Manx Menu Small Plate: Gone Crabbing
A dish to evoke childhood memories of going crabbing, a visit to the seaside, kneeling on the quay in anticipation of a bite and the joy of hooking a crab.
With your bucket and crab line at the ready, a sprinkle of local pork crumb to entice the crab, dive into an assiette of local crab. Manx Crab Toastie, Crab Claw, and a Crab Croquette, a bed of crispy Manx kale, finished with a velvety crab bisque foam and dehydrated crab dust.
Manx ingredients:
• Niarbyl Crab
• Manx Kale
• Manx Potatoes
• Manx Pork
• Noa Focaccia

Manx Menu Dessert: Oie Voaldyn - Fire Festival
The Oie Voaldyn Festival is a reinterpretation and modernisation of the old Manx custom surrounding Oie Voaldyn or May Day Eve. Held on Peel beach, it is a time to celebrate the return of the fertility of the land, casting off darkness and celebrating light. The use of fire was one of a number of customs used at this time of year, to fend off witches and evil spirits.
Our Manx Menu Dessert Course. Baked 'Peel' Alaska. Oie Voaldyn on a plate. Soft Sponge like the golden sand of Peel's beach, layered with jam, local artisan cherry ice cream from Davison's and encased in a toasted whipped Italian meringue. Recreating the thrill of the Fire Festival, flaming Hoolie Rum is poured over the 'Peel Alaska' to fend of those witches and spirits, the evil ones, not the rum.
Manx Ingredients:
• Laxey Flour
• Manx Eggs
• Davison's Cherry Ice Cream
• Local strawberry jam
• Outliers Hurricane Rum
Manx Menu Cocktail: 13-35 - Lifeboat Saver
The RNLI recently marked its 200-year anniversary, being established here on our island. 13 - 25 is the number of Peel's Shannon Class Lifeboat.
Our Manx Menu Cocktail. '13 - 35' embodies the spirit and mission of the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) a blend of strength, resilience, and a nod to the sea. A storm is brewing, danger on the seas. Outliers Hoolie Rum, Manx Honey syrup and fresh lime juice, shaken like the rough winter sea, poured over rocks of ice in a commemorative RNLI 200 Glass. Topped with ginger infused Green Mann sparkling water. To the rescue, Fynoderee RNLI Gin, infused with orange bitters to give the distinctive orange colour of the lifeboat, is poured into the glass offering a visual and symbolic act of the brave men and women going to sea as live savers.
