FOOD & DRINK
2 November, Union Cafe Mount Merrion
FODDER hosts Supper Clubs which are once off evenings of relaxed and social dining where the atmosphere focuses on spending time with the people you know and love but also an opportunity to meet new future friends. The “secret menu” is carefully curated for each event and is revealed to diners on the night. The dishes aim to avoid being fussy or convoluted, but are seriously dedicated to being a party in the mouth, as well as some solid feeding. The hope is that people can come along to the FODDER Supper Club, eat some delish food, and chat to someone new.
