Introducing Boyne Valley Bites

Boyne Valley Flavours, with support from Fáilte Ireland, are delighted to announce the Boyne Valley Bites initiative. Our aim is to encourage more Boyne Valley dishes on restaurant menus, particularly during the local festivals of Púca, Lú Festival of Light and Samhain, taking place this October and November. We invite YOU to participate in this campaign, at no cost to your business. Take advantage of this opportunity to showcase a Boyne Valley dish on your menu and benefit from extensive marketing and promotion which will drive more footfall to your venue. The campaign will focus on the festival towns of Trim, Athboy, Drogheda and Kells. If successful, we hope to extend this initiative into the wider Boyne Valley region. 

What would we like you to do?
We invite you to list a “Boyne Valley Bite” on your menu to coincide with the festival that is taking place in your area. Join us this September for a FREE workshop where Conor Halpenny, from the award-winning The Square restaurant, and Tara Walker, long-time cookery instructor, will demonstrate 6 dishes with suggested local drinks pairings.  Choices will range from traditional fare to fine dining and will include vegetarian, vegan and dessert options. You can either chose one of these Boyne Valley Bites for your menu, or use as inspiration to develop your own. If you can't attend a workshop you can still participate in the initiative. Please scroll down to register your interest.

• 6 fully costed seasonal recipes containing Boyne Valley ingredients with optional local drinks pairings
