The Johnstown Estate in Enfield, Co Meath, is delighted to introduce Tommy Butler as its new Executive Chef
A native of Cork, Tommy brings more than 25 years’ hospitality experience to the four star hotel and spa. Before joining The Johnstown Estate, he was Executive Chef at Portmarnock Resort & Jameson Golf Links, a role he also previously held at Farnham Estate in Cavan. Tommy’s other prior experience in Ireland includes The Radisson Blu Royal Hotel Dublin, the Talbot Hotel Stillorgan and Clarion Hotel Cork. Tommy has also honed his skills internationally in France, where he worked in Michelin-starred restaurants including Le Relais De Sevres in Paris, and in Australia, where he discovered his love for fusion food.
A familiar face on Irish television, Tommy regularly showcases his favourite recipes on Virgin Media’s Ireland AM for viewers to recreate at home. Outside of the kitchen, he has a passion for training and teaching karate, a discipline which he has practiced for over three decades.
As Executive Chef, Tommy will be responsible for directing all culinary operations across The Johnstown Estate, from Fire and Salt Restaurant and The Coach House Brasserie to Parterre, the estate’s new garden terrace cocktail bar, and The Spa Café, along with the Estate’s extensive conference and banqueting offering.
