Richard warmly invites you to join him at HOMEGROWN, an exclusive event to celebrate his tenth year as the custodian of Virginia Park Lodge, alongside guest chefs Angela Hartnett, Valentine Warner & Robin Gill.
Steeped in history, Virginia Park Lodge is an 18th-century hunting estate set amidst 100 acres of stunning grounds on the banks of Lough Ramor, an hour North West of Dublin. Richard has painstakingly restored the Lodge to its former glory, and has saved a place for you at the table to celebrate the heritage of these wild lands.
