Company information

Hello! I'm Keague, and I'm excited to share my dream with you! Cooking has always been a passion in my family, and I've eagerly pursued it. After completing my studies at Silwood School of Cookery, I've had the privilege of working as an Executive Chef in various places. Now, I'm delighted to call myself the owner of a charming B&B named On The Beach, situated right by the sea. Additionally, there's a cozy café on the premises called Sea Salt. What makes our place truly special is that it's a family affair. In the café, you'll find me cooking up delights while my mom lends her expertise to both cooking and baking. My wife ensures that our guests have a comfortable stay as the general manager of the accommodation. Over in the café, my best friend oversees operations, and his wife takes care of housekeeping with great care. My uncle tends to the lush gardens, and my aunt manages the financial side of things. And last but certainly not least, my daughter adds a sprinkle of magic as the resident mermaid in our pool!
