He is a brother of Joe Doyle who owns and runs the Donnybrook Fair chain. He is a relation of the butcher in Kilcoole, who also operate in Blackrock-Frascati Centre. Another cousin owns and runs The Willow Grove bar while yet another cousin owns and runs the Castle Inn in Newcastle.
    Congratulations to Des on this prestigeous award.

    Good stuff, I find the butcher's shop in tesco really good, meat is always top class and their service is always great. I've often gotten advice on how best to cook meats etc. Delighted that the shop is getting some recognition.

    They deserve all the recognition. Their meat and other products are top class and their service just terrific.

    However, they don't get that recognition locally. Doyle's should have been invited to join the Gourmet Greystones festival last weekend as a successful and high quality local food enterprise. Instead it was dominated by non-local producers. Now, if the grub is good I'm all for it and I don't care where the producer comes from, but leaving out Doyle's was disgraceful...

    I saw lots of local producers at greystones gourmet festival - I fail to see how you have concluded non locals dominated it.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
