Thursday 09 April 2015
Pat O’Sullivan is not only the driving force behind Masterchefs Hospitality, but also the Café Noir chain as well as the Artisan Food Factory Ltd. He is a stickler for quality, in every aspect of his businesses, and has made his name on the superb standards he insists upon.
The Pavilion is equipped with a fantastic function and meeting area, two very modern conference rooms with capacities of up to 120 delegates, as well as a very stylish and inviting bar and lounge, with panoramic window views, and the added bonus of a very attractive outdoor veranda, which, in summertime, hosts some of the best BBQ parties around. Their facilities are perfect for a wide range of events, like weddings, corporate and private events as well as high-end outdoor affairs.
Throughout the day, they serve a delicious assortment of handmade pastries, cakes and tarts that, like all food served at the Pavilion, are prepared using only the freshest and finest local ingredients possible. At the Pavilion, they are very proud of their locally sourced meat and seafood and feel that it is important also to support local artisan suppliers. The result is great food. Their daytime carvery, which is available daily, has quickly picked up a reputation for being top notch, with plenty of repeat customers returning to the Pavilion licking their lips.
In the evening, they always have a great a la carte menu, which also offers great value. They do starters like warm smoked duck and brie crepes with mixed salad leaves and hazelnut dressing; Nicoise and smoked salmon salad with seasonal leaves, green beans, olives, tomato, egg, potato and sauce vierge; not to mention their golden fried calamari ‘dore’ served with mixed leaves, tartar sauce and jalapeno relish.
