A Big Welcome to Trigon Hotels from Aaron Mansworth (MD)

 

Trigon Hotels, which includes the Metropole Hotel, Cork International Hotel and the Cork Airport Hotel is busy preparing to welcome guests once again. Provided some restrictions are lifted Trigon Hotels are excited about reopening their doors. The hotel group has launched a number of initiatives such as a Gift Card for the first time ever and also a Family Date Night package. They also have a Festive Afternoon Tea and an outdoor cafe with lots of festive treats. 

Trigon Hotels have just launched their Gift Card, a first for the hotel in perfect time for the festive season ahead. They are encouraging people to ‘shop local’, saying it has never been more important. With Trigon, as well as supporting local employment people are also supporting Trigon’s local suppliers including their food suppliers, beverage suppliers, printers and so much more. For the first 50 vouchers purchased to a value of €150 – they will get a free night's stay in any of Trigon’s hotels.

Managing Director of Trigon Hotels, Aaron Mansworth said: “There is no denying that 2020 has been the most challenging year in our history. It was the year that the world was put on pause at a global level and as a result, we have all had to miss out on moments with our loved ones, families and friends. Some of these moments were perhaps smaller and can be recaptured but some of those events hold much more significance in a lifetime and have passed and quite simply cannot be replayed or replaced.

“In the hospitality industry, particularly at Trigon Hotels, we have really missed our people. We have missed the teams that work so hard in the various departments and we have especially missed welcoming our guests through the doors of the hotels.

“In the hospitality industry, we are privileged to look after all types of events from those that are cheerful right through to helping families in remembering their loved ones on their final celebration in life. Looking after people is what hoteliers cherish and it is the whole meaning behind what we do every single day. They are an integral part of creating memories for guests and with Trigon Hotels, many of our guests are returning guests who become part of the fabric of the hotel which makes it feel like a home.”

This year, more so than ever before, Trigon Hotels are excited to see their doors reopen in December hopefully. The Cork International Hotel is looking forward to families coming to the hotel to enjoy “Family Date Night” with the private cinema, the delicious and incredibly popular Sunday lunch offering and the overnight guests who come to enjoy the stunning hotel facilities and all that Cork has to offer with the wonderful overnight collaboration packages that they have available.

The Metropole Hotel in Corks Victorian Quarter is hopeful of a busy and bustling Christmas in Corks City Centre. They are currently putting the finishing touches to their festive afternoon tea which is available for delivery, takeaway or dine in. Equally so, the “Bottomless Brunch” will be in full swing at the weekends in December and there is also a takeaway brunch option. The Metropole are currently operating “The Met Café” which is an external takeaway café outside the hotel which is currently delighting customers with Nutella crepes, boozy Baileys hot chocolate, festive mulled wine and sweet treats. The Metropole are looking forward to opening their brand new Gift Card store adjacent to the hotel on McCurtain Street.

As well as purchasing a gift card to a monetary value, there are also a variety of experiences for sale. There are some wonderful food and beverage vouchers such as “Afternoon Tea for Two” at the Metropole for €50, bottomless brunch for two at The Met for €64, dinner for two at the New Yorker at the Cork International Hotel for €60 or dinner for two at the Cork International with a private cinema for €75.

There are also some truly wonderful overnight offers that can be gifted as an experience, including a “Family Date Night” at the Cork International Hotel which includes a 2-course dinner for 2 adults and 2 children, a private cinema to watch a movie, an overnight stay at the hotel and breakfast the following morning for just €159.

Impressive New Lunch Menu at New Yorker in Cork International Hotel

New Menu at New Yorker in Cork International Hotel

Flatbread plus!

No shortage of choice in the new lunch menu at the New Yorker, the cool and comfortable bar at the Cork International Hotel. And there’s a good choice too for the vegetarian. And it’s not just choice - quality is excellent also as we found out during a mid-week visit to check out the new menu, available from 12 noon until 5.00pm.

Of course, this is also a bar, so you’ll also have a great choice of drinks and many are detailed on the back of the menu. If you’re on fish or vegetarian, you might fancy the Contrapunto Albariño. Dona Paula is a quality Argentinian producer and their Malbec would be a good red choice. But most grape varieties are covered here and you’ll find something to suit. Prosecco and Champagne are also available. 

Lots of cocktails too. Fancy a Rebel Cooler (Jameson, Lemon Juice, Bitters, Simple Syrup, Soda Water)? There’s no shortage of Irish whiskies, gins galore (including quite a few Irish ones). And of course, there are beers, draught and bottle. Craft producers also figure on the list, Stonewell for cider, Eight Degrees for beer.

Chicken, moist and delicious

It takes a while to read it through the large menu (it is available online, so you can prepare!). I was looking at the International Seafood Open Sandwich with Kinsale gin cured salmon, smoked salmon, crab & shrimp salad, house brown bread. Also at the Tagliatelle Bolognese  (an Irish lamb Bolognese, fresh egg pasta tagliatelle, rocket and parmesan). 

Finally, I picked the Stone Baked Italian Flatbread - Parma Ham, Toonsbridge Burrata Cheese and Cherry Tomato, Olive Oil, Shoestring fries. Quite substantial but also quite a delicious and satisfying dish, full of flavour on an excellent base.

The Crispy Daily Fresh Fish Soft Taco with Hot sauce, pineapple salsa, soft shell taco, sweet potato fries made CL's short list as did the Crispy Vegetable Taco (Hot sauce, tomato salsa, soft shell taco, French Fries ) from the Vegetarian menu.

In the end, her choice was the Chargrilled Lemongrass and Ginger Sweet Chicken Tortilla Wrap with Buffalo Sauce, Crème Fraiche, Tomato, Watercress, French Fries.  She enjoyed that one, the chicken was superb and well cooked and, all in all, it was a terrific combination. 

Cheese

Also on the main menu, you’ll find  curries and sandwiches, including the West Cork  Sandwich (Gubbeen Chorizo, Toonsbridge Mozzarella, Oven Roast Tomato, Sourdough, Herb Pesto) and, from the Vegetarian, you may fancy Sameera's Columbo Yellow Curry or the International Veggie Burger (Tomato, Gherkin, Rocket, Brioche Bun, Coleslaw, Sweet Potato Fries).

Probably a bit easier to make up your mind when it comes to desserts. I was inclined to go for the Strawberry and Death by Chocolate Fool or the Sweet Pancake with ice cream. But it was the excellent Cork (captained by Gubbeen) v Tipperary cheese (skippered by Cashel) that got the nod. Fruit and crackers came along too, as well as an outstanding spicy apple compôte. Who won? With our host, the Tipperary hotel manager, in the wings, we needed to be diplomatic and called it a draw!

Overall though a visit here to the New Yorker, where manager Justin and his crew will take good care of you, is a win win.

Our lunch was part of a media visit and the New Yorker is open for 12:00 – 14:00 Artisan Deli (Mon – Fri); 12:00 – 17:00 Lunch Menu (Daily); 17.00 – 22:00 Full Dinner Menu (Daily). All the menus and more details here.
