• Knappogue Castle Medieval Banquet

    August 15, 2024 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C

    This was a lovely evening even though I had a terrible seat! I certainly cannot fault the quantity of food. Four courses did not leave us hungry. One couple in our party were nominated as a king and queen and sat in state at the head of the hall.

    The food was great. We had a lovely soup, but because this was the Middle Ages, no soup spoons, we drank straight from our bowls.

    The entertainment was great fun. Traditional music and dance. Of course our kings and queens had to reign and breaches in the code of chivalry severely punished. My poor Lord Edward, had to sing to spare his head!

    Our valet host - Connor - was celebrating his birthday so we sang to him too. All in all, a lot of fun.
