Can I have the recepie for the sauce you put on your steaks? Just kidding lol. Just wanted to say I was in over the weekend and had some food and a drink. Was only to stay a bit but met so many people from home (Kerry) I ended up staying till closing. Great food, great staff but also great friends to be made.

Visited O'Gradys Kitchen for first time last week, and am wondering why Ive never been before. Food was great, best bacon & cabbage I've had for years. My husband had Irish Breakfast which was also very impressive. Noticed that you have live music so will be returing for an evening session. Thanks for providing an alternative to the local hostelrys.

I would just like to pass on my sincere sympathy to all the friends and family to a man who was well known in O'Gradys and was a close friend of mine and he is deeply missed by all his friends around Tottenham where he also drank. His name was John Jordan !! RIP John. we've lost a great man who loved his hurling and a true staunch cork man.

liked the pub but had to listen to a little bloke with a baseball cap and some old grey haired bore with a tash drinking too much guinness and not stop talking about barbados .and the little bloke waving photos around thankfully these two bores drove us from the bar to the resturant where the steaks where excellent
