[quote=“The Puke”]yeah it is a good eating house,a la carte all the way…although at times it can be average…does some trade…
I hear traceys outside portlaois is gone to the dogs…[/quote]
One thing I’d say about Traceys and that is that it was never worth the wait.
You mean Treacys, food used to be fantastic (truckers are rarely wrong), gone to the dogs lately, no question.
Best place for the Carvery in Portlaoise is now Egans.
Waste of time stopping there coming hope from a matchday in dublin, but i often ate there of a friday evening or a saturday afternoon and ha some fine meals out of it…

I’ll look forward to it Boo Boo
Thanks;)
That’s very disappointing. That was a savage carvery. The amount of times I talked myself out of a lunchtime sandwich and drop into the cove instead trying to make sure I wasn’t spotted by the beast at reception

someone said to me that the owner bought some place in portlaois itself and that is the spot to go to now…
I suppose the new dual carriage way has had an effect on business for them

the beast is still working on reception down there too. how she hasnt been got rid of yet I’ll never know.

He also owns the Gandon Inn just up the road from Treacys. Have only ever had the magnificent fry up there, have never done Carvery, but all word points to it being the business. Truckers frequent there more so now.
Treacys does however have one of the creamiest sweetest pints of Guinness you will find on the roads of Ireland (Cork may or may not be included in this).

You didn’t think they’d be arsed pulling a daycent Guinness In Cork did ya?
Fair point.
[quote=“HBV*”]the day we were in a good few people around us were not that happy with it, i remember it as something you would get in mother hubbards to be honest.
howards way gets alot of good things said about it, must get in there sometime[/quote]
There was one old dude giving out yards one time I was in there (I was only a spectator though, as I was sitting at the bar), but he came across a total cock so I decided I was on the staff’s side.
Jesus, Guinness in Cork, what next. I have heard that outside Ireland, Guinness is most popular in some African country, but I suppose it makes sense that they’d be bigger fans in Cork.
Is it Nigeria by any chance? They have a brewery over there.
is there a howards way in churchtown as well?

serious trade in finnegans but its only alright food really.
last time I was there now it was fine but the table next to us returned 3 out of 4 main courses.
The portobello does a good carvery, huge amount of food and tastes pretty good.
In Cork both Reardons and Flannerys on Glasheen Rd do a super carvery (think its called flannerys my head is going!)
