As another year of Irish food festivals draws to an end, it is very much a case of leaving some of the best until last and there is probably no finer selection of Irish food producers to be found than at the small but perfectly formed Sheridan’s Irish Food Festival (Sept 24, 10am-6pm) which takes place each year in Sheridan’s HQ in Virginia Rd Station, Co Meath.

Regular readers will of course be well acquainted with The Menu’s great grá and respect for the cheesemonger brothers Sheridan, Seamus and Kevin, and for their enormous contribution to the world of Irish food, not least through their national chain of outlets retailing finest Irish and world cheeses along with a superb selection of other deli products.
