The 4th All Ireland Chowder Cook-Off sees a mixture of 32 top professional restaurant chefs, fishermen and those producing popular commercial chowders represent their county and compete for the coveted title. Members of the public will be the judges in this highly anticipated contest. Everyone will receive a voting card upon entry which allows them to sample all chowders from the individual stalls and cast their vote to crown Ireland's chowder champion 2014.
This event is the pinnacle of a two day family festival that is being held in Kinsale and the town will be transformed into a massive open-air street market with lots of fun family activities throughout the town. Food stalls hosted by many of the local businesses will sell delicious samples and dishes for under €5, and there will be something for everyone to enjoy.
Tickets for Sunday's All-Ireland Chowder Cook-Off, which include samples of all chowders, are €10 each or €25 for a family pass, and are available at the door as well as from Finishing Services and Acton's Hotel, Kinsale.
