KCs isnât a patch on Jackieâs. The pink sauce was a culinary marvel, possibly medical too given its role in preventing and curing the worst effects of hangovers.
Why is it closing?
Split season

Announcing the closure, Frances and Brian Lennox said time had creeped up on them and they were ultimately âunable to cope with the burden of our successâ.
Hard to believe they are from cork

I flew into Cork Airport from Girona landing at around 10:10pm on Monday June 3rd, 2019. I missed the 10:30pm bus into Cork by a whisker and had to wait until the next bus which didnât have me into Cork city until around 11:45pm. There was a 1:10am bus to Dublin. I was in the throes of a cold I had picked up in Spain and it was raining. So I did the only sensible thing and walked in the rain from Cork city centre to Jackie Lennoxâs on the Bandon Road to âget it off my bucket listâ. This is one of only three chippers in Ireland I have visited for chipper tourism. I sat there with me feed in the small eating area listening to Cork people with thick Cork accents who all seemed to know each other and were having tremenjus craic. Everybody seemed to know each other and was in great form. I then walked back into Cork city in the rain and got on an aircoach to Dublin, falling asleep in a hape of nose discharge.
I like Cork people and it perplexes me why this establishment I walked a mile and a half in the rain to get grub in is closing.

Done it many times over the years. Was in all those pubs along Bandon road many times in my younger years albeit I would not have been a regular by any means. Youâd meet some interesting characters. Pure salt of the earth types. Good few professional drinkers too. Never got into any trouble thank God and places like Tom Lynchs, The Gallows, Bradleys, Southside youâd definitely stand out. You were always welcome even if it did resemble a scene from a wild west movie. I dont know how many of those pubs reoppened after Covid. Fairly poor part of Cork and very working class people and custodians whoâd put up with the infiltration of spoilt college students is probably how Iâd best describe it. As Youâd wander down towards end of Barrack St to places like Barrys, Fordes and Flying enterprise the edginess defintely wasnt half as palpable. Still, Great times.
Will take the 2 kids up to Jackies later for old times sake. It can be 2024s Sir Henrys.

We said the same in our house. Have had Lennoxâs quite a few times, great chips and battered sausages. Burgers are the finest, chicken excellent. But havenât been there for around 3 years Iâd say.

The best chipper in Cork in my lifetime was Mattie Kielys on Maylor street, closed a long time now, chips were absolute perfection, the battered cod was to die for.
In truth Lennoxâs was no better than Dinoâs or various local chippers around, but they were very consistent.
I love Limerick but there isnât a good chipper in the town, lots of grand chippers but thatâs as far as Iâd go.
KCs canât be compared to the Lennoxâs etc of the world, a different type of place altogether
