HOSPITALITY AT GUARDS POLO CLUB CHEF RICHARD CORRIGAN Chef Patron of the Corrigan Collection, including critically acclaimed London restaurants (such as Bentley’s Oyster Bar in Piccadilly, Corrigan’s Mayfair of Upper Grosvenor Street, and more recently, The Portrait Restaurant on top of the National Portrait Gallery). He also owns and manages a Country House and Estate in Virginia, County Cavan, Ireland, called Virginia Park Lodge, which grows its own vegetables and rears his own Oxford Sandy Pigs. Richard has opened numerous restaurants, gained Michelin stars, authored two recipe books, cooked for Royalty and world leaders, and regularly makes appearances on radio and television, notably winning the Great British Menu three times and being a regular guest judge on the popular BBC series. A farmer’s son, Richard began his teenage career in the kitchen and has cooked all his life. Richard is well known for his generous hospitality and for celebrating seasonal events such as St Patrick’s Day, Game Season, and the return of Native Oysters in September. Since Virginia Park Lodge’s acquisition in 2014, Richard has devoted much of his time to restoring the estate to its former glory, growing seasonal produce for his restaurants, and making the 100-acre property as self-sufficient as possible. Almost everything is recycled on-site. Richard Corrigan Discover more at corrigancollection.com
