Myself and my wife and twins (aged 18 months) called for lunch Saturday about 4.30. The twins usually make strange with strangers but not in this case. Ordered 2 lunches and a baby lunch for the twins to share.Waiter couldn't do enough providing high chairs and ensuring kids were properly strapped in. Baby lunch was served first which gave us peace to feed twins thus giving us time to enjoy our meal. Choose chicken and stuffing and honestly it was cooked and presented beautifully , didn't get dessert as we were stuffed. Kids had left a bit of a mess but nothing was a problem for the staff. There was light music playing which twins really enjoyed as they were up grooving at one point. When bill arrived we were informed that kids eat free from kiddies menu at the weekend which was a nice surprise. Smiling Staff waved us off (glad to see the back of us Mabey) and to be honest I can't wait to return, top class

My husband and I arrived Just before midday. No brunch only lunch! So we decided on toasties. I asked for Granary bread(only brown)with Brie,Cranberry sauce & crispy bacon! Husband had cheese &bacon. It came with coleslaw&thin fries(Great value@£5.90!) Weâd coffees. Mine came bacon was RAW NO Brie-as itâs âonly cooked in breadcrumbsâ???! So had to get cheddar. French fries needed another few minutes! I told the Lovely wee girl that the bacon was Raw&un-eatable and she offered to take it off the bill but it was hardly worth it. Seems a Great pity as we Often come here on route to Donegal! Does the Brie mean itâs Bought In ready made? Or does it mean itâs frozen then defrosted? I Donât know! But to be honest it Has put me offWhich is a Great Pity...!!

I ate here when staying at the hotel. On the first night I had a seven course pairing and tasting menu which was delicious, although quite expensive. The next night I had a two course meal from the menu which was also delicious. This is a place to go to for a special occasion.

We are old traditionalists who cook Sunday Dinner but last weekend we were invited out by our daughter, husband and two children aged 3 and 4 and head for the Elk Bistro.The attraction for them, as a family was the appearance of two 'unicorns' looking remarkably like small ponies with single horns!But it was the food that caught our eye. Starters were self-service and brilliant. I choose the prawn cocktail but went back to sample the chicken wings which were top notch. Soup was served and came with a roll and butter. It was hot, first-class, healthy and inviting at this time of the year.The carvery was my downfall, far to greedy but glad I got to sample the various meats on offer together with the freshly cooked vegetables, cocktail sausages, stuffing and the best gravy on this side of the Sperrins. If I was to choose between the meats I would have to say the lamb was out of this world. For others it could have been the ham which was slow cooked, full of taste and goodness. Mind you the silverside went down terribly well too!Tackling dessert was a big challenge and eventually I turned down a host of appetising food on offer and opted for the trifle as I had been passing over this offer for many years. It was an experience, so well crafted together in a tall vessel and easy to devour.I couldn't leave without the tea and I am sure it must have been Thompson's. Brilliant.As for the two grandchildren it was some experience for them, not just getting a gentle ride on the unicorns but really getting stuck into the food which was ideal for children.Have I changed my traditional habit of cooking Sunday Dinner? A definite 'Yes' is the answer. If I was to start on Friday and cook throughout the weekend I could never deliver the variety and the quality of food on offer at the Elk at the prices on offer.

Typical pub fare, they do some items better than others. Caesar salad as an appie came with chicken, a little over dressed, but decent portion size. Squid appie came as small limp pieces. Chicken burger was large (and fried), the Parmesan and rosemary fries were a huge miss; Fries covered in salad dressing and Parmesan cheese is not what we thought it would be. Fish and chips, again, a decent portion size. Friendly service and a well stocked bar. Lots of cozy seating, strong wifi and clean washrooms.

This restaurant doesnât have huge appeal from the outside so we were quite surprised when we went in.Service was friendly, but they could do with someone staying in front of house instead of everyone disappearing into the kitchen.The food was delicious. Everything we had was enjoyed immensely.We were lucky enough to get the midweek deal - £35 (2people) for 2 courses and a glass of wine each. Whatâs not to like!

Three of us visited this restaurant 17th July. Previously a party of our family dined at this location and the food was good but today the food was superb. Each of us had selections from fish to steak to duck with various selections of vegetables and likewise with pudding. All superb.
