Once a month, Stathams Restaurant at the Pembroke Kilkenny Hotel opens its doors for something a step beyond a standard dinner out. The Stathams Supper Club brings together food lovers, local producers, farmers, artisans, and entrepreneurs around a shared table for an evening that is as much about conversation and connection as it is about the food itself. If you enjoy knowing the story behind what is on your plate - and meeting the people who grew, made, or inspired it - this is exactly that kind of night.
Each session is built around a curated two-course meal put together in collaboration with the evening’s featured guests. Those guests might be a farmer, a cheesemaker, a winemaker, a local artist, or a food entrepreneur - whoever has shaped the menu for that particular evening. They join diners at the event to talk through their work, the ingredients, and the ideas behind the dishes.
The welcome drink sets the tone on arrival, and the pace from there is relaxed and unhurried. This is not a ticketed event where you eat and leave quickly - conversations carry on well after the plates are cleared. The restaurant itself is the fine-dining arm of the Pembroke Kilkenny, a hotel with a strong local reputation on The Parade in the city centre, so the setting is comfortable and properly looked after.
The club runs on the last Sunday of each month - the June date is 28 June, with July (26), August (31), and September (27) to follow through the summer and into autumn. If you plan to come to more than a few, there is a membership option: ten events for €400, saving €100 on standard individual pricing.
Kilkenny is well connected by rail and bus from Dublin (roughly 1 hour 45 minutes by train from Heuston Station), Waterford, and Cork. The Pembroke Kilkenny is on The Parade, a short walk from Kilkenny train station and directly across from Kilkenny Castle. If you are driving, the city has several multi-storey and surface car parks close to the hotel - parking on a Sunday evening is generally easier than during the week.
An evening supper club on a Sunday is a good reason to make a weekend of it - the mediaeval city repays slow exploration, with the castle, the Black Abbey, and the craft quarter all within easy walking distance. There is more to see in Kilkenny and across Co. Kilkenny.
