At Lady Helen, we’re only as good as our ingredients. We work closely with a network of independent Irish suppliers and farmers who are the cornerstone of our restaurant. In season, we use fruit and herbs from our walled garden and fragrant wild garlic which grows abundantly throughout the estate, and features in our logo.
