BIA FestWhiskey Dinner
Mon 27 July★6pm – 8:45pm★Neighbourhood Cafe
Our flagship dinner — six courses matched with six drinks, hosted by chef Paul Cunningham. The standout evening of the week.
Paul Cunningham cooks the Mournes. A Great British Menu chef and the founder of Mourne Larder, he has built his reputation on delicate, organic, sustainable cooking — produce foraged and gathered from the mountains and coastline of County Down and treated with the respect it deserves.
For one night at Neighbourhood Cafe, that cooking meets its match: six courses, each paired with a distinguished pour — including drams from Killowen Distillery, made high in the same Mournes the menu comes from. Food and whiskey from the same tír, on the same table. This is the dinner the rest of the week gets measured against.
Important: This is an 18+ event. ID may be required on arrival.
