Simon Lambert & Sons
Wexford
23/03/2025: Just popped in for a drink and use the loo.
18/03/2025: I came here for lunch with my family on Paddy's Day, and the service was horrible—especially from the older lady with short hair, who I assume was the greeter. All the tables were occupied, which was understandable, but the restaurant wasn’t overly crowded, and the atmosphere seemed calm.
I asked for a table and was met with a sharp “We’re full.” No hello. No warm welcome. Just pure rudeness. I then asked if we could wait, and she responded with another sharp “No.” She added that we could come back in half an hour or an hour. This didn’t make sense to me—if we wanted to eat there and a table opened up in 10 or 15 minutes, we’d miss our chance to be seated.
I asked again to clarify whether we could wait in the empty open waiting area, and with one last dismissive and slightly annoyed “No,” the conversation was over. We ended up standing outside Lambert’s, trying to figure out our next move, and saw others go in to check if there were tables available, only to be sent back out.
While waiting, I wondered why they couldn’t simply allow a line to form outside. It didn’t seem that difficult—there was space on the sidewalk, no fire hazard, and it would have been a reasonable solution. Instead, we had to find somewhere else to eat while our daughter cried from hunger.
We eventually found another restaurant, which also filled up soon after we arrived. But even when it was full, the hostess there empathetically informed customers that there were no available seats and even offered to take their number to call them when a table opened up. That level of customer service was miles ahead of what we experienced at Lambert’s.
I can’t help but feel that the staff at Lambert’s take their popularity and the fact that many people would be visiting for Paddy's Day for granted. No matter how they treat people, they know more customers will keep coming in. I ate here once before and really enjoyed the food, but after this experience, I’m struggling to see myself ever going back.

Charred
Wexford
16/02/2025: Visited here before the Damien Dempsey gig on February 15th. Glad we did. It was delicious. We had steak and ribs and both were top notch. Simple but effective menu. The girl working there was friendly and sorted a table for us at the last minute. Prices are reasonable. Definitely recommend visiting Charred if you are in Wexford.
08/02/2025: Charred has amazing food me and my wife (vegatarian) have been a number of times and the food and service has always been excellent.
As a neurodivergent the LED lighting vibrates and bothers me and depending on where seated the music can be very loud but the guys can be accommodating and lower it when asked. I’m not mentioning this as a negative more for those like me who might struggle with it.
Overall I’d highly recommend and it is priced just right in my opinion.
