L Mulligan pops up at CATEX

Mulligan’s dining service was casual but very efficient and the gastro-pub even had the foresight to push its own microbrewed beers to accompany the dishes on offer.

L Mulligan, the increasingly popular pub in Dublin’s Stoneybatter, ran a pop-up restaurant under the auspices of the RAI Restaurant@CATEX in the RDS, Dublin, recently.

Held in conjunction with the RAI, it was one of three ‘live’ RAI member restaurants which – alongside Fallon & Byrne and The Pig’s Tale – catered for those attending the show by working from a custom-built onsite kitchen and restaurant.

‘From Farm to Fork’ denoted the theme for this year’s RAI Restaurant and the focus was on local producers and how their ingredients are being used on menus in more and more restaurants.

Well-known already for championing local producers, Mulligan’s dining service was casual but very efficient and the gastro-pub even had the foresight to push its own microbrewed beers to accompany the dishes on offer.

Dr Rudi Single Hop Belgian Style Ale was the recommended dish for its fish & chips.

An Irish-made product, it formed part of the ‘Brown Paper Bag Project’, not a brewery but a collection of “brewers, drinkers and dreamers” who create tasty beer in different locations – not unlike the Gypsy Brewer himself.

This particular beer was ‘dreamed up’ by Brian Short, Michael Foggarty, Seáneen Sullivan while being brewed by Brian and Colin Hession assisted by Cam Wallace and Scott Baigent in 8 Degrees Brewing in Mitchelstown, County Cork.

Additionally, the pub’s menu offered customers the opportunity to pair some of its extended selection of craft beers with the dishes on offer which were made with such loving care by Seáneen Sullivan while Fallon & Byrne’s Head Chef Tom Meeghan and The Pig’s Tale’s Garret Bradshaw performed the honours on the other two days of the exhibition.
