Neven Maguire and his MacNean House and Restaurant have cleaned up at the Irish Restaurant Awards 2017 Ulster finals, considered the Irish Food Oscars.

Neven and the MacNean team were awarded Best Restaurant and Best Customer Service awards in Cavan. Attended by the MacNean Restaurant team, the Ulster regional finals of the Irish Restaurant Awards 2017 was held at Lough Erne Resort.

Receiving the accolade, Neven said: “I am extremely honoured to accept these awards on behalf of my team at MacNean House and Restaurant. It is their passion, support and dedication that make it possible to continue to provide exceptional food and service for our loyal customers in Cavan and across Ulster.”

Since Neven took over the family business in 2001, MacNean House & Restaurant has been consistently winning awards for its food, service, wine offer and overall dining experience.

Each county winner then goes forward to the Regional and All-Ireland stage whereby they will then each receive a mystery guest inspection. The All-Ireland final of the Irish Restaurant Awards 2017 takes place on Monday, May 8.

Award winning chef, Neven Maguire, launched his brand new book, Neven Maguire’s Complete Family Cookbook, in October.

With over 300 recipes, Neven Maguire’s Complete Family Cookbook is the ultimate cookbook for families, providing busy parents with all the inspiration and help they need to get more of the good stuff into their family diet, while also ensuring homemade food is at the heart of the home.
