    Epic thread with some great suggestions...

    If you are in Newcastle and Ward's is closed, G&L are nearby too and are good.

    Also the Big Breakfast crepe in Mr Waffle is savage. Kills your hangover stone dead.

    Not the best roll in town but best value is probably hot chicken roll in Londis (opposite UCHG) for €1.99

    They're absolutely disgusting though, which sort of negates the money saving part

    Morton's in Salthill.
    Roast beef, semi sun dried tomatoes, brie, some roast veg, lettuce and onion.
    Hummus.
    Ciabatta.

    Five bones. Man alive, I wish I had one now. Best place in town.

    Yeah last time i had a hot chicken salad i was very sick.:rolleyes:

    Dont understand your gripe. Theres no issue with using a knife to cut hot and cold food, if they used it on cooked and uncooked food then yes thats an issue but not what you've described.

    And getting sick is a fair gripe. But in fairness, read your first quote. That makes me picture cutting uncooked chicken and then buttering your roll with the same knife. Thought you were pretty crazy alright to have eaten anything from there having seen that. Hope you're feeling better.

    Fair enough you were ill but what you describe doesn't sound like something anyone could become ill from.

    ive never been there. will definitely try it

    the centra's in salthill and the bottom of eyre sq do pretty decent breakfast rolls. the bacon is pretty crispy and they use good quality sausages most of the time. for a supermarket deli i think they are very well run.

    im amazed what some places offer up. i go down to joyces in knockncarra quite a bit. the deli is well set up, and everything looks fresh. but if you ask for a breakfast roll the bacon is just full of fat. the same can be said for supervalu in bearna. how anyone would buy a breakfast roll there is beyond me! ive cooked breakfast myself for 50+ people plenty of times so i know that if you put in a little bit more effort you can get it right.

    another thing that surprises me with some of these delis is how they will leave bacon and sausages out for hours, leaving them on display while they look all dry and shrivelled up. at this stage you wouldn't give it to your dog (slight exaggeration:)) but here they are still trying ot flog them!! when the food gets to a stage where it doesn't look appetizing just get rid of it!

    Friendliest shop staff in Galway as well IMO. It's like the old style local before the branded/franchises came in. Pity it's so small.

    was passing yesterday and decided to grab a roll. Very impressed! lovely crusty bread and fresh ingredients. The lady mentioned they get all their meat fresh from collerans butchers up the road.

    shes really friendly hada good chat. mentioned she makes up all her own sauces and likes to experiment with the menu.

    Got a packed chicken fillet roll in lovely crusty bread for 4 euro very reasonable.

    Think ill be back on sat for round 2!

    :D

    You've basically posted a totally false allegation about a specific Centra there, might want to remove that.
