What's the catch? Or just one of these opening offers?

Does it include sausages, battered sausages, drinks etc which they also sell?

No catch, just the grand opening. Yeah includes sausages, battered sausages, drinks, fish, pies and chips.

I think its from 12pm onwards. Finally a decent chip shop in Dundrum, the portions are feckin huge, you could feed 2-3 people with one portion of chips.

Hope they do delivery.

chillywilly

savage, where did you hear about it?

akadesign

It's on a poster on their window, also asked one of the guys who was in there at the time.

quarryman

I'm starving right now and just round the corner. Is it just the proper opening tomorrow or are they open now? (You had said you were in the shop).

dajaffa

Whereabouts is it in relation to the shopping centre?

chillywilly

on dundrum main street, beside the post office. if you walk past the taxi rank outside the dundrum cinema walk straight down the road and through the cross road and its on your left.

Based on other posts, it seems to be down in the village opposite Dundrum House

Wasn't open, there were staff in there, was just chatting to them.

They're better than most, but charge it accordingly.
I've been given undercooked fish (plaice) twice in Abbey St, so I'm not overly complementary of them.

None of the other Leo Burdocks in Fishamble street, Rathmines or Liffey St do deliveries so I wouldn't build up your hopes.

chillywilly

it says they deliver northside and southside on their website?

ShoulderChip

hmm would it be worth chancing after work at about half 5?

Yeah but you can't fault the portions, you pay the same everywhere else and get half the amount.

Beshoff's charge the same price and you normally just get a scoop full of chips, the fish fills the rest of the box :rolleyes:

I don't see anyone else giving away free food, fair play to the lads especially in these recessionary times

the groutch

probably a relatively small amount of freebies, and very small portions, not worth making a journey especially imo

akadesign

Nope, full portions.

@CreepingDeath
Some of them do deliverys according to this (PDF 1.9MB).

Rathmines DO actually deliver. Just not during the summer months. :mad:

allanb49

Gonna pop down after work. broke and sick so free food is a welcome plus

afatbollix

any one been to take them up on there offer? is it worth heading down?

Gillington

Yeah would be definitely interested in heading down if anyone could give us info on portion size,queue size etc. anyone whos been down get posting!

dajaffa

Was down just after 12pm. Q'd for just over 5 mins, you just order what you want, drink n all, you get full portions (I got cod, chips + coke). Theres a few boxes on the desk as they're taking donations for the Vincent de Paul (there's no minimum donation, totally up to yourself). I saw getting deliveries of minerals so as not to run out so if you're anywhere near the area then its definitly worth heading down.

the groutch

nice that they are collecting donations for a worthwhile charity, and one days takings would probably be a drop in the ocean anyway

garyo

Thanks for the heads up, defiantly head down, queue wasn't to bad, about 5 mins but everything ready to go so no waiting.

Their giving away full portions, and there's plently.

As above their fundraising for St. Vincent de Paul, fair play to them, free grub and promoting a worth while cause in the process. There's some boxes on the counter, so give as little or as much as you want.

afatbollix

yup went down at id say a busy time.. 15 minutes waiting.. deffo worth it..

quarryman

anyone know if this will be running until the end of the day? i was gonna pick up my dinner there after work.

Yeah apparently its the entire day, until they run out of stock of coarse. I'd say from the looks of things you'll be okay if you go before 8.

I'm guessing he just meant that you clearly still get your full portions even if you don't donate money, as the other poster was suggesting you didn't.

dajaffa

In fairness most people were throwing in 5 or 10 euro, a few younger (as in primary school age) weren't but they should raise a serious amount of cash for a very worthy cause. Great idea for a store launch it must be said.

The Orb

I live nearby, the queue is 15 yards out the door. Gutted they put this so close to my place.....too much of a temptation to have that fresh cod so close everyday

shaywest

no spice burgers
they have batterburgers though

There was about 30 people in front of me at 5:20, took about 15 mins to get food. Really nice actually. Queues move fast, no drinks left and strictly 1 portion per person now. I got Smoked Cod & Chips!

LovetohateTV

They will be open until 10pm tonight.

Loads of annying kids in Q.

Q'ed for about 15 mins max.

Lovely chips and nice staff working there.
