    Lovely review of the foodie scene in west waterford & of WWFOF in The The Guardian newspaper the other day.

    My home county of Waterford is very much under the radar, although I expect not for much longer, since it just won Irish food destination of the year. We have wonderful producers – particularly for oysters, gin, beer and cheese – and a local soft, white, floury bread roll called blaa, that can be traced back to the arrival of the Huguenots in the 1690s.

    There’s a majestic coastline and the gorgeous West Waterford Festival of Food, held in Dungarven every spring (17-19 April 2020). You can go on seafood foraging walks (the Sea Gardener is running a walk on 12 October); visit the Dungarvan Brewing Company, where beers are bottle-conditioned (eliminating the need to add further gas) and named after local landmarks; the Blackwater craft gin distillery); and devour local oysters at The Tannery in Dungarvan – chef-patron Paul Flynn cooked at two-Michelin star Chez Nico in London before moving home. The Tannery also has a cooking school (courses from €75) and rooms in the Townhouse. Grow HQ in Waterford City is the national headquarters of GIY Ireland, a grow-it-yourself movement, and has a terrific cafe. And you can burn it all off on the 44km Greenway, a cycle path on a disused railway that hugs the coast all the way from Dungarvan to Waterford City.
