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.
Obsidian Oil
This oil is based on the Japanese practice of adding an aromatic element to a dish, something that plays on your sense of smell as well as your sense of taste. The mayu - a burnt garlic oil - goes against everything you know about cooking, and yet it’s incredible, akin to the taste of black truffle. Coupled with the citrus fruits, this oil is complex and full of surprises.
