1100 Years of Amazing Histoy

The Reg’s resident historian and storyteller invites you to join him for a sumptuous dinner in the Reg where you will experience a fun and thoroughly entertaining journey through 1100 years of Waterford’s history, most of which took place in the shadow of the adjacent Viking Reginalds Tower.

The Dinner is part history, part song, part anecdote all intertwined with a bit of tonque in cheek humour where our storyteller will try to personalise each Dinner to some of the nationalities and ancestry of our guests .

Our Chefs have created a fine dining menu from Waterford’s unique past using the best traditional seafood, meats, vegetables, honey and famous “Blaa” bread, but with a modern twist.

Toast the Key Events in True Waterford Crystal Style

This is the exact location where the Vikings arrived in Waterford and established the first Irish city in 914 AD. At Irelands Ancient Feast, you will discover who were the only foe the mighty Viking warriors were unable to vanquish - their new Irish wives .

For those fortunate enough to marry an Irish woman, you will know what happened next ! They married the Vikings and immediately set about changing them forever.

The Reg – the Perfect Setting to Touch, Taste and Toast History

Discover how the Waterford marriage of the Norman Knight Strongbow and daughter of the King of Leinster, Aoife, was to change Irish history forever, and how the charity of the Waterford Quakers was to inspire the creation of the Irish Triclour and its unveiling in front of the Reg in 1848, while Famine Ships left the Quays 100 meters away .

We hope that, in the heart of Irelands Oldest City, you join us as we toast “Slainte” or Good health in true Waterford style – in a genuine Waterford Crystal Glass .
