| - My wife and I stopped into Claddaugh at about 1:30 on Saturday November 8, 2014.
We ordered Scotch eggs for an appetizer.
My wife ordered their signature corned beef soup. I ordered fried bangers for my meal.
The scotch eggs came out immediately and were very good. Most places offering this dish overcook the eggs -- they're supposed to be soft in the middle (these were).
Then, the wait began.
About twenty minutes later, our waiter came up and said our food was on its way. I asked him if he could at least bring out my wife's soup, because, well, it's soup (it's not like you have to bake it or anything).
After another 12 minutes, the soup and my fried bangers arrived.
The waiter said there was a wedding going on. I replied, "but you have weddings in here all the time, you'd think you'd be able to manage that."
so it goes.
The signature soup was very tasty.
It was however very skimpy on the corned beef (and I mean like a couple of really small bites). And, to my taste, it was overloaded with potatoes. All that said, it tasted great.
The fried bangers were delicious. I'm guessing the wurst is home made -- if not, kudos to whomever they get it from.
The second long wait was for the check. I'm guessing we waited for about 15 minutes after we were done eating before it arrived. It took an hour and fifteen minutes to eat lunch (at least I had good company -- my wife).
The food was good. The long wait due to a wedding was a poor excuse I thought. I'll definitely eat at Claddaugh again.
PS -- If you haven't already, sign up for their rewards card. It gives you $5.00 off the meal and another %15 I believe (they process the card on the spot).
