Kennedys win Best in Ireland 2012 Bridgestone guide award.

kennedys — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 09:00:38 +0000

WOW. Five years running Kennedys Food Store and Bistro have picked up
the ‘Best in Ireland‘ plaque from The Bridgestone Guide. We are so
thrilled, this award represents a benchmark in food quality, sourcing
and preparation…Many thanks to Sally and John McKenna….we’ll
continue to work hard to keep it!

They also left this nice review…

Catherine Cleary, in The Irish Times, put her finger on the importance of local food specialists such as Kennedy’s of Fairview. A small, friendly restaurant, she wrote “feeds the longing to connect and belong”. Aha, so Kennedy’s feeds you once, and then feeds you twice: food for the body, and food for the (social) soul.

And Sarah Kennedy does all this at terrific prices: “not much more than a splurge at the local takeaway” wrote Ms Cleary, and this keen pricing is a vital element of what makes Kennedy’s such a local treasure. Leslie Williams was so impressed he reckoned every community needed a Kennedy’s. Aingeala Flannery in The Irish independent reckoned it was worth leaving your own neighborhood to eat in a neighborhood resturant like this. So, let’s start a campaign to make having Kennedy’s a constitutional right, but meantime let’s head upstairs to eat: pumpkin risotto with fried sage leaves; lemon sole with sautéed potatoes; rib-eye with bearnaise and their brilliant potato wedges; duck with Savoy cabbage. And on the way out, let’s buy dinner. Lucky Fairview.

NEW: Gluten Free baking

kennedys — Wed, 23 Feb 2011 19:09:25 +0000

Great news – this week we are starting our GLUTEN FREE baking at Kennedy’s Food Store! It’s been a while in the works but we have been busy working on our recipes and we finally feel delighted to present our first freshly homemade GF offering. We, as always, will be adhering to the highest standards of food production, baking everything ourselves from scratch, and delivering it to you at the best value price that we can offer.

The repertoire is small to start but each session and depending on demand we will be expanding our offerings….
The way this works is
We send you an email
You can send it on to other friends and family
You send us back an email by 5pm on Thursday with your order
We bake it on Friday afternoon
You collect and pay for it on Saturday and enjoy some delicious GF food and treats!!!

This Friday the 25th of February we will be baking:

Kennedy’s GF Oat & Millet Brown Bread
€3.95 per loaf
GF White Loaf
€4.05 per loaf
GF Chocolate Brownies
€3.00 each
GF Almond Bakewell Slices
€3.00 each

Currently, there is no minimum order so feel free to get anything from 1 brownie to 20 loaves. Some customers are already opting to order 2 or 3 loaves and freezing them. I also hear that the brownies freeze well.

Please, get back to us via email before Thursday at 5pm. Also….spread the GLUTEN FREE good news to colleagues, friends and family. We’re really delighted to be bringing this new offering to you.

I also have to, for health and safety standards and also to continue our tradition of dealing with our customers in a fully transparent way, explain that baking will occur in a segregated manner to avoid cross contamination. All areas will be fully sanitised and cooking utensils are used for GF only baking. We have not yet received our inspection from the Food Safety Authority of Ireland however, this is pending and should occur before our next batch. Those who are highly gluten sensitive must consider this before ordering however, let me give you a further assurance that we are taking full and correct measures to ensure the integrity of the product.

We look forward to providing you with good value tasty treats and fresh bread! If you wish to enquire about GF main courses feel free to pop it in the mail too.
