Bennetts in Craigavon

Great food, great service, great prices and great artwork. Really enjoyable lunch and dessert.

£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 🙄😂

Food, staff, place lovely, helpful & clean

A lovely pub for food and a few quiet drinks from 3 to 6pm on a Wed afternoon, highly recommended.

Food was good. Depending on where you're seated, it can be quite dark. Was interesting trying to find food on my plate.

Bennetts food and service good. A lovely place for lunch with friends.

Just shared a bottle of wine on a quiet Monday afternoon. We didn't have any food this time but on previous visits the food was delicious 😋

Great atmosphere for a small group larger groups are more difficult. Staff are friendly and service is quick. Live music is always at least decent so are even really great

Food lovey as always, staff very friendly and helpful with recommendations of the specials which were a lovely change from the normal.

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.

Limited menu but all good food.

Had the stacked chicken and the pepper sauce was probably the best I've ever had

Reserved a table but was late sitting and had to leave early due to staff. Very bad attitude, do not go here.

Great menu and service. Delicious food. Friendly staff. Overall great place

I just stopped in for drinks. The place looks great and the staff were friendly.

My daughter and I had lunch here on Friday, everything was beautiful, service was fast, very pleasant staff, surroundings very clean and comfortable. If in portadown again will eat here again.

Friendly staff lovely atmosphere

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.

standard food selection Some of the products are horribly overpriced for the later event entry should be free since for one small beer at the bar you pay at least 5 pounds and you will definitely order a lot of them casual bar there are no revelations

Very good food and friendly service

Decent atmosphere/live music, not cheap pint price

Standard food and an expensive pint. Nice decor.

Not much of a selection, ordered the chicken stack, no veg at all. Did have much flavour

Good vibes on a Saturday night. A bit cramped though, but that's to be expected.

Wouldn't let my husband in after Leaving to change our clothes after being guests of the hotel. Ps just because you stay in the hotel doesn't mean you get in. He had a few drinks and wasn't aloud in. Bouncers couldn't give a reason for why he wasn't aloud in just not tonight!!! Avoid Hotel 🏨 😎 xx I

Very well decorated. Great lunch menu and good service. Highly recommended

Friendly, clean and very smart. Exactly how a bar should be. The gents do a superb job.

Bad bar, racist staff, don't let black people in and make up excuses to justify themselves. Bars like this should be closed forever and never reopen.

Gorgeous meal in a lovely setting. Friendly, helpful staff, lovely smoke area and clean loos

Fantastic pub. Better than in England to be fair. Love the music, great People, friendly staff and meeting friends and great drinks with good price. Definately coming back again when visit Northern Ireland!

Great pint of Guinness or sixteen! Good food, great service. Real nice spot. Been going here 30 years....

Lovely food friendly staff good services

Fantastic food and service. Will definitely be back

Great food, lovely people and fabulous service. I'd give 5 stars if there was more of a variety of vegetarian options. Apart from that, all good.

Great staff and service and the best pint of Stout in Portadown

Great service as I remember it from 10 years ago nothing changed and the guinness just as good as well

Cosy atmosphere and good food and service

Amazing food and staff, never disappoints.

Great pub .Good selection of beers and spirits nice atmosphere and decor. Friendly bar staff. :)

Great service and food was outstanding as usual

Lovely Christmas food. Staff very friendly and attentive.

The Staff were very friendly. For lunch time the menu was quite extensive. My wife had the Chicken Stack and I had the Chicken Goujons and both dishes were superb.

Great food, great service, reasonably priced

Been twice for lunch, what a lovely experience, staff friendly and very efficient. Food was great also their cocktails. Will definitely be back.

It had been a few years since I had visited for lunch. I remember the food being very good back then. Have to say they are still making delicious lunches. I will be back very soon. Pricing is as expected for pub grub.

Excellent service and good food highly recommend. Tony was very pleasant.

I had a lovely lunch staff are lovely

Always a relaxed atmosphere and professional friendly staff. Can't wait for live music to start again.

Beautiful and the staff veer friendly

Always fantastic food, and staff are so friendly and helpful. Love on my visits to Portadown to eat here

I've never had a bad meal here - really love going here for lunch and staff are so attentive. Food is always delicious and staff are really accomdating with walk-ins. Will be looking forward to going back soon!

Good place for groups. Pricey but keeps the chavs away. However this just attracts Deanos that scrub up nice to pretend they are something they are not occasionally. Is the go-to spot for people that peaked in high school it seems.

Great staff and brilliant food.. Highly recommend you pay a visit..😁👍

Returned to Bennetts for Xmas lunch, it never disappoints. Great food, staff I have known a lifetime. Keep up the good work guys in these difficult times. D,

Excellent service. Felt very comfortable in these difficult times

Staff very friendly food was delicious

Been for a few times for food and never been let down. Spent many evenings here. Great atmosphere for a pint or 7. Occasionally have live music which brings a good vibe.

Nice bar, great friendly staff, grub is OK too

Service great..staff so friendly .great atmosphere

Great service great food always

Good traditional food, friendly and helpful staff and pleasant surroundings. Town centre location, lots of car parking nearby.

Booked in for lunch on Saturday, place was busy, staff helpful and the food was delicious. The chicken curry should be tried as I will certainly get it again.

Booked the day before for lunch at 2PM the following day. Show up, no name, no reservation. Told they have bookings already for people with no table. Won't be back, poor service all round.

Not a friendly place. I was a regular customer for 11 years, emmigrated for 5 years, came back and was treated like a complete stranger. Sad given the fact that the owners are the same.

Great food and service. Highly recommend.

Great service, lovely menu and super food.

My favourite place when I wanna drink something with friends without much noise .. just the vibe of the pub

Beautiful surroundings. Great service and excellent lunchtime menu. Would definitely return for even meal.

Amazing place with some very friendly staff

Best eating place in Portadown. Thoroughly enjoyed lunch today & can recommend Bennents to everyone. Comfortable surroundings & staff so welcoming..

Absolutely love this pub. Love the atmosphere, prices and bar staff.

Cramped, overpriced and very immature staff, food is mediocre considering it's right beside the flaming grill why even sell food ?? Rubbish.

Went for christmas dinner with work ..lovely food great ambiance..great staff

Always a brilliant stop for lunch. Great food, friendly staff, great service and looking very festive this time of year. Will be back soon.

Great owners and staff.superb food

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". 😡

They are very racist , accepting only locals . Every time I tried to get in with my local friends they would tell me : Sorry only for regulars / locals

Atmosphere was lovely for a tuesday evening staff were very attentive

Atmosphere is elegant and nice. Food at lunch was brilliant. Personnel is always kind, there's also a pleasant outdoor area

Not a bad spot a bit dear customers a bit snobbery

Good good and good atmosphere and staff are very friendly

Very packed when busy. But great prices and friendly staff. And once the fun starts it doesn't stop on the dancefloor.

Fantastic four a couple of drinks or so...

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.

Customers are always assured of excellent service and great food.

The best lunch in Portadown, Lurgan or Craigavon. Chicken Strips are excellent. Great staff and very attentive. Tony and Niall are great owners.good crowd for drinks and not too packed. We've been going here for 15 years and will continue to do so.

Lovely place to go with you friends.
