I was impressed with my first visit to Hogans. So much so, that I went again a few days later after my inaugural visit.
Walking in, you stand in the entrance corridor with stairs in front, the lounge to the left and dining room to...the right. You are not sure where to go as there is no greeter so you have to sort of wait to be seen.
On neither of my two visits last week, did Covid screening or requests for passports occur. Staff wore masks but sometimes their noses were exposed. It was evident that adhering to protocols was not a priority.
Decor was quaint and in line with the historical building, but disjointed by the two very different main dining areas.
Food on the other hand was the highlight. Fresh, nicely plated, ample sized portions and reasonable value for the money.
Service was good and personable.
I would likely return, although it said a lot about safety and enhanced cleanliness when Covid protocols are not followed by the restaurant.More
