Win an overnight stay at Castle Leslie Estate with dinner at Snaffles Restaurant

It’s all about food this summer in Monaghan! The Monaghan Summer of Food Series is a showcase of the county’s food heroes, all of whom offer something unique and serve to make Monaghan a more enticing place to visit.

From the ‘world’s best duck’ at Silver Hill Farm, award-winning bakeries - Dinkin’s and Matilda’s, to Brehon Brewhouse, a micro-brewery set on a working dairy farm in the heart of Patrick Kavanagh Country, and Awesome Coffee Beans - a cafe and artisan roastery, the finest food and drink experiences await, just an hour’s drive from both Dublin and Belfast.

Follow @MonaghanTourism on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, as we introduce the county’s food heroes throughout the summer.

One such hero is Aaron Duffy, Executive Chef at Castle Leslie Estate. Aaron combines years of Michelin experience and personal passion with some delicious, tried and tested recipes of the past. He has reinvented the Estate’s Cookbook - a compilation of dog-eared family recipes, some dating back centuries, cleverly bringing a whole new meaning to ‘old meets new’. Aaron and his team at the 2AA Rosette award-winning Snaffles Restaurant cater for all guests with style and a smile! Signature dishes are cooked with the very best seasonal, local ingredients, and served in the beautiful, light-filled space. Castle Leslie Estate’s extensive gin menu features over 100 gins from around the world, including the Estate’s very own gin, The Fighting Bishop. All this combines to make Snaffles Restaurant one of the finest dining experiences in Monaghan.

Monaghan Tourism has teamed up with Castle Leslie Estate to offer one lucky winner an overnight stay for two in The Lodge, with full Irish breakfast and table d’hote dinner in Snaffles Restaurant.
