Samhain marks the turning point in the calendar where an end comes to the season of light, and the beginning of the dark half of the year is traditionally welcomed with bonfires, great gatherings and feasts. Celebrate that turning point this year at Slane Castle, with a series of four dinners over consecutive nights, created and delivered by Jordan Bailey and Majken Bech-Bailey.

Jordan and Majken, the dynamic young husband and wife team behind Aimsir, the fastest straight to two-Michelin stars in the Great Britain and Ireland Guide, are now currently operating their own unique hospitality and events consultancy, Bech-Bailey.
Jordan will be taking the helm in the Slane Castle kitchens, designing a 9-course tasting menu featuring the very best of local, Irish produce, focusing on ingredients from the grounds at Slane Castle and the 90-acre organic Rock Farm on the estate, as well as from the wider Boyne Valley.

Creating a contemporary Samhain feast, Jordan’s generous sharing main course references centuries of harvest festival traditions — a traditional centrepiece of pork cooked over fire, local Slane pork glazed with Slane Irish Whiskey, and cooked over coals in the Castle Courtyard.

Majken will curate the guests’ journey, sprinkling her magic on every aspect of each diner’s experience, from the welcome drink to the dinner’s grand neo-Gothic ballroom setting at the castle, decorated with seasonal elements foraged from the grounds, through to the dining experience and wine and juice pairings.
