It was on last weekend so won't be on this week. Before christmas it was every fortnight so keep an eye out for next thursday!
there's usually a heads-up from the_groutch or a few others when they're happening

Thanks for the heads up! Had the meatballs before and they were nothing short of delicious :pac:

the groutch · 29-01-2009 1:22pm

The chicken arrabiata is also very good

Oracle · 29-01-2009 3:23pm

Yeah the meatballs are lovely, the sauce they're in is delicious. Just enough for 2 mind you, you get just 6 meatballs a piece! :eek:

They're delicious! Just don't plan on having an intimate evening afterwards

Got 3 lots this evening in Liffey Valley. Meatballs, Sea Bass and Chicken with pesto. Pity no whole chicken though like last time. Still a great deal. The Tesco one pales into comparison! Thanks for the heads up!

Rattlehead_ie · 29-01-2009 10:13pm

Picked up 2, the lasagne and the chicken pesto, 2 bottles of the Pinot Grigio as it is v nice. Thanks for the heads up guys

Just had the mint chocolate collection there for desert. Absolutely georgous. Its such great value

Zynks · 31-01-2009 2:08pm

This thread has to be one of the best diet crushing ones ever! I am not on a diet, nor was I hungry, but now (two minutes later) I am starving :pac:

It was like a war zone in there today. Clanking of baskets trying to get the stuff off the shelves.

the groutch · 01-02-2009 10:36pm

I heard a rumour that the next one won't be for a month

Placebo · 01-02-2009 10:49pm

i went today, didnt see anything, i never do ? is there a advertisment in the shop itself or do i find out the products online here?

dudara · 01-02-2009 10:51pm

Was in Jervis Street today a little after 12pm - some of the mains were gone - the lasagne in particular and lots of the desserts. Never even saw the mint chocolate!

gonker · 01-02-2009 11:12pm

Big signs everywhere the products are and a load of mad women and some men scrambling over the products:D

They generally have signs up on the doors, around the store and beside the display cabinets/refrigerators holding the offer items. Usually small black "Dine for two" stickers on the qualifying items too.

Placebo · 02-02-2009 1:57pm

is it just the jervis one ? i usually go grafton

gonker · 02-02-2009 2:10pm

Every marks

ronbyrne2005 · 02-02-2009 2:34pm

You cant beat a nice piece of stilton, (or most blue cheeses) a few grapes and a glass of good red wine or port.

Yeah I went in to Grafton shortly before 7pm on Sunday evening and it was all sold out. I got the impression that it was sold out a good bit before I arrived too as all the signage had been taken down and the shelves where the offer was were restocked with sandwiches and other things. Bummer:(

muckety · 03-02-2009 1:14pm

Might be something nice next week - for Valentines day! They still had loads of Cava in our local (mullingar) so whats the bet that it appears free with something for Valentines day?

bored_newbie · 25-02-2009 5:40pm

Where did you get that menu from groutch?

I couldn't find it on their website, I just found this page saying the offer isn't on this week.

Nnnnnnoooooooooooooooooo Someone say that's a mistake!! :eek::eek:

Bill-e · 25-02-2009 5:42pm

Is this stuff pre cooked? or in packets or wah? Is it a buffet style thing? Is it all in the same place in the shop or do you have to look around for components?

No its not pre-cooked or buffet style. Its just like buying three different things for a dinner. Like going out and buying steaks, then potatos, then icecream. Simple as that. Its delish when cooked properly and well worth it!!

And it usually is all in the one area of the store so you don't have to go searching for the different things.

madmoe · 25-02-2009 5:52pm

So is it defo on for sure tomorrow?

the groutch · 25-02-2009 6:06pm

110% definitely on

The gammon is VERY tasty. Says on the pack, serves 2-3, but really it only serves 2.

Beware of the determined looking women though - they have very sharp elbows:D - suggest you stand at a distance and then pounce once you've made your selection
