Congratulations to VFI member Greg Ryan from McMunn’s pub in Ballybunion, Kerry, who recently won an auction for an Irish Rugby jersey signed by the Grand Slam winning team. Greg’s winning bid of €1,900 will be donated to the Peter McVerry Trust. The Peter McVerry Trust is a charity set up by Fr Peter McVerry to reduce homelessness and the harm caused by drug misuse and social disadvantage.

Many thanks to John Conran for donating the jersey.

Greg Ryan Invited Into Eurotoques

Posted by McMunn's of Ballybunion on with 0 Comment

McMunn’s own Greg Ryan was recently granted membership of Euro-Toques, this is a great achievement personally for Greg and also for the team at McMunn’s.

Euro-Toques Ireland members are custodians of Irish culinary heritage and the food culture of Ireland today and tomorrow. Their members – professional chefs and cooks – work to a high set of principles and are asked in good faith to follow the Euro-Toques Code of Honour. This means striving for excellent culinary standards as a chef and always working with quality local produce, in season as far as possible. In short, Euro- Toques members must operate with integrity in everything from sourcing to serving.

McMunn’s is  currently the only restaurant in Ballybunion to hold such an honor, one that is well recognized among “foodies” and people in the hospitality industry!

Congratulations, Greg!

Ryan Tubridy Visits McMunn’s

All roads lead to our beautiful Ballybunion when Ryan Tubridy recently did a tour of the West Coast of Ireland along the Wild Atlantic Way. He walked Bromore and Ballybunion Cliffs along with a walk around town.

After dining in McMunn’s and enjoying some entertainment in Mikey Joe’s afterward, Mr. Tubridy spent the morning broadcasting his morning show (R.T.E Radio 1, 9AM to 10AM) live from the Coast Cafe on Main Street.

Main Street was closed to cars and trucks from the entrance to Supervalu down to the Bunker Bar Corner while the show was being broadcast, leaving that section open to foot passengers.

He mentioned McMunn’s during his 45 minute podcast, which you can listen to here:

They took loads of pics and videos all around town. Here are a few of our own:
