FESTIVAL FEVER
With Pancake Tuesday, Paddy’s Day and Mothers Day all approaching fast, here is your chance to plan ahead.
Mairead O’Brien of Nash 19 has been in touch to say their top class Food Shop will this year be selling home made batter.
“We will be selling fresh batter. No 1 is Spelt and Buttermilk batter (wheat free) €3.85 while number 2 is a Gluten Free batter €3.85. We’ll also have pancakes in the fridge as well as having Pancakes on the restaurant menu.”
I enjoyed my real Easter Eggs from Nicole Dunophy of Pandora Bell. This year the Limerick company has gone one better.
Nicole: “Pandora Bell’s delicious Real Eggshell with Praline Chocolate has accessorized itself this year with a ‘Belle’ handbag to enhance even the most daring Easter Bonnet. This limited edition bag comes with three real chickens eggshells filled with the smoothest praline chocolate and is available exclusively at www.pandorabell.ie and during Easter week at Arnotts.”
Lovers of Pandora Bell’s Real Eggshell will find it on shelves in Fine Food Stores Nationwide again this year. The eggs are sold separately with minimum of fuss and packaging just a beautiful elegant band for E2.75 – 2.95. Stockists include Fallon and Byrne, Donnybrook Fair Dublin, Cornstore at Home Limerick and Karibas in Ballinasloe. All that is left for the chocolate lover to do is crack the shell, peel and enjoy.
O’Brien’s Chop House in Lismore has plenty of food and entertainment lined up for you.
St. Patrick's Eve Feast, Trad-Music & Sing-a-long
Wednesday 16 March sees us celebrate the following St. Patrick's Day with an evening of food and song. Drinks on arrival will be followed by a Feast of local produce and then we'll be rolling in the piano, handing out the song sheets and all enjoying a good old traditional sing-song. The 'craic' will be mighty and if you're lucky you'll be off on the 17 to enjoy the local parades. Paddy's Day also marks the opening of Lismore Castle Gardens, which is a must-see if you are in the area.
Mothering Sunday
We all have a little longer than usual to plan that special lunch out this year as Mother's Day is falling a little later than normal on Sunday 03 April this year. O'Brien Chop House will be offering our great value Sunday lunch menu of traditional McGrath's roasts, Ballyvolane Saddleback roast pork with crackling, homemade pies, fresh fish and much more besides.
