CUSTOMERS TALK ABOUT DISHES WITH.. fish

comment_iconOpinions

I know things are difficult right now.. thanks Rona . This was my first time at McClements. I ordered a fish and a gravy chip. I specifically said JUST SALT on the chips. .. You guessed it.. vinegar on the gravy chip and the huge fish portion was way overcooked. Didnt eat any of it. A waste of money and probably a customer who wont be eating from the shop again. It was not a good first impression.

I take no delight in leaving adverse reviews but feel I have no choice now after my latest of horrendous visit on 13th July just past. As has become commonplace staff are trying to deal with both carry-out and sit-in at the same time and it does not work. There is no team co-ordination and no managerial direction to try and get it sorted. This eatery has gone downhill and continues to do so. After waiting what must have been thirty minutes and leaving with our food, and quite a substantial order it was, we parked up, admired the view and discovered disgusting reheated chips. There is NO excuse after waiting the time we did to get reheated and more than once by the look of it chips, disgusting and seagulls got majority. This is the last straw and I personally will never enter through the doors again and will be advising friends and family the same.

We stopped here for an early dinner after spending time at the beach. Our order was placed but when we got home the dips were all the same when we had ordered three different ones!!! Chips were tasteless and soggy. Chicken goujons are usually gorgeous but seemed to have changed supplier not half as nice.. Very disappointed won't be running back.

Have been here for Sunday roast, they serve up till 8 o'clock . Limited tables so sometimes you have to wait for a table but it is worth waiting for. As well as a Sunday roast they have a few specials and a full menu. They do a pensioners lunch which is excellent value. I have had the roast beef and the chicken and broccoli bake. It is served with chips, champ or creamed potato a good selection of vegetables or salad. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. I also would recommend the scampi.

Lovely chips etc and I’d recommend the fry as it’s very tasty and hardly a spot of grease also it’s very reasonably priced!

Worst chippy ever! Staff were to busy having a person chat about there alcohol weekend and sex life! In front of children!! Service was slow because they were obviously to busy talk then to do there job! The manager just stood there and joined into the conversation! Complete joke! Food was okay but service is awful!

I really like it here. We got a good time to go in cos it wasn't busy. My son had fish & chips. I saw big of a portion it was and didn't think he would manage to eat it all. Well battered and good size! My own was chips, peas, onions and gravy. What a great plateful and yummy.My daughter had the kids meal, sausage and chips - also excellent.My husband had sausage, chips and baked beans - also as goodI would recommend and will be back. Thanks!

Hemos venido aquí desde que se abrió y nunca ha decepcionado con sus comidas. Los peces son enormes, no mi fotografía comida y post normalmente en medios sociales, pero cuando me presentó por primera vez con el pescado, sentía que tenía que compartir la experiencia con amigos. Lo único que tengo que decir sobre este lugar es, cuando está lleno tienes que reservar su pedido si llevar.

I would recommend the fish , the batter is crispy and very tasty, a fish supper would do between two people as it is very big, the staff is very friendly and helpful, it has always been busy when I've been in, but that is a good sign, it's great value for money, will definitely be calling in again.

Estaba muy concurrido, lo que era una buena señal. Esperar unos 20 minutos para la comida y cuando nos comieron las patatas estaban frías. Señora fue que nos sirve. El ajetreo no justifica acortamiento y la grosería. El docket por ella de golpe en el mostrador ya que pensaba que habíamos terminado nuestra orden y luego sighed porque ella ya había puesto. No se puede conseguir nada". Nos ser cortés y dar tiempo a hacer todo pero ella entendió que eso era todo. Entonces ella no decir gracias por el dinero y apenas nos miraba. La comida era promedio. Goujons pollo pequeño y decepcionante. Pastie agradable.

Without doubt, this is the best chippy in NI as far as I'm concerned. Generous portions, well priced, good quality fresh ingredients and a varied menu. The curry sauce is divine!

Q trip down the County Down coast would not be complete without a visit to McClements fish and chip restaurant in Millisle. Always busy and a family favourite. Local caravanners use it as a second home!! The fresh battered Portavogie scampi and chips are fabulous but the menu will satisfy any taste on a budget. Just let the Buzz go over your head. It is always busy and also has a take a way so it can get noisy!

Food always fresh and always lovely anytime my family eat out of it. Only gripe is the long wait on your food however they have a phone in collection service which means you get your food almost straight away :)

Food good as usual, however when we brought order home it was not correct and we had someone's else's order, this has happened a few times now which is very annoying, would put me off from returning again sadly!

Food was lovely as usual just a pity we had to wait so long, They brought us half our order down then we had to wait 10 mins on the rest including tea, Then 2 of the staff sat beside us eating their dinner telling each other how sick they felt, Which when somebody is about to eat is not a nice thing to hear

Called in yesterday for first time. Was out for my 56th birthday, going down memory lane to childhood summers spent in Millisle , this chip shop didn't exist though at the time (1970,S). Took our fish and chips to Millisle seafront, had come prepared with tea,bread and butter. The first bite of my chip buttie took me right back, I was in gastronomic heaven. We thoroughly enjoyed every morsel whilst watching the gulls over the sea...Bliss. Highly recommend this traditional fish and chip shop and can't wait for return visit.

This is a real favourite of ours when we're out for a drive around the Ards Peninsula. The food is always excellent, the portions are a good size, and the staff are very friendly and efficient. If you haven't been to McClements, it's well worth giving it a try.

There fish and chips are very good, however the pasties are really tasteless, a pity really as it can't be that difficult to make a decent pastie!

Good grub, easy parking, if there's a queue window shop for shoes at Kate's or grab a quick pint at Gracie Neills.

The title says it all this is simply the best chippy there is totally faultless. We used to drive past this place on our way home and were regular visitors, after moving house we are not as close but it is still worth the drive.

Always go to the McClements for fish and chips when out for a drive. You will not be disapointed. Fish are fresh and well cooked. Scampi is great.The only problem being is that its quite small and is difficult sometimes to get a seat.

Mckees Farm Shop Restaurantlocation-iconHollywood RdFast food

We went at 1230 on a Thursday and queued up outside in the hallway area to await entry into the restaurant itself, once a table was available. Probably waited about 5 minutes. This gives you time to look at the menu board. You have to be decisive and know what you want as once you are let in, you go straight to the counter to order and pay for your food and drinks. Ask for water for the table if you’d also like this. You’re then allocated a table and paddle with your order number. So far, so straightforward. The restaurant layout is good with a mixture of table sizes and a good atmosphere - very busy. Drinks came first, followed shortly by the food. We had the seafood pie and the beef casserole - both were very good. The menu is varied, ranging from scones to light bites, jacket potatoes and full dinners including roasts. The meat is from their farm. Prices are good - £13.95/£13.50 for our dinners - gives you a break from cooking! They do a regular roast dinner for £10.50. Afterwards you can have a browse in the farm shop. There’s also a few flowers and plants. Would recommend a visit.

This is my third time ordering from Lynn's fish and chip shop and it did not disappoint. I have tried the chicken fillet burgers, gravy chip, chicken curry chip and onion rings, all were absolutely delicious. Great service and friendly staff, would highly recommend and we will be back!!

The Square Dinerlocation-iconMain StreetFast food

Reading the reviews you’d think this place was incredible. Sadly, it was pretty awful eating here. Not only was the food practically inedible (so much grease) the staff were unfriendly and inattentive. A faulty teapot meant my mother in law was nearly scolded - their answer was to offer another pot of tea to be added to the bill!! Small tip: when you’re at fault, you offer a replacement for free, not charge again! In a small town like Ballywalter, where everyone is so lovely, this place was such a let down with grumpy service and bad food. Go to Firebox over the road!
