点评:We had a brilliant visit to the Clonakilty Blackpudding Visitor Centre – it’s an absolute must if you’re anywhere near the area!
What really made the experience stand out was the staff. Everyone was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. A special mention to Pauline upstairs in the café and Rory at reception – both were so chatty, knowledgeable, and full of fascinating history and extra insights that really brought the whole place to life.
The kids absolutely loved it too. There was an Easter hunt going on, which kept them fully engaged, and the dress-up section with traditional clothing was a huge hit – especially the butcher shop part of the tour, which they found great fun. They were also really intrigued by the factory viewing window, seeing how everything is made.
Top tip: try to go before 12 if you can – you’ll see more of the actual production in action, as most of the staff finish up around then.
And definitely arrive hungry! The tasting at the end was fantastic – generous portions of pudding, rashers, and sausages, all included in the tour, along with a lovely big pot of hot tea to wash it all down.
The gift shop was another highlight – really good value with lovely souvenirs. We picked up pens for €2 and there were mugs, hats, t-shirts, and tote bags all around the €10 mark.
Overall, a fantastic, family-friendly experience with great food, great value, and genuinely lovely people. Highly recommend!
翻译:我们参观了克洛纳基尔蒂黑布丁游客中心,体验非常棒——如果你在附近,绝对不容错过!
最让这次体验脱颖而出的是工作人员。每个人都非常友好热情。特别要感谢楼上咖啡厅的宝琳和前台的罗里——他们俩都非常健谈、知识渊博,而且对黑布丁的历史和各种趣闻轶事了如指掌,让整个中心都充满了活力。
孩子们也玩得非常开心。中心里正在举办复活节寻宝游戏,孩子们玩得不亦乐乎;传统服饰换装区更是大受欢迎——尤其是参观肉铺那部分,孩子们玩得不亦乐乎。他们还对工厂的玻璃窗很感兴趣,亲眼目睹了黑布丁的制作过程。
温馨提示:尽量在中午12点前去——这样你就能看到更多实际的生产过程,因为大部分工作人员都在那个时候下班了。
还有,一定要空着肚子去!最后的品尝环节棒极了——分量十足的布丁、培根和香肠,全都包含在行程里,还有一大壶热茶佐餐。
礼品店也是一大亮点——物美价廉,纪念品也很漂亮。我们买了2欧元的钢笔,还有马克杯、帽子、T恤和手提袋,价格都在10欧元左右。
总而言之,这是一次非常棒的家庭友好型体验,食物美味,物超所值,而且工作人员都非常友善。强烈推荐!
