Munster Foodie Tweet-up June 24th


Hot off the press. Cronin's Bar invite you to the next Munster Food Tweet-up!

Come and join us for the fourth gathering of Munster's food lovin' peeps who like to tweet 'n to eat!

This event is open to all food lovers, restauranteurs, chefs, producers, bloggers or anyone who is interested in great food, conversation and of course who tweet and are based in the Munster area.

The agenda for the afternoon is as follows...
Sunday, 24th June 2012

5pm :
Step aboard the Cork Harbour tours ferry boat at Lapps Quay in Cork city, where we will be departing for Crosshaven. On route, take in the spectacular sights that Cork harbour has to offer, including Blackrock Castle, Cobh, Spike Island, Fort Camden and Roches Point lighthouse. We'll have some musicians on board and some craft Irish beer to quench your thirst!
Note : Bring a warm jacket for the boat trip to Crosshaven, it can get chilly out there, but it's worth it :)

6.30pm :
Arrive at the Hugh Coveney Pier, Crosshaven, where it is a short walk to Cronin's Pub. Here the BBQ will be fired up and Denis and his team will have fresh locally caught fish and a few other Cronin's foodie goodies on the go. If the Irish weather is not on our side, we'll pop indoors for some heartwarming grub and a knees up!.

10.30pm :
A return bus will pick you up outside Cronin's Pub and drop you back to Cork city centre, safe and sound. Couldn't be simpler or sweeter.... but that's the life of a tweeter!

We are looking forward to you joining us in what is guaranteed a lively afternoon of banter, music and a lovely bite to eat in one of Munster's most scenic villages by the seaside. Don't delay. Order your tickets here

Cronins Bar in Crosshaven

CRONIN’S PUB

Enjoyed a decent lunch in Cronin’s Pub in Crosshaven in mid-week. By chance, we ended up in a rather gloomy corner though there we later saw there was a much brighter room at the other side of the bar. Loads of boxing pictures (mainly old) and some interesting old posters, also lots of illustrations of ships around the place.

The welcome was bright and breezy and the starter, their famous fish soup (they don't call it chowder anymore) was top class, more like the fish soups you get in the south of France. Great value at €6.00.
Then on to the main course: garlic prawns on brown bread with chips and salad (€10.00). The excellent tasty chips were homemade. The salad was well varied, including a potato and dill portion, and well dressed. The prawns and the dip were also excellent.

On a personal note, I’m not really sure that brown bread and prawns, though they do pop up together every now and then, is the best of combinations. We had the brown bread with the soup and it was fantastic. But, wet from the prawns, it didn't taste its best. Perhaps, the brown bread could be served with the dish but separately.

Still, that didn't take much from an enjoyable meal which we rounded off with two decent coffees (€2.10 each). Service was quite efficient and friendly but next time we’ll probably sit on the brighter side!
