An Evening with Ross Lewis at the Fern House

Mar 07, 2023

We’re delighted to announce our next event, An Evening with Ross Lewis, on Thursday 30th March.

Taking place in the beautiful Fern House restaurant at Avoca Kilmac, guests will enjoy an evening with a delicious 6 course meal prepared by Michelin-starred chef, Ross Lewis. In association with Wicklow Naturally, the evening will be a celebration of wonderful Wicklow produce and we will have Santina Kennedy from Wicklow Naturally joining us on the evening, too.

Ross’s journey to culinary excellence began on his uncle’s farm in Bishopstown, Co.Cork. His desire to be a chef is rooted in this early experience of the connections between land and food. As a student and in the subsequent years, Ross worked in restaurants in the U.S, London and Switzerland. He returned to Ireland at 24, and for 3 years he worked as Head Chef at the legendary Old Dublin Restaurant. Ross then went on to establish the renowned Chapter One restaurant with Martin Corbett in 1993, and held a Michelin star from 2007 until 2001. Chapter One has won countless awards including Best Restaurant in Ireland (eight times, most recently in 2017), and Best Chef of the Year (2009, 2010, 2012, 2017, Food & Wine Magazine). He remains co-owner and also owns a sister restaurant, Osteria Lucio, in Dublin. 

On the evening, guests will enjoy a carefully curated 6 course tasting menu, planned around the incredible Wicklow produce we have on our doorstep, as well as a selection of locally produced Wicklow Way Wines available on the evening. Dinner will be from 7pm, with guests welcome to arrive from 6pm to avail of private discounted shopping in our retail store, as well as complimentary bubbles on arrival.
