Interesting....

source?

Actually heard it was to be a bar/restaurant myself and that planning permission wasn't needed as that's what was there before

Who knows !

Saw Gecko Catering Equipment Van in the Foxhunter Carpark today, this would suggest restaurant/ cafe on the site as suggested in previous post.
Gecko supply catering equipment to commercial premises, so it looks promising for the area, finally....yippee!

It is pressup


" brand new digs now in The Slipper Bar, Glasnevin and Cherry Tree Pub, Walkinstown… stay tuned as Wowburger get set to open even more burger hotspots in The Foxhunter, Lucan

Ah FFS, the last thing we need in Lucan is another effin' fast food place.
I'd heard it was Press Up but was hoping it would be Union Cafe or something like Dollard and Co or Elephant and Castle.

Instead ... a fancy chipper.
To go with all the others that are in Lucan

Gotta say I'm disappointed with that. Looks like I'll have to keep heading out to Maynooth or the city centre for a decent meal.

It probably will be a Union Cafe (or Elephant & Castle) - its FAR too big to be a standalone Wowburger.

They now run Wowburger delivery out of basically every kitchen they can get their hands on including all the Union Cafe/E&C kitchens

Funny you should say that I saw Wowburger and Elephent and castle show up on Just eat in lucan this evening and didn't know what to make of it.

Hopefully that's the case.
Anyway, tonnes of work to be done on the place. I reckon it won't be ready until Hallowen at the very earliest

Apparently there is a porta cabin there cooking the food

Brings a whole new meaning to the wow in wow burger. Provided they are nice I suppose it will build up a bit of demand for the place.

I imagine they will turn it into a kind of truck-stop. It could do well provided it's not crazy expensive.

Once trucks dont block the slip road

The carpark should be big enough to hold a good few.

Not so handy for trucks heading city bound.

With no planning permission presumably

Why would they need one? Foxhunter was allowed to serve food before.

A portakabin would need it regardless

Wonder how many building sites has that .

Basically all of them would have permission for the site compound during construction

There is no permission for anything here as they are just refurbishing an existing pub.

The widespread idea that something being temporary means it doesn't need planning is entirely wrong. But I suspect SDCC would either not do anything or would take an eternity to do anything; by which time it'd be gone.

To be fair to them who is it harming? It's not as if the place is overlooked.

Seems to be going full pelt down there. I seen the wowburger van. It's that what it is? A burger place? Or is there a bar as well?
