Plan Your Evening Ahead

  • What is included in the evening?

    Each evening features a seasonal tasting menu. You’ll have the chance to enjoy a series of courses, all made with locally sourced ingredients, and connect with other guests in a warm, communal setting.

  • How many guests are seated at each event?

    Each evening is a single, seasonal sitting for up to six people to ensure an intimate experience where everyone feels at home. You may know some, all or none of the other guests, this is part of the experience.

  • Are drinks served on the night?

    Bear In Mind is BYOW (Bring Your Own Wine), so please feel free to bring along a bottle to enjoy with your meal. We kindly ask that you bring just enough for a pleasant evening. Water will be provided throughout the night. If you would prefer not to drink on the night, non-alcoholic options will be available on the night.

  • Is there formal table service?

    Bear In Mind does not include formal table service, food is prepared and served by Paul. Guests are encouraged to step into the kitchen, interact with Paul, and observe the cooking process up close. It’s an evening designed for connection, not only with the food but with each other.

  • Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

    At this time, due to the confinements of a home kitchen, no dietary requirements or preferences can be accommodated.

  • Where is Bear In Mind located?

    Bear In Mind is hosted in a quiet neighbourhood just outside Galway city centre close to a bus stop and easily accessible by taxi. There is also free parking available outside. Once you confirm your reservation, the exact address and additional details will be provided.

  • What is the dress code?

    There is no formal dress code but it is encouraged to dress smart casual. This is an informal, relaxed evening designed for you to feel comfortable.

  • How often are supper club events held?

    Bear In Mind operates as a seasonal supper club with select dates throughout the year. Each event is unique and crafted around the best ingredients available at that time. Dates will be announced about one month before the night.

  • What is the cancellation policy?

    Given our limited seating and the purchasing of produce in advance, 5 days notice for cancellations is required; this allows for cancelled tickets to be offered to another guest. Please reach out as soon as possible if you need to change your plans. I am acutely aware that life happens and unexpected events are unavoidable.
