St Patrick's Week at LMG

A rather fetching postcard. 

Spurning green beer, shamrock shaped antennae and somewhat terrifying adult sized leprauchaun outfits in favour of celebrating Irish food and drink, our first St Patrick's Day celebrations will include: Blind Tasting evening on the search for the Ultimate Irish Coffee, whiskey/beer food matching dinner on St Patrick's Eve and a beer tasting on Saturday 19th.

Places are limited for the St Patrick’s Eve Whiskey Dinner, so to book email table (at) lmulligangrocer (dot) com.
