Following on from the success of Food for Thought’s previous pop-ups in Richmond, The Pigeon House Delgany and most recently Locks, the next date and venue in the series has been announced.

On Sunday August 12th, Food for Thought will take up residence in Opium for a casual and relaxed BBQ style event. Guests can expect delicious finger food like pig on a spit, monk tail tacos, salt-baked and barbecued celeriac and BBQ duck hearts, served up throughout the afternoon with a live DJ on the decks.

The aim of this event is to celebrate the industry coming together and supporting each other through the hard times, Dan commented, and “to push the fact that it is ok to talk about mental health in the hospitality industry”.

Having raised over €10,000 over the course of the pop up supper club series for charities such as 3ts. 3ts works to help prevent deaths by suicide through research, intervention and support.
