My saughter and I stopped by Scanlons in Kinnegad to try their famous breakfast. We were not disappointed!!! I ordered a breakfast roll and my daughter the full irish breakfast. Our tea arrived within minutes by a friendly waitress who had a chat with us. There was a few in the pub and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. I enjoyed the breakfast roll with bacon, sausage, egg and black pudding and the irish breakfast was as expected a plate loaded with bacon , sausage, egg, black and white pudding, hash brown , beans with toast. We had a feast!!! The food waz hot, delicious, and the tea was gorgeous, just what we wanted on a cold rainy morning. Less than 20 euro for the breakfast for two was fantastic. Service was quick and super friendly. Scanlons are now our go to place for breakfast but we cant wait to try their lunch menu andvtheir early bird A la carte dinner menu. 100% recommended.
01/04/2026: We arrived in Ireland, and this was the first place we stopped for food. Right away, the bar was set high. Bracken’s has that kind of charm where you can feel the history and picture generations of locals gathering there.
My son and I went with the chicken curry and beef curry, my wife had the chicken sandwich, and my daughter had the pasta of the day. That pasta was amazing. It was a creamy pasta with chicken and bacon, loaded with cheese, and it was seriously good.
The curry was excellent—really flavorful with a little kick, probably around a 1.5 out of 5 on the spice scale. The chicken sandwich also had a bit of spice to it.
Yolanda was our server, and she was friendly, kind, and welcoming. The food was outstanding—honestly, off the charts good.
For our first meal in Ireland, this was a great start.
