About Irish Feast

Why does Irish Feast provide food tours of the North Coast of Ireland, the Causeway Coastal Route and the Glens of Antrim?  

Well, my strengths are talking, eating, walking and laughing which, when combined with a love of slow food, slow tourism, and a love of history led me to create walking food tours of local towns and villages.  Our area has an amazing history and culture and an unexpected food story attached to each town or village we walk through.  I love finding out about this and then love showing it to you.

​I'm proud to say that the Ballycastle Food Tour was shortlisted for the Belfast Telegraph's Inaugural Year of Food Drink Awards, in the category of Best Food Tour or Trail.   

The Team
As we grow, I have brought on board some specially chosen colleagues - OCN qualified and local history or food buffs or both!  

Ewen Friers

Picture
Ewen  in his own words: My background is in music and the arts and I have spent a lot of time travelling over the years, but I've always been drawn back to the North Coast. I grew up at White Park Bay and was lucky enough to experience the rich history, unique culture and gorgeous natural scenery first hand from an early age. I run various arts based events and initiatives in the town and am also a prominent member of the Ursa Minor bakery team, who specialise in fresh, ethical, local food.

​Ewen  in my words: I am delighted to have Ewen guide for North Coast Walking Tours/Irish Feast.  He's knowledgeable, friendly, a genuine rock star (Axis of and Catalan) and has a deep rooted love of food, history and local culture.  If Ewen is your guide, you'll have a great time!
