A derelict gas station in West Cork, Ireland, has been given a new lease on life as a roadside diner, and locals are relishing this foodie heaven.

Trained chef Faye Bolger, 30, has run the Bally Bia food store in the village of Ballydehob since she was 26 years old. When the store began outgrowing its premises in 2020, with its kitchen spreading into an adjoining living room as demand increased, and no room for outdoor dining which was restricted due to Covid-19, Faye was forced to think outside the box.
