We went here yesterday even though the chips were not great last year we thought we would give here another try big mistake, chips were brown in colour and mushy not crispy and they tasted funny they left a greasy taste in the mouth a waste of £4.80, we didn't bother about a fish supper at £11.10 it was to expensive. Take my advice if you want really 1st class fish supper go to the Dolphin in Kilkeel their food is class and only £8.85 for a fish supper, but disappointed in the food here for the price .

I can't visit Newcastle without a fish supper from John Mac's. Unfortunately there's always a long wait however once ordered they have a paging system. The last fish supper I got the girl put far too much red sauce on it and it wasn't even Heinz.

This place is amazing, had to wait a bit but it was quite busy so that's justified. The chips are really soft and the pasty is exceptional.

Food was good. Service lacking, standing at till waiting to order and customer known to staff came in, despite me already standing in front of the staff member at the till I was ask to move aside and she took the other order first. Not exactly a nice thing to do on any aspect of life. Otherwise it was fine

We would visit Newcastle Regularly, but would usually go to Docs for food but as it was very busy yesterday we tried this chippy and sat by the water eating our food. Honestly was just amazing! We got 2 fish suppers and a tub of curry. You get 1 and half pieces of battered haddock and a brave few chips. Portion was super, and fish was cooked great. Couldn’t fault it. Staff very friendly, love the wee buzzer device they give you to keep you right and stop crowing up at the counter. Thought it was a fair price at £10.80 for each supper, I never mind paying when the quality is there! Can’t wait to come back again, just glad I don’t live there or I’d be as big as a house! But amazing for a treat by the sea. Thank you

Slightly disappointed with this one, ordered fish supper to have by the sea, was looking forward to the traditional seaside treat. The batter on the fish was thick and stodgy and chips were soggy and soaked in a very watered down vinegar. Only thing I can say is that the staff were very busy and may have overlooked cooking times and batter thickness. would definitely give this place another go at a less busy time of day.

Quite possibly the best fish & chips I've ever had. I wish I'd taken a photo, but once I started eating I wasn't stopping. The batter was paper thin and crispy, no white fluffy stodge, just crisp batter coating beautifully fried fish. Same for the chips too, clean, fresh and so very tasty. No kidding, John Mac's is a must stop shop if you're in Newcastle.

Got takeaway here a few days ago. Cod supper and a portion of sausages . The food was very tasty and of good quality and quantity. My problem was with the sausages. A portion of sausages is 2 sausages, the same everywhere. Everywhere else I've been you either get about 10 chips or no chips with them, and this is usually reflected in the price. In John macs I got 2 chips! Yes 2 chips!. When I asked the girl she told me they were free. What an insult, her manner is not customer friendly. The portion was £2.30, a lot for 2 sausages oh and don't forget the 2 chips. My advice to John macs is either give more chips or don't give any at all. It really is an insult.

Nice girl took our order, expected more than 2 chips with a sausage..... Also the most ignorant 'woman' barked at me when I asked for salt and vinegar at the last minute, some lessons in customer service wouldn't go amiss.....

we went here for dinner today and generally the food was nice. initially the staff were friendly but when we opened our food there was a massive dead beetle about the size of a 1p coin fried onto one of my chips. i was obviously absolutely disgusted so took the chip back to show the staff and when i showed the girl she jumped back so she clearly immediately knew what it was without me saying anything but then she grabbed the chip off me and picked the bug off claiming it was potato skin. i don’t have a photo but i can assure you it definitely wasn’t. i had to leave uncompensated and without an apology. not happy with how the situation was handled at all, i wish they had taken responsibility and i would’ve definitely been happier.

We always go to John Macs in Newcastle when staying up in our caravan, we so look forward to the most lovely chips,always beautiful food, we went Monday lunchtime what a disappointment, the chips were like a dark brown, loads of wee bits of chips with hard edges would have cut your mouth, not a decent chip the way it always is, my son wouldn't even eat his they were that hard, they went in the bin, battered sausage was lovely though,won't be in a hurry back pity because I always loved their chips.

I had read this was the place to go in Newcastle for fish and chips and it did not dissapoint! Prepare to go in hungry as the portions are incredibly generous. Tastiest cod I've had in so long and the chips were also amazing. Side of pepper sauce topped it all off, I'm still full and happy from it 2 weeks later!!

This place really is THE BEST fish & chip shop in Northern Ireland!! We happily drive 45mins to go to Newcastle just for their takeout fish & chips lol. Everything is freshly cooked to order, decent portions, quality food, and nice staff. Their menu board is extensive and there is no horrible after taste from overused cooking oil etc. We bring our visitors here to enjoy a takeaway fish supper on a bench on the promenade - and the compliments are always good!! We’re always trying other places, but nothing comes close to John Macs👍😋🥰

What a delightful restaurant, doing a bit of a loop of the Co Down area, decided to go out to Strangford for a look-see. Quick Google and Artisan Cookhouse was top of the list! Went for the burger and fish and chips, both great. BUT the piece de la resistance was their peanut parfait dessert, a masterpiece! Very enjoyable, lovely staff and great value!

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.

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!!
