ATF Insiders - August's Monthly 9 Giveaway

It's that time of the month where we announce our monthly 9 giveaways for August, and once again we have a cracking line up of prizes for ATF Insiders, to thank you for supporting our content. Everyone subscribed by Tuesday 17th August will be entered into the draw, and winners will be picked and notified on Wednesday 18th August. Here's what's coming up...

1) Two Tickets For Allta's Summer House

It's been the hit of the summer, with the hospitality glitterati (and the rest) travelling to Allta Summer House on the grounds of Slane Castle each weekend to eat Dexter beef tartare, Cromane oysters with damson, and whole slow-roasted turbot with gooseberry beurre blanc. We've got two tickets to give away for their service on castle grounds on Sunday 12th September.

2) A Champagne Reception And Wine Pairing Dinner At Monty's

Monty's of Kathmandu is known for Nepalese dumplings, tandoor oven fired rotis, and the private wine room of your dreams. One of our lucky readers will be heading there (with a plus one) for a Pol Roger champagne reception hosted by owner Shiva in their Santa Rita wine room, followed by a six course tasting menu with matching wines in the dining room.

3) A Duck Tasting Menu For Four At Woodruff

We eat in Woodruff weekly with our eyes, thanks to their insane Instagram game - and having been there we can tell you it lives up to the pictures. We've got a four course tasting menu of salt-aged Feighcullen duck with wine pairings to give away to one of you, and you can bring three people along for the ride.

4) A Back To Dine Box Delivered To Your Home

Back To Dine's current at home box looks like a feast and a half. It's a modern Italian, seven-course menu from chef Temple Garner, featuring dishes like Vitello Tonnato, rabbit croquette, and gremolata-rolled porchetta. Not forgetting the Amarena cherry and almond frangipane doughtnut with diplomat cream for the day after. One of you will be winning a box for next weekend, for collection or delivery within Dublin.

5) A Meal For Four At Aventura

Our favourite sunshine-filled Venezuelans at Aventura Café have opened their first restaurant in Portmarnock, serving brunch and dinner like their signature picanha steak with chimichurri, chicken alitas with pineapple sauce, and nachos with pulled pork, homemade tomato salsa and the chef's special cheese sauce. They're going to treat one of you to a meal for four people with starters, mains and desserts, any time from Wednesday - Saturday.

6) A Jamon, Cheese And Sherry Hamper From Spain Iberico

You may have seen how excited we were a few months ago to have discovered Spain Iberico, and to finally have a source for top of the range Spanish jamon, goat's cheese and sherry without having to get on a plane. They're giving one of you an incredible hamper of four different types of Jamon Iberico, two goat's cheeses, salted almonds, pico breadsticks, and one of our favourite Manzanilla sherries from Bodegas Alonso.

7) Ramen, Bao And Gyoza From Yumo Kits

Yumo Kits did much to brighten up our lockdowns with their excellent ramen, gyoza and bao kits, available for nationwide delivery. They're giving one of you a ramen kit for two, a gyoza kit AND a bao kit. You can share (or not) with however many people you'd like.

8) A €100 Voucher For Cluck Chicken

Cluck have made Walkinstown a go-to area for fried chicken with their Mother Clucker Burgers, truffle parmesan tenders and kimchi cheese fries. To celebrate their move to free-range, organic birds from Ring Farm in Kilkenny, we've got a €100 voucher to give away, so you can bring your mates and go clucking mad.

9) A Pizza Party For Six From The Dough Bros

This week The Dough Bros in Galway were named best pizzeria in Ireland by 50 Top Pizza, a guide to the best pizzerias in Italy and worldwide. If you tried and failed to get one of their at home pizza kits during lockdown (demand was fierce), you'll probably be excited at the thought of a pizza party for six, with bases and a selection of toppings, beer from White Hag, The Dough Bros socks (to keep your feet warm obvs), postcards and other merch.
