Sligo Food Trail in conjunction with Visit Sligo recently launched the Sligo Picnic initiative, and I was invited to The Ocean Sands Hotel in Enniscrone to try their offering, and it was wonderful! I love the idea of picking up a picnic and heading off wherever the road takes you. No more sweaty sandwiches from home!
