As the new owners we have been trading as PaddyPortions@Caferest for 10 weeks now and are delighted that lots of the previous regulars have returned and been very supportive and positive. We decided to keep the business running as Louis and Elle had for the last 54 years as we felt that they had a winning formula. Obvisiouly we are tweeking things slightly as we go along to put our own stamp on the place. We gave the place a lick of paint and a freshen up but decided to keep things familiar to ensure that the existing clientele felt at home. We are also making every effort to encourage new customers, builders for breakfast, work collouges for lunch, couples for dinner and families for Sunday lunch, birthdays and special occasions.
Our food is all homemade with a traditional Irish and English menu, things such as Boiled Bacon and cabbage, Irish Stew, T-Bone Steak and old favourites like Braised Steak and all day breakfast are all on the menu and freshly sourced and cooked by Pat and Ann in the kitchen both from Tipperary.
There is always a friendly buzz with lots of the old regulars chatting about the new menu and the length of time they have been coming here. They are sad to have seen Louis and Elle leave but they really have welcomed us and been supportive of our new venture.
It is disappointing to have received a negative review on this site, this is the result of an incident, whereby, a long existing customer, took acception to being told, that it was unacceptable, to relelive himself on the pavement outside the cafe instead of using the toilets that's are provided for our customers.
We are doing everything we can to ensure a nice, clean and friendly environment for all our customers to come and eat good homemade affordable food and we look forward to your custom in the future. Pat & Karen
