    ooh, what kind of festival?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,176 ✭✭✭angeldelight


    The Royal Canal Greenway Festival apparently! Maynooth news shared it on Facebook, not many details though

    The Harbour Field was transferred to the council for a consideration (minute fraction of its value if it was zoned commercial/residential) ages ago; but with covenants preventing non amenity use. KCC own it entirely.

    It had remained owned by the Nall-Cain's even after Carton itself was sold but was already effectively given over to the town. I believe that Carton Avenue may still be under that same old setup - theoretically owned by the Nall Cains but under KCC control and protected.

    Geraldine Hall is similar. KCC own it in trust for the people of Maynooth. Scouts have a 99 year lease from the council for it.

    Do the scouts own the neighbouring hall? Could the ICA not rent from them?

    Kind of to question 1 - it's leased from the council for 99 years.
    And no to question 2. The hall is already in constant use.

    Wonder is it in the Cicero unit, there was work started on that Sunday.

    Natural Bakery opened today I think.

    Between O'Briens, Costa, Natural bakery, bagel stop, Chill, Ice cream shop - Manor Mills is effectively turning into a food court.

    I assumed that might have gone dead due to the planning required. Odd that Natural Bakery didn't need any change of use then though

    The Gatehouse had closed:
    Hi folks, we have closed the restaurant and sold the remaining 10 years of our lease . We are concentrating on the catering side of our business and have sourced another kitchen in Maynooth for this purpose . Still the same email, Facebook and website ( to be updated).
    Thanks to all our loyal customers over the last 5 years. It’s been our pleasure to serve you, stay in touch. Regards, Alan O’Regan.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 75,488 ✭✭✭✭L1011


    Selling the lease suggests it'll be open as another restaurant soon


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 75,488 ✭✭✭✭L1011


    The scanned planning documents for the shop at the end of Main Street (opposite The Avenue) confirm it is Ely applying.

    Anybody know if Hugh Cash Antiques is still in Maynooth? Thanks.

    Is that not Maynooth Jewellers (&antiques)? They're definitely still open & owned by Hugh & Ger Cash afaik, I'm not aware of any separate antiques business.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 75,488 ✭✭✭✭L1011


    There were still some, but far less than before, antiques in the rear rooms of the jewelers last time I was there


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 75,488 ✭✭✭✭L1011


    Maximus sign down and inside stripped out? Maybe just a refit

    Skip outside the former Gatehouse so that'll probably be open soon

    And the builders are in for the Thai at Greenfield. With the Donovan's refit and some works at Mulcahys there's a lot of change in a short time there

    It's going to be a Yeah! Burgr. There is one in Navan. Decent place.

    Maynooth continuing to specialise in being where you open your *second* branch then. Red Torch, MaMs and Kin Khao already


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,435 ✭✭✭ixus


    Been hoping for Bunsen to open for a long time. It would clean me out.

    Never heard of Yeahburger. Hope it's high quality burgering.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 985 ✭✭✭Hercule


    Is Maximus gone? Pretty unceremonious exit!

    There's a good chance its just a refit - the kit-out is about 20 years old (it was much the same bar the TV screens for prices when I was in school).

    Heard from a reliable source it’s a totally new refit & menu.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,435 ✭✭✭ixus


    A new menu. What can they add now. Fried milk?!

    Well if how long it takes the site to load is an indicator I'm not going to be in a hurry for a burger

    Or a late one if the Maynooth ones keeps the same times as the Navan one. Can't see any "gourmet burger" restaurant taking much business from the Avenue or pubs like Brady's or O'Neills.

    HOURS
    M-Th 5p–10p
    F-Sa 12p–10p
    Su 12p–10p

    Would imagine the times are due to footfall. Maynooth would be different.

    None of the burgers in Maynooth come anywhere close to a Bunsen or the like. Not a hint of it.

    A quick turn around soot like that would do raging business imho.

    if there was a Bunsen in Maynooth, I wouldn't set foot in any of the restaurants or pubs for a burger.
