March is just around the corner, which means all celtic-blooded people in London ought to be in training for the annual festival of the Irish, St Patrick's Day. Now while Hot Dinners has nothing but pure Irish blood flowing in our veins, we've grown to prefer mixing our marathon Guinness tasting with a little food (old age and all that). And what better place could there be to do just that than heading to Richard Corrigan's fine establishment in Mayfair for some of the black stuff (that's Guinness as well as pudding).
From the 14th to the 20th March 2011, Corrigan's will host an Irish Festival of Food offering such delights as crubeens (braised pigs' feet - a sort of Irish bar snack), Irish Stew with colcannon, oyster stout rarebit, Corrigan’s soda bread and Guinness andt treacle tart. Their Irish Market Menu (available from 12-3pm Monday to Friday) will be available at only £27.00 for three courses, inclusive of a 250ml carafe of wine, which is a pretty good deal and the restaurant's cheese trolley will be entirely Irish for one week.
'It is our day to celebrate the finest of Irish food, fun, laughter and good company,' Corrigan told Hot Dinners. 'There is superb food available from small artisan producers which we always champion at Corrigan’s Mayfair.'
