    I really feel for businesses that try to do the right thing and still do business but are let down by their stupid, stupid customers.

    Burritos and blues tried and failed to do takeaway only.

    As did Murphy's chipper.

    But unfortunately people are too feckin stupid to queue and maintain social distancing.
    Tough on businesses.
    why don't they deliver?

    That's where third party delivery firms like Deliveroo, Uber Eats and JUSTeat come in. Albeit costly to the business.

    Dunno - will take away somewhat from what is "KC's in Douglas" if you know what I mean. Also, are they non-profit (or on those lines) ? I thought they were a non-profit crowd of some description. Religion is in my head for some reason.....

    That family are millionaires. Plenty of profit from it through the years

    Got takeaway delivery from O'Reilly's Fish & Chips in Glanmire, burger and fish highly recommended.

    Just got a Chinese takeout an hour ago. They rang when it was ready and I came in from waiting in car to collect. Been doing it every Friday evening. Very well organised. Screens up to protect staff and they are wearing cloves and masks. It is the one weekly piece or normality we have at the moment so we are keeping it up.
    I can see why KCs wouldn't work though. Simply too popular and age demographic of customers doesn't lend itself too much to common sense.

    Tried their barrack street outlet twice now. Desperate fish and chips for a place with the word "fish" in their name. Just a massive ball of grease.

    I know yeah, it would make you sick

    Anyway, ordered West Cork Burger, the burger was a mess and the chips were overcooked and were all small ones like you'd get at the end of the bag. Won't be ordering off them anytime soon

    Ah, I got a takeaway from them last week that was absolutely savage, chips were unreal. It was my first time trying them, I'd normally go to Sober Lane or Son of a Bun if I fancied a good burger

    Its my 4th time, first time was time was unreal but has gotten worse every time since. Its very expensive for what you get.

    We got Koto this evening and it was gorgeous. Rang up and placed the order, and then just had to turn up at a specific time to pick it up. No problems social distancing - they have set up the lobby almost like a hatch where you pay and pick up your food. Contactless payments only.

    It's seriously overpriced for what you get in return. Wouldn't bother again.

    KCs re-opened but had to close shortly after due to breach of social distancing. They need to set up a delivery service

    Roosters still open I think and O'Sullivan'spub have a take away menu

    Golden Fry still open but you need to queue on the street before you order so you could be queuing a while

    Most of the others are on Just Eat etc
