Take a peek inside Cork chef’s stunning home on TV show
Viewers get a glimpse inside the gorgeous home of Cork-born celebrity chef Clodagh McKenna on TV this weekend.
The second episode of on Sunday on RTÉ1 at 9.30pm heads to her 100-acre sustainable farm in England, and one of the most exquisite gardens Dermot has seen.
Originally from Blackrock, Clodagh now lives in a 300-year-old cottage, and runs the farm in the grounds of Highclere Castle in Hampshire, together with her husband Harry, dogs Alfie and Nolly, 10 hens, three ducks, three pigs and five Aberdeen Angus cattle.
In the past four years, they have restored a one-acre, 18th-century walled vegetable and fruit garden, set up five working beehives, an orchard, a pickling and fermenting shed, and built the most idyllic forest bar in the land.
Also in the episode, Dermot meets one of the funniest women on the circuit, but does how bold is her design? Joanne McNally likes colour. Lots and lots of colour. Dermot steps into the bright and brilliant home of Joanne, in Clapham, London.
Dermot then visits Camille O’Sullivan and actor Aidan Gillen’s house - a nine-year long labour of love that recently won the RIAI Public Choice Award. Camille and Aidan have brought this 1940s protected structure back to life from dereliction, reinstating it as a family home.
For some, spaces are there to be shown off, for others they are a private sanctuary. Dermot gets to step inside the dressing room of Ireland’s favourite drag queen, Panti. Rory O’Neill allows the architect to view a treasure trove of drag couture. Rory tells Dermot: “I spent so many years changing in disused kitchens, toilets, literally a cleaning cupboard. This space that I have now, is luxury."
