What to expect
Clew Bay Hotel
Make traditional Irish soda bread and scones yourself while getting an insight into Irish food culture and heritage. When your scones are baked smother them with lashings of Irish country butter and locally made homemade jam over a cup of tea and a chat. Bring home with you the brown soda bread that you baked yourself! What better way to get to know Ireland than through its people and its food!
The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
