Operation Transformation is BACK and we’re ALL getting involved to celebrate their 10^th anniversary.

The hugely popular ‘Ireland Lights Up’ walking initiative returns in January along with the much-anticipated return of the show on January 8^th which will run through to February 26^th, which is in partnership with the GAA, Operation Transformation, and Get Ireland Walking.

 

GAA clubs across Ireland will once again ensure ‘Ireland Lights Up’ by hosting community walking groups during the eight-week broadcast period of the hit RTÉ show. The Old Mill and the local GAA clubs, St Anne’s and Thomas Davis GAA club have had a close relationship for many years.  The clubs support and push all those looking to get involved in Operation Transformation and we’re getting involved.

 

Over 270 clubs participated in Ireland Lights Up in 2019, with a total of 65,000 walkers getting out during the initiative. Let’s make this bigger and better than ever with everyone in Tallaght getting behind this great community event. St Annes and Thomas Davis will host a weekly walk and we want to help and reward all of you taking part.

 

To celebrate this fantastic event our Head Chef has created a weekly special that will have you running to the finish line. With fresh dishes like poached chicken Laksa with lemongrass and ginger.

 

Keep an eye on our Instagram and Facebook for exciting fresh recipe ideas plus photoshoots of what’s being prepped plus much more.

Let’s go Tallaght!

Rugby fans around the world are already looking forward to the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan. It is the first time in the event’s history that it will take place outside the traditional heartland of the sport, and the first time it will be held in Asia.

The 6-week tournament will kick off on September 20 and will finish with the final on November 2 in Yokohama Stadium. The fixtures will be played in twelve stadiums around Japan, providing rugby fans.

Japan 2019 will be the ninth Rugby World Cup and we have the perfect guide to have you ready, plus some events kindly sponsored by Heineken for the day…

 

 

 

Rugby Day Nutrition 101

Night Before

Many players and coaches are big supporters of loading up on carbs and protein the night before watching a big game. Lucky for all you, fanatic rugby heads we have

you sorted … dig into our mouth-watering hefty, protein-packed burger with fries… mmm, yummy.

As for hydration, enjoy an ice-cold Heineken to wash it down.

 

Game Day

Hydration is key so make sure upon awakening you head straight to one of our bars showing the matches and grab a juice or coffee while you look over the menu.

 

BREAKFAST, BALLS, AND BANTER

Breakfast

Make sure to consume plenty of protein and carbohydrate-heavy foods to keep you fuelled for the day such as our Irish Breakfast. Which includes everything you will need to be the best supporter on the day.

Pre-Match

This should be a small meal to stock up on top of breakfast and to compliment your beer. Try our special house nachos. They will leave you replenished and ready to hit your support stance.

Grab your beer, get in position and COYBIG!

It’s never too early for rugby, breakfast, and banter so we are opening a few of the

bars for the earlier Irish Games.

COYBIG!

The Old Mill really got into the summer feeling this past weekend. Head Chef Zsolt transformed its menu into a tropical paradise. Giving customers the opportunity to stray from a more traditional option to dishes like grilled salmon with mango and avocado salsa. Daring to play with ingredients that we wouldn’t at home. The event which is now in its second year and by the looks of it will have a third next, is on for one weekend only making you crave it as soon as you leave. The vibrant menu went down a storm and received high praise. Giving food for thought on ways to spice up the ingredients on the grill at home.

 

It’ll be a weekend to mark in the diary for next year. We’re excited to see what creations Head Chef Zsolt has up his sleeve.

 

Until then …

 

If you and your family or friends joined The Old Mill for The Summer Grill, we would love to hear about your experience
