There’s a restaurant in Louth?
ha , that really made me laugh.
In China they just present the bill without comment, but including “2 forks” or whatever as an item.
I wasn’t robbing your Honour, I was removing.
the cutlery was just resting in my handbag.
A lot of Nordies eat there, just sayin…..
‘Our cutlery isn’t medicine – please don’t take after meals’
I accept they shouldn’t have to do this but if they stopped using the branded cutlery then it wouldn’t be an attractive rob. The plea is unlikely to work with the types that want to whip these souvenirs anyway.
The picture is unfortunate but they don’t use branded cutlery in there. Saw this on their tables a few months back but only lasted a few weeks. Maybe they are back. I asked one of the barmen about it and he said the most popular were the tea spoons, side plates & glasses, salt & pepper canisters gain legs but dinner plates have also been disappearing. Damn big bags to be carrying out dinner plates in.
Fork off?
Would you ever get a knife?
Stag and Hen dos. A bloody scourge, but good for the tourism industry in the north Louth hinterlands.
So these people go home with them, eventually have people round for dinner and, when asked why ‘Fitzpatrick’s’ is on the cutlery, proudly say “Yep, we stole those from a restaurant” and think that’s a good idea?

An unfortunate side effect of the catering game I’m afraid, so much so that Jamie Oliver estimates he has 30,000 napkins a month stolen from him. Virgin, who had little silver salt and pepper shakers in the shape of planes went with it. Rather than trying to combat people nicking their stuff, they printed “Pinched from Virgin Atlantic” on them. It was a huge coup and passengers who footed the cost in the ticket loved it.
Tis a well known fact the Irish fork is much prized and south after by American tourists.
As presume they be surprised that Irish folk actually eat with a fork.
Look what we found in Ireland, a fork. ohh wow.
No it was in an actual restaurant.
Meh. Fitzpatrick’s is very over rated. The Food House in Carlingford is way better.
I don’t give a fork
