The Menu: Culinary stirrings at the 2016 West Waterford Festival

First stirrings from the Dungarvan HQ of the 2016 West Waterford Festival (April 15-17) always herald the start of a new season once more on The Oul’ Sod and this year the theme is The Changing Kitchen celebrating some of the new faces and trends in food, with a great programme of events for all the family, culminating in the giant open-air market in the town square.
When it comes to the nosebag, Dublin-born chef Robin Gill (Paradise Garage, The Dairy, The Manor), one of the stars of the British restaurant world cooks a pop-up dinner in The Tannery (April 16) while three of Ireland’s very finest, Mickael Viljanen (The Greenhouse), Graham Neville (Restaurant 41) and Kieran Glennon (Patrick Guilbaud’s) host an unmissable Sunday lunch (April 17).
