Really good cafe, some really fantastic light bites. A healthy option with plenty of taste.
McHugh's serves a special blend of loose tea and seriously tasty, but a little strong towards the end of the pot. So you might want more hot water halfway through.
I had the mini mini breakfast, which is sausages, bacon, beans, soda bread and tomato. A dish that you would say was a confused breakfast and left me a little stumped.
