08/06/2025: Had the classic. Great home made sausage with just the right spices. Roll held together till the end. Onions and peppers were tender and fresh.

04/06/2025: Contained in the huge English Market SC ,this place stands out from all the other exceptional vendors. Just a small stall with usually only 3 workers, it can turn out food to die for. All sandwiches are make rite on the spot. You can customize or order any of the house specials. Grab a special, find a quiet spot, (not possible) and enjoy.

15/03/2026: Very poor quality of food and atmosfere. I dont know it was owners or workersb but cheeky people. Highly NOT recommented that place and disgusting cold food!!!

07/12/2025: Very nice place, lovely atmosphere. Good food and dessert 🍨. Myself and my family we really enjoyed it.

18/03/2026: I booked for one night for my birthday. Phoned hotel and requested a bath in the room. I was told this is no problem. No bath in the room when I checked in. Also booked a table for my birthday for a meal. No mention of my birthday. Had to ask bar staff for supplies for the room, coffee, toilet paper and hand soap. Breakfast was awesome. Not sure if it's worth the money.

24/01/2026: What can I say? We stayed there spontaneously for one night without a reservation and received a warm welcome, including a complimentary drink. Two friends on an Ireland road trip were certainly happy about that! 😉👍 The rooms aren't the newest, though, which should be mentioned.

28/10/2025: Delivery took over two hours. When we rang after an hour and twenty minutes for an update we were told food left kitchen but one Delivery driver with several orders. Food was cold when it got here and restaurant just stopped answering the phone when after 2 hours, we had lost confidence if it would even arrive. We sent a follow-up email the next day with still no response. Not sure I can recommend

20/10/2025: Love the food. Gorgeous place to dine in and for take away.

19/03/2026: Had my son's Confirmation meal at the hotel recently. My husband and I had visited the hotel and met with Jessica weeks prior. She showed us around the different private rooms and we picked Raleighs, a small private room at the back of the hotel. It was for a group of 10 people. We had other venues lined up and even though the Walter came in more expensive we decided to pay that bit extra for a private room and a nice atmosphere. We paid our 100 deposit that day and we were looking forward to the event. Roll on to my son's special day, we arrived at the hotel and I went to let reception know that we had arrived. We were then told that another family were in the room we booked. Then, a few excuses from other staff members were that it was because we were a smaller group. Another excuse was that construction work was going on outside the window of the room and another one was that the breakfast stuff was put in there that morning. We ended up sitting out in the lobby on a makeshift table. We felt like we were sitting in a hallway. People were passing us and children from other parties were running around our table and at one stage went in underneath our table. My husband complained to the duty manager who seemed very dismissive. Later when my husband was up at the bar he was told the round had no charge. This was for 3 alcohol beverages and 3 soft drinks. We left feeling very disappointed and embarrassed in front of our guests. My son kept asking why we were sitting in the lobby when we had booked a private room. The next day, I emailed the hotel to complain and though apologetic at first, all we got was excuses. No offer of anything else or any other goodwill gesture. If you want to have a special family occasion, look elsewhere. I would not recommend this hotel.

23/02/2026: Sheltered from rain shower Bar basically empty, asked for lunch menu Told no as I hadn't booked !
