Our sincere sympathies to you, Karen. We knew how much you adored your dad. Sending you, Nick, and your mum all our love.

It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of John Howard, founder of Le Coq Hardi and one of the founding commissioners of Euro-Toques Ireland.
John was instrumental in the establishment of Euro-Toques Ireland in 1986, alongside Myrtle Allen, Declan Ryan, and Gerry Galvin. His commitment to honest cooking and to the values that underpin our organisation helped shape Euro-Toques in Ireland from its very beginnings.
John’s influence extended far beyond his own kitchen. He was a respected colleague, a reference point for many, and a passionate advocate for quality, craftsmanship, and ethics in the profession. His contribution to Irish food culture, and to our community, will not be forgotten.
On behalf of Euro-Toques Ireland, we extend our heartfelt condolences to John’s family, and to all those who had the privilege of working with and learning from him.
Manuela Spinelli on behalf of Euro-Toques Ireland

Really sad to learn of John's passing. We had so many joy filled afternoons and evenings in the Coq Hardi brilliantly catered for by John and overseen by Catherine in their own unique way. Nothing was too much trouble. Also great days at the races. Rest in peace John. You will have a place at the top table.
