It’s never been done before.

But this summer, a group of 50 lucky diners will sit down for a lavish meal at tables arranged under the iconic fountain inside Cork’s English Market.

A headline event at this year’s Cork on a Fork Fest, the magical night will begin at 7pm on Saturday, August 16th.

Supper by the Fountain will see three of the city’s most respected chefs — Pamela Kelly of Farmgate Café, Aishling Moore of Goldie, and Harrison Sharpe of Elbow Lane — collaborate on a specially designed menu that puts the English Market’s rich array of local produce centre stage.

Guests will be seated around the Market’s iconic fountain for a multi-course meal that reflects the city’s food culture, with each course paired by local wine specialists Bubble Brothers, who are also based in the English Market. The chefs will introduce their dishes and share stories behind their creations and the produce.

The night begins with a drinks reception, sponsored by Rebel City Distillery and Elbow Lane, and there will also be live music.

“I grew up shopping in the Market with my parents — now I’m sourcing ingredients here as a chef.” said Aishling Moore of Goldie.

“It’s such a joy to celebrate its producers in this way, surrounded by their stalls, and to cook alongside two chefs that I really admire.”

Tickets are priced at €128 plus booking fee and go on sale today, Monday, June 16th.
