Chequers Riverside in Coleraine

Ordered from here tonight from causeway eats, got a phone-call to say it would be an extra £5 for delivery on top of the £7.50 delivery fee already paid as the first time eating here we said we’ll pay it and see what it’s like! Big mistake, food was absolutely disgusting…..chicken kebab was awful, chicken wasn’t properly cooked, chips had been pre-cooked and cooked over again….pizza was cremated and sausages were cheap garbage and couldn’t be ate…..so after £30 odd quid later and still no supper, it’s was a first and def will be a last!

On arrival room wasn't ready.They were to leave a prepaid treat costing £15 a piece of dried chocolate cake.It was the dearest sweet I ever bought.When we arrived in room. As we looked out of our window in both window sills were dead flies and coffee table was filthy. Dressing table could have written your name on it . Toilet lid cracked. Empty shower gel jar left in shower. General room felt dirty. But room was spacious. The last time we stayed here we were in a smaller room but was clean. We told a member of staff and they did go up and cleaned it.To make our experience worse they told on arrival that the pool was closed too health and safety.

I ordered the chicken supreme which came with a ‘block’ of dauphinois potatoes, broccoli, gravy and 2 very small pieces of chicken. It was accompanied by a purée of carrot with a hint of star anise (baby food). It was possibly the worse meal I’ve ever had. What were they thinking? £19 later. The dinner is in the bin and I shall never eat in there again.

Waited an hour for meals to arrive. The meal was not as hot as we would have liked. Yorkshire pudding over cooked, when cut into, it disintegrated. Service could be better, very little interaction. We ate because we were hungry and didn't want to have to wait any longer. To be fair the setting is wonderful, very clean and prices very reasonable. Disappointed.

Our first time trying this restaurant. Excellent food and nice efficient staff. Probably best meal we have had in a long time. Well done to the chefs. Food was hot too and nice fresh salad leaves with starter !! Thoroughly recommend
