A Spirit of Food

A Spirit of Taste

From the Wild Atlantic to the Walled Garden

At Rockhill House Estate, food is more than sustenance — it is a connection to the land itself, a firm grounding in our Spirit of Place.

With a family legacy steeped in over 40 years of award-winning dairy production, we understand that true flavor begins in the soil. Our food philosophy is simple: we source the finest ingredients from the hills, herds, and shores of Donegal, and we let them speak for themselves.

Global Skill, Local Passion

Our kitchen is led by a team of internationally trained chefs who have honed their craft in kitchens across the globe. They bring a world of technique to Letterkenny, applying precision and artistry to the rugged, natural gifts of the North West.

Every dish is a collaboration between the chef's creativity and the producer's dedication.

Zero Food Miles: The Walled Garden

Just 500 meters from The Church Restaurant's kitchen pass lies the historic Rockhill Walled Garden. Following the seasons, our chefs work in rhythm with the land—harvesting wild garlic in spring, soft fruits in summer, and root vegetables in winter. When we say "local," we often mean "picked this morning, or sometimes just minutes ago."
