The building they're now is is called Thimble Castle - small, but probably 4 times the space they had in High Street. This building was home to butcher's shop for a long time, and since has been a fish-and-chip shop, and a variety of cafes - most-recently Churrio Nation. It's next-door to Roots Cafe, and beside St Nicholas church. The outside of has had a paint job, except for the balloons mural, which has so far survived the eagle-eyes of city officials as well as the weather.
The menu is the same: proper Irish chips, locally sauced (if not sourced!). You choose size (big, bigger, biggest), a sauces (Harry's nut butter, Drummond House garlic aoili, market curry mayo, bad-boy burger sauce or white truffle kewpie mayo), seasoning (Irish sea salt or chicken salt), and an optional garnish (diced white onion, diced jalapeno or parmesan) - and they do the rest.
Named after the Irish-language word for potato, it's pronounced pray-tee, and written with a couple of fada's, ie Prátaí not Pratai.
Opening days / hours are to be confirmed - but it's likely to be a seven-days-a-week operation.
