The first Mother Hubbard's was a simple caravan at the side of the Dublin/Galway road. Famous for its mug of tea and sausage and bacon sandwich, the place quickly became a landmark for great food worth stopping for. Over the years Mother Hubbard's has welcomed people from all walks of life, famous sports teams, media celebrities, musicians, and of course the truckers!
 

	The original Mother Hubbards caravan

When we set up Mother Hubbard's in 1972, we wanted to create the kind of roadside restaurant that is a home from home. When you are travelling, or even when you are not travelling you want delicious, hearty, homemade food that tastes great, looks great, and is served with a smile.

At Mother Hubbard's, where possible, we source all our meat from local farms and all our vegetables and seasonal fruits from local growers. We buy our breads, pies and desserts from local people too. That's why our food is the freshest, simplest and tastiest Irish food you can get. It's also why some things are only available when they're in season.

Encouraged by the positive feedback from satisfied customers we have set our sights on expanding our operations to all corners of the country. Since 1998, we have opened new outlets in Cashel, Co. Tipperary and Kilcolgan, Co. Galway and we currently employ 260 people. More recently, this year has seen the opening in February and March of our newest outlets in Oranmore, Galway and Larkin's Cross, Wexford.
