SOLAS – Plant sale, new menu and famous chickens

SOLAS

As we come into the Autumn season, SOLAS has launched a sale offering 20% off all Greenhouse stock and also our amazing range of roses.

Though SOLAS is no stranger to publicity, this week we have a number of ladies feeling quite giddy about their new found fame as our resident flock of hens were covered in the September edition of ‘Irish Country Magazine’ under the headline ‘Hen Party’ which extolled the role the chickens play in turning food waste into fresh eggs for the kitchen.

The fact the magazine had ‘Rosanna Davison’ on the cover didn’t seem to faze them in the least.

SOLAS Food

Chef Allan as every is brewing up a storm this week and menu items include:

  • Battered fish and chips with mushy peas
  • Plant based salt and chilli spice bowl (photo coming)
  • Breaded chicken burger with chilli mayo and pickled jalapeños
  • French Toast with bacon and maple syrup
  • Avocado toast with poached egg and pickled red onion.
