This review is taken from the current (2010) edition.
The first thing you notice on entering Waxy O’Connor's is the sheer size of it. The different rooms and levels make it possible to find a cosy nook even when the pub is busy. Added to this, the wood interior gives a reassuringly traditional feel for an enjoyable pint. Unfortunately, the food is a slight let-down. The bruschetta starter is enjoyably hearty, however, the chicken supreme main course is slightly bland, while the side-order of potato wedges lacks any crispness and resembles a baked potato quartered and covered with Cajun spice. Much of the enjoyment of a perfectly reasonable jam sponge dessert is removed by having to find a member of, admittedly very pleasant, staff to chase up the order after a 40-minute wait.
- High point: Cosy wood interiors
- Low point: Slow food service
