    It's on this weekend. I was up earlier today and it was great.


    Wine from the Wine Buff
    Beer and wine from Dicey's
    Bread from Le Fournil
    Oil and Balsamic from Jen's
    Sausages from McGettigan's
    Black Pudding from Kelly's of Newport
    Rashers from Carraig na Breac Smokehouse
    Free pancakes from Harvey's Point, as well as a song
    €1 snacks from the Mill Park Hotel

    So much more. Well worth a visit, though the pockets are a bit dented. For €2 in and a handy day out.

    Had a great wee feed there last year on the Sunday evening.

    Just a shame I was driving and couldn't wash it all down with some Indian beers.

    Indian guy is there this time again and there was a stall selling the spices and rubs. There was a Thai stall too but I didn't try it.

    Working over the weekend, unfortunately. Or I might have definitely made an attempt to get to it.

    I'd say it'd have been just as busy today also, had it not clashed with the Donegal game.

    I went into town yesterday afternoon, spent 15 mins looking for somewhere to park before deciding to head home again.

    I was there briefly on Friday as i was working. Even after 4pm when it opened first, there was a fair big crowd gathering by 6pm. There was a singing chef roaring whilst I was there, I think for Harvey's Pt. :)

    It's crazy the amount of preparations etc. that has to go into it, a savage amount of work behind the scenes. Looking at the electrics, that alone was one mean feat to service all the high powered appliances, etc.

    I'm probably lucky I didn't notice Dicey's stand :pac:

    it was great, so much food bought that we will have to do a marathon walk/swim the marra to be able to eat it all.
