Brunch - The Great Wood, Blanchardstown (Wetherspoons)

 I met with Enid and Alice this morning for brunch in Wetherspoons (The Great Wood) in Blanchardstown. 

 

We took a while perusing the menu.  Alice had never been before and was very impressed with all the choice and the price.  Enid and I still can't get over the cost of alcohol - particularly the premium brands like Grey Goose and Belvedere - although it was a bit too early for drinking today!

 

Enid got the large breakfast - €6.95 including a drink (tea/coffee/soft drink).  It really was Large, and she picked at it and ate half of it (leaving the carbs - the bread & hash browns etc)

 

I really liked Alice's stack of American pancakes (3) and rashers.  This came with a  drink also - Alice got coffee.  Plus she also ordered a (freshly squeezed) orange juice and it all came to €7.50 approx.

 

I got a southern fried chicken wrap with chipotle mayonnaise.  I hadn't realised it came with chips and I didn't eat any of them - I am calorie counting at the moment! Mine came to €6.25.

 

Even better than the food was our topic of conversation.  We are planning a big trip for our (big) birthdays in November 2017 so talk was all about what we were looking for in our trip to Key West in 2017! 

Wetherspoon Blanchardstown review

Peri peri half roast chicken, mini corn on the cob, king prawns, vodka and diet coke.

 

For the princely sum of €13.75 (it was their special Wednesday Chicken Club deal) 

 

The good:

The food was very very nice in my opinion.  The peri peri was incredibly zingy and hot - tasted a little like Franks hot sauce. The king prawns were big and fat and juicy and sweet.

The price is right.

 

The bad:

I found the wifi a little slow.
