“Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates.”
—Mark Twain
Winter in Ireland is a truly unique time, packed with nostalgia and emotion. In this menu we tried to encapsulate that uniqueness through flavour. The smells of the markets, long walks in the woods or by the sea with loved ones, the banter and not taking yourself too seriously. The menu features four Irish brands we've never worked with before affirming our commitment to supporting our brilliant Irish producers.
