I've not had a bad meal at the Clock yet, thumbs up IMO. I think the photos speak for themselves:

Beef Stew & Mashed potatoes

Cottage Pie & veggies

Looks good Lee, but where's the gravy?

Actually I think its stewed beef, not a beef stew. A beef stew should be a liquid mixture of meat, carrots onions and the dumplings floating in it.

Not a gut buster - you must be fat mate, that's a pretty big meal I'd say...

Great to hear that Steve has taken over the Irish Clock.He's a very nice guy and an astute businessman.If anyone can make the Irish Clock a sucess it will be him.
One question,though,the previous owners of the Irish Clock also owned the City Lodge,as I understood......who now owns the City Lodge ?

A very Happy New Year to you lucky folks living in Udon.Hopefully,it wont be too long before we are back.
Have a good one !

Ownership of the City Lodge has not changed. Still the same owner and management. It is going to be hard pressed to compete with the Irish Clock.

Dead right there Doc now Steve is running the Irish Clock.

The Steak and Kidney Pie with mash potatoes veg and Gravy that arrived on the table in a Gravy Boat.
And for my "mate" oldfields information this was a "Gut-Buster".

at 150 baht, perfectly made and was great.
the thai food was very good also the wife tells me.

Does anyone know if anything special is planned for tomorrow or can I go try the roast beef. Sounds good

Post by **beer monkey** » December 30, 2006, 4:59 pm

only saw items on the specials board, roast beef/lamb for 31/12/06.....170 bahts.
try the beef, but ask for a gravy boat so you can pour yourself.

Thanks I'm going to try to get there tomorrow.

I'll take your word for it.

I may even try it out one of these days. S & K pie with mash and gravy happens to be in my top 3 meals of all time, along with fish and chips and bangers and mash.

Now if they would throw in some peas with that pie......................

I stayed at the City Lodge December 2005 and it had just changed hands and was being managed by the daughter of the owner of the Irish Clock at the time, think her name was Tracey and she has only just emigrated/arrived.

I think it was her brother who was managing the Irish Clock.

I was going to pay a visit to the City Lodge again last month, but it was closed up. A shame as had an excellent stay there and staff, especially the chef from the UK (can't remember his name) were great. Would have been nice to find out how they are all doing.
