Head Chef, Patrick Kennedy was thrilled that his menu appealed to the inspectors. 'At the Bridge House Hotel I"ve tried to create a signature menu that will appeal to food lovers of all descriptions, I"m really glad that all our hard work has paid off and want to thank all the staff in the restaurant, some of whom have been working here for over 30 years, who have made this possible.'
