Looking for food events in Ireland this July?
Time doesn’t by long in flying by in fairness. One minute it’s March, the next you’re checking your phone and discover it’s the first of July. No messing about.
At time of writing, Ireland is in the middle of a heat wave. You can tell this, not by the sun and soaring temperatures, but by the vast amounts of burger buns, burgers, sausages and disposable grills flying off the supermarket shelves.
I can’t recall getting to grill outdoors at all last year, and now you can’t get away from it. Long may it continue.
If you need a break from the outdoor grilling or you’re hungry to catch some food events around the country, these might be of help. Share your own event details for the months ahead by email here.
