After the joy of hosting our Midsummer Feast last month we’re back for more summer celebrations at The Edible Flower farmhouse.
We’re absolutely delighted to be teaming up for this event with curious cook and finder of weird and wonderful wild things to eat, Clare McQuillan. A lifelong food obsessive, Clare has just recently jumped from a desk job into pursuing her interest full time catering for events, leading foraging walks and helping out at outstanding Comber Deli Indie Fude.
(See Clare’s instagramming awesomeness here)
For this menu, we’ll be celebrating all of summer’s wild bounty with ingredients collected from for the hedgerows, seashores and woodlands of Belfast and County Down.
Expect some delicious new and exciting wild ingredients, alongside some of our freshly grown veg and salad and favourite Northern Irish produce.
