Finding the right venue to celebrate a special occasion with family or friends, or to wine and dine business clients or work colleagues in comfort and privacy, is easier said than done sometimes. But the team behind the award-winning Blackrock Cottage restaurant in Salthill are delighted to announce that the picturesque venue is now available to hire for private parties and events.
The restaurant, which is set in a Famine-era cottage beside the iconic Blackrock Diving Tower at the end of the Promenade, has earned a stellar reputation over the last two years. It was named as the Best Restaurant in Galway earlier this year. The Cottage’s evening dinner service, in particular, has proven extremely popular with patrons with guests coming from far and wide to sample the wide-ranging menu that has been designed by renowned head chef, Martin O’Donnell.
The quality of the food and service has also led to a range of local businesses and corporate clients hiring Blackrock Cottage (or a section of it ) for private parties and events. Groups of a certain size can choose from a variety of beautiful dishes on a special set menu with the option of a drinks reception also available.
“The location and stunning setting, combined with the cosy and intimate atmosphere of the Cottage, really is unique and one of the secrets of our success,” said general manager, Mathieu Teulier. “But the consistently high quality of the food and customer service is what brings people back time and time again, that’s the feedback that we’ve got from our customers.
“So we’re delighted now to offer all of the best of Blackrock Cottage to groups, companies, businesses and corporate clients that might like to hire the venue for private parties and events.
“The demand is there, especially on midweek evenings when, traditionally, a lot of businesses like to bring clients out for dinner and give them a real sense of what the Galway and Irish experience is all about.
“We also have Guinness on tap, our own craft beer, ‘The Cottage’, as well as an extensive wine list and a great selection of cocktails.”
“We think business people and those celebrating a special occasion choose to come to the Cottage because of the great food, warm welcome, intimate atmosphere and eye-catching location,” added Martin O’Donnell.
