Donegal Mammy enjoys her pancakes!
Donegal Mammy went on a road trip today and ended up in Cloghan about 8 miles from Ballybofey and Stranorlar following the main road to Glenties.
Having been tagged in their face book page with some very enticing pictures, I headed for a little tea room called Marley & Tea I decided to check out the pancakes, that I had seen on their page. I was not disappointed!!!
The setting is beautiful, a scenic drive brings you to Marley & Tea where apart from welcoming staff, delicious food and although gardening isn't really my area of expertise, I was impressed by the wide range of flowers and plants in their garden centre attached to the tea room. Also on display were some great novelty signs and gifts to purchase, with some hand knitted items that Donegal Mammy thought the tourists would love to bring home as gifts after a visit to this lovely area. Great spot to stop off on the The Wild Atlantic Way
But as I was there for the food,and it being Independence Day my main interest was the pancakes.
My pancakes were served with sugar and lemon by my request and came with a side order of healthy fruit. Grapes, Kiwi and orange segments served in a dainty little cup, as part of the order is a nice touch and removed my guilt in the amount of calories two large pancakes contained. (So I actually got 3 of my 5 a day fruit intake!)
Live music from one of the members of staff (yeah during the day!) added to the unique overall experience and in between the locals and tourists Donegal Mammy enjoyed the visit very much and felt very welcome and well looked after.
There is a little play park just around the corner for junior members of the family and ten minutes drive further on is Fintown Railway
the only operational railway in Co. Donegal. a unique journey along the shores of Lough Finn in a custom built passenger carriage , and guaranteed to please all members of your family.
There is talk of evening events for grown ups where they can bring their own wine and enjoy food and music, to add to their day time treats but this Donegal Mammy highly recommends you visit with any age members of your family . A warm welcome awaits and delicious food. Have the pancakes, tell them
DONEGAL MAMMY sent you!
Great food, beautiful garden centre and excellent
welcoming staff.
