Dining at Hollymount

Fresh, seasonal and made with care, our kitchen is the heart of our home.

Led by our classically trained Head Chef Matt Pickup, who brings years of experience from top hotels and restaurants. Our kitchen team prepares fresh and delicious home-cooked meals every day, inspired by seasonal produce and local favourites.
