After much consideration, I am sorry to announce that we will be pausing the Monaghan Taste Club.
Since 2017, the Monaghan Taste Club has been a fantastic community project, bringing people together around great food and memorable dining experiences. Over the years, chefs and hospitality teams from across County Monaghan have welcomed us into their restaurants and served some truly incredible meals. Their creativity, generosity, and support have been the heart of this project, and I am immensely grateful to each and every one of them.
Unfortunately, with declining ticket sales and the ongoing pressures facing the restaurant industry, it has become increasingly difficult to sustain the project in its current form. While this is not the outcome I had hoped for, I believe it is the right time to pause and reflect on what the future might hold.
One thing I know for certain is that we are incredibly fortunate in Monaghan to have such a vibrant and talented food community. I would encourage everyone to continue supporting our local restaurants. Visit your favourites, try somewhere new, and rediscover places you think you already know. Every booking, every meal, and every recommendation makes a difference.
This may be the end of a chapter, but I will continue to explore ways that the Monaghan Taste Club might return in the future.
Thank you to everyone who attended an event, bought a ticket, spread the word, partnered with us, or simply cheered us on over the years. Your support has meant so much.
Eat well, support local, and I hope to see you around.
Jenn
