As is well known to regular readers, The Menu has a special grá for Waterford, both city and county, and has long championed its food and hospitality offering. The Harvest Festival has been a fixture in the city for a number of years but this year’s inspired move of handing over the programming of same to the very splendid GIY organisation, based in GROW HQ, on the outskirts of the town, will in all likelihood turn this annual local celebration into a food festival of genuinely national import, combining a celebration of finest Deise fare with a probing programme that addresses the iniquities of the current food production system, at the Food Done Right Talks Stage, with speakers assembled including some of the country’s most esteemed food writers, chefs, activists, journalists, and business people.
