In yet another exciting instalment of Ireland's premier carvery/roast podcast, we continue to discuss the most mundane and pointless of topics all in the name of gentle entertainment. This week: a new Aldi for Stoneybatter, Esther falls in love with a tiny bus and Emer talks about gondolas. It's got something for everyone/nothing for anyone.

And of course, we also conducted an investigation into The 51 Dublin, Haddington Road, home of navy wearing men and multiple sports blaring, flatscreen TVs. Did we love or loathe our experience? Well my little roast potato, there is only one way to find out...

3-2-1 LET'S ROAST!

Thanks so much for listening and if you enjoy the pod, support us making it by tipping us a coffee/tiny gravy boat here. It all helps keep Emer's Nissan Juke on the road, travelling Ireland in search of the best in carvery and roasts.

See you next Sunday!

Emer and Esther.

The Taj Mahal, the Grand Canyon, the Kildare/Dublin border. All three are magical destinations for those in search of inspiration and reset. But at only one of these great places, can you order yourself a tip top carvery meal and enjoy more Michelle de Brun memorabilia per square inch than anywhere else on earth. Which is why we pointed Emer's Nissan Juke west and headed for the Poitin Stil, off the N7.

What did we think of our carv experience?! You'll just have to listen to find out.

Hello Roast Potatoes,

Like two spring lambs, this week we gambled and pranced to the magical land of Palmerstown in Dublin 20, just off the N4. The focus of our carvery investigation for this episode was Palmerstown House on the Old Lucan Road and a good time was had by all. Chief Wally, Esther, forgot to turn the mics on for the first 15 minutes of the pod so this one is a bit shorter than usual but we'll be on our A game again next week.

Thanks so much for listening! Oh, and if you enjoy the pod, why not buy us a coffee/tiny gravy boat here. It all helps keep Emer's Nissan Juke on the road, travelling Ireland in search of the best in carvery and roasts.

See you next Sunday!

Well, kiss us on the lips and call us Joe Biden.

This week we continued our journey into the West but this time, we were kicking it up a notch. We were thrilled and jammy enough to be - hashtag gifted - a stay at The Lodge at Ashford Castle in order to sample their incredible three course Sunday roast menu. And what can we say - it was a work of culinary art. But not only was the food and service top drawer - the grounds were stunning too. Imagine a dream Sunday where you trot around the gardens of Ashford Castle, take a little ferry trip on Lough Corrib and then top it all off with the incredible roast lunch at The Lodge. Did we sell out? Absa-frickin-lutely but we'd never lie to you - this was an incredible lunch and well worth the treat.

Thanks for listening again this week Roast Potatoes and see you again next episode when normal carvery service will resume. Oh and if you want to pre-order Sophie White's new book (out 4th May) you can do so here.

Yours in gravy boats,

Emer and Esther.

Don't call it a comeback - call it season 2 of Ireland's only podcast dedicated to the art of carvery and roast lunches hosted by two women called ⁠Emer ⁠and ⁠Esther

We took a little break to digest life (oh, and Emer wrote a book) but now we have returned, committed to travelling the island of Ireland and seek out brave new carvery confections.

In this two part episode, we hit the road in Emer's Nissan Juke and head west to Corrib Oil in Castlebar, County Mayo where a listener assured us a great time would be had by all. In the forecourt of a petrol station, we tucked in to a take-away container of a carvery experience - a first for the pod. And to further celebrate our return, Emer even did a special Easter Quiz for the day that's in it.

Enjoy and Ramadan Mubarak, Happy Easter and Happy Passover if you celebrate them but if you don't happy Sunday!

We're so eggs-cited to be back.

Peace and roast potatoes to you,

Esther and Emer.

You didn't think we'd leave you hanging on Christmas Day did you?! We would never let you down on the most important day in the roast dinner calendar - no way.

Maybe you're having a huge celebration surrounded by 6 million of your closest friends and family or maybe you're cosied up at home alone - regardless, we are here to keep you company. Emer's done a quiz which Esther fails miserably at and there's even a Christmas gift exchange.

We're taking a break for January as Emer is finishing off the latest OMGWACA book with Sarah Breen but we'll be back before you can say 'can you flitter that cabbage with your tongs please?'.

Thank you so much for listening and getting in touch this series. It has been a real delight making these episodes and we're so glad you're listening.

Ahoy!

On this, the second last episode before the Christmas break, we climbed into Emer's blacked out Nissan Juke and headed northside, to Fagan's Pub, Drumcondra. We had joy, we had fun, we had a carvery and we hope you enjoy!

This week our intrepid duo hopped into Emer's Nissan Juke and headed down the M50 and M1 in search of carvery deliciousness at The Coachmans Inn, Airport Road. This one came highly recommended but what did E & E think of it all? There's only one way to find out...3-2-1 LET'S ROAST!

This week on E&ESRWE&E, we hit the Long Mile Road and went for an emergency mid-week roast to the Halfway House on the Walkinstown Road. We talked about hotel kettles, unhinged Christmas offerings and our now beloved, Armomat Arochat.
