Rachel Allen to star at this butcher’s charity night
Dublin People 28 Nov 2015
ONE of Stillorgan’s oldest butcher shops is aiming to raise €10,000 for charity by sponsoring ‘An Evening with Rachel Allen’, a food and fun event in aid of LauraLynn and Blackrock Hospice on Wednesday, March 2.
The celebrated TV chef, cook, author and columnist dropped into Fenelons Butchers in Stillorgan Shopping Centre recently to meet owner Clif Lenehan for a photocall to help raise awareness of what promises to be a mouthwatering culinary event at the Pavilion in Leopardstown Racecourse.
Joining Rachel and Clif were fundraising directors Eleanor Flew from the Blackrock Hospice and Sarah Meagher from LauraLynn. The evening will also feature well-known TV3 presenter Anna Daly as master of ceremonies as well as local artisan food and craft stalls
“I will be showing how to cook some of my favourite seasonal dishes and hopefully, we’ll also have plenty of fun along the way,” Rachel said. “The Lauralynn and the Blackrock hospices do wonderful work and I am very pleased to be involved with Fenelons in helping to raise much needed funds to help them continue the outstanding care and support they provide to patients and their loved ones.”
Owner Clif Lenehan started work in Fenelons in his teens and took over the business in 2007. Clif said: “50 years in business is a major milestone and I wanted to celebrate by giving something back to our local community.
“I’m over the moon that Rachel is headlining this very special fundraising event and Anna Daly will be our master of ceremonies. The tickets are now available in-store and online in plenty of time to make a fabulous Christmas present or stocking filler for anyone looking for ideas.”
Established in 1966, Fenelons Butchers employs 16 staff at its premises in Stillorgan Shopping Centre. It is a certified member of the Associated Craft Butchers of Ireland.
Tickets for ‘An Evening with Rachel Allen’ on Wednesday, March 2 at the Pavilion in Leopardstown Racecourse are €25 each and are available in-store and online at www.fenelons.ie
