Philip Innovates at Old Orchard
The Old Orchard Inn in Rathfarnham is turning up the heat this summer with the appointment of Philip Hughes as its new head chef, alongside the launch of a new summer menu and the introduction of a weekly “Rotisserie Pig on a Spit” event that promises to become a Friday evening favourite.
With a culinary background including roles at Opium Restaurant and Asian-fusion pop-up Indochine in Dublin, Philp brings a globally inspired, modern flair to the kitchen while staying true to The Old Orchard Inn’s gastro-pub roots.
“I have always believed great food should evoke both comfort and curiosity,” says Philip. “Here at The Old Orchard, I have designed dishes that surprise the palate yet feel like a homecoming with ingredients we all know and love.”
Proprietor Ali Chawke sees the Friday night rotisserie as a local social event.
