Guess what! We are delighted to say some of the Ladies from our FIRE Team will be taking part in the VHI Women’s Marathon and would love to celebrate with you afterwards when retiring to FIRE, FIRE is located on Dawson street which is less than a 10-minute walk from the finish line on Baggot Street.
We would like to welcome you to FIRE once the marathon is complete to enjoy a complimentary glass of Prosecco on us after all the hard work you put in fundraising for the charity of your choice and of course for reaching the finish line!
Why not enjoy your complimentary glass of prosecco on our beautiful terrace, a summer sanctuary in the heart of the city centre, the perfect place to sit back, relax and unwind while taking in the view of both Dawson Street and the Lord Mayor’s Private Garden.
To fuel that post-race hunger why not try a dish from our Summer Menu? Our new Fennel and Citrus Salad is a light and refreshing dish with the most beautiful colours or our delicious Salmon Nicoise gives you a true taste of summer, roast salmon served with Quail egg, sautéed baby potatoes, fine beans, black olives, red onion with tomato pesto & with wilted rocket.
Lastly, we would like to wish all you Ladies who are taking part in the VHI mini marathon whether you are walking, running or jogging a huge Goodluck! And we hope you will join our team back in FIRE to celebrate and enjoy some great food and a complimentary glass of prosecco for all participants!
