The Dining Club
Long-table dinners & bespoke pop-up food events hosted at a historic Irish estate, with cooking by Leviathan’s James Gabriel Martin.
A unique experience that encourages community, drawing guests together in an intimate, convivial atmosphere while showcasing our passion for food and hospitality.
With a focus on seasonality, heritage and story-telling. Each one is unique, designed around a theme, with changing menus, entertainment, and table settings. Whitestown House Estate, nestled near
The Naul in North County Dublin, is set on 125 acres of farm and parkland. The historic demesne has remained intact since the 1600s and has a long and storied history of hospitality, marking it as the perfect venue for our events.

Cardamom & Apple Fritters
A wonderful autumn or winter treat, these fritters don’t take long to whip together. Any apples will do, but I much prefer tart green or cooking apples. The sparkling cider adds a wonderful light and tangy edge while the green cardamom pairs wonderfully and adds some much needed underlying warmth. They can be glazed or simply dusted in sugar.
Miso-glazed Aubergines with Tempura Pepper
This miso-glazed aubergine dish is vegan, simple and delicious. The crispy tempura that tops it is light and crispy and very satisfying. I spent quite some time trying different methods while developing the recipe, trying to create a tempura that is crisp and tasty and easy to make. The flavours come together nicely. Be sure to check out my tempura guide in the recipe cards.
Berenjenas con Miel (Fried Aubergines with Honey)
A Spanish staple, I am always delighted when a plate of sweet and savoury fried aubergines arrive, whether it’s as a tapa or a ración. Dark treacle or molasses add an extra layer of flavour, while honey also works as a sweeter alternative.
