The annual celebration of gastronomy that is Westport Food Festival takes place from Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th June 2017. The organisers are promising a programme with something for all ages, from mini chefs right up to fully fledged foodies.
A follow on from my blog post about my wonderful Friday sampling the most amazing food, drink and hospitality. Saturday in Galway was just as special with a visit to Spiddal, a tour of Galway Market and so much more.
Myself and Lucy have had a wonderful couple of days in Galway. We were invited along to preview some of the places involved in the Galway Food Festival which takes place on the Easter Weekend. Warning this post will make you hungry!
Today was such a wonderful day. The sun was shining for a start which is always a bonus here in Ireland. It was also Mother’s Day so myself and Andy went for lunch to Trá Bán, an award-winning restaurant in Strandhill, Sligo.
Today was a good day. It was Shrove Tuesday/pancake day so that helped. I haven’t had anything sweet for a while so today I kind of lost the run of myself.
It was my birthday on Friday and although I hadn’t intended venturing out Lucy and Laurence kindly gave me a voucher for Nook in Collooney. I decided we should all go there for lunch, we also paid a visit to Mill Falls (above) – well worth a visit.
