Meath - Richard Corrigan

Through 32 short video profiles of Irish people in Britain, we introduce our digital series for St Patrick's Day 2021 – We are the Irish in Britain: county connections. Each clip features someone from or associated to a different Irish county and together our 32 profiles take you on a virtual tour around Ireland. We asked our participants to kindly share a favourite spot from their county and what they would like to say to other Irish people in Britain after a tough year. There’s plenty to see and do in County Meath - chef Richard Corrigan shares some of his favourite spots. Richard Corrigan’s culinary career spans several years in the Netherlands, head chef of Mulligan’s in Mayfair in London and his first Michelin star, awarded to him when he was head chef of Stephen Bull in Fulham in 1994. He runs Bentley’s Oyster Bar & Grill and Corrigan’s Mayfair, both in London, and the Virginia Park Lodge in County Cavan. He was crowned winner of the Great British menu three times. Richard also won the Great British Waste Menu special, which culminated in a dinner at the House of Lords. In his video, Richard talks about the various delights of Meath – from Oldcastle hills and the Boyne Valley, to getting a pint in Trim and walking along the seashore at Bettystown Go to We are the Irish in Britain: county connections main page and see the other counties featured, www.irishinbritain.org/countyconnections.
