The Cavan native, known for his delicious recipes and dulcet tones, was in town this week filming for his Christmas cookery programme on RTÉ One.

He and his film crew were at Muckross Traditional Farms from Sunday to Wednesday with the majority of his programme shot in Quill's Farmhouse which was decorated in a 1930s Christmas theme. They also filmed in Kissane's Farmhouse and he met many of the traditional Mná an Tí.

Neven is head chef and proprietor of the MacNean House and Restaurant and has published and launched several cookbooks and features regularly on television and radio.

Toddy Doyle Manager, Muckross Traditional Farms, said it was a pleasure to have him and his crew there.

"They were all an absolute pleasure to deal with," he told the Killarney Advertiser.

"They had 1930 decorations with candles made by traditional farm staff. Neven is very personable."
