The Tannery

About Us

'' The Tannery Restaurant, located in Dungarvan, Co Waterford in the south east of Ireland has long been regarded as one of Irelands leading restaurants.

The Tannery was opened in 1997 by leading chef Paul Flynn and his wife Máire and was followed in 2005 by the opening of the boutique style Tannery Townhouse. Over a decade later, the Tannery Cookery school is now open featuring a state of the art demonstration kitchen with further adjacent guest accommodation.

Paul Flynn is regarded as one of the foremost Irish chefs, cooking exciting and modern Irish food and so the Tannery Cookery School with reflect his cooking ethos with cookery courses for everyone from the amateur home cook to the more adventurous cook and even those who might want to cook for a living.

The Tannery Townhouse is located just around the corner from the Tannery Restaurant. Our boutique style accommodation provides fourteen very comfortable rooms in two different houses which have been designed in a contemporary style with features such as Cole and Son wallpaper and beautiful louvered shutters.

All rooms are en-suite and offer every modern extra from flat screen television to hairdryers, irons and ironing boards. Each morning a light continental breakfast is available in the room and last thing at night, freshly baked pastries are delivered from the Tannery and left hanging outside your bedroom door. It is important to note that we do not have a communal breakfast room, but the advantage of long lie ins without any breakfast time – especially for couples getting away from children far outweighs this!''
