We visited The Red Kettle, Wexford yesterday when looking for somewhere in the town for lunch, with our two children after seeing their good reviews online. It was such a nice cosy spot to stop off. I had the lasagne special, served with salad and garlic bread which was delicious! My favourite part.. the big red pot of tea! The kids loved the chocolate pancakes and are already planning our next visit, as they want to try the pizza and I want to try the halloumi and walnut salad!

This was our second meal here. Both were very good but I especially enjoyed the Greek salad. The dressing was light and flavorful with lots of feta and olives. The staff are friendly and attentive.

A Warm Welcome at The Red Kettle Café – Wexford’s Hidden Gem Stopped into The Red Kettle Café while visiting Wexford Library for family research across the street. The place has a lovely, cozy charm—exactly what you’d hope for in a small Irish café. The staff were warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. I had the lasagne special, which came with a fresh side salad and garlic bread—comfort food done right. My mom had a salad. To top it off, they brought out a proper pot of tea, complete with a cheerful red tea cosy (not a red teapot, as the name might suggest!). It’s those little touches that make a difference. The atmosphere is relaxed, the service is friendly, and the food feels homemade and hearty. Definitely a great stop if you’re in town and want something satisfying without any fuss.
