i did the drawings for the fire safety cert on that. And given how long it took to get paid by him & the current economic mess ireland is in it will never be built. The Hostel part has had some repairs done but no new building relating to the above application have been built.

this has nothing to do the the "Hoppers" building.... Robbie Archiebold and his brother own the hostel.... "Hoppers" is owned by Tom Lennon (same guy that owns leverette & fryes)

"Hoppers" will be a drive through chipper

What was with the 'Great Coffee' thing then?
Had a peek at the menu this morning and there was no coffee on it!
Was really hoping for a Dunkin' Doughnuts kind of place to pick up a fresh pastry and cuppa on the way to work.

I passed by it last night and it appeared to be open. I'd say it's coffee offerings will be similar to McDonalds. Not sure if the Drive-Thru is open yet.

Cheaper than say Supermacs or McDonalds.

Is the food Italian chipper style or Supermacs/McD's style?

patrickc

went there today have to say well impressed with the food and prices aint bad either.
€6.30 for a large 1/4 pounder meal,

€13 for a chicken meal with 2 wings, 2 thighs, 2 breasts and 2 large chips and drinks, the chicken was exceptionally good.

so any thoughts on hoppers so far, is the food worth the trip, cheap/expensive, do they have a good selection for kids also.????
