‘Table for 450’
A team of Cork chefs is preparing to meet demand for “A Table of 450 Diners”.
MacCurtain Street will be transformed into a vibrant open-air dining room for 450 guests for the “VQ Shared Table”, which is already sold out. The event takes place on the opening night of “Cork on a Fork Fest”, which is organised by Cork City Council and runs from 13th - 17th August. The VQ will be donating €5 from each ticket sale to Cork Penny Dinners.
Now in its second year, the large-scale chef collaboration dinner is sponsored by Birra Moretti and showcases the best of Cork’s culinary talent and local produce. Taking place on one of the city’s most celebrated food streets, the event brings together 20 chefs and over 40 front-of-house staff from the VQ area’s top restaurants. Guests will dine at a shared table stretching from the Metropole Hotel to Gallaghers.
The participating venues include The Glass Curtain, The Metropole Hotel, Greenes, Isaacs Restaurant, Da Mirco, Gallaghers, Paladar, The Dean, Cask, The Address, Thompson's, Moxy Cork, The Shelbourne Bar, Gabriel House and Son of a Bun.
Curated sharing plates bursting with seasonal, local flavour will be served, alongside drinks from Birra Moretti, Maharani Gin (Rebel City Distillery), West Cork Whiskey and wine from MacCurtain Wine Cellar.
With a strong focus on food sustainability, guests will be encouraged to take home leftovers in provided boxes, while surplus food from the kitchen will be redistributed by FoodCloud.
