"Absolutely disappointed beyond belief. Why even bother opening and advertising that they do food? We really should have walked straight back out the door upon entering. But we had read reviews and really wanted to try this place. The staff were disinterested. Pointed to a table where we were to sit for our evening meal. We were given what can only be described as filthy sticky pieces of paper that were supposed to represent a menu. The table was dirty and sticky with drink stains. Nevertheless we proceeded to order 3 main meals. Over an hour later we still had no food and not once did anyone come over to the table to explain why. The place was by no means busy. There were 4 tables with customers! After approximately an hour and 10 minutes we asked if there was a time that we could expect our food to be ready. Bearing in mind our order was for baby back ribs, a steak burger and a chicken skewer. So not overly complicated. We were told that there was only 1 chef working!. And that the manageress would go and check for us. She returned to say that food would be ready in 5 minutes. Approximately 10 minutes later the baby ribs and steak burger arrived. We had to wait a further 5 minutes for the chicken skewer meal. When it did arrive the chicken was cold and absolutely cremated. So much so that the chicken itself had started to disintegrate and a powder of charcoal remains were on the plate. Absolutely disgusting and inedible. Our entire party left all the food and we went to the bar to pay and left. Disgusted, disappointed, disillusioned and would NEVER RETURN"

"Came especially for the vegan menu (I’m vegetarian as I heard good things about it. Drove from Lisburn all the way to Parkgate and had 2 very enjoyable nights. First night I had the cauliflower popcorn (bit too salty for my liking and the sweet potato roulade (amazing! . My husband had the soup of the day (very nice and the risotto (little bit stodgy, looked as if cooked too quick . For dessert I had the apple/berry crumble which was very nice and husband had sticky toffee (also gorgeous! . Decaf oat latte’s at the end sealed the deal. Just delighted to be able to order a good decaf coffee! Next evening returned with a friend. I had the salted chilli stir fry (verrry salty, but that’s what it says on the tin and the cauliflower pie. The pie was a bit of a let down. The gravy was overbearing, essentially, the whole dish tasted of gravy. I would have preferred to get it in a dish on the side (like with the roulade to add the amount I prefer myself. Same desserts again this evening, both again very nice. Service was ok, young girls mainly and you could tell some were a bit inexperienced but that really didn’t impact us. Food came out super quick! I will def be back, altho I won’t be ordering the pie again and I hope next time I will be able to try the “scallops” as they were sold out both nights (sat 6pm and sun 7.30pm and they just sounded amazing! If your hesitating to go for the vegan menu, don’t!! It’s the best vegan offering I have encountered to date. I really hope they keep it up."

"Absolutely shocking! Very little choice on the menu for starters. Finally ordered and they they get the drinks wrong. Then our meals come out. Both had steaks. Wrong steaks on the plate. We had each other’s. (one with sweet potato, other with normal chips. I had well done, husbands was medium/rare. After swapping as mine was clearly rare, I then saw that the other was medium rare! No well done! But it was inedible! The sheer amount of grizzle on the steak made it unable to eat… sent back and the manger came to speak to me… offered another stake as well as my husband as his was the same… although he couldn’t be sure another stake wouldn’t be like it again as they’ve had a lot of complaints about the stakes! He goes and checks… comes back and says actually they are all that bad, and stake is off the menu! Would I like anything else? We’ll not much choice when stake is off, as is the sweet potato curry and the pepper pasta!! Bit screwed if your a veggie or vegan… like the table next to us… who were offered just small salad for dinner!!! I ordered the curry, that came 30 mins later by which point my husband had finished his food… he decided to eat the steak bits he could plus the chips…. All we was offered to say sorry was a free drink… we don’t even drink alcohol.. so a free coke or water?! After refusing a free water, they eventually offered 1 free pudding! Left the table still hungry!!! Lovely anniversary meal… cheers!!"
