Cruise to foodie Tweetup

The Menu has spent the past few days rummaging through the attic for his finest Capt Birds Eye kit as he gets dickied up for what promises to be a most splendid caper: a harbour cruise down to Cronin’s Pub, in Crosshaven, for the latest Munster Foodie Tweetup, where food-loving virtual Twitter friends meet up in the flesh for … yup, food!

Departing on a Cork Harbour Cruises ferry from Penrose Wharf at 5pm on Sunday, Jun 24, for a spectacular cruise through the harbour, with live music and Irish craft beers to slake spiritual and physical thirsts, revellers fetch up in Crosser at 6.30pm for a gourmet BBQ of fresh locally caught fish and a royal knees-up in one of Ireland’s finest seaside gastro-pubs before bussing back to the city centre at 10.30pm — and all that for only €35 measly bucks! Having attended previous Tweetups, The Menu will be anticipating yet another fine evening. While a twitter account isn’t strictly essential, a fervent devotion to the nosebag is nigh essential. http://munsterfoodietweetup.eventbrite.ie/
