Acclaimed restaurant forced to close

The husband and wife team behind a critically acclaimed restaurant with a Michelin recommendation are being forced to close their doors.

Award-winning chef John Finn and his wife Julie, who manages the front-of-house operations at Dillon’s restaurant in Timoleague, Co Cork, said they had no option but to close the 24-seat waterfront restaurant at the end of the month.

Ms Finn said they regret the decision but said it was due to “circumstances beyond their control”.
