A great shop right in Heuston Station. They only carry a select number of items here and the prices are a bit more than the normal shops but they have a good selection of items you would want when traveling or arriving back if you don't feel like cooking.
This is a great coffee shop in Ennis. They also have a good selection of pastries and sandwiches.
This is an amazing Mexican restaurant in Galway just a five minute walk from the train station. Great food, lovely staff, and good prices. If you like tacos check this place out!
Why do I ever return to this place? When it first opened it was brilliant. Now, I can honestly say it's the worst place to eat in Ennis. I keep venturing in on the random occasion and regret it almost instantly. The quality has plummeted while the prices have trebled. You pay a tenner or more of a couple pieces of soggy, greasy chicken that's been under a heat lamp all day and then they charge you another three euro for gravy. There is nothing good about this place. You will get a better deal on better, fresher food at any of the local petrol stations in town.
This is one of if not the best Mexican restaurants in Belfast. It is just as good as the ones in Dublin. The staff are great, the prices are very reasonable, and the food is perfect.
Quite possibly one of the worst places I have ever visited. The staff were rude, slow, and in the end and I my son and I walked out after having choice words with the manager. If you are in Birmingham avoid this place as it is not somewhere I would wish on anyone.
I love ropes courses and this one is really good. The instructors are brilliant and really know what they are doing. My son who is eight loved the low ropes as well. Don't let the name fool you - even the low ropes have a good bit of height to them, enough to make it quite thrilling even for adults! You get a good introduction from the instructors before setting off and overall it's quite an amazing experience, especially for anyone who has never done a ropes course before. I would recommend this to anyone who is visiting the Alton Towers theme park.
This is a great buffet restaurant located in the Alton Towers Splash Landings Hotel. They do breakfast, lunch, and dinner and the prices are very reasonable. All they offer is a buffet, but they have a really good selection for all three meals. We had all three meals there over the course of our stay in the hotel and were well impressed with each one. The service is amazing and you rarely have to wait long for a table. Breakfast is what you would expect. Lunch is a pizza/pasta/salad bar buffet and dinner has a wide variety of items like stew, chicken curry, plus carvery including roast beef and turkey. I usually am not a fan of hotel buffets but this one was really good and we definitely will return here again on our next visit.
I must say, I really enjoyed this place. For those who have never been here or heard of the place, this restaurant is unique because it not only has a rollercoaster theme featuring all the rollercoasters in Alton Towers but also the food itself is delivered via a rollercoaster system in the restaurant. It even has a corkscrew and loops! You order off a tablet and put in your seat number and as the kitchen cooks your order it will arrive down via the rollercoaster. It's a great idea and really cool to see in motion. You do however have to plate your own food but that is a small price to pay to get to witness the system in action. The food is also very good. I had the filet and lobster and it was cooked perfectly and well worth the price. If you are going to Alton Towers this place is worth stopping in for dinner but be aware you need to book tables for dinner in advance and for us I booked it two weeks in advance and it was still booked solid for two of the three days we visited.
I just wanted to give another quick update. Domino's in Ennis has once again put their prices back down and now have a good selection of deals on offer. Their service is quick and I love the online pizza tracker that tells you exactly where your pizza is and how long it will take. I'm back to being a regular customer and will continue to be unless they stray back to their old ways.
