Rockmount Golf Club

Reviewed By MadDocNI

Rather slow service for early lunch function. Think there were only two waitresses.Pleasant enough staff, but they had difficulty coping with 29 in a party, though did so eventually.Some of the sandwiches decidedly odd, I unable to identify the filling - looked like roast beef, but seemed to be some sort of pickle/paste. Tea and coffee were okay.

Ashvale Farm Shop

Reviewed By Bobbikins

The first waitress, long dark hair and swarthy skin, came over and took the order which arrived promptly.I requested skimmed milk but semi skimmed arrived as apparently they don’t do skimmed milk! Pity the waitress didn’t know! My scrambled eggs were swimming in water and were so close to white they looked like porridge. The second waitress was so helpful and pleasant and took them away to remove the water. They returned just the same so the waitress offered to drain them herself. She obviously did her best but they still had water in them. Completely tasteless! However the other three meals were very good with no complaints.I watched the first waitress look at our empty plates and didn’t bother to clear the table, leaving it for the next available waitress. This same waitress sat and chatted with a customer while my friend stood waiting to order afternoon tea. She ignored my friend, let her stand about and only acknowledged her when I approached. Not much work in this woman and personality minus! Lucky the rest of the staff were lovely.Thank you for your feedback.We pride ourselves on the quality of our coffee. In order that the natural fats in milk are not burned during the process of heating/ frothing milk, it is imperative that only semi and full fat milk are used to ensure quality. We do this under the advise from the roastary from which our coffee beans are harvested and supplied. E.g. Skinny Latte (semi skimmed milk)Latte (Full fat) We apologise for the misunderstanding, but hope we have provided more clarity for you surrounding this issue. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your scrambled eggs. The next time you visit please make yourself known and we will aim to provide you with breakfast on the house.As for our waitresses, in order to ensure the smooth running of the tea room, each one, whilst perhaps unbeknownst to our customers is playing a different role. For example one will be responsible for orders, another for drinks and cutlery, another for clearing tables and so forth. Each one will endeavour to see to your needs within their role as quickly as possible.With regards to your final comments, as well as being a Tea Room, our business has a great number of patrons who become more than simply an order to us. it is not uncommon for our staff to briefly chat to such patrons, as a matter of fact, we feel it is an important part of their job. We trust that it is evident that we are a small family business who value a personable approach.Finally should you wish to book an Afternoon Tea this must be booked in advance by telephoning 02892638099 or by booking at the till area located near the entrance. Regards,Team Ashvale

The service and quality of food is excellent, the "fry" is highly recommended as are the scones and tray bakes.

We had a large business lunch here... the service was excellent despite the restaurant being very busy. Our food was served promptly and although we each had different meals, all were brought roughly at the same time and piping hot, very generous portions and totally delicious!After the main course we were all pretty full, but decided to go for the huge puddings... I would highly recommend the chocolate brownies 10 out of TEN!

Offered a discount off dinner as part of our stay at the Larchfield Estate - 10%.We were a group of 7 birding friends, 3 visiting from Preston, England.The craic was great, the food tremendous, catering well for a gluten-free member, & the service superb. The wine menu was good, with plenty of options; we had a wonderful Portuguese red.Overall everyone was thrilled with the venue, the food & the service. Nothing more to add, but we’re looking forward to dining here again.

Millbrook Lodge Hotel

Reviewed By fortyniners2017

Taken to the Gilmore restaurant for dinner on my birthday, we had a secluded table in a friendly atmosphere. The service was efficient and extremely attentive. We had an excellent meal. I can recommend the prawn cocktail starter; actually I can recommend everything about the meal! The outside lighting is very attractive too, best appreciated at night.

Cafe Rossi

Reviewed By JDUR26

Very affordable large fry, in friendly surroundings where it feels like everyone knows everyone.Great service with a smile and friendly conversation. Tables in booths are a bit far away from the seats for ultimate comfort but can be rectified I'm sure.The All Day Fry is what you want. 2 eggs on 2 big slices of soda, lovely thick potato bread, a crispy hash brown, delicious meaty tasting mushrooms, thick cut tomatoes and lovely smoked bacon. One gripe perhaps that bacon isnt a bit crisper but overall its very very well executed. You don't have to wait more than 6 or 7 minutes after ordering before your fry is with you and its all red hot and freshly cooked.If you're looking for a traditional Ulster fry, look no further than Cafe Rossi, the home of the best Ulster fry in County Down.

Primrose

Reviewed By Susiebax20

I recently had dinner in The Primrose with my family. From start to finish the staff were helpful, attentive and just a pleasure to deal with. The food was incredible. The prawn salad is a must try! Along with the desserts which were to die for! I’m just gutted I didn’t order a starter! my two daughters, who are super fussy eaters, thoroughly enjoyed their meals and the snowman ice cream desserts were a big hit. I can’t wait to go back and I have been telling everyone who will listen that this is an all round fantastic establishment. Prices were the cherry on the cake! Reflected the food nicely. Fantastic all, keep up the amazing all round great work! hopefully see you again soon.
