    I have heard that the Cookhouse is closed since New Years Eve, but some one else told me the Cook house is still open. Anyone know for definite?

    The last real Athlone style chipper, where everything means everything!

    Mate of mine used to ring in orders there regular enough a few years back, the woman answering the phone would
    put the fear of God into him...
    Mate: Can I get chips with everything
    Chipper Lady: Grand ... Do you want chilli sauce on them too
    Mate: No thanks
    Chipper Lady: THEN YA DONT WANT EVERYTHING ON THEM DO YA!
    :D

    Yeah I'm gutted that it closed. Really is the last Athlone style chipper. I dunno where I'm gonna go for the curry cheese chip now.

    I know the woman on the phone you're talking about too, she sounds like she has eaten a chainsaw. She's dead sound all the same.

    So its definitly closed. :(

    I loved the lamb base garlic cheese chips.

    That chipper beside apple green is a joke, it takes them about 20 minutes to make your food, and the staff are so ignorant in it.

    Nice food but service is a joke. Last time I was there I just asked for a bag of chips ... 25 mins later still waiting there. Ended up ringing Alfredos from there and heading straight over to get them.

    Total loss, likes my treats from there over the last 20 years, proper curry chips with cheese and a quarter pounder with everything.....not the healthiest but hadn't done it that often these past few years.
    Anne and the rest of them behind the counter were always dead sound

    I'm now told the number is (09064) 33511 :)

    Most of the old staff from the Cook House are there, and Joan is running the show...sauces, recipies, etc. so we're making sure there'll be no change :)

    Last night drew a great crowd, far more than we expected, so we'll be getting orders out faster and better as time goes on :)

    You can test it: pick up the phone and dial 33511. If that was the number, you'd get an engaged tone. But that isn't the number.

    Now try 6433511: engaged!

    Really disappointed, gutted actually. Just had the lamb base chips and while it all tastes the same they now use the silver chinese style trays to serve the food in. This now means smaller portions of chips due to the lid now needing to cover the food. Bring back the plastic tray with the tinfoil wrap PLEASE!!! I am now still hungry as there were only a handfull of chips in the tray with the lamb and all the toppings, I'd say it's now down to a half portion compared to the old moutainous portion you used to get. :mad:
