fEast Cork Food Festival, in Midleton

The Menu will be hot-footing it to marvellous Midleton next weekend for yet another outing of his Grub Circus food extravaganza at fEast Cork Food Festival (September 7-10) on the closing Sunday, but that is just one part of a multi-faceted programme that begins the previous Thursday with myriad events in the market town and its East Cork hinterland, the edible yin to West Cork’s yang.

From Castlemartyr Hotel and Resort, head “out the gate” and around the corner to near neighbour, The Hunted Hog for an evening feast, while Kate Manning of Ballinookera Farm conducts a number of bee-related events, including one at Grub Circus on the Sunday.
