin’s Pub in Crosshaven, Co Cork, threw open the doors of its award-winning Mad Fish restaurant to the four food novices. And their menus have been going down a treat with diners.

Flame-haired pub owner Joleen Cronin, who organised the hugely successful Red Head Convention in Crosshaven last summer, said she was stunned by the response to the competition.
