Join us for a special Great Pumpkin themed menu developed by Chef Matt Collins & Ironbound's Farmer-Chef Alec Gioseffi.
About this event
Our evening, celebrating this abundant autumnal time, begins with a gathering around the Motherfire — our Argentinian-inspired cooking hearth that sits at the heart of our Cider Garden. Guests will have a ring-side seat as our chefs roast, grill, and cook over open fire — transforming produce they’ve gathered from our fields and forest into a tasty selection of innovative small-bites. In the crisp autumnal air, you will feast on a variety of seasonal squashes, and be warmed by this hearty fall dinner (and the gentle heat of the Motherfire.) Our evening of experiential eating then moves tableside for a multi-course, family-style meal.
Throughout the evening cocktail pairings, prepared by Ironbound's mixologists, will be served: all created with our ciders, wines, fortified ciders and botanicals grown on the farm.
Seating for this dinner is extremely limited, so please book early. We look forward to celebrating this feast with you!

ABOUT THE CHEF
Born in Freehold, NJ, Matt has been cooking since he was a child. After graduating from The Culinary Institute of America, he took his career to NYC, becoming a Sous Chef at 21 years old. He has worked for The Smith, Keens Steakhouse, Rouge Tomate, Wolfgang Puck, Freemans, Dream Hotels and Smith & Wollensky. He continued his education with a stint in Europe at Chateau de Lignon and Institute Paul Bocuse, which lead him to becoming the Chef de Cuisine at Kilo Food & Wine in Hell’s Kitchen, where he ran a hyper seasonal menu from Union Square Farmers Market and earned #21 on Wine & Spirits Top 50 NYC List in 2018. After a decade of working in New York City, he decided to take what he learned back to “his hometown” and bring you Chef Collins Events.
