The Menu: Asparagus feast in Pilgrim's Restaurant, Cork

The Menu wrestled with his conscience as he was dearly tempted not to advertise at all a Slow food West Cork dinner (April 27) in Pilgrim’s Restaurant, in Rosscarbery, and instead snaffle up the tickets himself, for it is an asparagus feast, a tasting menu based around the sublime green spear, which is just now coming into season.

Furthermore, the asparagus for this dinner is the produce of one of Ireland’s best growers, Tim York, of Lisheen Organics and, when you place Tim’s exquisite produce in the hands of Pilgrims’ chef Mark Jennings, The Menu anticipates one of the most wondrous eating experiences to be had this year or any other, as Jennings and his partner Sarah-Jane Pearce run a superb establishment and it took only a single meal for it to be installed as one of The Menu’s favourite new restaurants.
