Irish Feast Food Tours: ‘For food is history on a plate. No ingredient or combination of ingredients arrives by accident. There’s always a reason for them being there. They tell of trade, conquest, migration, social change. Any people’s fundamental identity is lodged in their food.’ On an Irish Feast food tour, whether in Ballycastle or Bushmills, Glenarm or Rathlin Island, we tell tales of ancient peoples and modern foods; of Viking raiders and English sailors; of the great clans of yesterday and the collaborative industry of today. Discover old recipes and new trends; talk to traditional family-owned restaurants and up and coming artisan cafes and eateries; taste all our history and culture, and truly experience the creative future of our home on a scintillating, surprising, seriously tasty Irish Feast Food Tour. Please join us! Remember the Irish proverb: Laughter is brightest where food is served best. We'll show you the truth of this. See you soon.
