Come along and hear the stories behind Yellow Door and Burren Balsamic; from modest beginnings to multi-award winning businesses.      
 
Armagh native and renown food critic Joris Minne will chair the event which will include a glass of cider or apple juice on arrival and some delicious samples of Yellow Door and Burren Balsamic produce.
 
For over 30 years, Yellow Door, based in Portadown, has been crafting food of the highest quality. From a humble bakery to a food empire across Ireland, their journey is nothing short of remarkable. Owners Simon and Jilly Dougan will give an insight into their work and share the ethos that continues to drive their successful business. Expect to hear tasty tales of culinary adventures, local produce love, and a strong commitment to sustainability.         

One of the key reasons for their success is sourcing the finest ingredients and working with local artisan producers to create world class menus. One such partnership is between Burren Balsamic and Yellow Door, so we are delighted that Burren owner Susie Hamilton Stubber and Chef Robert McDonald will talk about their award-winning products.                                                

Their journey began in 2014 when Susie made just a few bottles of Blueberry Balsamic Vinegar for a local charity fair. A few years later, respected and Master Chef of Great Britain Robert McDonald joined the team, bringing with him decades of experience within the restaurant industry.                         

The firm have continued to innovate, using time-honoured methods as they carefully infuse small-batch Balsamic Vinegar with local ingredients to create exceptional products used by chefs and home cooks alike.
