OFFICIAL HONOURS were bestowed on the Riverbank House Hotel by the Wexford Food Family recently when they awarded the hotel the status of Official Supporter in recognition of their support of local food producers.

Wexford Food Family is the brand of Wexford Food Producers Network Ltd. which is a not for profit organisation set up to promote Wexford Food Producers and Wexford as a food brand locally, regionally, nationally and internationally through marketing activities, networking, education and events.

Neil Murphy, chair of the Wexford Food Family commented: “We are so happy to be able to give recognition to this wonderful establishment. The guys at The Riverbank House Hotel go out of their way to back Wexford food producers and always have done. We want to say a huge thank you to the Riverbank on behalf of all the families that they are helping to support.”

In order to achieve the status of Official Supporter of the Wexford Food Family, each business must be nominated by a minimum of six members of the Wexford Food Family.

Philip Gore, head chef at the Riverbank House Hotel and Colm Campbell, general manager were presented with a certificate to acknowledge them as Official Supporters of the Wexford Food Family. All recipients will also be able to use the Official Supporter of the Wexford Food Family logo on their marketing material for the year. It is hoped that this will help to communicate their passion for local foods to their customers and be of benefit to their businesses.
