VIDEO: Athlone Food Circle showcases variety of food choices in town

Athlone Food Circle has just launched the first in a series of videos showcasing the surprising diversity of food choices in the town.

The food circle's member businesses represent everything from fine dining to coffee culture as well as excellent food and drink producers from the local area.

The video features some of the superb work being done in the kitchens of award-winning Athlone restaurants such as Thyme and The Fatted Calf.

The Villager gastropub in Glasson is highlighted along with cafés like Beans & Leaves, Kelly’s, and the Bastion Kitchen.

On the producer side, Dead Centre Brewing is almost unique amongst breweries with its taproom and pizzeria, while new kids on the block Praliné Chocolaterie are making a real impact with their hand-crafted chocolates.

You can watch the mouth-watering video here:

These are just some of the businesses in the fledgling Athlone Food Circle which is set to raise the profile of food and drink in the area.

Under the guidance of chairperson Deirdre Adamson, Head Chef at Glasson Lakehouse, the network has also developed a compelling food story for Athlone and presented a series of training seminars.
