    I've heard off a few people these are the best breakfast rolls around.

    Decided I'd stop off on my way home from work this morning to try one but to no avail couldn't find it or it wasn't there.


    Can anyone tell me where exactly it does be and from what times? Thanks.

    Heading from Rathcoole, turn off at castlewarden. Take the first right, to bring you towards kill, and it should be a short spin down there, not beyond the petrol station on the main road, if ya get me. Haven't had a sambo there in years, back when the n7 was 2 lanes.

    I hope so. I tried in around the topaz at kill exit 7 off the n7 this morning to no avail.

    I'll try again in the morning.

    Cheers.

    Junction before that, outbound, there's a road that runs parallel to the n7 and joins after topaz. They're usually there

    Not there again feck it.

    I'm probably going to early in the morning.

    Thanks though at least I know we're to look now.

    He does be there usually between 07:30 - 08:00 on some mornings

    Take the castlewarden turn. No ideas about numbers, it didn't have a number before the bridge was there. It was just the kilteel road

  • Registered Users Posts: 228 ✭✭mickotoole


    Tried to find him again this morning. Below is the route I took ... is he based along this route or have I been looking in the wrong place this whole time?

    That looks right, but I think its your timing that's wrong. I don't think he's there that early. Mind you, haven't seen him since Christmas, so not sure hes still there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 370 ✭✭genuine leather


    I took a chance this morning,i have tried before, you ll be glad to know
    mickotoole... he is just back yesterday, has not been around since christmas, problems with his back.
    It was worth the wait, really nice breakfast roll with a lovely piping cuppa.
    Philip is his name,really nice guy. you can get his number if you like and call ahead,grab and go as he calls it. 9-3 o clock are his times.

    Can you stick up a Google map of exact location pls


  • Registered Users Posts: 370 ✭✭genuine leather


    Exit 6 for castlewarden badker, cross over the carriageway, if your coming from the south,head torwards kill. On google maps,N7 blackchurch, you will see his wagon at the bottom of the screen.

    In mickotooles map his spot is just down from the second roundabout


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,947 ✭✭✭✭anewme


    oh must go and get another one. The day I went I was a bit hung over so I told him to make me something nice on the way in (late to work) so he made me bacon, sausage, pudding, egg on a delicious soda farl. It was so filling I could not eat for the rest of the day.

    Agree he is a lovely guy, up for the chat.

    I have never seen him or eaten there but from descriptions of his location given to me by friends, I think this is him, perhaps someone will confirm.

    That looks like him allright.

    Theres really no science to finding it. Its the old road between Kill and Castlewarden, junction 6 and 7, so you cant miss it (if he's there)

    If you come in from Kill and head towards castlewarden, you pass the back of the Topaz. Keep going till you get to the roundabout to come out back onto the N7 at Castlewarden. If you dont pass him on the way, he's not there.

    Oh would love a brekkie roll now.

    He is visible from the main road, N7 if you look.

    +1 to this - he definately does exist. I think someone should show him this thread! :D
