North Cork Family Bar Hunters Rest to Close After Generations
The pub is located on Mitchelstown’s Main Street. Three generations of the family ran it. People know the owners well in town. Hunters Rest focused on local, traditional food.
Robert announced the upcoming closure. The pub still takes bookings for events before April 30th. They will honor all planned events.
Robert enjoyed working as a chef. The industry always changes. The products and the people were great. He thanks everyone who bought food or drinks. He also thanks the present and past staff. Robert wishes them well in their future jobs.
Gratitude goes to local suppliers and his family. Locals expressed sadness and wished them well. North Cork Cllr Peter O’Donoghue will miss the restaurant. He thanked the Mullallys for years of great service. He wished them luck in their next life chapter.
Some people recall childhood trips to the pub. One person brought their own kids later. They admire the Mullallys’ hard work. Memories of Hunters Rest are still fond. Thank you, Mullally family, they wrote. Enjoy family time in retirement.
Another local calls the closure sad news. The food was always fantastic. It is a huge loss for the town. They wish Eileen and Jack a happy retirement.
The Flying Enterprise owners in Cork also retired. Finnbarr O’Shea and Dolly are selling their venue. This includes the Barrack Street complex. It also includes the Sober Lane beer garden.
