We take a look at The Parson’s Nose
Posted: 28 January '11 by Niall
It was one of those Sundays. After a well-deserved lie-in, a quick inspection revealed that the cupboard was bare, and neither of us were in the mood to face a trip to the shops. Why is it on days like this you can’t stop thinking about food? Just then, inspiration struck: we’d driven past The..

Fast food at its best – Wagamama
Posted: 26 January '11 by Kelly
January is a horrendous month. Cold, dark, and blustery.. And it didn’t help matters that on this particular Thursday night I only finished work at 8pm!

THERE WERE NO MUSHROOMS!!!!
Posted: 08 September '10 by Kelly
It was Niall’s birthday (not that we ever need an excuse) so I decided to treat him to a meal at James Street South in Belfast. We had previously been invited by Chef Niall McKenna to taste his ‘Great British Menu’ dishes and were blown away with just how good his food was, especially his..

We’re back in The Dog house
Posted: 07 June '10 by Kelly
I had been in Dublin visiting Ciara for the weekend and hadn’t seen Niall for a few days so we decided to catch up over a meal and a few drinks. You might remember that we had been to The Barking Dog before and thought that the food was delicious, so decided to go back…

My 30th birthday fell on a Friday this year so before the party that was planned for Saturday night my husband and I decided to celebrate my joining of the 30 club by taking a trip to Shanahans on the Green for one of their renowned steaks. Being huge fan of steaks it rates at..
