From the garden to the table
Carpa at Inish Beg.
Carpa
Our dining room, kitchen and events space at Inish Beg. We cook with produce from our organic gardens, alongside ingredients from growers and producers across West Cork. From intimate dinners around one table to weddings and larger celebrations.
We grow, we cook
Private dining
Seasonal menus built around produce from our organic gardens and the best of West Cork.
Named after our favourite trees on the island, Carpa is a dining room ispired by the landscape, with bespoke macrocarpa tables light shades and furniture designed for us from native timbers. Intimate enough for a small dinner, but designed to open up for larger celebrations.
Around the table
Carpa can be a dinner for friends, a tasting, a workshop or part of a larger celebration on the estate.
Carpa is run by Ophelia, who grew up at Inish Beg. After studying gastronomy in Italy and working in Beirut and London, she returned home to cook from the island and its gardens.
Private dinners at Inish Beg and bespoke catering beyond the estate, from long lunches to summer suppers by the sea.
Beyond the island
Our cooking begins on the island but is not confined to it. Carpa caters private events across West Cork and further afield by arrangement.
West Cork collaborations
Throughout the year, Carpa hosts dinners, visiting chefs and collaborations with people we admire, bringing new ideas and flavours to the island
