The service has got terribly slow in Docs since the renovation. You wait ages to be taken to a table, even though there are plenty of tables ready. Then the waiting game starts, wait again for order to be taken and the wait on food is at least 25 minutes. There were only two of us! Think either they are understaffed or it isn’t run as well as it used to.

Turned up at 11:30 so the breakfast menu was still on the go. They accomodated my daughter's need for gluten free food offering her bacon and eggs that she loved. I had a mini fry and it was just enough for me, I usually judge fry ups on the sausage quality and it was spot on. The waitress was lovely with my daughter. Would be back when back in Newcastle in future.

Docs is a lovely place to get a meal before heading to the beach, food is good and staff are friendly. Coming from dungannon, newcastle is a lovely place with lovely food places, and I assure you, docs is one of them, lovely and neat. Although if the restaurant is busy, don't expect your food to come too fast. I can tell this as we once came in March and the food was with us within 10 minutes but in July, we were waiting for 25 minutes and had to wait outside for about 10 minutes. But anyway its a good looking place, nice atmosphere, decent service. Nice place!

Sorry, but I was very disappointed today. Had been to Doc's back at Easter and had the best vegetarian burger so was really looking forward to having one today, but it's been taken off the menu ?? The only vegetarian dish was "lasagne" which was very disappointing, literally a bowl of vegetables in a tomato sauce covered in melted cheese, not a sheet of pasta in sight!

I have friends over from Norfolk wanted to take them somewhere nice for dinner! We went to doc's becuse we heard the scampi was delicious and I do love a good scampi!! But........ they didn't have any left!!!! So my friends both ordered fish n chips and I opted for a prawn and crab salad (starter) and a portion of fries!!! The meals came and I can honestly say they looked great especially mine!! But on tasting soooo dissapointing first it was supposed to come with mango..... NO mango..... It was supposed to be crab and prawn salad not crab stick and prawn salad........ (and the prawns were tough and over cooked) I did say to the waitress about it!! I might as well told the table for all the notice she took....... Also service was bad!! Waited 15 minutes for someone to take a drinks order then a wait for our order to be taken!!!!! Will I be back??? I doubt it very much!!!!!

For a "chippy" Docs is wonderful! Great decor, service is excellent, and the food is superb! They have Gluten Free fish, so make sure you ask for it, as it's not mentioned on the menu (they really need to promote this more including a huge poster in the window!) We use their Ardglass shop regularly, although they don't have GF facilities (please reconsider this!) and are always impressed by the quality. Their fish is clearly very fresh. Definitely be back.

Wife's fish and chips best she's had, while my Hangover was lovely. No complaints from teenagers clearing cheese and bacon burger and the other's chicken gougons. A choice of drinks for the grown ups topped it off. Will definitely be back when next in Newcastle.

Older man with grey hair and glasses presumably the manger had very poor customer service and appeared to be hostile towards the younger staff. Arrived at 11:40 and was told we had to wait until 12 before we could order from the non lunch menu. Fair enough. A drinks offer would have been nice during this wait. At 11:55 this man asked our order and when we placed this told us we had to wait until 12 again. Approach here was cold and dismissive. We had enquired with a lady from the takeaway counter where we were sat if we were ok to order from that menu opposed to the dine in menu and was told that woudlnt be a problem. After 12 when same man took our order he told us we can’t do this no could explain the price difference for the exact same menu item on the takeaway menu opposed to the dine in menu as it was the exact same item cooked in the exact same place. His attitude immediately put me off my food. Also got my friends order wrong and appeared very rude to his younger staff. Environment was hostile and also got the table beside us orders wrong. Absolutely won’t be back.

First time at Doc’s in Newcastle and it won’t be our last! We had a lovely warm welcome from the staff who were extremely friendly & helpful. We had starters of soup (sweet potato) & prawn cocktail and mains of lasagne and pan fried chicken supreme with garlic mash. The food served was hot & plentiful and everything was delicious and of excellent quality. Would highly recommend the prawn cocktail 😋 The wheaten bread served with the soup & prawn cocktail was the best we’ve ever had. Thank you to the chef that makes this, it’s amazing. All very reasonably priced too. You must can’t go wrong here. Thank you to everyone at Doc’s in Newcastle. We throughly enjoyed my birthday lunch & look forward to our next visit ❤️

£4.40 for a takeaway chip and £7.00 for a fish which is small and mostly all batter is a complete rip off. Pure greed. It costs £3.70 at McCanns for a chip which is a much larger portion and a way nicer fish. I know where my custom is going from now on.

Disappointed on this occasion tbh. Me my wife and son just left there after travelling from Belfast to lay flowers at family memorial site. Son got preference and called Docs as he enjoys the Hotdogs and chips, he's a plain eater say the least. I ordered Panko breadcrumbed fish and chips with side salad. My wife ordered the battered fish with chips and mushys. The fish came and initially I thought it was southern style panko but no it was just too over done. Breadcrumb too crispy, thin fish and no taste if it really. Chips and salad fine. Wifes Cod looked a lot thicker than mine but again the batter was dark and too over done, too brittle and hard. The fryer has took his eye off the ball on this occasion. Ragin tbh, was just after a walk and hungry, that's why the food was ate and not left. Sins hotdog was fine. The server was nice and probably assumed the food was 100% because we were hungry and didn't leave much. Left after paying £46 odds unsatisfied which I hate and also not tipping which we always do, unless the food is disappointing. My last review of Docs was 5 star and highly recommending after a Roast beef dinner, which was delicious. I will go back and give it another go over the holidays but might stick to roast dinner.

I was recently at docs with my friend and I was shocked by the way a member of staff was treated. I, along with I assume everyone else at the restaurant heard a member of staff who I could only assume would be the manager or the supervisor, yelling at another member of staff. I couldn’t get over what I had heard, it was absolutely shocking to say the least. I believe no member of staff should ever be treated that way, especially when other customers in the restaurant could hear, after this happened my friend and I felt very uncomfortable and we left shortly after and it’s safe to say that I will not be returning when members of staff are being treated this way and I hope for this employee and the rest of the staffs sake that this issue will be dealt with accordingly.

I was in not too long ago, just for what I thought would be a lovely meal. The food was good, however, I overheard (who I assume to be the restaurant manager or a supervisor) screaming at a staff member where customers can clearly hear. This is absolutely appalling behaviour and should not occur in a work place privately, or especially in front of customers. Whilst the food itself was good, I will not be returning as the way that man treated his staff members was vile. I’d like to think this will be dealt with accordingly with the man’s position in Doc’s Newcastle being terminated as staff should not have to be treated with such behaviour.

Booked a table for 6 o'clock Sun 15thOct. Seated immediately and then ignored for 15 to 20 mins whilst walk ins (3couples) were seated given a menu, offered a drink and served. To many kids serving , walking about aimlessly. No one seemed to be in charge. It was chaos. The food was good but the service was a joke.

The food is usually of a good standard, however the service needs improvement as it varies from visit to visit. I really like the mixed grill that Doc's do, but it's the thought of actually going and getting seated "quickly" that is always the issue. Like I said, it varies and the restaurant being busy is not a issue. I expect to be seated quickly and then served quickly. Not seen to a table and then having to ask for my order to be taken. Service needs to be on point!
