Full course details

Festive Dining in Dublin

Walk into a kitchen transformed — candles lit, glasses clinking, that quiet hum before the first plate leaves the pass.

Our chefs design and serve a one-off seasonal menu that celebrates Irish ingredients and the warmth of the season. Guests dine around shared tables, with each course introduced by the team behind it.

It’s food worth celebrating, and every plate has a purpose: twenty per cent of each ticket goes directly to Blackrock Hospice, turning great food into genuine goodwill.

Limited seats available across two nights only. Secure your spot today!

Want to gift this experience? Just follow our normal booking process. You can book them on the course and choose if they need to receive any notification emails.

  • What if I have a food allergy or dietary restrictions?

    When making a booking be sure to highlight if your food allergy is life threatening, you must bring an Epi-pen. If your food allergy is airborne and severe, due to the wide range of course themes and events that we host, our environment is not safe for you and we regret that we cannot accept your booking. Please note that while every care will be taken to provide a safe and enjoyable cooking experience for all students, the allergen(s) you are affected by may have been handled at some point previous to your arrival, so there is always the risk of cross-contamination.
