Waiting to come here for ages, got the chance, food was luke warm (breakfast), was on a cold plate, hopefully next time a better experience 👌
So sorry Brian, this shouldn’t happen but unfortunately sometimes it dose. Give us another go and I’m sure we will impress.
After living in Ireland for years, I always heard the hype of the hard boiled egg.
I got a cheese omelette both times and the omelette is nice, can't argue with that. It was fresh and nice - however, the price of the food does not match the size of the portion or the taste on my opinion.
I also ordered another side of chips (fries - I was hungry, don't judge!) and they never actually showed up to the table. When paying, it was still included on the bill. Asked to remove the item which was done.
It is a little overpriced thank you the hype and lack of choice in the area.
I have had nicer food from a greasy spoon for half the price. But I would happily go back though, just wouldn't make a habit of it 😌
We visited here yesterday afternoon, the staff were very friendly and the service was excellent. We walked in the door and we were spoken to straight away, which I think is a great quality.. Enjoyed our meal here. Continued success to the staff of the Hard Boiled Egg Café. Will visit again.
