Curran's Bar in Down

Went for lunch yesterday specifically for seafood - only carvery available initially but very friendly chef/staff sorted out mussels etc for my Brother-in-law who loves his fish etc. Me and my sister had the cod and chips - large portion beautiful batter, All at a very reasonable price.

Unfortunately, we did not thoroughly check our bill before departing only to discover we were billed for chicken strips which were not part of our order. So our advice is to all future customers is to carefully check their bills before paying.The food and service was good enough but this ruined the experience in which is admittedly a challenging time for eateries.

Went tue night Prawn cocktail an garlic mushs for starters excellent Veg curry Rump steak with all the trimmings Would definitely recommend Staff really helpful nothing too much Trouble Will be back soon

My wife and I took the long way from Downpatrick to Strangford intending to eat at Ardglass golf club. It was mid afternoon and the golf club was crowded so fortunately we decided to move on to Curran’s. We had eaten here before so were very happy to call again and it was terrific. The smiling and pleasant young waitress showed us to a table where the parasol shaded us from the glorious sunshine. My wife had the honey chilli chicken (starter) while I had the seafood chowder(main). Both meals were lovely and the service was discreet and attentive.

We stopped of for something to eat after playing golf at Ardglass.Stephen really looked after us from the moment we got there til the minute we left.14 of us ate and every single plate was well received, I had the cod and chips and I must say this was genuinely the best fish and chips I've had in a long time.I would definitely recommend Currans and we will return when we come back next year.

This place is great. We travel from Belfast for the food and its a nice place to drive to. We have tried a lot of things and it's all lovely. We have been 4 times this month alone

My wife and myself were directed here to eat whilst staying at the nearby Burford Lodge. We were warmly recieved and shown to our table. We did not book in advance an I have to say that I was a little apprehensive when we arrived and found the place almost empty at 6 o clock on a Friday night. The menu and the service were excellent and our drinks ( 2 pints of guinness ) arrived without delay.We had starters and I ordered Steak & my wife ordered Lasagne for mains. The food came within about 15 minutes and was absolutly great. Whilst waiting for our order I quickly realised that my worries about numbers present was completely unfounded as when our meal arrived about 20 more people had arrived. There is little choice of places to eat in the area an in my opinion prices were fair and we got value for money. We enjoyed our meal and would definitely return to "Currans" when next in the area.

Myself and my partner bought a groupon deal, two steak dinners for £23.50. We did not know what to expect. I can seriously say it was one of the nicest steaks we ever had. The service from the waitress and the guy serving behind the bar was fantastic. Very welcoming and friendly. We will be back very soon.

A cosy bar/restaurant with a nice atmosphere. The member of staff who served us was very pleasant and the food was good. We look forward to a return visit.

A really pleasant and chilled Sunday evening dinner with my family. The steaks and seafood were fabulous and so tasty. Good home cooking. Highly recommend

great setting, nice and peaceful, food is fantastic and a great barman called Paddy. there.Food is fantastic and plenty of choices on the menu.

Had a lovely meal with family..The main restaurant wasn't open but we still had enough room in the bar ..though they did offer to open it for us .We had a little time to wait but it was well worth waiting for . Homely place with very friendly staff

We went yesterday a large group, they served the children then we all went for carvery the food was lovely couldn't fault it. Service was excellent also

Attended today for my Mothers 70th Birthday. We were met and seated by our waiter Stephen. He performed his role well enough. However that's where the good times end. For starters we had 2 seafood chowders and the soup of the day, which was a veg broth. The seafood Chowder was the highlight of the meal overall. It was not going to be winning awards but it was quite good. Seemed a bit weird to serve it with a quarter ciabatta rather than wheaten but whatever. The veg broth would however get you beaten in many an Irish household it was extremely watery and lacked body. The mains....oh dear the mains. They were bad, really bad. Start with the best of them the Cod. Portion size was quite impressive actually, however it wasn't good it suffered from the same problem the rest of the dishes to come did. Cheap nasty oil leaving a poor aftertaste. When my father who could wash down his half ton of salt with a gallon of oil mentions the food being very greasy....there is a problem. Mothers scampi looked quite good, it still suffered the oil issue but it looked the part....until you cracked open the batter to find small prawns strugglng to kill half the batter. Mine though, mine was by far the worst. I ordered the seabass...what was presented was a disgusting embarrassment to local seafood. The seabass had barely any crisp to the skin, it was mushy, and it needed returned before Shell got a mining rig installed on the plate. Quite literally could have poured at least a quarter maybe half pint of oil off that plate. So that was returned. Here's where you weren't perfect Stephen you didn't actually apologise for the insult the Chef had sent me you did however return it and didn't put it on the bill so kudos. So i got the scampi as replacement wouldn't be perfect but looked a lot better.... unfortunately given it was the result of returning something the kitchen felt they had to rush....and bam here's your scampi with some delicious under-cooked batter just the way nobody likes it. Needless to say deserts weren't sampled unless you count a bottle of pepto when we got home. Really a shame...such close access to lovely fresh seafood and yet you have a Chef that simply doesn't care. Not that from responses to negative reviews on here I can see Management doesn't really care either as they don't actually make sense as responses. To help you out before you copy paste it....i am not confused, nothing needs explained better. You just need a Chef that gives a crap.

Recently had a family meal in Currans and it was perfect. The staff are friendly and food was delicious. My recommendation is the curry and the seafood chowder is really yummy too. After our meal we sat outside to have drinks. there is ample place outside to sit and enjoy the summer weather and the children can enjoys curran's play area. Stephen is always friendly and attentive on each visit, as are the other staff in Currans. Looking forward to a return visit soon

1st time to visit currans for food wasnt disappointed food was beautiful and portions were plentiful

Was here with a small group. The bar itself is lovely. It was quite quiet for a Saturday night but the weather was bad. Had the fish curry and shared the mini seafood platter (which was plenty for 2 people with a portion of chips). Food was really nice. Staff were very helpful. Will definitely return.

Last minute decision to go out for dinner. Phoned ahead to check if it was ok to bring our dog with us. Absolutely no problem was the reply. Arrived and were seated quickly in lovely surroundings. Turned out it was steak night..... result! 3 really nicely cooked sirloins with all the trimmings and a Cod and chips had us very happy indeed. V friendly barman / waiter. Will be back again. See they do a curry night too. Highly recommended

Best restaurant we've been to in years. Staff very friendly, the place was spotless. And the food....it was for hero's. Hats off to the chef and their staff, it was beautiful. Thanks

For all seafood lovers this place is like heaven!

Booked there Tuesday night steak deal for two and wasn't disappointed. The steaks were excellent and so was the service. It's certainly worth a visit.

My partner and I ate here yesterday evening. It was very quiet probably due to the bad weather. The food was well cooked - steaks cooked as we requested with all the trimmings. Service was excellent - the waiter was helpful and very pleasant and the food was served within a short time. The Tuesday night deal of 2 rumps for £20 is very reasonable and great quality. We have eaten here before and haven’t been disappointed. So a big thank you to all concerned and we look forward to returning soon. Next time for the Thursday night 3 Curries deal. Looking forward to it.

We had a beautiful and very generous steak lunch today. The meat was excellent and cooked as we asked and the chips were delicious. The service was excellent, the young man who looked after us was very friendly, he even welcomed out little schnauzer into the bar area. We were prepared to sit outside as we didn’t know it was pet friendly. I shall be recommending it to all the fur baby mums and dads in Minature Schnauzers in n.i., they are always looking for pet friendly places to eat. This was my 2 nd visit and I shall return!

Booked table for mother’s Day and was very disappointed with the service. Artrived d on time for booking and it took 50 minutes from order was taken for dinner to be served while family of 8 came in after us and they were served first. My husband and son ordered battered cod and there was very little fish in the batter. Batter was also very greasy. Daughter also lifted sachets of brown sauce and was on dinner when realised was out of date by almost 2 years. They were dated 2017. I told young girl when she came to clear table and she just shrugged her shoulders. Also very expensive for pub grub.

My partner and I ate here this evening. It was very busy for a Tuesday evening with lots of families but we were quickly seated in a nice quiet area. The food was lovely - we both agreed we had the best steaks we have had in a very long time. When we paid the bill we were told it was busier than expected , some of the staff were at a restaurant award ceremony and - the waitress who served us - it was her first day working there. Well to be honest - we wouldn’t have known . Our waitress was very professional and helpful and service was first class. So a big thank you to all concerned and we look forward to returning soon.

This little restaurant was a lovely surprise.I hadn’t heard of it until friends invited me to join them for a meal. The food was lovely. I had starter of Chicken liver pate followed by trio of seafood, cod salmon and sea bass. Very enjoyable, will definitely return

Enjoyed my dinner so much. We had chowder, steaks and chips. Chowder outstanding. Every mouthful of main course was lovely. Best chips I have ever had, home cut. Wish I lived closer and I could go more regularly!

We arrived for Sunday carvery and decided to order chicken strips of starters 2 per plate and looked and tasted like asdas finest frozen strips, the carvery was lacking, cold old potatoes mixed with new warm ones, no Yorkshire puddings, stuffing tasted like the stuff you get from the shop in a bag, my wife also found a hair in her potatoes and got a new plate nothing said to chefs and potatoes left out without being checked and this was after we complained to the waitress. We then paid our bill in full.

Visited Curran’s on many occasions. Seriously let down by service. 1hour 59minutes before we got served. Ridiculous. Stephen the manager apologised and gave us a £25 voucher. Decided to go back a few days later and all was fine. Returned in early September to fall for the apologetic patter and sat for 1hour 20minutes without food. Decided it was time to depart. Before leaving Stephen was comforted. Decided to let him know my thoughts....... it didn’t sit well and he was apologetic about poor service once again just like past experience ever after reassurance as on previous occasions. Really very Sad to see Curran’s fall to this level as we use to love going there. Paid our drinks bill and decided to go. Other customers decided to do the same. Unfortunately and after many very pleasant times there we’ve decided never to return. Aldo’s took us at short notice and what a pleasure it turned out to be. We now been there and love every visit. Check ot Aldo’s before you ever consider Curran’s - you’ll not be disappointed.

we would like to say a big thank you to Currans bar for going above & beyond and making our wedding day so perfect. the food was amazing and the fantastic staff couldn't have done anymore to help us. we would reccomend anyone getting married to go to Currans bar ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We popped in for lunch and overall we were pleased . Pleasant surroundings , friendly service and good food . With a few tweaks this could be even better .

Great little spot in the country. Could be a really decent wee Irish place with big fires, good food and local charm. Unfortunately the food is basic, tons of fried stuff and sloppy presentation. Good portion sizes but basic and greasy. Place needs a good clean and a revamp of the menu. Prices are normal but food doesn’t justify it. Food has stagnated, if all your awards are from 2012 you have a problem. Too much local competition in ardglass or strangford to go back. Clean the place up a bit and get better food coming out. The kind of place that you wish was great but it just isn’t :(

Great food, great service. Excellent all round. Best steak around. Some great offers as well on Groupon.

We’ve been here a few times in the past, but not recently. I had seafood chowder and a pint of Guinness. The quality was very good as in the past and the service was excellent. It was great to see the high standard has been maintained.

Staff went out of there way to serve us. We were using a groupon deal the food was excellent. The pub was not to busy. The dish was fantastic with a mixture of fresh fish.

This is another of those out of the way places but it is well worth finding. i have driven past it for years but not find it not only a welcoming watering hole but a fine dining spot and a very good carvery, although my wife for the second time has gone for an Indian curry which is also out of this world......

Used to quite good but really poor now. I took my wife and two friends from New York and came away feeling ripped off. I have to say my meal must have cost about £4.00 to prepare. I had monk fish which to me looked and tasted like four fish fingers in a sauce with a few bit of Parma ham on top.

We arent often down this way, but stopped here this evening for dinner-I had chicken breast and dijon sauce with roast potatoes and my partner had a burger- I sampled some of that too- both were delicious, cooked perfectly and very tasty- and fast , friendly service by Paddy, this is a great spot

Had lunch with a friend there last week . The exterior of property looks good but the inside is dated and so gloomy . Very small portions despite asking for main s. The seafood chowder was tasteless as was the mussels. It was expensive and not worth it .We left hungry and disappointed . The only positive was the friendly waitress !

We were all alone in Currans on a Friday lunchtime - it is incredibly gloomy, decor looking rather tired, appalling piped music. Waiter was helpful and food was adequate average pub style but I would not recommend a visit.

I have been to currans bar and restaurant a good few times and have never been disappointed. They contain a great selection of food and drinks. The staff are friendly and are very attentive.

Los misterios del GPS, que te conducen por carreteras que sólo conocen los tractoristas, nos llevaron ante la misma puerta de este Gastro Pub. Oscuro como todos, pero en su lóbrega cocina escondiendo platos de primera calidad; sencillos, carne y pescado, marisco también, pero cocinado con gusto y sin pasarse de precio. Tras la barra, una atención estupenda y unos buenos consejos para moverse en la zona. Inolvidable.

good service friendly staff. good food. right beside the dock at Ardglass. nice atmosphere .Fresh fish every day .

We had an excellent lunch here. Very fast and friendly service, nice atmosphere and great food. Loved the seafood platter, especially the chowder.

Visited Currans for family meal . Lovely establishment plenty of outdoor space and park for kids. What lets it down is the service seriously bad staff were friendly and polite just not enough of them .Food was ok seafood chowder and mussles fantastic .

My family and I visited here for a meal and we all enjoyed it, the food was absolutely lovely.

We have come here from belfast on several occasions and love it. We usually get the lasagne as it's one of the best we have had and again it was great. My partner for the chicken strips for a change but she wasn't impressed with them so wouldn't recommend that. Everyone else was nice.

Awful ,Minnie prawns called scampi greasy ++++ needed Zantac after but lovely staff ,sticky toffee pudding did help lol

Called in to Curran’s today for lunch with family. Absolutely brilliant. Seafood chowder was the best I’ve tasted and the chicken curry was gorgeous. Clearly prepared by someone with an intimate knowledge of spices. Service was really friendly and helpful and the price was reasonable for what we had. The kids play area outside went down really well with our son who made a few new friends. All in all a cracking experience. Couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

We were on holidays from a Australia ,visiting relatives, and they all suggested we try Curran’s. We were really pleasantly surprised. The food was excellent to the point we went back twice.

Because our first choice was closed on the night we visited we chose Curran's and had alovely meal but as it is not in Ardglass, a two mile drive away, my husband had to make do with a soft drink. Not ideal for a romantic night out.

We arrived in Ardglass Marina on our boats and enquired about the best place to eat. Everyone recommended Curran's. After a phone call the owner picked us up in his car and brought us to the restaurant. After a magnificent meal he brought us back to the Marina. Food was reasonably priced and delicious.

A great experience - just came across this restaurant by chance. We glad we did. My wife and I shared the delicious seafood platter. Extensive range of fish which we thoroughly enjoyed. Service just right too.

We have dined here on several occasions and have never been disappointed with either the quality of food or the friendliness of the great staff. We have had lunch, and also been for dinner ~ sometimes the bar / restaurant was very busy with maybe A N Other function happening, nevertheless, our order came in an acceptable time scale and always piping hot ~ no complaints here! We hope to be going for a meal again either this week or next, - 'tis well worth making the trip from Belfast for such excellent, all-round, quality.

Thanks to Stephen for his warm welcome and for a great night. The food was great. Great music and lovely outside space to enjoy the great weather

We stayed in Ardglass for our friends wedding an descended on Curran's Bar the day after, to reminisce and in true Irish style, keep the party going. Curran's bar came very highly recommended by the all of the locals we spoke to and it did not disappoint. Great selection of drinks, brilliant food, and everyone we met in Ardglass was friendly and extremely welcoming. To top it off after seeing us wait for a considerable amount of time for a car to take us back into town, the Bar manager jumped in his car, pulled up and asked if we needed a lift, proceeding to happily take my 3 companions and I to the next pub. Absolutely incredible customer service and something none of us had ever experienced before. Couldn't recommend highly enough and very much looking forward to a return trip.

Called for lunch and had a very good experience. The barman was excellent and looked after us really well. Started with chilli chicken salad and opted for smoked haddock which was very good. Wife had turkey and ham which was delicious. Good selection on the lunch menu and reasonably priced. Didn't have to wait too long for food and enjoyed it when it arrived! Haven't been disappointed on any visits to this bar/restaurant and there was a steady flow of customers.

Called in here today for lunch. My OH had fish curry which was more like a fish soup. I opted for chilli chicken wrap. They didn’t have any wraps - you would have thought that with a busy bank holiday coming up they would have ensured they had wraps in but it was served on ciabatta bread. Was just ok but in all fairness the server did make this clear to me upon ordering and since I didnt fancy anything else on the specials menu just went with it. Loud canned music playing everywhere - no escape from it whether u wanted it or not. Overall very average for what we paid. Won’t be back.

A family member brought the rest of the family here after a day out, as she loves it.

After arriving in the new Aires in Ardglass we were given discount vouchers for this restaurant but the distance of two miles walk along a road with no footpath was of a concern for us, this was not to be a problem as a very kind member of staff offered to come and collect us and leave us back. Upon taking up this offer we were not to be disappointed as we were taken to an establishment where we were served an excellent meal and the seafood chowder starter was one of the best,full of large chunks of fresh fish.

Called late Monday afternoon for a meal after golf at Ardglass. Very disappointing meal.Chowder starter was noticeable by the lack of seafood in it.Order ribeye steak,but advised subsequently that it was not available.Settled for sirloin, very ordinary and friends rump steak was equally poor as was the chicken curry of another friend.

Best bar and best restaurant in County Down. Delicious food, great atmosphere and lovely staff and service. First class!

Visited the restaurant while on a Game of Thrones tour. The food was well cooked and enjoyable. I left my scarf behind which has sentimental value (I live in Northumberland). I contacted Currans and they very kindly posted it back to me. Many thanks for that! I would recommend a visit.

Super friendly people, great food and service. Great conversation with locals and accommodating staff who graciously fed us despite the kitchen being recently closed. We’d visit again!

Tried the Sunday carvery with my wife. The food was very fresh and delicious. Staff were extremely attentive and efficient. We were both very pleased. Will return soon to try their a la carter menu especially the seafood dishes.

Went here with my partner with a groupon voucher valid for two steak meals. Starters weren’t included, so we paid the extra and ordered a portion of chicken goujons each. They were cheap frozen spicy goujons; three each and drizzled in sweet chilli sauce (not served with dips). They cost £5.95 and I was amazed at the audacity of the bar charging this much for so little and such poor quality food.

Been to this fantastic carvery 3 Sundays in a row. Staff could not do enough to make each dining experience better than the last. Food was to the usual high standard. After the meal in the restaurant its good to go into the bar as the craic is always good and locals and visitors are all made to feel welcome. Stephen and Paddy great hosts. We will be back.

It was quiet and we got a seat beside the fire place, which was a welcome relief during the cold winter weather.

Been several times to Curran’s. It is a great family friendly bar/restaurant. The food is lovely. Burgers are always tasty, the Sunday carvery is spot on and fantastic value. Always a good meal and the Guinness is perfect.

I visited Currans restaurant with my mother and father. On arrival the staff were very friendly and the place had a great atmosphere. Food was delicious - steak sandwich to die for. Will definitely be back.

Called in after a recommendation from a friend and wasn’t disappointed, there was a burns night menu on and the food was excellent. Will definitely be back

We visited Currans on Sunday 28th January for lunch and we decided to take the Carvery which isn’t really a Carvery as you must order your starter and dessert from the menu but you go up to an area designated as a carvery to get your main course.

Curran's is a lovely place with a nice atmosphere. Food excellent. Staff pleasant and well mannered but could improve customer experience by working on attentiveness. On entering the establishment staff did not make eye contact or greet us. After a few moments a member of staff behind the bar asked us if we would like a table for two. She showed us to a table and asked if it was OK but then added, 'It is the only table for two we have.' This indicated we had no choice in the matter. This was the first time we had visited the establishment and thus were not familiar with the menu. I ordered coffee but was not offered a choice. I learned later a choice was available and had been offered a choice would have ordered a different coffee. We wanted a quick lunch and I had two starters - soup and mackerel pate - both were lovely but the wheaten bread is not what I would describe as a generous portion. No one visited our table whilst we were eating or when we had finished, and I would have liked more coffee and a dessert. I took a dessert menu from a table nearby. There was one other table occupied at this stage and one member of staff on the floor clearing tables.

Visited with daughter using a Groupon voucher. Choice was steak or Bass, we both had steak with friend onion rings, chips and salad. Steak was very tender and large enough. The fries were crisp, and the service helpful and good. Finished off with Pavlova. Bargain aktogether

First time at this wonderful restaurant/bar. I had the steak and my wife had the fish medley. Both meals were cooked to perfection and ample portions. Surroundings were cosy and staff and customers very friendly. Guinness was smooth and creamy, jusy how i like it. Thanks Michael (manager), we had a nice night out and will be back.

Out for a drive today and came across Curran's. My wife and I both had the carvery and thought it was lovely. Plenty to eat and very tasty. The atmosphere in the restaurant was nice a cosy and the staff were very helpful and polite. We'd definitely go back again if we were in the area.

Went to Currans for Sunday lunch , was given friendly welcome at door. Carvary was on when we arrived but we were looking something different so we're given main menu . Choice was good . My husband is gluten free and they were able to accommodate him. Food was beautiful,tasty and hot .

Visited Curran's with my wife to sample the Christmas menu. The venue had a warming ambience and this coupled with friendly welcoming staff served to enhance our experience. Excellent varied menu and great value with 2 or 3 course options. The food superb, the only regret being it was almost impossible to choose between the available menu options. My solution re-book for next week and possibly the week after again.

I recently visited this restaurant with my dad on a Saturday afternoon we used a Groupon I had the steak and my dad had the seafood medley both tasted fab! Staff were lovely can’t wait to return!

Went for lunch twice in September. Fish and Chips were impressive. Light batter and stunningly fresh fish coupled with excellent customer service make this place a real gem. I had been some time ago for Sunday lunch which was average then but can't comment on this recently. The staff are from Kerala in Southern India and they know a thing or two about customer service. Their approach and their good manners are excellent.

I was here today with my partner and family. The food was fantastic and service impeccable. There is a great vibe in the bar as everyone is friendly. Well worth the 10 minutes from Downpatrick to get great food. Best restaurant in the area. I would recommend the Cod or steak sandwich

Spent here the first night of our small vacation in Northern Ireland.the food was great (their chowder is to die for!) and the staff is very nice!

Meal for 4.My wife and I had the so described, seafood medley.Only 2 choices - steak or seafood medleyOnly 2 different fish types on plate - medley?the edges of the flat fish were hard and had to be chewed or left uneaten.the fish itself was dry, overcooked and tasteless.the larger green veg was tough to eatthe creamed potatoes were lukewarm.stella beer was verging on flat and served in other brewers pint glassesHeard before hand it was not a great place to dine - proved rightmost definitely will not be back here.pros.staff helpful and friendly. cosy restaurant.our company had the rump steak - appeared well enough pleased with their meal.

I took my son for meal on the way to an event in Downpatrick. We were a bit pushed for time so both quickly settled on scampi, recommended by my wife on our previous visit. The batter was brilliantly dry and crispy, not at all like the greasy scampi you get in some places. The fish tasted really fresh. Unfortunately we hadn't time for starters or desserts and just settled for a couple of quick coffees to finish. The Guinness is as good as ever, though I caused a few raised eyebrows and received a bit of banter from the barman and a few of the regulars when, for reasons I won't go into here, I asked for it as a shandy. All good crack and a great meal. Highly recommended and we'll definitely be back.

This is a great place for a meal. Really good seafood chowder and the fish platter was excellent. All washed down by a pint of Guinness - what more do you want? A great lunch and well worth a visit.

Outstanding welcome and food. Varied menu. Can thoroughly recommend seafood platter, although all is wonderful.

We walked along the coastal path on the Lecale Way from Killard towards Ardglass. It took about two hours 30 minutes to get to Chapeltown, just in time for lunch. It was Monday and there were few other diners and we were made welcome and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere.

The place was packed and we waited for a suitable table so we all chilled and had drinks at the superb bar with a fantastic selection of beers and wines .We all had steaks with all the trimmings and it was first class . The staff can't do enough for you always very attentive to every or any need .. with such a busy place our meals lived up to the famous Currans hospitality . You can please some people sometimes but you can't please all the people all the time !! Well you guys definitely done that. Everyone around us all seemed really impressed , so we will all be back soon .. keep up the great work guys ..#Currans .

Called on the off chance, thinking we mightn't be able to get in as it had been so busy the last few we had been which a number of years ago. We were the only ones there for most of the meal, another 2 tables came later. Bar seemed busy but no atmosphere in restaurant. I had the cod which was v good but another of our party had chicken goujons . These were far from homemade , def cheap frozen version. Overall it was expensive for the what we got and v disappointing considering the quality that used to be served.

We visited here a few weeks ago, pre- booked for the Sunday carvery (6 of us), we arrived in good time but our table wasn't ready, we had to wait for about 30 minutes. When we finally got seated the waiter told us there was only pork left on the Carvery, some creamed potatoes and some veg. One of our party said she didn't eat pork so could she just have a pan fried chicken breast and she would just take the potatoes/veg from the Carvery. 2 minutes later the waiter said that the chef could put on some turkey for us but only had enough for about 2-3 people. We agreed and we told the waiter not to bother with the chicken and some would take pork, the others would take turkey. The meal itself was just average, potatoes had been sitting a while and the veg has been out too long too, it was certainly hot but there was just no choice, it was all gone. The pork was chewy and the turkey was just ok. Whilst having deserts another waiter set down a pan fried chicken breast and all the trimmings – which we cancelled when the pervious waiter told us the chef could put out some turkey – so it was returned and we explained that this was previously cancelled by the other waiter. When the bill arrived they had charged us for the pan fried chicken breast dinner. This was the first time we visited Currans and we done so on hearing how great it was. I understand it was busy but we did specify on making the booking that we wanted to have the carvery, the waiter did suggested we order from the main menu but we went there for a Sunday roast dinner. On paying they did remove the pan fried chicken from the bill but we paid the full carvery price for a very sub-standard dinner, with a real deal-to-do just to get it. I don’t think I would go back there, we weren’t offered any discount and the guy on the till said he was sorry for the wait at the start and not having any food, never offered to reduce the bill in any way! We aren’t ones for complaining and this visit certainly warranted a complaint but we didn’t want to make a fuss and we needed to get home as we’d been there so long with all the hold-ups.

This restaurant was recommended by the guest house where we were staying. The atmosphere was warm and friendly and the food was very good quality. We had an odd combination of the mussels for starter - they were excellent - and we had a curry as the main course - again excellent.What really impressed us was that we were given a voucher at the guest house and mentioned this when ordering. When we went to pay we had forgotten about the voucher but the staff hadn't - and hey asked for it so they could reduce the bill - wow!

Visited Tuesday 30th May 2017. This is a pleasant place with a lovely homely atmosphere, just outside the village of Ardglass. The food was good quality. I had the mussels for starter and a steak for main. The steak was excellent in taste and tenderness. My partner had Chowder and Pasta. We both left completely stuffed and completely satisfied with what we had. Will visit again when in the area.

Called in while touring around. Cute character bar with wood burner. Attentive staff served a delicious seafood chowder, plenty of fish and what was described as small was plenty.

I've eaten here on a number of occasions over the past 5 years but was too dissappointed last time (Feb 2017) to return again.Our side orders were cold but we were very hungry and it was a celebration party with guests that didn't like to complain so we let it go. The staff are lovely and the place has a nice atmosphere but the food is just too expensive for the quality that is produced and not everything on the menu is 'fresh'.

Great service, good food, I'd advise having steak as this seems to be their speciality. The restaurant is fantastic for families with an outside play area and cosy, welcoming interior.

We stopped here on our 2nd day of Game of Thrones tours for lunch. Really good lunch and a Guinness or two later and I was ready for a nap. Inside looks cool and I would definitely return if I'm ever in the area again.

Friendly restuarant in an ideallic setting only had a drink and checked it out for future reference the meals looked fab and the style was oldie worldie with a parlour and everything will keep y posted as I do intend to return soon to this family child friendly little gem

Went to Currans with a Groupon Voucher BUT had printed out wrong part and we instead had a lovely lunch, Son had chicken with veg and garlic potatoes, Hubby had Chicken Pie with veg and chips, I was been very good and only had a starter pf seafood cocktail with weaten break. All agreed that there was plenty to eat and were impressed. The young Indian lad that served us was great and couldn't do enough to make us welcome. He also informed us that we could stay overnite in the carpark if having a drink or meal which we will diffo do

We've eatten in Curran's many times, the Sunday carvery has a great choice with a good helping. We ate Groupon meals which were great value for money both fish and steak choice were great value. We've also had dinner on Saturday night followed by lively music and entertainment in the bar. Good location and value for money

Great food and service-surprised to discover that 2 lime & sodas cost £8. Queried this with the manager and was told that's just the way it is. A shame really as won't be returning again.
