The Chatroom – The Rustic Pantry

Published

on

This week we were delighted to invite Dylan Kelly and Simon Regan into The Chatroom to tell us all about their new venture, The Rustic Pantry. The guys have been slowly building the new business for the last year and have already made impressive inroads in the catering industry.

Dylan tells us all about the different catering services they can offer, from a hot dog stand to the food truck and sit-down catering. Simon also tells us about how they were chosen to provide food in the new GAA Centre of Excellence in Currans.

The two chefs have over 40 years’ experience between them and while they were on camera Kieran thought it would be a good idea to corner them and see if they’d agree to doing some cookery demos with us in the future… We think it might have worked! Watch this space!

Two young local girls showed great business initiative on Saturday ahead of the Kerry v Donegal match at Fitzgerald Stadium.

Erin McSweeney and Jessie Doolin set up a sweet stall outside a house on Lewis Road, catching the thousands of football fans walking towards the grounds.

The enterprising pair did a busy trade selling soft drinks, sweets, and chocolates to the passing crowds before throw-in.

Their match-day venture also caught the attention of the national sports media, with a photograph of the girls at their stall captured by Sportsfile photographer Stephen McCarthy ahead of the game.

Conor Pass photo captures top spot in Camera Club competition

Published

on

Noel O’Neill has claimed first place in the Unrestricted category of the latest Killarney Camera Club competition, which focused on the theme of the ‘Kerry Landscape’.

His winning photograph, titled ‘Conor Pass Lake and the Three Sisters’, features a detailed study of Mullaghveal located beneath the Conor Pass.

The image captures the wide sweep of the valley, utilizing an elevated viewpoint that allows the glacial landscape to unfold toward the Atlantic horizon. The composition highlights the quiet lakes in the foreground against the dark, rocky slopes of the valley, with the distant outline of the Three Sisters adding further depth and scale to the scene.

The judges praised the photograph as an outstanding example of landscape work, noting its effective balance of composition, light, and perspective to capture the vastness of the West Kerry terrain.
