Happy Birthday...

...to On the Pigs Back.... the Douglas Cafe is 1 year old and Isabelle Sheridan celebrated in style and invited her faithful customers and friends to join her and she combined her celebration with the launch of a new exhibition of the artist Valerie Walsh Jolley.

True to her style, Isabelle offered an amazing buffet and wonderful wine. I was too busy chatting away to John Grey and his beautiful wife Ellen - whom I haven't seen in 5 years so I didn't pay the attention to the food it actually deserved.

For the Christmas season, On the Pigs Back is offering a selection of hampers starting from €20. A luxury Gourmet hamper can be purchased for €120 - inn case you want to spoil that special someone.

But it doesn't end here - for the whole month of December, Isabelle is offering Late Friday's. So if you are doing your late night shopping why not pop in to the cafe and have a glass of wine or two. You will get served finger food and tapas with purchase of wine and bubbles.
