Feast

A Norman-Irish menu will be served to match the day’s theme of borders and cross-cultural pollination. Vegetarian and gluten-free options will be available, but the nature of home cooking means cross-contamination cannot be ruled out. Pre-registrants with dietary questions or restrictions should contact Chef Eva Nethyrwode.
