How do you like your Eggs? Not like that anyway. Called in today June the 8th at 12:30 and we were one of 3 tables. I ordered the full Irish and partner ordered the Chicken Burger.

Breakfast was extremely poor and partners Chicken Burger was Frozen processed Chicken with frozen chips, not great for €15, Similar to the Chickens you would get in a Deli hot Chicken roll.

One of those pictures is the underneath of one of my eggs, between the Cooks/Chefs and the service staff that breakfast should not of arrived to our table like that.

It was such a great place before. Came today with friends, food was awful! Everything is extra dry and looks dead, full Irish breakfast without mushrooms or tomatoes now. Cheese sandwich and toast were impossible to eat as the bread was so hard that you could kill with it.
We will not return here again. Such a pity.

Food was cold. Waiting ages for it. Eggs over cooked. Milkshakes are just watery milk with flavouring and cream.
No one greeted us when we walked in it was very strange. Cold dull place. Coffee was the only nice thing.
Pancakes are processed too as well as the muffins for eggs was meant to be bread. 60 euro for 2 adults and a child crazy prices.
