REMINDER!

Monday 7th of Please Make Alternative Lunch Arrangements 🎓

A little reminder that we’re closed this week for MU graduations, reopening on Friday.

Congratulations to everyone graduating; years of hard work, deadlines, exams and questionable life choices have led to this moment. 🎓

For everyone else, I regret to inform you that I cannot feed you.

Please remain calm, source lunch elsewhere and try not to make any permanent decisions while hungry.

Normal service returns Friday.

From one plate to a full service. Always satisfying seeing the finished result come together at scale.

Friday 4th of Your Favourite Employee Has Returned

I was off yesterday.

I won’t ask how you all managed without me. Some things are simply too painful to discuss.

But I’m back today rested, refreshed and, most importantly, absolutely radiating humility.

It’s always been one of my best qualities.

Today’s menu is attached and hot food is served 12pm–2pm.

Normal service has resumed.
You’re welcome.

Menu for Thursday 2nd of “I want to be alone”

I’m out of the office tomorrow, so the menus are being posted a day early.

This absence is entirely unrelated to the recent Cultural Icon ruling, increased media attention or any alleged discussions with TIME Magazine.

No further comment at this stage.

FINAL CONCLUSION: CULTURAL ICON STATUS REINSTATED
Following a review, the Committee acknowledges that the recent “Cultural Icon” posts were among the most popular posts on this account. Ever.
Regrettably, this constitutes supporting evidence.
CASE CLOSED.

Wednesday 2nd of Taking Ourselves Seriously Has Been Postponed ☔

It’s raining.

But today we’re embracing the important life skill of not taking ourselves too seriously.

Plans go wrong. Hair gets wet. Umbrellas turn inside out. Occasionally you walk confidently in the wrong direction and simply have to commit to it.

Laugh. Carry on. Pretend it was intentional.

Today’s menu is attached and hot food is served 12pm–2pm.

Tuesday 1st of Choosing Peace Until Further Notice 🕊️

Starting September calmly.

No drama. No chaos. Just positive thoughts, inner peace and the quiet confidence of someone who fully expects all of that to collapse by 10am.

Today’s menu is attached and hot food is served 12pm–2pm.

Until then: serenity. Or coffee. Whichever works first.

It's a special week in Maynooth next week, as graduates celebrate years of hard work and achievement.

We'll be taking a short break during the graduation ceremonies and look forward to welcoming you again soon. In the meantime, we'd like to congratulate all graduates and wish them, their families and friends a fantastic few days of celebrations. ✨
