Hattons Cafe Bistro - Navan

Just had lovely dinner in the bar and food was wonderful. Our waiter was so accommodating with our little boys food who can be very fussy. Thank you for lovely dinner and eve we will be back.

Always want to stop and try.. Food was excellent, service quick, and lovely staff.They let us eat outside with dog. Food arrived very quickly and it was nice and fresh

I visited this restaurant with a large group of friends for a retirement event. We had reserved the function room and arranged for catering by Hattons. All our meals, including starters and main courses, had been pre-ordered. The function began at 7pm and by 7:45pm, we were asked to sit down for our meal, which we all finished by 8pm. However, 1 hour and 45 minutes later, our pre-ordered food started to arrive, and unfortunately, it was disappointing. Our table of 5 had all ordered breaded mushrooms, but only three small mushrooms appeared for each person along with a couple of chips. For the main course, I ordered the Chicken Thai Red curry, but I left feeling very hungry. The portion consisted of a small silver bowl with what seemed like red water, 3 pieces of chicken, a few forkfuls of rice, and a few more chips. There were no naan bread or poppadoms. I have eaten at this restaurant's bar before, and the portions were always generous and delicious. I can't help but feel that customers at the bar were prioritized over us, the pre-paid customers in the function room. It was a disappointing experience, especially since we were there for the entire evening.

I visited Hattons today after passing by many times and always wanting to try it. Unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. The food was average but nothing special; the Thai red curry was particularly disappointing as it seemed to be the same as the chicken curry on the children's menu. The service was the most disappointing part, as it was extremely slow - it took over an hour for our main dishes to arrive. The servers were pleasant, so we didn't complain, but the kids were getting restless by the time the food finally came. The bistro itself is quite small, so I would recommend booking in advance. The value is decent, but for a little more money, there are better dining experiences available. Will we return? Highly unlikely.

We had dinner at this restaurant this evening. We had passed by several times and decided to try it for dinner. We waited 40 minutes for our food to arrive and asked a staff member after waiting for half an hour. She said she would find out, but we are still waiting for her to come back to us. There was no apology for the delay. The food wasn't too bad, but the kitchen mixed up the chip order and the Southern Fried Chicken Burger tasted like a curry burger with too much curry powder used in the batter. There was a table with three couples and their children eating in a separate room. They appeared to be regulars as the staff spent most of their time talking at this table. When it came time to pay, we were not asked if everything was okay for us. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to this restaurant.
