The Banqueting Hall of Lismore Castle returned to the style to which it was once accustomed last night as harpists, jesters and honoured guests heralded the launch of the 2010 Waterford Festival of Food.
`
Some of the county's finest chefs served up a venerable feast of suckling pig, stew, salmon, artisan bread and cakes and custard tarts to a happily sated crowd. Costumed ladies of the house welcomed guests as they arrived and Sir Walter Raleigh ushered the crowd round his old domain.
`
If the wonderfully atmospheric evening that delighted all present is a harbinger of the Festival of Food which is to follow on 16th-18th April then we are all in for a treat!
