    The Great Wood? Really? Spoonies are supposed to be into their local connections for names. Who in Blanch has a massive wood right now?

    ;)

    The Great Scaldwood is its proper title. Part of the forest would have been in the area of where the blanchardstown centre now resides. Old Irish forest that was maintained by the local lords till Cromwell came. One of the last wolf's in Ireland was killed there. :)

    The name was also chosen by public pole in the Northside people I believe

    Great to see some more jobs being created in the local economy, but I have heard mixed opinions on how they treat staff.

    Let's do one better, and go there opening day/evening and see for ourselves?

    A "D15 Boards Blancy Blanchy Spoons Brigade"......of sorts :)

    While I like beer gardens, I don't think the Blanchy Spoons garden will be that great, unless one likes to watch cars passing by.

    Lads, I have a few tickets for the soft opening of The Great Wood this Saturday. Complimentary meal and a drink, times are between 4pm and 5.45pm. It's a good opportunity to see the place, and gives the staff a chance to iron out any wrinkles. If people want tickets drops me a PM, I'll give preference to people who have posted in this thread ;-)

    Any free wifi?

    If not I can see no reason I'd have a coffee there during the day.

    As for drinking there at night - no atmosphere, no amdublin

    There's my post :)

    Typical, one of the few Saturdays we have a babysitter and have stuff organised.

    Hope it goes great for you. When's the 'official' opening?

    Edit. Nevermind anyway, this seems to be the one Wetherspoons thread I didn't post in!

    Again typical, my wife is away on business and won't be back until late. As much as I love Friday evening beer and food, not with 2 kids.

    Thanks a lot though.

    Lads, i must say to you, these preview sessions when held in Dun Laoghaire Spoons before Christmas, were an unmitigated disaster.

    I know they are run precisely to drill the staff, but i would go along neither hungry nor with anything pressing in your life for about 5 hours after. And all the cheapest and most popular beer choices will run out in about an hour. Stock management is still a mess in Dun Laoghaire 6 months on

    If I was going I wouldn't expect things to be running smoothly, or for them to have everything I want. In a previous life I was involved in the opening of new food premises and both staff, and to be fair customers, didn't expect a smooth running ship at first.
