From there he travelled to Switzerland where he spent two years expanding his culinary experience. Returning to Ireland, Tony worked at The K Club, Kildare and Les Frere Jacques, Dublin, before heading back to Wexford where he began his long association with Ferrycarrig Hotel. Tony took a six-month leave of absence to work at The Hyatt Hotel, Grand Cayman, and returned to Ferrycarrig to become Head Chef.
