A hotel that’s a two min walk from the town so I can visit local pubs.

Views from my room were so peaceful. And they did a toastie to the room.

A little pause in the West 🍂

Swipe through our lovely staycation at Knockranny House Hotel in Westport — the kind of trip where you arrive tired and leave feeling like a whole new person. Cosy rooms, the most beautiful views of Mayo, delicious food and that spa time I didn’t know I needed 🧖‍♀️✨

And of course, we couldn’t come all this way without climbing Croagh Patrick ⛰️ Tough, windy and absolutely worth every step for that view at the top. The spa afterwards hit different 😅

Sometimes you don’t need to go far to feel like you’ve escaped. Ireland, you never disappoint 💚

Which slide is your favourite? 👇

The Suite Life at @the_heritage_hotel 👌✨

What a room—from the beautiful views from the balcony to the incredibly comfortable bed and plush living area, every detail felt luxurious. It was my first visit to this fantastic hotel, but it certainly won’t be my last.

We were invited to a beautiful wine dinner last night and also had the chance to experience their cool new cocktail lounge. There are lots of exciting changes happening here, and I can’t wait to return.

A huge thank you to the wonderful team for making it such a memorable night. 🍷🍸

YOUNG CHEF OF THE YEAR 2026
GUEST JUDGE ANNOUNCEMENT

Executive Chef of Terre at Castlemartyr Resort, Lewis Barker will join the judging panel for the 2026 Young Chef of the Year finals, presented by La Rousse Foods, on Sunday, 11 October.

Originally from Leeds, West Yorkshire, Lewis began his culinary journey at just 15, working weekends at local fine-dining institution Anthony’s under Chef Anthony Flynn. After graduating from Leeds City College, he went on to build an international career, working in some of the world’s most acclaimed kitchens.

His journey took him to Australia, where he worked at Vue de Monde with Shannon Bennett and Quay with Peter Gilmore, followed by a year in Barcelona before moving to Singapore in 2016. There, he worked at Michelin-starred The Kitchen at Bacchanalia and Vianney Massot, before launching his own restaurant Sommer in 2021. Within six months, the restaurant was awarded a Michelin star, making Lewis the youngest chef in Singapore to receive the accolade at the age of 27.

In late 2025, Lewis moved to East Cork to take on the role of Executive Chef at Terre, succeeding Vincent Crépel. He has since retained the restaurant’s two Michelin stars, marking an exciting new chapter in his career.

At Terre, Lewis’s cuisine is rooted in terroir combining classical French technique with influences from a decade spent in Asia and a deep connection to the Irish larder. Working closely with local fishermen, foragers and farmers, he creates a cuisine that is global in outlook while remaining intimately connected to the land and sea of County Cork.

We look forward to welcoming him to the 2026 Young Chef of the Year finals.
