The Cookery School is a jewel in the crow on Pontoon Bridge Hotel
Head of the Cookery School is Mary Geary from Pontoon who has been running culinary classes at the hotel for the past nine years. After qualifying at GMIT, Mary did stints in Newport House and the Ardmore Restaurant, Westport before working extensively in France, Germany, the USA and the Cayman Islands. She then returned to work in the family business in Pontoon and later was one of the founding members of the successful organisation “The Chefs of Mayo” – who are well regarded for their charitable work. She has also worked with CERT/Failte Ireland teaching people how to work in the catering industry.

Joining Mary in giving courses at the hotel is Benjamin T. Hynes from Malahide, Co. Dublin. After working in leading venues like the Hard Rock Café in Sydney, Australia, Grosvenor House Hotel and the Hyde Park Marble Arch, London – Ben returned to his native Dublin and was centre of all things culinary at the Shelbourne Hotel Dublin. He then joined the team at Pontoon Bridge Hotel in 2003 following a move to County Mayo. Ben says he is looking forward to “giving confidence to enthusiastic people by showing them how simple it is to prepare and cook fresh local and natural products.”

The Pontoon Bridge Hotel has earned 45 years of well earned good reputation. Having repeat business from local, national and international, the Geary's are delighted to be welcoming the third and fourth generation of families through the doors.
