The price of a sandwich at Beaumont hospital

  1. They look better quality & cheaper than any airport.

    Not bad overall. You’d pay 4 quid for a sandwich in lidl, 6.50 for a gourmet lookin job like that, even with the hospital tax isn’t too bad.

    The 7.20 ones look like they’d toast them or heat them up for you?

  2. Maybe this is a normal price, I get sandwiches at work for€3.30 with crisps or a chocolate bar

    Edit, not as fancy though

  3. Aldi is great for pre made sandwiches if there’s one near you. Think they’re around 2.20 for a well filled club
    My go to when I don’t bring my own lunch

  4. Unfortunately I had to make a few trips to Beaumont when my mother was in a bad way. I wasn’t stuck for a few quid but felt like I was getting ripped off because I had no other choice to stay at the hospital. If you were coming from the west with tolls fuel overpriced parking and cafe a couple of euro can do your head in when your at your wits end.

  5. Beaumont actually used to do really nice chicken and stuffing sandwiches, like surprisingly good. Not sure if the same stuff now but used to be a small highlight on very depressing visits.

  6. Don’t be fooled by those panini’s either, so much bread to chew through to get to a wafer thin slice of ham and crap cheese.

    Wraps are best for actual food to bread ratio.

  7. This is the standard price for sandwiches now and has been for a long time. 6.50 to 7.50. Any garage will be a bit cheaper, but presuming this is a caf, then ya, what’s the issue? Coffee is going for 4 euro now ffs.

  8. “The Market Stall” … me arse.

    Also whenever I see anything with market in it I now run a mile. I have associated it with ridiculously expensive food. Including farmer’s markets.

  9. Pretty much the same in crumlin. And if your staying there a long time with a sick kid it’s really expensive. We stayed in parents accommodation for a bit and would have been fooked if it wasn’t for local businesses donating food every evening to the parents. A lone parent staying in the ward with your baby though costs a fortune.

  10. The canteen is pretty desperate quality as well. Beaumont is awful on food choice. You’re stuck between the canteen for staff, the overpriced sandwiches, and the Starbucks in the research building at best…

  11. And it’s a kip to. Perfect example of how Ireland works here, guaranteed u won’t find such prices anywhere else in Europe unless it’s of course Norway or Switzerland hospital but we’re not even close to their standards

  12. On the ground floor, if you go all the way down the corridor (from the entrance, past the shop) and then left, and then left *again*, you end up outside the staff canteen. Those vending machines are MUCH cheaper than any other ones in the building.

    I found out because I was doing laps of the ground floor to stay sane when I was in there during COVID (I didn’t have COVID, but I understood the “no guests” rule… and didn’t quite understand the “no patients in the gift shop” rule when there was also a ban on visitors).
