I'm all in favour of restaurants taking a card for a no show but irked me a bit that they took it up front especially as I was booking on behalf of someone else that was hosting the meal. I phoned back the next day to cancel and get a refund and booked Market Lane instead (€20 per head in the event of a no show). Suffice to say food and service in ML was terrific. Thinking back maybe it was petty to cancel but I equally couldn't expect the host to refund me after they'd paid the bill.

I know someone who fairly typically will book three places and see which one they feel like that night. Obnoxious behaviour, and it's them you should be leaning blame towards. Also doing this at the moment: hairdressers , beauticians, sports classes.

So, I perused the menu board and made my selection but was told that I could only choose from what was made up but unsold from lunch! Now, if they want to do that kind of model like the sandwich stall in the market, that's fine but then don't put up a menu board giving the impression that you have choice when you don't. Not likely that I'll be back.

They do have a take-it-or-leave-it attitude, and the food is fresh, get in early to get the full range. No waste with maintaining a buffer of sandwiches intended to go in the bin (which is a model I like!)

This is the third time this has happened - and they never tell you it’s regular sliced bread. Clearly they don’t do sourdough bread but it’s still on the menu. I don’t eat regular bread so just had coffee. Very annoying.

Denneys up near Silver Key is decent. Their chips are actually chip shaped and not 90% greasy flakes and sharp off cuts like Lennoxs.
