Michelin Star Chef Nigel Haworth Cooks at Balloo House
Balloo House in Killinchy held the third of four exclusive dining events on Monday night with Lancashire Michelin star chef Nigel Haworth at the helm. The Four Seasons at Balloo events, part of the NI Year of Food Drink 2016 celebrations, are running throughout the year bringing four acclaimed chefs to the Balloo House kitchen to cook at four unique events showcasing Northern Ireland’s finest seasonal produce and wines from JN Wines.
Balloo House chef Danny Millar first met Nigel while appearing alongside him on the BBC2 Great British Menu series along with the other chefs taking part in the Four Seasons at Balloo events, Tom Kitchin, Glynn Purnell, and Stephen Terry. Speaking about last night’s dinner Danny said: “Nigel is a legendary chef who has retained a Michelin star at has restaurant in Northcote Manor for 20 years. He is a world class chef and an absolute gentleman.
We are very proud of Northern Ireland’s outstanding food produce and Nigel is extremely impressed with the first class product we have on our doorstep. The event was a very memorable experience for both the diners and the team at Balloo House.”
The final event in the Four Seasons series will be held on 14th November at Balloo House and will feature cooking from Welsh chef Stephen Terry. Awarded his first Michelin star at the age of 25, Stephen’s early years were under the direction of mentor Marco Pierre White in Harveys restaurant, followed by Michel Roux at La Gavroche when the restaurant held three Michelin stars. Stephen now owns and runs The Hardwick in South Wales.
