Neven Gets A Taste of Greystones

hot in Greystones on October 13th last year but hitting our TV screens this Wednesday, Neven’s Coastal Food Trails sees the celebrity chef celebrate foodies around the country.

And given that Greystones is now very much a foodie town, hey, his first stop was inevitable.

Having recently toured Spain and Portugal, Neven concentrates on the east coast of Ireland for his latest outing, visiting restaurants, cafes, food stalls and farms for the new six-part series.

With a little too much to choose from in Greystones, the man from Cavan settled on No. 84 Wood Fired Pizza and La Crêperie Pierre Grise down by the harbour before swinging into the award-winning Chakra on the main street, with head chef Jay Singh revealing the recipe for their famous Chooza Khaas Herikay.

So, notebooks at the ready.

Then it was on to Newcastle, and Kilmullen Farm, where Margaret Hoctor and Eamon Burke have built up a formidable reputation for their lambs.

Said Neven of his latest adventure, “I’m delighted to be back on the road, focusing on the towns around Ireland’s coast.

“It’s been a great opportunity to meet food producers, visit restaurants, and try out some tourism activities. I can’t wait to share these experiences in the series.”

He also murmured something under his breath about Greystones being The Greatest Foodie Town In Ireland, but RTÉ decided it was best not to upset the rest of the country, so it was cruelly edited out.

You can catch Neven’s Coast Trails hitting Greystones on RTÉ One on Wednesday, September 11th at 8pm – details here.
