That's at least the second mention of stuff along those lines on here.

They must be doing ok to be rocking away at the €9 price point which is a 20% increase on the initial price........ and that's in a time when footfall in the city is reduced.

Finally went to masseytown,

Also for a newly opened business it looks like a bomb hit it inside,

Yah I won’t be back at all unless I was very hungry and no where else is open

However is everyone looking forward to outdoor dining next week ?

When I was walking past one day I had a look in the window, and from what I saw, well, lets say - their standards of food hygiene leave a lot to be desired!!! (and I am being polite by not describing what I saw :eek:) but it was enough to put me off EVER eating from there.. (the prices was my only issue till then).. shame - as the smell of cooked meats coming from the place is hmm.. but no.. no thank you!

........... I don't imagine they will survive in the long term with those prices.

Yeah, not many if any of the Cork Insta fam (I almost cringe writing that) are prone to posting any #masseytown sandwich stuff either ........ that's almost a plus though IMO.

Folk complain about multinationals coining it but I don't see how local "public figures" selling overpriced made in China tat are any better....... lol, way off topic.

That, for me, is always a red flag. There is zero excuse for not having your premises tidy and clean and looking well.

Between that and everything else that's been mentioned, it just sounds like this guy has no business sense!

Sadly the people in front of me got the little herb in the middle
Of the string they use to wrap the roll ….

Yah 9.50 is nuts money for a cold very avg pulled beef roll, another person also got the same and we where both eating at a pillar in the city and both of us went meh it’s very over priced for what it is 5 euros I would fell fair enough but 9.50 and no smile with your service,

I also finally got around to trying Masseytown. I really like Pana Bread so was happy to see them supplying their bread, however I don't think I'll be back in a hurry. For 9.50 I would expect maybe a portion of potato wedges on the side at the least. I don't imagine they will survive in the long term with those prices.

Dunleas in Blackpool do lovely coffees and baking.

They most certainly do. Staff are lovely too. They have a place on Center Park Road as well, though I haven't called in there yet.

Any restaurants in town doing a lamb rack? You know like those posh mint crust lamb racks you see on master chef.

The missus wants one when restaurants open up again for dining.

Only one I've found so far is Hayfield Manor's Orchid Restaurant. And that's not certain, I just saw it on one of their marketing pics and on a sample menu. Could have anything on the night we're there.

I am pretty sure Greenes McCurtain St had it on their menu when I was there pre covid.. might be worth checking out their website

Finally got around to trying the Bunny Chow from the Gazebo in St. Luke's Cross. It was seriously tasty. Slow cooked lamb curry served in a half loaf of bread. Your man running it is sound out as well. So, will definitely be back for more.

I think Dunmore House are adding or have added an organic garden to supply the restaurant.

We'll be around the Clonakilty area but we'll drive around a bit. We usually go to the Whale's Tail, An Sugan, Fish Kitchen in Bantry, Fish Basket.

There's a cafe in Clon called Wilde & Co. Haven't been there yet myself but it's supposed to be lovely.
The Mountain House in Ardfield.
Monk's Lane in Timoleague.

awe ok - the only places I would add (that I know of and would recommend) are Pilgrims in Ross, the restaurant in Dunmore Hotel near Clon and Poachers in Bandon..

Debub

There is an Italian guy (Marco) who puts up a stall in the Saturday market in Bandon, really good food in case around that area. Also Heavens cake in Bandon. Wharton’s in a Bantry for fish n chips (very nice chips). Shiny silver food van of Dave for Jerk chicken (African) and the black Pizza van and the Red Strand coffee from Shane in the Friday Bantry market.
