Hello Potatoes! We're back and ready to 3-2-1 RO-HO-HO-HOAST for the winter season.

But before we dived into the meat and two veg of our Black Lion carv experience, we talked about all manner of things...

Roll up, roll up me hearties for here we are with another incredible, non-award winning episode of E&ESRWE&E. As we speak, Emer is recovering post Harry Styles at Slane and Esther is being virtuous and going for a run after her stint in the mini marathon last week. In this episode, we hit the road and adventured to Park Ri service station in Kells, County Meath. Inspired by comedian Michael Fry, we saw for ourselves what the Cook of Kells had to offer and we weren't disappointed. As...

Holy Bank Holiday Weekend Batman! The sun has got it's hat on but bain maries all over the country are still fired up, ready to protect and serve roast pots and active joints to whoever needs them.

There was a time when Emer believed there were only 3 rich people in Ireland - Bono, Enya and whoever owns all the Big Tescos. She now knows that Ireland is awash with secretly loaded folk and they probably get their housekeepers to do their shopping in Dunnes Stores, Cornelscourt which was also the site of this week's meal deal, carvery extravaganza. But the fun doesn't stop there. There's also mice talk, supermarket chat and Esther sitting in someone else's gravy. Now that's...

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...

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. As...

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...

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...
