Saw the menus on their website & saw the pictures that they had posted & thought that this restaurant looked like the kind of place we would enjoy. What a disappointment! The menu was not what they advertised on their website, when we questioned the waiter about the menu he said that they hadn’t used that one for about 2 months. The presentation of our meals was most definitely not similar to the pictures on the website, the leeks must’ve flown over the leek & potato soup, would not recommend & we were very sorry we had taken our friends there & would most definitely not be back!!

One of the best places in Newcastle to eat! As a family we have booked multiple boxing day meals, a christening meal, confirmations birthdays and even just called in for sunday lunch and every time has been faultless! Most recently for afternoon tea. Paddy and the team at Golf links House are always so accommodating for any occasion always happy to help! The food is 10/10 always beautiful! I don’t think you could find a better place to dine!! Highly recommend

As usual the food was superb and the service excellent. Friendly but not familiar. Although they had a large party going on, there was no delay in the timing of our food delivery. Of particular mention is my husband's panfried salmon which was beautifully cooked with a crispy skin and served with delicious fresh vegetables and my friend's turkey and ham which would satisfy even the hungriest customer. My chicken and liver parfait was as smooth as silk and full of flavour with the onion marmalade adding an extra bite. Prices are very reasonable. The terrace at the front of the hotel is a perfect spot for al fresco lunch, smokers and the family pets The Golflinks is literally a home from home, a cozy, comfy family run hotel.

Total disaster arrived with 2 kids and 2 adults and was asked if we booked (there was 8 people in the whole place) I said no was that ok. It was so we sat in the bar area. 15 mins to get kids 2 apple juice and waiting 30 mins before -( after seeing another couple get served before us) get up and ask was there a problem as we had not ordered yet. The answer was “the chef told me the waiter to not take anymore orders as he was busy with the 8 covers”??? I had 2 kids 6 and 10 years old they won’t wait another 30 mins maybe 1 hour total so I said I’m sorry we need to leave. Being polite I asked if we owed for the 2 apple juice expecting a don’t worry about it but oh no £4.40 for 2 cartons of apple juice omg. Never ever again will we go there had to eat chips in the car up the road for dinner what a complete disaster beware of this place until they get staff it’s avoid avoid avoid from me.

Called in today after a previous very good Experience. Lunch was £10 per person, which is great Value. However, the Service was not good. One Gammon steak arrived out with a steak knife in it covered with a jam like Substance. As I was paying and when asked how the Meal was, I advised that I had left most of mine due to the standard and I mentioned the Knife to the "Server", he shrugged his Shoulders and asked what I wanted him to do...I simply replied to take a few pounds off the Bill, which included Drinks as we all make Mistakes. Nope. I know times are tough for everyone, and that includes us, which is why you want to spend and support Businesses where you can. Owner Input ? Do what you like !

As a family of 6 we came to the golf links for Christmas aafternoon tea today. Due to covid we hadn't been able to get together for over 2 years so was lovely to spend time with mum and the sisters. Well what can I say about the golf links, first on arrival we were greater by a real friendly member of staff who showed us to our table and brought us glasses of prosecco. The afternoon tea was unreal started by soup served in little te cups, then followed by an array of sandwiches, scones, cakes and buns which were all fantastic. We even had one sister who is gluten free and the selection she received was amazing see pictures below. She couldn't believe how much she had got and all very similar to the rest of us. The restaurant was very relaxed and the atmosphere was great the staff all helped in getting us into the Christmas spirit. The food was second to none and the price was very reasonable for everything we got. We will definitely be back very soon. If we weren't too rowdy for yous. Highly recommend you visit this place with family or friends. I only got pictures of the gluten free selection as the rest of us were to busy eating ours lol

Everytime we visit Newcastle, as a family we always call into the Golf Links. The staff are amazing with the kids, always putting smiles on their faces & guaranteed a good feed & not overpriced either.Sundays always a good day for lunch however sometimes if we're in the area on a Friday or Saturday night we'd call in for the grill menu. During a recent visit to my horror they've changed the grill menu, no mixed grill!! This was my favourite dish having eaten here many times, I'd asked the server who said they don't do it anymore.No doubt we will still return in the near future but would love to see my favourite dish back on the menu

I booked a surprise birthday Sunday lunch for my husband and his family. There were 9 adults and 3 kids in total, and everyone had a great experience. The food was excellent and very good value and the service was very friendly. The set menu was £15 for 2 courses and £17 for 3 which we thought was great value. I had the pork medallions for main course and I would order it again. My 18 yr old daughter is a pescatarian and can be hard to please but her sea bass with noodles more than pleased her. The 3 kids were the only ones who had deserts but wow they look amazing. Everyone texted me later to say what a lovely meal it was, so I felt the whole thing was a great success and we will definitely go there again as a family.

This restaurant is very well furnished, it's clean and warm, but seems to cater for a certain type of clientele........old people. There was a function in full swing as we arrived for lunch (Age Concern annual dinner dance) we were shown to a table away from the oldies and were swamped with well meaning and professional staff providing coffee, the offer of top up's and efficiency of order taking, care of our grandson and provision of our order in record time. However, the food was awful, my steak was overcooked and devoid of taste, the chicken overcooked, the sauce, goodness knows what it was, but it covered my meal and rendered it almost inedible. I ordered garlic potatoes and received potatoes that were soft and smothered in what tasted like margarine. My wife's salmon was better though the accompanying vegetables were overcooked. I didn't have the heart to complain given the staff's hard work to make us welcome. I hope the oldies enjoyed there function.

We dined here recently and after reading reviews expected a great experience... unfortunately was just ok. As we were staying overnight we went to restaurant in the afternoon and requested to book a particular table. On arrival at our booked time someone else was sitting there and I did say to the guy who greeted us who just said he didn't know about our booking and we had to pick another table, not a great start. We both went with the 3 course xmas menu sounded lovely.My meal was good but my other half who is diabetic not so great. He choose salmon and prawn starter, just about got a forkful of salmon and onions throughout the bit of salad served with it. He ordered beef done rare but instead received extremely well done beef.needless to say he did not eat it all, he asked for desert of just a wee bit of cheese, was told sorry only served grated cheese.... he was not given any further options. We did though receive a free coffee as way of apology but at this stage it really didn't matter as our experience had not been great. I will say though that the guys serving were lovely absolutely no reflection on them . Would we eat there again sorry but no, customer satisfaction is so important and on this occasion it did not work.

Went to the Golf Links as part of a large family group - we had been advised by one of the family members that the food is very good and plentiful so with that in mind I didn’t order any starters and chose the chicken and bacon stack in peppercorn sauce with sweet chili potatoes on the side. My meal was very tasty and homely, the sweet chili potatoes were excellent but I was glad that I didn’t order a starter as it was very filling and the portion was rather big. The staff at the Golf links were all very friendly and efficient and the food as mentioned was lovely and filling so I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Newcastle

We had come over for a family holiday and were recommended to visit the Golf Links for their great food and reasonable prices and it lived up to all expectations. We skipped the starters as we were advised portion sizes are rather large and what a decision it was! I had the Chicken & Bacon Stack which was really large and filling and I ordered a side of Chips which came in a massive bowl. As there was a large group of about 12 there was quite a good range of meals that covered everyone's tastes. I would advise to only go for the mains as the food is amazing but is far too large especially the sides as we ended up with bowls of chips coming out one after the other. I would loved to have tried the desert menu but I was stuffed just after the mains.

Food portions are very ample and the meal was tasty though the service was unusual as my meal arrived promptly and no one else got theirs, after a polite interval waiting I was encouraged to start eating by others before the food was cold, indeed I had finished before everyone else was served. I personally found this a bit awkward, though staff were very pleasant and polite. We enjoyed a very nice pudding and tea and shortbread after lunch and surroundings are nice.

Dining Room, Lounge area and toilets were all absolutely freezing. There didn't seem to be any heating on at all in February!! One of the Bar Waiters had been given no training whatsoever, did not know the difference between Soda Water & Tonic Water, Red Wine or Rose Wine to the point he was physically shaken by his mistakes ( please train your staff - totally unfair to put another person under this pressure!) Food was plentiful and tasty - but the waitress were unconcerned about their guests needs. Requests had to be repeated until they got it right! Its a busy place so service should be much better.

We hadn't eaten here in about 5 years so thought we'd give it a try,but won't be back.We had booked a table and yet upon arrival there was no one to greet us so we stood in the hallway for 20mins until we eventually attracted a waitress's attention.Garlic mushrooms,as a starter, cooked in thick burnt batter.....soooo greasy with a thimble of garlic mayo and served with a side of damp,wilted lettuce leaves.One of our mains was either "off" or not cooked thoroughly as the smell was noted by everyone at our table and was inedible so had to be sent back.Garlic sauté potatoes were served in a tin pot half filled with oil and totally tasteless.Roast Beef was lovely although the "champ" was again,tasteless and didn't look or taste like champ,lots of little hard lumps of potato all through it.Waiting staff seemed very busy and did try their best to accommodate us but I'm afraid the food left a lot to be desired.Cut back on the oil/batter/grease and heavy on the seasoning!!

What a choice...all cooked to perfection and tasted AMAZING....easily this would feed 2/3 people as big portions all round.

Our family booked this restaurant for a Holy Communion meal last Saturday and we were not disappointed. The restaurant was catering for 16 tables I believe, over 2 sittings and the food was fabulous. The waiting staff are so pleasant, and they helped in every way they could - beyond the norm. Paddy himself is very pleasant and checked and checked again that everyone was enjoying their meal - nothing was too much trouble. We have used this restaurant before for a family party and again, it was well planned and executed. Parking is great and it is so conveniently situated. Well worth a visit if you are looking good food, family feeling, excellent waiting staff, and well priced.

A very easy to find restaurant with good parking facilities. The staff are very attentive and friendly. Waitering was first class. There is a wide range of foods on the menu as well as a specials. All of us made different choices and we all enjoyed what we got. The portions are generous and very well presented. We have been there before and most likely we will be back again.

We visited Golf Links House again on Sunday 13th March 2016. I must admit that this restaurant is a favourite of mine. The menu is diverse, offering a wide selection of dishes. Service is always quick and friendly, as befits a family-run establishment. There is also a good selection of wines, beers and spirits on offer.On this occasion, we opted to share the Combo Platter for starters. Deep-fried mushrooms in (very) crispy batter, spicy chicken goujons, wedges and succulent ribs covered in barbeque sauce, all accompanied by a tasty and crispy salad with dips. Yum. We cleared the lot! For mains, Maeve had the pork fillet cordon bleu. A very generous portion on a bed of champ. She found it delicious, with the smoked cheese grilled on the outside adding a piquancy to the dish. I had the pulled pork burger with garlic cubed chips. Hint - you don't need the chips as the brioche bun is large and tasty. The pulled pork with barbecue sauce was delicious and a large portion (happy dogs when we got home). To finish, I had the brownie with chocolate sauce (never tasted better) and Maeve the Ferrero Rocher cheesecake (oh, ambassador). It was also delicious with a firm base and a melt in the mouth topping.Overall, a fantastic meal in a well-run, family-friendly restaurant. We keep coming back here because, as it says above, it never fails to delight. Great value for money, comfortable seating and a bar area to wait in. What more could you want?

We were staying in the Slieve Donard Hotel and we decided to go out to eat. This restaurant is amazing with lots of choice and good value for money. My husband and I had the starter of battered mushrooms which were lovely followed by the steak - equally as nice. Staff were very pleasant as were the surroundings. Would definitely return here

My cousin had her wedding here recently on the 30th July and we had a fantastic day. Customer service is second to none, and everything ran so smoothly. Peter behind the bar kept the drinks flowing freely, and anything we asked for was no trouble at all. Teas, coffees, wines beers, cocktails and shots! And each included service with genuine warmth and banter. The venue is very suitable to those with families as everything is on one level and we knew the kids were safe. Paddy and his team worked tirelessly to keep the wedding running smoothly and I can honestly say its a wedding where I truly relaxed as a guest. The food on the other hand blew me away. It was spectacular. I am not a fan of turkey and ham, and if I could get away with not having it at Christmas I most certainly would, but at Golf Links house I could have had an extra two portions (only I was fit to burst). Its the nicest I have ever had, and would consider returning for more. The portion sizes were extremely generous and piping hot. The stuffing, potatoes and carrots were full of flavour and truly delicious. The same can be said for the desserts also, although again I could only eat a spoonful or two. Golf links House really surpassed our expectations and its location and size makes it ideal for a wedding, however its the genuine homely feel that you get from the interior and the staff that make it what it is. We hope we get time to come back soon and try one the amzing burgers we have heard so much about too! Thank you Paddy and your team! Excellent day had by all!

Visited Golf Links House this week with a party of seven friends having booked about a week in advance. The food was ok, nothing particularly wrong but nothing special either. It was reasonably priced.The establishment is well presented in a nice setting with good parking and disabled access.The thing that really did strike me was the surly attitude of the staff. I certainly felt that they would have preferred that we had gone somewhere else. We were a middle aged to elderly group and were neither boisterous nor demanding. Little wonder that on a nice summer evening business was quiet. I can't say that I won't ever go back, but....?

My wife and myself went yesterday for Sunday lunch. Good variety of dishes on the menu. My wife had brie for starter, she said it was perfectly cooked and delicious. For main course my wife opted for pasta and I ordered the roast beef dinner. The roast beef was lovely and tender, three big slices, with mash, roast potatoes, carrot and parsnips and then a bowl of roasted vegetables arrived. The staff were really helpful and attentive. Will definitely call again.

Excellent chips to take out! Possibly the best takeout chips we have ever had accompanied with excellent customer service. The lady was very generous in her portion size and welcoming to us as first time visitors to Northern Ireland. We were very impressed with the opportunity to gift a meal which we did! A must chip shop to sample.

Beautiful course with outstanding views. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'd say it's a bit on the casual side for such a good course. The only downside I can come up with is that it might not be too challenging for a low handicapper.
