Cork city restaurant closes for two weeks before new operators take over

TABLE Restaurant in Brown Thomas in Cork is closed for refurbishments for the next two weeks, as owners Peaches and Domini Kemp move on after “16 wonderful years”.

The Kemp sisters were born to an Irish mother and Scottish father, and grew up in the Bahamas, before founding their award-winning and family-owned company, ITSA, in 1999. Table Restaurant in Brown Thomas is just one of many locations and brands that the sisters own across Ireland.

In a statement yesterday, Peaches and Domini have announced that they are “moving on”.

“We have absolutely loved running this wonderful restaurant since 2006 and have enjoyed serving so many of you; thank you to all our customers for their loyal support,” they said.

The restaurant will be closed for the next two weeks to undergo a refit, as new operators take over. All staff will be staying on and the Kemp sisters have thanked their “amazing staff members”, both past and present.
