I've been known to grab one just to amble around the nearby charmless ASDA. It's a mish mash place and it's all the better for it. It has a sit in restaurant; it's a green grocers and a butchers (with a Himalayan salt cabinet to dry age good beef, turning an exquisite product to a sublime one) a deli shop and it does a range of ready meals, cooked hot meals to takeaway, coffee & cakes, sweet & savoury pies and they bake breads. A few visits ago I was tempted by their lemon meringue tarts as they sat nestled among other sweet treats. It's £2.4 for the pie and it's a generous single portion if you're a pig (moi? perish the thought) or go half and half with someone else (moi? perish the thought). As the old Irish saying says 'it was looking at me'. Oh matron don't mind if I do. And I did. It was very nice. The staff greet you warmly

It's very hard to criticise a place that's great value with mostly quality food. That said I only…read morebuy a few items here - for fresh I go for fillet steak, pork fillet, chicken breast and pork mince (5% fat). So all meat is from Irish farms and I believe the quality of Irish meat is always excellent. The fillet steak is 32 day dry aged. Most steak in the USA is wet aged which is cheaper and produces an inferior product. For frozen it's their Greenland cold water prawns. They are again wonderful quality and taste. The last day I was there they were selling snow peas at 49 cents a bag and 500gm of red grapes at €1.29. Wonderful value for great produce and they often have real deals on fresh veg. So I bought a half dozen of each. The new normal is that you may have to stand outside a while as numbers are now limited. This is ok in an Irish summer (which this year is lousy). They provide hand sanitizer on entry. The only other downside is that they don't have many check out staff so again you can queue there a while too but it's the rub of the green here as the prices are so competitive.

The great thing is they usually have free samples which is a great way to try before you buy. The butchers does really great meat and they have a handy little deli counter. This branch is really spacious and everything is easy to find. They offer the superscan option, where you scan your own products as you shop and then just bring the receipt to the counter and pay. And they have recently introduced self scan check outs. The shop is usually pretty packed and queues are really long, but this can be avoided by using the self scan check outs. If you have the money to spare, or want to get some quality food and do not mind spending that bit extra, at least check out the bakery section

It's been a long time since I've been in an Asda and I didn't buy very much. This one is a very…read moresmall store by this organisation's standards, it's parent company is Walmart. Like so many places now customer numbers are limited and social distancing is imposed. There's a one way system around the store as it has narrow lanes, and if you go against it, and some did today, staff are very quick to chastise. That's how I observed them come across, officious rather than polite but I must always be polite to these front line workers as they are minimum wage and their parent company isn't generous to them despite having a near £800 million operating income in 2016 (the last date of published figures.) My wife wanted to buy some of their own brand cleaning products as apparently they are very effective. So I bought junk food, savoury stuff like crisps and nuts. I followed my wife into the store as I first went to the local bakery next door to pick up a takeaway cappuccino. They had the check out tills well organised with a staff member dedicated to directing customers as check-outs freed up so we didn't have to queue too long to pay and go.

Carpark is ok but it also be used for people visitng other parts of kilkeel as parking in kilkeel is hard to find thus. in the store it is well laid out, very clean but they always weem to be packing shelves with trolleys ect blocking what you are tryin gto get at and no one around around to move them for you. another downside to this store is it has no toilets and the staff make it very clear for health hygeine and safety customers are not allowed to use theirs and ther eare no toilets nearby that would be handy if you really neede to use them. baby changing and disabled toliets are also not catered for. it also has no Goerge so for people whjo love the george label you will have to travel to downpartic which has verything asda in kilkeel does not have plus more. a large store like this should cater to the modren day public unfortunatley kilkeel is still way behind in the dark ages with this store.

REAL IRISH FOOD COMPANY You never know what good things you…read morewill find on supermarket shelves these days. Recently, we told you how the organic products from Cobh's Just Food are sold by Supervalu and will soon be sold by six Dunnes Stores shops in the Cork area. Dunnes already stock the Follain range of jams and relishes. Their marmalade is one of my favourites; another is that made by Bramley Lodge in Carrigtwohill. Just this weekend, in Dunnes in Ballyvolane, I picked up one of the very best strawberry jams I have ever come across. Based in Drogheda, they make jams (including marmalades), relishes, dressings, salsas and cooking sauces. Keep an eye for this and other products from the award winning company, founded by Bronagh Conlon in 1997. http://www.realirishfood.ie

Vegetarian café with great food and ambiance (4.5/5 Green Stars)…read more We stopped here en route to Carlingford on a friend's recommendation and all three of us were very happy we did. The place is lovely - the café is filled with light and plants and the surroundings are beautiful. Mum is a picky eater but she relished the mushroom quiche and finished the entire piece even though it was huge! (Seriously - about three times the size of portions elsewhere.) My brother loved his herbed rice bowl and I liked the organic porridge with fruit and the pistachio plum cake. The only kink was that several items arrived much later than the food - the coffees, bread, and honey for my porridge (I had already finished my porridge by then). The store is filled with great stuff - fresh fruit and veg, and a good selection of some of the most ethical products. Weirdly, the Strandfield website contains no info other than an address, so you have to rely on reviews to get info in advance. The lunch menu is mostly comprised of sourdough pizza, salads (including a quinoa bowl and herbed rice bowl), and sandwiches - see menu photo. There are also lots of bakery items, including freshly baked scones, cakes and wheaten bread (which was really good - I bought one to take home). I'm giving Strandfield café 4.5 out of 5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact, for these reasons: · I didn't actually notice at the time but the menu is 100% vegetarian! · Strandfield uses free range eggs from their own farm. · My porridge was made with organic oats · Flowers and plants in the café come from Stranfield's own nursery · The grocer sources local and organic fruits and vegetables along free range eggs, and organic health foods · The store stocks a really good selection of ethical goods - I could do most of my shopping here if I lived here. · Strandfield would benefit from providing more info (on the website or menu) on ingredient sourcing.
