strawberry raid iV  
advance Food order

Strawberry Raid IV is a private event hosted by the Society for Creative Anachronism from 28 May to 2 June 2025. Attendees must register in advance. Please do NOT order food below until you have registered and paid for the event! This page is ONLY for that event.

 

During the event, the Coach House cafe will be open from roughly 8 am to 7 pm from Thursday through Sunday. Please check onsite for any open hours on Wednesday or Monday - TBD.

 

Join us for a Rishneen (snack), Drigheen (little drink) or Enteete (nap in the middle of the day). Now you are a local and know some Yola words, the ancient language of Forth and Bargy baronies. 

 

The cafe will offer a la cart purchase of hot and cold beverages and cafe snacks (e.g., cakes, scones, crisps etc) during the full hours.

 

For meals (see below) , you need to order and pay ahead. Then we will make and purchase for quantity reserved. It is possible there may be a few extra meals available on the day but we cannot guarantee this. We are cooking the same plan for our household and guests. If you want to be sure of a meal, reserve and pay in advance! Sorry no refund after 14 May  as we will be buying the food and cannot end up with a lot of waste. The meals add up to €23 per day if you want all, which includes VAT.

 

If you want to trade a meal for a work shift in the cafe we need to work this out in advance for proper coverage. Shifts will be  2 hours per meal. Please contact me with your intent/desire via email at lizjones429@earthlink.net. No one may sign up for all shifts or all free meals - probably max of 1 or 2 shifts each day (no one, including us, want to spend all day in the kitchen when there is so much else to do!) We are aligning the meal times with the schedule of the event. Please don't arrive after the scheduled time and expect a hot meal!

 

Cafe and meal guests are invited to eat indoors in the Coach House or outdoors in the nearby seating areas. Outside of meal times other event attendees are welcome to use the seating for general purposes with preference always to cafe customers - we will gently or loudly clear an area if needed!

 

Please bring your own feast gear if possible! There will be washing up areas in the campsite. Contact us in advance with any restrictions like gluten, vegetarian or vegan to see if we can accommodate. Menus posted below are for general idea and not customized to any restrictions. We will only season/spice in a minimal way - food will be flavorful but not “spicy” or very salty - add your own!

 

Full Cafe days on Thursday through Sunday. Monday morning a la cart whatever is left for breakfast
