The Granville Hotel on the Quay in Waterford city has been voted into the ‘Top 10 Greatest Carvery Venues in Ireland’. The announcement follows months of judging and unannounced carvery reviews in hundreds of pubs, restaurants and hotels across the country by a panel of judges including the broadcaster George and Willie Somers, executive chef at Unilever Foodsolutions which sponsors the awards.
The Granville Hotel was awarded the accolade for three of its dishes which particularly impressed the judges, Roast Beef, Chicken Curry and Sheppard’s Pie.

I’d like to congratulate all our staff, especially our carvery chefs who have worked very hard to ensure we are Waterford’s Carvery Champion.”
