The Menu: Pre Greenshine concert meal, Douglas Farmers' Market, White Glove Afternoon Tea and Barry Tyner’s pate

FEED THE LOVE

The Menu shall be donning his kitchen togs once again to aid his old friend, Clare O’Brien, (formerly Farmgate chef in her sister Kay Harte’s English Market Restaurant and now the Baker/Proprietor of Gan Gluten Bakery) in turning out a three-course pre-concert dinner on February 13, at 6pm, in On The Pig’s Back Café & Restaurant, in Douglas, to be followed by a concert featuring the very wonderful Greenshine (begins at 8pm, tickets for the concert only can be purchased separately, www.onthepigsback.com).

Curiously, The Menu has yet to encounter flustered females rampaging around the garage forecourt at closing time on Valentine’s Day desperately seeking flowers not sorely in need of defibrillation, possibly because any right-thinking woman will have snapped up well in advance of the big day a gift of the Teeling Whiskey Experience, on February 12-14, for her swain, the distillery tour finishing up with Skelligs Chocolates and fine Teeling’s Whiskey cocktails.
