I took my daughter to Ireland for her 21st birthday, and she always dreamed of making an in home meal Irish meal like this. The experience was everything we hoped for and more. Kate was so hospitable and charming. Her home was lovely and cozy and I love that she already had her Christmas tree up. It added to the holiday feeling and the drive out to her home was beautiful. The stew was also delicious and we have made her recipe of stew and scones here in America (California) now a few times. I would recommend this experience to anyone traveling towards the Galway area.

What a great day!

Joanne_A, Oct 2025

Kate did a great job with choice of meal and organization. The kitchen was in her cozy Irish garden home and we had a chance to pick some of our own herbs for the meal! It was a great day! Joanna from Long Beach California

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Joanne thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure having you for the Irish stew class, Kate

Ok

LotteWadsbach_S, Jul 2025

It is not free Pick up even though they say that under details. So We had to pay 10 euro for Pick up. It was pretty much business

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Lotte-- thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you were surprised by the €10 pickup fee. The fee is listed before booking and helps cover the cost of fuel and time spent traveling to and from the bus stop. Sorry again for any misunderstanding, we will try to make this clearer in the future. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip!

A must do experience in Galway!

Highlight of our Ireland trip

Kate is so delightful We not only made stew as we had booked but basically an entire meal. We then sat at her kitchen table and enjoyed it with her. We shared stories, laughing the entire time. She made us feel like instant family. This is a must do for everyone!
