Smugglers 5th Anniverary Party
On Friday the 5th December, Smugglers Creek Inn celebrated its fifth anniversary in style with drinks and hors d’oeuvres aplenty, topping off the evening was a live performance by Gary Mac.
Many friends, customers and suppliers were there to celebrate this special occasion with Proprietor, Emily Browne, who took ownership of the iconic place since November 2009.
“I still remember the day when I got the key to open the door to Smugglers Creek. Over the past five years, we carried out many renovations to the building. In spring 2014, we opened our brand new conservatory restaurant which maximised the key attraction of Smugglers Creek, now our customers get to experience the uninterrupted views of Rossnowlagh Beach and Donegal Bay while enjoying a delicious meal. Today, I am absolutely thrilled to mark our 5th anniversary with our GREAT BIG THANK YOU PARTY. From our first lunch service to our first culinary award, we have been truly honoured to serve the food we love in this magical place we love. Our loyal customers and dedicated team deserve a GREAT BIG THANK YOU for helping us reaching this milestone. We couldn’t have done it without your support!
I look forward to doing great works with my team over the next 5 years!” said Emily.
