The Fern Grill is the hotel's multiple award-winning restaurant with Seamus Commons, one of Ireland’s most respected chefs, heading up the team at this Westport restaurant and the food is impeccable; with fresh fish, caught and landed daily, dry-aged Irish Black Angus beef and lamb with fruit & vegetables grown in Knockranny’s gardens. Eating at The Fern Grill is all about relaxed dining, great food chosen from local producers and an interesting wine list – in great company.
With a nod to 1920s and 30s movie-star glamour and big screen elegance, The Fern Grill has been transformed with subtle touches, all designed to make the most of those amazing vistas over Croagh Patrick and Clew Bay.
Designed and overseen by Westport-based interiors talent Emma Minish, she worked closely with local tradesmen as well as sourcing some of the additions to this cosmopolitan décor from various other sources at home and abroad. The overall achievement has been to create a restaurant with intimate spaces without compromising the proportions of the rooms, creating atmosphere while giving a timeless, luxurious feel to The Fern Grill.
