LUCINDA’S NOTICEBOARD

“Tripe is tripe, even though it be served with every recommended precision of elegance.” Dorothy Parker

Dungarvan’s Old Bank has launched its second in-house restaurant, Cuan, with chef Tom Walsh delivering a fine dining menu at €85pp and Antonio Clemente as the new GM. Let’s hope social distancing takes care of the chaotic squashedin-like-sardines experience we had in its bistro when it first opened. theoldbankdungarvan.ie

The Salty Buoy Food

Truck, Niall Sabongi’s latest fishy enterprise, kicks off on August 1 serving lobster rolls, oysters, etc. It will be at the Avon Ri in Blessington Sat/ Sun 12-5pm, and at Baste BBQ on Clanbrassil St, on Wednesdays 5-8pm. He’s also looking for lots of city pitches — pubs, car parks, office blocks — for lunch and dinner. My back yard sounds good! @SaltyBuoyTruck Tell Lucinda how you’re fighting back:
