Kiely’s by Blue Haven brings a touch of zazzle to Cork’s takeaway scene

Kiely Great Chips!

Kiely’s by Blue Haven brought a touch of zazzle to Cork’s takeaway scene when it reopened its doors with a revamped look and a spectacular new menu in January 2022

Retaining the reputation for quality that Kiely’s – as Cork’s oldest chipper – had always been famed for, the team is led by Chef Hugo Alves Matos, under the creative guidance of Chef Meeran Manzoor.

Inspired by Cork’s growing foodie scene, the pair fused together the finest locally sourced ingredients to offer a re-imagined and updated chipper-based feast to customers all over Cork city. From the humble homemade chip served with their thick garlic aioli to the Tempura Haddock or Union Hall cod pakora, Kiely’s team prepare everything onsite as soon as the daily deliveries start to arrive. The Kiely’s cheeseburger remains a firm favourite with customers, but the addition of new flavours, sides, dips, and local specialities has given some old traditions a gorgeous new lease of life!

Free Chips

Mattie Kiely first opened the doors of his city centre establishment in 1940, and his longstanding traditions and standards remain following its relaunch under The Blue Haven Collection banner earlier last year.

Last year they treated the people of Cork to a delicious portion of their famously fresh-cut chips. It was part of their fun new ‘Catch Us on Patrick Street’ campaign, and the team from Kiely’s gave out free chips on Patrick Street on the day between 12.30pm and 2.30pm. The focus at Kiely’s is firmly on locally sourced ingredients, with fish from Union Hall and Ballycotton, Ummera chicken, and local Cork potatoes for chips as long as the weather permits.

On TV

Cork’s oldest chipper featured on television screens recently as they competed to be crowned the nation’s best takeaway. Kiely’s took on some of Ireland’s finest culinary talents as part of RTÉ’s six part series, ‘Takeaway Titans’. Hugo Manuel Alves Matos and João Narciso travelled to Dublin to represent the Cork institution.

The television series showcased the incredible cooking talents, flavours, and menus from takeaway kitchens across Ireland.

Presented by Carl Mullan and James Kavanagh, the programme featured Irish chef Dylan McGrath, winner of Britain’s Best Home Cook Suzie Lee Arbuthnot, and members of the public to taste the delicious recipes on offer and act as judges at the end of each show.

Kiely’s featured in the chipper’s episode, in one of five heats that also included Asian, Indian, pizza, as well as burger and chicken cooking. The winners from each heat went forward to compete in the series’ final and was eventually won by Janet’s from Dublin.
