Restaurant Review: Sublimely tasty food at Monk’s Lane in Cork
heads to Monk's Lane in Cork to sample the old country pub.
IT is mid-term so I gather around me a pair of the progeny and a brace of Foleys, Chanson and Gambler, and set off for a jaunt around West Cork. Unlike the more recent blast of apocalypse-heralding ‘summertime’, this February day sticks to a more familiar script — sulky grey sky scowling through windscreen, nagging cold wind despite mid-teen temperatures — yet this most exquisite part of the world is, as always, soothing balm for ragged edges, tonic for faltering spirits, and by the time we have arrived in Timoleague, we are nicely primed for a spot of lunch.
