The Forge Restaurant

The Forge Restaurant Review

When one arrives at the car park of the Forge Restaurant it becomes immediately clear that this is a very personal product, the gardens have beautifully manicured lawns, the flower beds clinically wedded and the antique garden ornaments have been carefully chosen and positioned to complement this wonderfully restored building that is an 18th Century Forge. This is a re-imagining of a time gone past by Irene and Pauric White, both of whom clearly display a passion for quality and have a keen eye for detail.

The-Forge-Restaurant

Meet and Greet

Upon entering the Forge Restaurant, the meet and greet is both personal and professional, when one is seated the menu is quickly presented, jug of fresh cool water served and orders for drinks taken.

The Ambiance

Inside the Forge Restaurant the journey back in time continues with beautifully restored cut stone walls which have been pointed to frame their original glory. Antiques have again been tastefully selected and positioned to remind diners how times once were for ordinary Irish Folk, the pictures, the butter churn, the slash-hook, the horse shoes and the Blacksmith’s anvil set this modern restaurant in a time and place that is an experience to enjoy by all who enter. The Forge Restaurant is quintessentially Irish, yet, its genre and carefully presented cuisine could sit easily alongside the Pierre White’s Restaurants in Dublin and London. The setting? An opulent restaurant of tradition and culture, you’ll feel at home in, only better. The Forge openly welcomes old friends and new with equal enthusiasm, a true Cead Mile Failte.

The Menu

The Menu at The Forge Restaurant offers an extensive and delightful selection freshly sourced meats, game, poultry, vegetables, desserts and so much more. While one browses the menu, freshly baked homemade bread is served to wet the appetite for the fare that will soon be served.

The starter

As expected the starter menu is a delight of tasty treats, I enjoyed, Tom Doherty’s leek flavoured sausage with kale creamed potato and onion jus, while my partner opted for the Dry aged smoked bacon and Gubeen cheese quiche, dressed rocket, salad, and Derrycamma wholegrain mustard. The tastes and flavours of both opening dishes simply delicious.

The Main

The main from the Special Early Bird menu is complimented by freshly produced, freshly cooked and wonderfully presented vegetables. I enjoyed the Breast of chicken with thyme and mushroom scented risotto, bathed in a mouth-watering Chicken gravy, while my partner savoured the Panfryed fillet of Seatrout, spring onion creamed potato and fish stock veloute. While this was the Early Bird Menu, the Forge Restaurant was filling up, and it was clear that all were enjoying this early evening feast.

The Dessert

What can be said about dessert that has not already been said? Its homemade, its fresh, its warm, it is beautifully presented, it is mouth-watering, it is delightful, it is an indulgence of unapologetic proportions. I enjoyed the Chocolate mousse with vanilla shortbread, and my partner enjoyed the Warm apple and mixed berry crumble with ice-cream, both clearly a sweet treat after a hard day’s work.

The Wine and Drinks Menu

The wines offered complement the food choice of diners, wine list prices suit all budget types as does the wine list variety suit all tastes and flavor preferences. View Wine List.

The Chef Pauric White

Chef Pauric White’s idea of simple and tasty is old school. Elegant, modern, yet traditional dishes prepared using the finest ingredients and prepared by Chef Pauric. The deceptively simple and traditional menu demands every dish earn its place. The choicest cuts of meat from local Family Butchers such as Flood’s of Oldcastle, freshest fish, classic homemade sauces create the foundations for a reputation built upon professionalism, attention to detail, excellence, experience and personal endeavour.

Definition: Veloute: Thus the ingredients of a velouté are equal parts by mass butter and flour to form the roux and a light chicken or fish stock, with some salt and pepper to season as needed. The sauce produced is commonly referred to by the type of stock used e.g. chicken velouté.

Estate Agent says any new Government formation must smooth entry to the property market for First-time buyers

Dublin based Estate Agent, Property Group Tynan Martin Auctioneers (01 8603365), has said that any new Government formation must smooth entry to the property market for First-time buyers.

Click on Image for Latest Dublin Properties:

Property Group Tynan Martin Auctioneers

The call comes as New Central Bank rules take hold, and as a new generation of first-time buyers seek out that often elusive property as demand out-stripes the supply of new homes.

Latest figures from FTB suggest that First-time buyers are fleeing the property market.

Mortgage approvals to FTB reveal 23% slump as Central Bank rules take hold and Mortgage approvals plummet in the three months to January 2016, as first-time buyers either fled the market or failed to secure mortgage approval in the wake of the new lending regulations from the Central Bank.

On a year-on-year basis, the number of mortgages approved to January 2016 plummeted by 15 per cent, according to latest figures from the Banking and Payments Federation Ireland (BPFI), while the value of mortgage approvals slid by 13.6 per cent.

The decline in mortgage approvals was most marked for first time buyers (FTB) however, with mortgage approvals down by 23.1 per cent on a number basis, to 1,067, and by 12.4 per cent (€190m) on a value basis. These are the lowest level of approvals since the series began in September 2014, although FTBs still accounted for about 50 per cent of all mortgage approvals.

While the end of the year is traditionally a quiet time for the housing market, and the last quarter of 2014 was particularly strong ahead of the new lending rules, the figures nonetheless show a marked decrease.

Irish Tourism 2016

Posted on 30 December 2015 by

Irish Tourism 2016

The Irish tourism industry is expected to employ an additional 7,000 people in 2016 with another record year of business being predicted by its representative group. Hen Party Packages

Irish-Tourism-2016

The Irish Tourism Industry Confederation (ITIC) said the same benign conditions that led to 2015 being a strong year for the sector were likely to stay in place. Stag Party Packages

These were buoyant economies in the key markets of Britain, the US and Europe and favourable currency exchange rates with the US dollar and UK pound. Greater capacity in airline travel and cheaper fuel were also factors in the value of the State’s tourism industry exceeding €7 billion in revenue this year for the first time, ITIC said.

The figures were boosted next year by a record number of overseas visitors, 8 million, with a 16 per cent increase in overseas visitor revenue to €4.1 billion.

The domestic tourism economy has also performed well, growing by 6 per cent to €1.6 billion. An additional €300 million was earned from visitors from Northern Ireland, ITIC said.

‘Remarkable’

Eoghan O’Mara Walsh, ITIC chief executive, described 2015 as a “truly remarkable” year for the Irish tourism industry.

Mr O’Mara Walsh said each €1 million increase in revenue from overseas visitors generates 14 new jobs. The projected 5 per cent growth in visitor numbers would lead to 6,800 new jobs, he said. He added that better marketing of the Irish tourism product may lead to an even larger increase.

The industry currently employs 220,000 people inthe State, or one-in-nine of those in employment.

However, Mr O’Mara Walsh said the €109 million allocated in the Government’s capital programme over the next five years for tourism was inadequate and the figure should be increased to €250 million.

This would allow for development of the 15 signature points on the Wild Atlantic Way and the regeneration of traditional “Victorian” Irish seaside towns such as Bray and Tramore.

More competitive

ITIC chairman Paul Gallagher said Ireland had won market share over competitors such as Scotland by being more competitive.

“This is because we have trimmed our costs, improved our product and the marketing programme is much more finely attuned to where our customers are,” he said.

Mr Gallagher said Dublin needed 5,000 new hotel bedrooms urgently, or the equivalent of 30 new hotels, and that a lack of capacity was acting as a “handbrake” on growth.

Fáilte Ireland is soon to produce a report on the subject of Dublin hotel development. He also said the industry needed the certainty of the 9 per cent VAT rate to be retained on a permanent basis.

He pointed out that the revenue generated by increased tourism numbers since the VAT rate was reduced from 13.5 per cent to 9 per cent in 2011 has more than made up any loss of revenue to the exchequer.

Property Prices Dublin 2015

Dublin based Estate Agent, Property Group Tynan Martin Auctioneers (01 8603365), has said that property prices Dublin 2015 have dipped, although they remain at a high when compared with prices 5 years ago, demand remains high as a new generation of first-time buyers seek out that often elusive property as demand out-stripes the supply of new homes.

Property Group Tynan Martin Auctioneers

House prices have started to climb outside Dublin but fell in the capital between June and September, new developments along the commuter belts such as Ashbourne in Meath have once again seen houses being sold off the plans.

Property prices in Dublin have fallen between 1.2 and 1.4% in the three months between June and September say Dublin based Estate Agent, Property Group Tynan Martin Auctioneers (01 8603365). However, over the past three years property prices in Dublin have remained relatively stable.

One possible cause of the property price drop in some Dublin areas could be the new Central Bank borrowing rules, however, people remain cautious and await any new measures in Budget 2016 which may help first-time buyers.

Rural Ireland is witnessing some price increases of 3-3.5%, however, the reality for places such as Longford and Cavan is that property prices remain well below par with urban centres such as Dublin and Limerick.

A national average asking price can be said to have risen from €164,000 in 2013 to €210,000 in 2015, however, it has to be said that it’s all about Location.

The Institute of Professional Auctioneers and Valuers IPAV: remains critical of the new rules introduced by The Central Bank, when they say;

“In our view the rules were premature and are far too severe,” Pat Davitt, the organisation’s Chief Executive said.

“The rules are forcing young people in the capital in particular who cannot come up with a deposit for a home to remain in rental accommodation or move to the burgeoning suburbs and beyond where they will incur increased transport costs. This is no way to develop as a society, it is indicative of a dysfunctional property market.”

Win All Ireland GAA Tickets 2015

Posted on 6 August 2015 by

Win All Ireland GAA Tickets 2015

Win All Ireland GAA tickets for GAA All Ireland 2015 at Croke Park, Hotels near Croke Park can be booked on Gardiner Street Dublin.com, the championship is hotting up and if you want to be at The 2015 GAA Final in Croke Park you need to Like Dublin Hotel News on Facebook and Share the post. Winner of 2 tickets to GAA All Ireland Final 2015 will be posted on Dublin Hotel News well in advance of the GAA All Ireland Final 2015. Two years on and Donegal and Mayo meet again in an All-Ireland quarter-final – only that’s where the similarity largely ends says Donegal defender Frank McGlynn.

All Ireland GAA Tickets 2015

He reckons there is an “immense” difference between the way his team entered that game, in 2013, and how they enter it this Saturday: Mayo comfortably triumphed 4-17 to 1-10 in 2013, and Donegal looked a tired outfit.

“We’d lost the Ulster final, and we’d just come through a very difficult game in Carrick-on-Shannon, just six days later,” says McGlynn. “So we felt we were straight into it again.”

Donegal lost their Ulster final to Monaghan on July 21st, beat Laois in Carrick-on-Shannon on July 27th, then played Mayo on August 4th. Three games in three weeks, in other words, and as defending All-Ireland champions, it was simply too much to bear.

This time, Donegal got 13 days to recover from the Ulster final defeat to Monaghan, before taking on Galway in Croke Park last Saturday.

They won 3-12 to 0-11 and if they looked mostly fresh at the end it’s because they were.

Longer break

“This year, we had a bit of a longer break, after the Ulster final, with the 13 days, and the difference really is immense,” says McGlynn. “That second week allows you have the few blow-outs at training, then recover again. Because in 2013 it was 20 minutes or so before that game (the Ulster final) was out of our system.

“This year, with the two weeks’ recovery after the Ulster final, that has made a big difference. Against Galway, in the first half, we wouldn’t have been too happy . . . They certainly asked serious questions of it. The second half opened up a good bit and we were able to get scores.”

Still, both Donegal and Tyrone will need to buck a trend this Saturday in order to progress to the semi-final.

With Munster champions Kerry and Leinster champions Dublin already through to the semi-final, recent trends would suggest Mayo, as Connacht champions, and Monaghan, as Ulster champions, are also primed to progress.

There was one notable exception, in 2010, when all four provincial champions were actually beaten in the quarter-finals: Kerry, Roscommon, Meath and Tyrone. Since then, however, the provincial champions have been dominant: all four prevailed in the quarter-final stage in 2011, 2012, and again last year. The only blip was in 2013, when Tyrone beat Ulster champions Monaghan.

“Mayo have been one of the top four teams in the country for the last three or four seasons now, so we know it’s a massive challenge again,” said McGlynn.

The teams meet for the third time in four seasons in the championship, having met only once in All-Ireland history prior to that. Donegal lead 2-1 from those three previous meetings, including of course the 2012 All-Ireland final).

It was built on the site of the former Point Theatre, a smaller music venue which closed in 2007, retaining only some of the outer architectural facade. The Point Theatre was branded as ‘The Point Depot’, in recognition of its original role as a railway goods handling station and its central role in the community for many decades.

In the period 2008 to 2014, the 3Arena was known as The O2 Arena. Its 14-500 capacity makes it the largest indoor arena in Ireland. The venue was rebranded on 4th September 2014 as the 3Arena due to the takeover of O2 Ireland by Three Ireland, both mobile phone operators.
