Meat on a board, in bread or in a box. Chicken, cow or pig. You get a good feeding here and they serve some nice IPAs. Some bottles are bigger than others though, you might wanna ask which are the bigger bottles so you don't feel hard done by when your mates all have more beer than you do

There are many walking tours done by students here, they're supposed to be quite good. The Book of Kells is an old book with pretty pictures that I also hear is worth seeing, go early or you'll be queuing ages and probably will think it's not so great.
