The facility is two weeks away from its first birthday, having been set up by those in the rural north Kilkenny spot with help from the local authority and LEADER, the third of its kind in the county after Billy’s Tearooms in Ballyhale and Lakeside in Windgap.
Open Wednesday to Friday from 9am to 4pm and Saturday from 10am to 12:30pm, it’s run by a group of volunteers and boasts not just food offerings and a socialising spot but also an area to study or work from, an indoor handball alley which has doubled as a dance class location, there are a number of toilets including one with a shower if needed.
