Hailing from South Africa, and with over 25 years in the industry, Warwick brings a wealth of fine dining experience with him, having previously enjoyed stints in a number of leading international 5-Star properties, including Sandals Resort Grenada and Sheraton Grand Danang Resort in Vietnam. The already popular menus in Brownes Bar & The Garden Room restaurant are sure to see some exciting new additions from Warwick and his team in the coming months!

"I am delighted to be joining the team at such a historic property as Great Southern," Warwick said.

"Having a close working relationship with our local suppliers and providing excellent quality food is of the upmost importance to me. I am looking forward to continuing on the legacy of providing exquisite locally sourced food to our guests while also introducing my own expertise to enhance the offering."

Built in 1854 in Killarney town centre with the remit to ‘take the guest’s breath away’, Great Southern Killarney still stands proudly as Killarney’s Premier Historic Hotel. The team at Great Southern take great pride in offering an authentic Irish food experience in an exceptional setting, served by culinary professionals in partnership with incredible local suppliers from throughout Kerry and Ireland.
