£8.20 for a vodka coke can’t even give you a full glass. Asked for a bigger glass and said their not allowed to have to give the tiny ones how are you ment to mix with a glass smaller than your fist 🙄😂

Went in place empty apart from one other party of 4. Sat down greeted menu board of specials brought up and ordered to non alcoholic drinks. Came to take order v quickly weren’t ready no bother but alas bar filled up forgot to call back take our order for at least 20 mins passed asked for bill. Guy behind bar v rude and was doing nothing but chatting to 2 other female bar staff and totally dismissive when I said we will pay for our drinks since we’re still waiting on food order being taken. If I could give less than 1 star I would. Bennett’s customer service has changed big time!

Feel free to discredit this due to it being a while ago (kept forgetting to post this) Over the summertime me and my partner came in for a lunchtime feed and the tall girl serving us seemed a bit abrupt and standoffish. I ordered the Chilli con carne with rice and chips, got it before under the old management and was lovely. Food came out with no chips, didn't say anything thought she was bringing it out shortly due to her hands being full. 10 minutes later after passing us I asked her about them and she said no you don't get chips with it, despite the chalkboard that was out when we ordered saying with chips (funny it mysteriously dissappeared shortly before our food came out) and them posting the same lunchtime specials on Facebook that said it included chips but of course with the signal being so bad inside I couldn't pull that up to show her (I checked when I got home and it definitely said with chips incase you think I've got dementia lmao) Whole experience felt like it was personal? She was quite rude about it and neither of us had seen her before in our lives. I even stopped the lovely older gentleman you always see working here about it and he even confirmed it comes with chips and was just as confused and promised to sort me out with the chips next time I'm in but honestly I haven't been back since after seeing so many others have similar odd experiences etc. Hopefully this has changed since then but I've no clue. Was probably eating my chips in the back or something. Food wasn't as good as it was with the previous owners either sadly, I get places change hands but it's sad to see things like this happen with somewhere that you called in quite often.

Had a great night the other day there with my friend, decided to come back next weekend and for no reason at all security didn’t let us in. We were nicely dressed, sober and had our ID’s with us and the security just said no Twice and didn’t even bother explaining why we couldn’t come in. Both of us had never experienced this type of treatment and really ruined our night.

Nice enough for a quiet drink during the week, just remember to bring your wallet, it is very expensive especially for cocktails! About £9 a cocktail! They also reduced the cocktail menu quite a bit. (Miss the Appletini's, Zombie and Candyfloss Martini) Decent place for a quiet drink but not somewhere for a regular social drink due to prices.

Overall not a good experience. No record of our reservation. Waitress didn’t know the bar menu. Disorganised. One staff member was extremely rude and inappropriate when leaving. We were quite shocked at the behaviour. Food was very average, poor quality. Went a couple of months ago and it was much better. Coleslaw seemed store bought and cheap.

Definitely racism, they only let local people in, depends who is in charge. The manager was at the door tonight and he was letting in only the local people. Tried to go out with my friends from here and I had to go home while they got in. The reason was "only tonight, we will let only regulars in". But he was looking at people's ID's to see where they are from and then saying" oh sorry only regulars in tonight". 😡

FIRST TIME in Bennetts for a light lunch today with the domestic supervisor - and I,ll have to say the highlight of my week. I had one of the best veggie stir fries I,ve ever had; my wife had an absolutely delicious prawn open sandwich. Then a home made apple crumble was shared between us, all served by very friendly staff at a reasonable price. Now we,re looking for an excuse to go back to Portadown at lunch time ASAP. Denis Wilson

Went in with my wife, 3 year old and 1 year old for lunch around 1pm on Saturday 23rd November. Usually we have no issues with here or the sister business next door Bubba Drews but this time was shambles. Our food arrived with no cutlery on the table. Had to wait 5-10 mins before cutlery arrived. Our 1 year old was throwing a wobbler as he couldn't understand why there was food in front of him for 10 mins and we wernt feeding him. There was obviously no clean cutlery as we had watched a staff member clean someone else's dirty knives and forks in the sink beside the coffee machine for us. God knows if these were even cleaned right with hot water and soap. With no apology from the staff member for having to wait we received the knives and forks but no spoons for the kids dinners, had to ask a staff member for 2 spoons, we received 1..... then had to wait another couple of mins until a staff member showed up at the desk to ask for another spoon. By this point our food was cold. The food was average at best, we ordered a chicken pitta, beef buritto and a side of sweet potatoes fries. The meat on both was quite chewy and the whole dish lacked flavour. The sweet potatoe fried were also very soggy, felt like they were boiled and not fried. We had ordered drinks that never arrived also but at that stage I had lost the will to have to get up again to ask for them so I just left it and took the loss as you pre pay for food and drinks before you receive them. Noticed staff members running about with plates not knowing what table they were going to and asking tables was this their food. Very disorganised with no structure. I think I'll stick with Bubba Drews next door the next time as we have never had issues even though it's the same business.
