So I can't really give feedback. Re the quote above I am bewildered how anyone could accept 12 euro for a regular breakfast unless they are in the centre of London etc. My homemade bread costs about 10c a slice and is massive!

The portion was very substantial and I thought it good value for excellent quality. The food was on a par with the much lamented Beech tree although I prefer the coffee in Homans. I will be a regular customer.

Quality food can be produced for reasonable prices. I'd wager that if they dropped the price to under €10 and included toast and decent filter coffee, the place would do a roaring trade. That's my opinion....for what it's worth.

Just putting it into perspective. FWIW, while i haven't been into Weatherspoons in Blackrock yet, I have had breakfast in one in England and it was fine, not worth a trek to get it, but definitely value for money. Update on the sausage rolls - Wifey was there this morning for a coffee with some friends and noticed that the sausage rolls are bigger than the one I was served on Tuesday.

I still feel that the high rents generally will be to the detriment of the Charlesland Centre and the good establishments trying to make a few bob, creating the odd job. CL One could only last for so long as did Cafe De Fiore (and the infamous Tumbleweed - whatever happened to that place ). Pebbles Cafe over at Blacklion seem to have a healthy stream of visitors but I can't help but feel that because it is beside Lidl and several other facilities including two schools (now three), that's why I reckon it is surviving (their pricing is on the high side where quality wouldn't be alongside). Keener pricing will attract more customers in Homans, so keeping it at saturation point for longer over the day will be their win. Decent quality and a reasonable price point can work well provided the rent is not too onerous.

bobwilliams wrote: » yes me too,love a full Irish,3Q's is nice but a bit steep for some. Best I've had in the last while although it's a bit of a drive is the restaurant up at Djouce Golf club,not cheap btw but defo worth a trip and then up to the woods for a walk off.
