Sunday, April 4th saw large crowds descending on Mallow’s main street for the food and crafts fair. The street was pedestrianized from the O’Brien Street junction to the Clock House, allowing a diverse group of traders from Mallow and further afield to show their wares.

A huge variety of gastronomic delights were on offer, from local cheeses and pastries, to Indian spices, and my own favourite – the devastating rebel chili sauce.

Some interesting crafts were on display, including a range of healing and decorative crystals from local business Crystal Earth.

The restaurant trade seems to be one of the few that is blooming recently. We have a clutter of cafes, a ton of takeaways, a batallion of bistros and a rabble of restaurants. Food quality varies from adequate to exquisite, but there really doesn’t seem to be a bad apple in the basket.

My most recent experience in one of the Italian restaurants was an eye-opener. We had to wait for a table, and there was a queue in reception for the duration of our visit. Having said that the service was friendly and relaxed, and at no time did we feel pressured to eat up and get out. It was, in essence, a great dining experience.

So what’s Kinsale got that Mallow doesn’t have? Higher prices for starters…
