    We were regulars with the kids but stopped going as the quality was poor. The sausages are the worst in Maynooth in my opinion.

    Is Click in Manor Mills closed down? It's been shut the last few times I walked past and the last time I saw it open there was no stock in it.

    I saw a post on Facebook saying there was an issue with staff not getting paid

    I worked there years ago (When it was in the Holland and Barrett unit and was called cantec). The owners were a bit dodgy. I googled it and apparently they went bankrupt a few years ago.

    Unsure about Maynooth, but Da Mario in Celbridge is good for a GF menu

    I found Picaderos very accommodating. They used a separate fryer for a start and were very knowledgeable re gf options. I don’t recall a separate GF menu though.

    Yeah I went today. Thought it was bigger than liffey valley and carried a wider range (pardon the pun). It was very very busy but it's so big that you could walk the aisles with ease. It was really well stocked also with no stock out of place or messy as you might expect when it's so busy. Queued for only 2-3mins. Very impressive smooth opening.

    I was in it yesterday. Lots of stuff at cheap prices. Just to give an example, a tub of protein powder in there is 37.50. I paid 55 euro for the exact same tub in Holland & Barret.

    I found the aisles awkwardly narrow and short, and the layout of the hardware/DIY products is a little strange.

    Much bigger pet section than I remember the LV store having, didn't compare prices but they seemed to have a broader selection of stuff than the dedicated pet store across the carpark.

    The town definitely cannot cope with the extra traffic - they need to start suggesting people use the junction before on the M4.

    I popped in there yesterday. There is a lot to see. Lot of things I liked.

    I thought the few grocery and toiletries looked out of place. Seemed to me like odd items to stock, especially considering the huge Tesco next door.

    Well worth a visit though.

    Popped in yesterday. The housewares are excellent. As an expat British person you can get quite a bit of British food there you can't find in the supermarkets.. even Tescos which seems to stock it sort of sporadically.

    Is Costa still going to MM?? A lot of coffee competition in there now. Natural Bakery has some nice stuff in it if you're in early!

    Mach 3 razors £5 or €7.50 £5 is less than €6 and frankly this kip should be selling at 1 for 1 to get some money that isn't just toilet paper in.

    If your husband is in Brady's or the Newtown Inn during the day you will love Range.

    Meant to reply to this. We ended up.going to chill the day I asked this. It was very quiet so service was super quick. Food was much better than I remembered. It's still chips, chicken, curry etc so nothing fancy but was nice and plenty of food for the money. Would not be making a regular thing but it was grand in a hurry

    I got a leaflet in the door recently from Chill saying that they have a family offer of mains for 2 adults + 2 kids + drinks for €25. Seems like good value so I must try it again.

    At lunch time they have maybe 5 servers in and all of them are just running around like headless chickens. There was a line forming at the door last time I was there to be seated and there was a waiter just folding napkins looking at them... They also didn't give us our drinks at all during lunch (asked them 4 times) and didn't knock a few quid off lunch to apologise. Really bad service and the food is only ok.

    Chill started out well and has gone swiftly downhill. I now find it be managed very poorly with no organization among the serving staff. Food is little more than OK at this point. It's a shame really as there was/is a gap in the market for a great place to bring kids that serves good, reasonably priced food.

    Always find chill a bit grubby or something too. Like someone needs to take a good sponge to the tables and floors. Food is normally ok. I'd go with the young lad cause it's easy and kid friendly but wouldn't go there with herself.

    Planning put in to turn the unit at the end of the Main Street opposite the girls school in to ANOTHER cafe and wine bar.

    Description makes it sound like Avoca but the unit isn't big enough surely. Docs not scanned yet. Some digging finds a director of the company that applied is or was a director of Ely Winebars in Dublin.
