    This has probably been done before but Tell everyone where you think is good to eat on campus and where you think is complete sh1t

    I think the Paddocks is good and I love their breakfast specials!!
    I dont like the stables I had a curry there last week and it was total crap

    Do they still do the diced potato / chips in the Paddocks? Used to love 'em.

    What about the Castletroy Spar roll and a bottle of sunny delight. Them were the days. :rolleyes:

    Scholars is easily the best, in every way. The food and the water is fantastic.

    I concur with kai! Paddock all the way.

    There was this classy blonde girl who worked there, pigtails... foreigner... , anyway she used to give me extra lasagne. Aahh the memories...

    Anyway, I hope she's still there when I get back!

    Scholars breakfast is to die for, or usually to miss 9am lectures for. I was cursed with a 9am lecture in the PE building this semester - its damn hard to walk past the Scholars to get to it, even if I know I can go there within an hour!

    Hot chicken rolls from the SU shop are great, the ones from Spar don't hold a candle to them.

    The cafeteria does good sandwiches and paninis.

    Cafe Allegro in the Foundation Building does the best coffee/cappuccino and has those caramel squares that I really shouldn't eat but they're so damn good.

    The paddocks is good for breakfast, but any time ive had lunch there, i thought it was rubbish. Ive had curries (including a mysterious 'meat curry'), pastas and everything, and i cant see the appeal. The pizza slices are nice, but they barely ever have any ready, so scholars all the way for me.

    The SU ckicken rolls are better than spar, IMO. Its happened a few times at different intervals throughout the day that ive gotten chicken that tasted like it was there for an hour and not-so-fresh rolls have been gotten too.

    i know this isnt on campus but if you ever fancy a pizza get an apache. For €16.50 you get a celtic meal deal which is a large pizza four toppings garlic bread wedges and 3 cans of coke. Compare that to dominos where a large pizza is €18 !!!!! Its great if there is a group of people ...and realy cheap and if you've a big group get a munster meal deal its double whats above for €32

    F*ck i sound like an apache ad now dont I!!!!!!
