Linen Hill
You are more likely to find a slow braised shin of beef on the menu here than a steak. The lamb will be shoulder, not leg and the venison will come from the Seaforde Estate in Down and Caledon Estate in Tyrone. Local suppliers include Draynes Dairy, Fivemiletown creamery, Hannan Meats, Carnreagh Farm, Alderside Farm, Henning’s butchers, Mourne Seafoods and Keenan Fish, Broighter Gold, Leggygowan goat’s cheese, SD Bells and Whitewater Brewery.
The three people behind Linen Hill have more than 70 years combined experience in hospitality. Chef, business partner and NI Chef of the year 2014 Shaun Hanna is from Kilkeel, so he has real passion for the fruits of the sea. He loves using coley, lythe and ling. You will always find his sustainable seafood chowder on the menu along with his Great Taste Award winning Guinness wheaten (2 stars), Piccalilli (1 star) and Fiona’s Paradise Slice (1 star).
They’re a green- fingered crew too. John Robinson grows lots of vegetables at the nearby polytunnel. His wife Fiona makes all manner of goodies to buy instore like Guiness wheaten, jams, tray bakes, pesto and her ever popular fresh lemon meringue. How kind to think of your next meal while you’re eating there.
Look out for the all new Linen Hill Street Kitchen – taking great local food to various events throughout the country
