Dingle food festival 2015

This year for the second year I was invited down to the Dingle food and wine  festival so myself and Vicki set off on  a fantastic weekend that is in its 9th year full of workshops cooking demos discussions and a fantastic food trail that takes you around the town and what fun it was to wander around taking in the atmosphere the food and the drink 
Such a variety of food and a fab map of where to go and what dishes are being sold in each venue from art galleries to book shops to restaurants all taking part in the trail 



The excitement meeting suppliers who are involved in the Blas na hEireann awards which run alongside the food festival this year I stood in forTom Durcan to collect his silver award for his spiced beef 

On Sunday in benders hotel I took part in the demos and really enjoyed it 
Show casing our spiced beef hash and carrageen miss served with apple and black berry 

Before it was time to head back east a last stroll around the town was had taking in the atmosphere the fun the banter the festival was buzzing a great place to catch up with new and old friends of the industry to gain knowledge and experience and the warmest of welcomes 
And with a spin up the Conor pass it was time to head home to Cork

A bit of news

A phone call during the week from Food and Wine magazine was one of the happiest moments iv experienced in Fenns to be told we are one of TEN restaurants short listed in Munster for the restaurant of the year awards and then to be told that I was short listed in the chef category.

Having been asked a couple of weeks ago was I going I was quoted as saying we've never been nominated but here we are nominated in not just one category but two for the first time since I took the helm at Fenns.

The staff and i are over joyed and excited with the nod from Food and Wine Magazine and look forward to the awards in Dublin on August 25th

Scones a go-go


Last week, we told you all about our scones, which were in the running for Best Scones 2013. This morning, we are traveling up to Dublin with our scones to be part of the Final Judging Event for Goodall's Best Scone Competition 2013. It is very exciting. The precious cargo is joined by some of our house-made jam.

Thank you to everyone who nominated and voted for our scones, earning us a place at today's event. We'll let you know how it goes up in the Big Smoke and if our scones are judged to be the Best! No matter what, we know our customers think they're the best so that's enough for us.
