    Thats crazy! Its about 9.95 for a starter in Gallaghers in Bunratty and you get approx 12 claws in it!

    I see from the Clare People that Charlie Stewerts have reduced their prices

    was in glor last week they have passed on the saving too...
    rowentree is one of my favourite places to eat. i love the room, the service, atmosphere- the food is mostly average, not terrible, not brilliant but fine.

    Mam found a catterpillar in her salad one time and refuses to go back. When I was there before that, I had a pizza that was really nice. I'd say it was a complete fluke that the catterpillar got in.

    The Rowan Tree have a nice dining room and location but I find the food distinctly average. I don't understand why it's gotten so popular.

    maybe cause the standard of restaurants in ennis in general is sh1te.
    Achieving mediocrity in ennis puts you ahead of the rest.

    I don't know why you have that opinion Nevermind, there's some great restaurants in Ennis, if anything we are spoilt for choice


  • Registered Users Posts: 288 ✭✭babygirlz


    Or beauty parlours, hair salons and any other Clare company affected by this.

    Ennis Movieplex haven't yet anyway.

    Value for money. Prices are very reasonable for what you get. I love the RT anyway.

    Tried it out recently, lovely setting, service great and food excellent and reasonably priced....I'll be back!:)

    Shocked that the Clare People and the Clare Champion haven't passed on the VAT reduction.

    The National daily newspapers are now €1.80 and €1.85. Low and behold, the Clare Newspapers pocket the VAT reduction.
