Agree with eatstreet, lovely burger but the sweet potato fries may aswell have been raw with the lack of cooking

@sporina - Someone called to complain about an order while I was waiting and they didn't seem to be too bothered. I have zero interest in going back for more, even if the food was cooked properly it would have been middle of the road at best.

Has anyone got a takeaway from the Brook inn?

Follow up to the O'Reillys food truck experience. Just got a call there from the owner who was asked to call me by the lad who was working the till last night. He was aware of the messed up order and the delay and I informed him about the order also being incorrect and undercooked. He apologised and offered a gift voucher for pickup at the till in the shop. Very decent of him to follow up....looks like I will be giving them a second chance after all ðŸ˜‚ watch this space for the gift voucher review!

Had the Da Mirco Mothers Day Feast this weekend. It was excellent.

A selection of cold canapés to start. Very tasty and no preparing in it - the highlight being Beef Bresaola stuffed with lemon and ricotta, That was savage. The rest was lovely as well.

Main course was a seafood lasagna that was incredible. Very large portion (some would say too large, I wouldn't). The amount of seafood was obscene. Mussels, clams and white fish pouring out of every orifice of the lasagna. A simple béchamel sauce that left the seas food shine. It was lovely.

A white chocolate and limo cello "Tiramisu" for dessert which was delicious also. Love the idea of tiramisu but don't like coffee in deserts so this was perfect.

€50 for two. Would highly recommend. Great value for what you get. Definitely the easiest click and collect meal to prepare as well.

€9.50 on deliveroo which is standard practice of jacking up prices on it from what I've seen.

What was involved in the click and collect here? Reheat in oven, or would microwave work?

Only dish that needed heating was the main, which was 20 mins in the oven. I'm sure you could microwave it but would need transferring out of the foil container.

There was also a garnish of seafood (prawns, clams and mussels in a butter sauce ) to pour over lasagna that needed 3 mins in a small pan.

Everything else was ready to eat.

never actually used Deliveroo (I like to pick up the food myself so its not rocking around the city for lord knows how long) but thats the story with the pricing? Do they add on to the prices on their website and then charge for delivery too?

sammyjo90

Yep. Not sure if the delivery price is the same no matter the distance but for me it costs 4.50.

That's up to the restaurant if they want to increase prices to maintain margin,as deliveroo take about 30%. Ya delivery charge on top of that. I never use it as I'm in the city centre and it's cheaper to call them direct to order.

Got a takeaway from sober lane the other night.

Hot Nuts burger - verdict, not particularly spicy despite the name, but very tasty! A good burger.
Goujons - We found them far too salty for us. Only 1 person in the family could stomach them with the coating on them. The rest of us binned that outer coating and ate the chicken itself. Probably the worst bit of the order. (Don't hate me salt-lovers)
Chips - they were ok. Standard catering frozen chips tossed in a salt/spice mix to pimp them up a bit.
Brownie milkshake - really good, would recommend this.

Got Velo Burger delivered - great burger and very nice chips!

I've assumed those posters have some connection to Ernest. Only explanation!

Swoon on Oliver Plunkett Street are crazy popular, I've never seen them without a queue outside, even at 8pm tonight they had a queue out around the corner. I've been there once for an Eton Mess and it was good but I wouldn't have expected them to take off the way they have. Fair play to them.

Went to liberty grill this morning for brunch, click and collect obviously. God it was divine.
It was my first time eating out and in the city since before Christmas and I swear to god I feel like I’ve been on a city break this morning.

what the hell!

Travelled well! They come in compostable round containers and they deffo contained the heat!I got the quinoa and sweet potato fritters! I’d say we ate them half an hour after collecting. Went to Fitzgerald’s park to eat!

Also got some cakes in Cameron. Savage!

Did me the world of good! It was just lovely chatting to the staff in both places too!

Follow up on the O'Reillys food truck from a few pages ago. Called out today to.get more food and collect the voucher. Ended up with a full refund for the last order and the voucher value was very generous. The food was literally night and day in comparison with the last order. Really good burger, chips and fish, savage portions and definitely worth the second chance. Excellent customer service too.

That’s brilliant to hear. Must try them out soon. I often go there when out walking to pick up milk or sometimes to get petrol but I’ve usually already had lunch...really want to try the halloumi burger!

Actually on that note I had lunch from the bbq setup they have in the back of the Kingsley a couple of weeks ago. Got a scampi burger and was really nice. My partner got pulled pork and he loved it. They do nice crepes there too.

Any suggestions for a healthy takeaway lunch on a Thursday...? Something along the Paradiso lines....
