The best restaurantsof irish in Laois

14/12/2024: Visited this cafe with my daughter yesterday while I was in the cue I noticed staff were under pressure with orders been taken but at the end of the service counter there was a guy counting money from a till this before 2pm the cue was getting longer, there was elderly gentleman waiting for someone to take his money his food was getting cold so he asked this guy to take his money and they guy said no to get one of the counter staff to take it as he was cashing out on this till he was standing at for nealy half hour the old man voices his dissatisfaction which he had a right tos poor management and poor business practices and customer service from a person in position of responsibility who failed basics of customers service which is customer always comes first and when it's busy as this establishment was yesterday then this guy should have rolled up his sleeves and got stuck in to help behind the counter to at least relieve pressure on other counter staff good management is when a leader leads and not just bark orders or leave work for everyone else to do he could have left tills till later in evening as doing them at later time would not have been difficult thing to do, i would have scored this 5 stars but after what i witnessed from behaviour of manager left me with no choice but to score it 3 stars let's hope by my next visit practices and customers service attitudes by management will have changed today one individual has let all his team down on a review score point it's a pity as other staff were absolutely fantastic and were apologetic for their managers lack of consideration to restaurant customers service attitudes

21/11/2024: I had lunch here and really enjoyed the food. I had a chicken salad which included kale with Pumpkin seeds and other salad ingredients which was really tasty. The amount of food was generous and all for €8.50. I'll definitely be returning!
