At the beginning of September we started a farm programme with Finlough – one of our organic suppliers in Co. Roscommon. Every week we send down one of our chefs who spends a few days learning about the soil, weeding, how to trim plants properly, how to weed properly, how to harvest correctly, how […]
Japanese knotweed (Fallopia Japonica) is an invasive alien. A pest. Feared by most gardeners or land owners, its root system is so aggressive that it dominates and eventually kills pretty much all other herbaceous life around it over the course of a few years.

SignA is the culmination of a few years of creative input from Stefano Schiavocampo & Massi Galli, with Rossa Cassidy and Brian O’Shea pulled in for live shows.

Jeanette Lowe’s Pepe’s is currently sitting proud on the stage. The iconic neon sign of the now closed Pepes restaurant in Stoneybatter being somewhat ironic on display in another cafe. We love it.
