McLaughlin's Corner in Coleraine

We ate here as the place we had intended to eat at was closed. There was a specials menu ranging from expensive roast dinners to cajun wraps. Nothing suitable for vegetarians. I asked if they had anything veggie and was met with a blank stare. I opted for a scone (a whole scone for lunch) which was rock hard. The server swapped it for another one, which was less hard as it had been semi heated. The other diners had paninis which seemed to be OK. Disappointing visit however the server was probably the friendliest person you'll ever meet.

After some recent disappointments in 2019 - tonight’s meal was first class - quality with good service.

They had advertised roast of the day beef or turkey and ham, I ordered turkey and ham, I got chicken slices and it wasn't freshly cooked it was from a packet, it's expensive I won't be coming here again and I highly recommend that if your looking fresh cooked food then do not come here this place is awful.

5 of us found ourselves starving this afternoon whilst out golfing. Someone came up with the bright idea of getting a Sunday roast from McLaughlin's corner. Unbelievable idea. It was deadly. Extra gravy and horseradish sauce and all. If you are hungry and you are near Kilrea get one of these.

Got a Sunday roast delivery today from McLaughlin’s and I have to say it was superb, meat was really tender and the vegetables were excellent, they even sent us some horseradish, the food was warm and the portions were very generous. Will definitely be ordering again.. Thanks guys!!!

We got a Sunday roast delivered to us today for a group of 5. Food was top class and service excellent. Great value for money. Will definitely be ordering again..

Stopped here for a morning coffee at the Corner Stone Coffee Shop part of McLaughlins Corner. Availability of eats was non existent; there was two scones and three pancakes wrapped in plastic. Ordered a scone that was extremely dry and crumbly, and was not fresh. Coffee was flavorless, although hot. I cannot speak for the restaurant part of the establishment, but would not recommend the coffee shop at all.

I would not recommend anyone to come to McLaughlin Corner. Staff are ok. We waited 45mins for our main course and when it arrived a steak we ordered came out "well done" instead was meant to be "rare".

I like going to McLaughlins corner, if we are really hungry. They really do some great food, but I can't understand why the potato mash always tastes of oil. Do they put oil in it instead of butter, strange..Otherwise excellent.

We stayed here for 1 night before going on to the Open golf in Portrush, on arrival Veronica was more than helpful and obliging, our room was clean and warm. We had a fabulous evening meal and a great bit of Craic in the bar after with Veronica, she even made us a picnic bag for the golf! Will return if up that way again.thanks again Veronica

Beer amazing Food up to the mark Chilli beef - VG Ribs n steak - VG Service first class We will return

My friend won a voucher toward a meal in this place and we went to the Sunday carvery... if I had to pay for it I wouldn't go... Young ladies serving didn't appear to know what they were doing preferring to gather and chat... when we went to the main meal part of the carvery we stood for about 5 mins as no one there at the time to carve the meat! Staff walked by us and could see this but did nothing!!!!... Saw a family next to us with a baby in a baby chair but when they just lifted the baby to nurse her the staff took the chair away and gave it another family who came in leaving the first family to have to nurse the child when they got their dinner... not a good experience!

I’d passed this Restaurant many times over the years but was always on a schedule and couldn’t stop. Finally had the time to stop and explore. The staff are very pleasant, and our food arrived very promptly. What we had ordered was fine but I couldn’t say it was full of flavour . Indeed it was simply regular restaurant fare, not too expensive and served with a smile. I’ll return and hopefully find that it lives up to its local reputation.

Had a beautiful meal service excellent food lovely and cheap service r eat and price excellent free starter and desser

We arrived as part of a large party for christmas dinner. We chose the baked cod which was served first. We were both given the tail end of the cod, which was dry, grey, and inedible. The vegetables were boiled into mush, sprouts and carrots. Potatoes were one roast and two scoops of mash which were grey and unappetising. We returned our food to the waitress who offered no apology. We were told that the cod would be freshly cooked for us. On arrival, it was a better cut of fish, and moist. We were able to eat the fish and one roast potato each. The sauce accompanying the fish was like yellow milk which we could not use. The second plate of food arrived on cold greasy plates. No apology was proferred! Another of our party beside us had roast beef which was tough and very difficult to cut through (he did not complaint as he thought there was no point as staff were indifferent and uninterested). Coffee served was watery with no coffee taste. There was no accompnying biscuit offered. After the meal we tried several times to get a drink from the bar but there were no staff there or at reception. When ee eventually got served the beer was served in an obviously dirty glass. When pointed out to the barmaid, ther was no response and no apology. Terrible disapointment on what should have been a relaxing and happy xmas day out. We will not return.

I had never eaten here before...and the apprehension was hanging out of me....although I had heard good things about this restaurant from family and friends in the past. Just never got around to trying it before as it is a little out of my way.

My husband and I called in today for soup and tea. We were served quickly in the restaurant. There was no-one else there at the time. We ordered soup and tea. The soup was piping hot and very tasty, although it was served in quite a small bowl. I would have appreciated a bigger serving as we were not ordering anything else. Two soups and tea for two came to over ten pounds, which I thought was a bit expensive.

Over 5 years sense l reviewed this eatery so we were really looking forward to paying it another visit .

2 visits during our weeks holiday.

Approx 20out for an evening meal. Staff provided a sample menu so all could pre order. Worked very well. Good food with friendly staff. Will be back 👏👏

This is a great place to eat and very reasonably priced. We had passed it a few times and finally decided to go in Well worth it you will not be disappointed

We popped in for a quick bite and were pleasantly surprised by the cheap price and large portions. Our sandwiches were very good. Service was prompt and friendly. If you need a pick me up we recommend this shop highly.

Went for coffee this morning. Coffee tasted as if the beans had been reused many times. Asked for a plain scone. Brought out frozen oneswhich obviously hadn't been labelled as mine waz fruit. It had been buttered before being given over and the fruit easn't noticed. I do not plan to ever be back. Dreadful

We drove from Limavady to McLaughlin’s Corner for lunch today for the first time and had a lovely meal. The staff were most welcoming and attentive. The meals that we chose were excellent, very tasty and great value.

La comida es la tipica de casi todos estos sitios, que son una mezcla de casa de comidas con pubs. Tienen unos doce platos en la carta no son muy abundantes pero se nota que no están precocinados, y la verdad están buenos. Por unas 12 libras pidiendo un cervecita y/o vinito chileno comes divinamente.

I eat hear loads it's so lovely beautiful and staff are so lovely the menu is great loads to choose from the sunday Calvary is brill the chef is good at his job love it

Día de la madre tarde para mi de mis dos hijos. A ESQUINA mclaughlin's. Personal cálido y simpático y no podía hacer lo suficiente para nosotros. El servicio era excelente. Personal todos jóvenes fueron muy positivos en sus relaciones con los clientes. La atmósfera es fantástica. La comida era mucho más de lo que esperaba. Por el precio de 3 platos principales. Los precios de las porciones de comida genial de buen tamaño 100%. Salió completa y feliz recomendaría mucho este restaurante y sin duda volveremos.

Great food, great service, fantastic value. Bit old fashioned decor but with the quality of food, decent portions, really great service and value for money anyone can live with that.

Visited here recently for two separate family birthday parties. Superb service (as always) excellent menu, wide choice, brilliant food, fantastic events so well organised by the management. Staff could not do enough for us. Highly recommended for parties or an evening out.

Para la familia el almuerzo, sopa de verduras probado que exima, asientos para niños, aunque sucio principal almuerzo fue excelente como siempre.

Excelente comida servida por un personal encantador, su oferta a diario (excepto los domingos) de un arrancador con cada principal es una gran relación calidad-precio. Una parada que no se puede perder si su hambre y en la zona.

En el pasado era una esquina McLaughlin's para aquellos abrevadero a caballo o en diligencia. También era un lugar donde la corriente campesina y caí en la gentry mezclados libremente causa común de beber! Hoy McLaughlin's Corner es un excelente restaurante y un café 'esquina',...

Paramos en nuestro camino a casa de Donegal para comer el domingo y tengo que decir que estoy muy contento de haberlo hecho. Los precios de la carvary son increíbles y la comida era deliciosa. Mi marido y yo y 2 niños de 11 y...

No había estado en la esquina antes y estaban deseando una bienvenida de newlcustomers pero no sucedió y es una lástima, porque la comida que era seguir era bueno incluso si el ambiente en el comedor dejaba mucho que desear. Sí, estaba limpia, una buena alfombra en el suelo y mesas pero le faltó algo que hace una noche especial.

Great food and very friendly staff great service you dont have long to wait on your food . Great car parking .

Have eaten here several times. Food is excellent and fantastic value for money. I don't have any complaints at all. So to all management and staff continued success

Went for lunch with a friend, Food was gorgeous, and very good value for money. Staff very friendly and helpful, Well worth a visit if you are in the area

Had a lovely meal in McLaughlins on Friday night hadn't booked but the friendly waitress was able to accommodate us. Upon ordering we just wanted a main meal but told we could have a free starter and free dessert we had prawn cocktail and it came full of prawns I had delicious pate cud not fault it my hubby had the cod which was not able to fit on the plate, which was scrumptious batter melt in your mouth I had the chick goujons we both could not finish main meal therefore couldn't sample the lovely desserts which seen other diners eating! Really great value for money can't wait next time down this area to sample the carvery!

Fantastic Sunday carvery served up to 4pm. Have visited on quite a few occasions and carvery always 100%. Bannoffee is delicious for dessert.

We arrived at 3-00 pm to be greeted by a smiling employee. We picked the 5 course Carvery option which was £16 . Were seated quickly and given a choice of 2 soups both were hot and delicious accompanied by a small roll and butter. Next a choice of 5 cold entrees. These were also very tasty and presented well. After a small break we tackled the mains. Turkey gammon and beef with all the trimmings. Absolutely delicious. Desserts were well made and varied with about 6 different ones followed by tea or coffee. All in all a great experience with not one negative

Stopped off for lunch with my wife. Nicer and bigger inside than it looks from outside. We were seated quickly and got our drinks but the waitress was a little slow to take our order and then bring the food. The food was tasty and quite good value. Would go again if I was passing.

Stopped in for Sunday dinner and was a really good feed. My wife got steak and was cooked to her recommendation and I got chicken korma which was lovely with boiled with and small naan breads. The dessert and starter were free with any main which was nice. The pricing is more than a standard place but you do we starter and dessert free so quite reasonable. Garlic bread with cheese and pepperoni was nice starter and waffles for dessert.

Food very nice would recommend a visit, ignore the old fashioned decor and enjoy your food. When you order a main meal you can have a free starter and dessert and the portions are very generous. Staff could do with cheering up a bit

I rang and booked here for Saturday , I specifically stated I wanted to eat in the dinning room as I find the bar area to noisy . I was assured that a table in the dinning room was no problem . When we arrived we were shown to the bar area , I told the waitress I had booked for the dinning room and her attitude was tough we dont have room in there. I was disgusted as this is the second time this has happened to us . I always ring in advance as I like the dinning room .We decided as the attitude was so bad not to stay and went to eat somewhere far nicer . I will never try booking here again

I recently booked here for a family meal, it was first visit and im quite sure it will be the last. We had the carvery at 3pm..not only was it poorly cooked it was luke warm meanwile we had to ask twice for a drinks order and then to hav someone take childrens orders not to mention having to also ask 4 kids menu. Then half way through attempting to eat our food staff started to clear carvery away and rolling the large counters up and down floor beside us. To top this off we had to pay full amount at door on entering the restaurant.

Received a voucher as a gift for here, pleasantly surprised, good value for money and good food. Certainly would recommend here for a visit.

A family favourite - especially on sundays. Offers a great range of food in a friendly family atmosphere. Sundays provide a great carvery.We have also held birthday functions here and the staff really go out of their way to ensure you're well looked after!

Great Food At a really good priceThey offer a cravy on a Sunday which is really nice and the price again is great A good bar in it as well with great staff and good banter in it.

Just moved into the Maghera area and was looking for a place to eat . Came across McLaughlins Corner on the internet so I decided to give it a try on Sunday night. Had not booked but they were able to accommodate us. Very varied menu I had turkey and ham and my husband had duck . The portions were excellent and very reasonably priced and the price also included a free starter and free dessert. The staff were very pleasant and I will definitely be back.

I just cannot sing the praises enough with regard Martin McKay, the head cook and co-owner with his lovely wife, at McLaughlin’s Corner. Just down the road from the historic village of Kilrea and located near the renown Bann River, this historic restaurant is well known and frequented by locals. Martin has many good choices on the lunch and dinner menu that will please anyone’s palate. From sizzling Cantonese dishes to pan fried duck breast and at reasonable prices, makes this a gem of a restaurant in the Bann River area. That said, I have to further to compliment the grace and down home friendliness of the McKay family and their excellent servers. Of all the eateries and fine dinning establishments we've patronage in our 26 day journey throughout the Green Isle, McLaughlin’s stands high in our memories for a memorable meals, decent price and above all, warm Irish hospitality. If you ever find yourself traveling in the area or your planning to fish the famous Bann, be sure to swing by McLaughlin’s.

We recently ate in McLaughlin's Corner to celebrate a birthday. The food was lovely, everyone really enjoyed their meal. It is great value for money too. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. We will definitely return :)

We visited at lunch time. We were the only people there and had to wait half an hour for our food. However when it came it was delicious. They were very accommodating as we had a gluten free in our group so maybe that was why we had to wait. The dining hall is a little dated but if you don't mind that its a nice spot.

Lovely food well cooked ' Nice presentation. But the service wasn't there with a single smile ' we where just otherwise a costume that's a downfall to unhappy staff ! Our just a job . There wasn't any atmosphere i honestly can say anything wrong with the great food ☺& value for money. * our 1st visit *I don't know if i would go back for dinner. Maybe for a 45 minutes lunch ,

This was a night out for 5 girls celebrating a 50th birthday. The lady on reception was extremely helpful and friendly. Food was amazing as were staff. Lovely dining area too. They offer a free starter and free dessert with every full main course purchased. We thought starter and dessert would be small but they weren't. The portions were really good throughout. Everything was cooked fresh and was brought out warm and quickly. Couldn't ask for better.

After hearing the great reviews I decided to go for a family Sunday dinner! Staff were very courteous, food in my opinion was very basic and tasteless, everything I had appeared to be cooked from frozen including the desserts although saying that the roast meats were nice and moist! For £16 each I would of expected warm starters ie chicken wings etc!

Went for a leaving do for friends, beautiful food and lovely setting, will definitely be back in the future

Me and my partner have been here several times now we honestly cant fault it, the staff is always so friendly an helpful. The food is AMAZING big portions excellent value for money. You get your starter and desert for free so only pay for your drinks an main FANTASTIC. Last night we order the 10oz Sirloin steak an being steak lovers we were astonished i couldnt even finish it, it was massive compared to the ones i have had elsewere. Couldnt recomend enough. Only con is that this place really needs decorated its very old fashioned.

Called here today for lunch.We were greeted by a friendly waitress. The carvery had a good selection to choose from. There was also a extensive range of veg that you served yourself to. There also is a good range of dessert to choose from. Good food, friendly service, affordable price. Recommended.

decided at the last minute to book this restaurant got a table for 6.30 no problem. We had to sit in the bar which was fine but our table was right beside the screened of access to the kitchen which was okay but it could have been better placed.Food was really good. Went for the three courses for the price of your main which is excellent value. Yes the starters are not massive and the salad which came with goujons was a bit on the small side but after eating all three courses I was full.My husband had the mixed grill which looked very hearty, everything was cooked well, presented well and tasted good. Which is what we were looking for.Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this as a good place to eat and relax for a few hours.

had a large steak it was cooked to perfection and staff were very friendly and helpful.i would recommend this restaurant

We had passed this pub many times but failed to eat there until a couple of weeks ago. It looks very nice from the outside and has plenty of parking space.We were surprised when we entered the restaurant as its like going into a very old fashioned parlour. It was clean but has a horrible green carpet and different patterned curtains hanging, that didn't match anything else ...... everything was a complete mismatch.The food on the other hand, was very good and the price was good value. Also, the staff were very polite & friendly.Its a shame, as just a tin of magnolia paint would help to brighten this place up .... and lose the carpet & curtains and I'm sure it will get lots more custom.The food was good as was the price, so we probably would return.

What a lovely dinner we had prawn cocktail , melon and soup for starter's main course 10oz steak and all the trimmings, sizzling beef in Peper sauce the kids had steak, sausages and plain burger three ice creams a plavola and chocolate fudge cake the food was out of this world very friendly staff as well the manger was very helpful . When you buy a main corse you get your starter and desert free very good deal we will be going again

This is a lovely Restaurant with lovely food. We came across this place by chance but will definitely return. Went in for Dinner and discovered free Starter and Dessert with any main course purchased. Meals start from £10 with good variety to suit all tastes. Food was all beautifully presented and had good flavour. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Only downside, I think they could do with someone on reception permanently.

An unexpected invitation for lunch at this restaurant didn't require much thought - it was an immediate yes.I was privileged to be in the company of a number of leading figures in public life and even though we arrived 45 minutes ahead of schedule, slightly wrong footing the receptionist, we were made most welcome and immediately invited to take our seats.Menus were promptly placed on the table and the ''kitchen' swung into action in double quick time.The choice of food was appealing and we were made aware of a couple of 'extras'. Within a short time the food was delivered and there wasn't a single complaint. Quite simply, it was delicious and plenty on the plate!Staff were friendly, attentive and the room proved a welcoming and warming place on a cold March afternoon.McLaughlins Corner is a well-established venue and has always had a good reputation for providing decent fare.It's been some years since I last paid a visit and it was gratifying to come back to enjoy the same standard.I would thoroughly recommend this place for food. Our party set the chef a task and he/she rose to the occasion which is the hallmark of a reputable venue.

Had a fabulous evening meal for Mother's Day all six of us very very happy. Excellent run family business.

I was looking for somewhere central for my child's 18th birthday and we decided to use McLaughlins corner. Very bad decision. Table was booked for 5:30 we arrived at 5:15 and had to wait until 5:30 before any staff member came to speak to us only because some of us had travelled quite a distance or I would have cancelled the booking and left. The 3 kids were very hungry and disappointed there was nowhere to sit or for them to do. We were eventually seated at a table and told someone would be with us shortly for our order. The menu was not explained to us and we were not offered any drinks. We were eventually seated at 5:35 and server came at 5:55 to take our starters. We then had to wait until 6:22 before starters came. Starters consisted of a teaspoonful of prawns with no sauce and a sorry looking small little gem leaf of lettuce, or a small finger roll sliced in two set on a small slice of onion a small leaf of little gem again and a scraping of melted butter but no garlic the ribs were two small ribs which were bare of any meat and just complete bone no sauce or nothing just two ribs set on a large plate. Table was eventually cleared and we did not receive our main courses until 7:10 by that time two of the three children were sleepy grumpy and very hungry. My son asked twice what the wait was and was told they were busy. Considering there was only 8 other folk in the restaurant and that was it I dont know what was going on in the kitchen. Mains came 4 small chicken gougons and approximately 25 chips and a thimble of dip the meals were cool and the gougons were hard as boards and dried out. The 3 kids did a bit better they got 5 dippers and 8 smily faces each. The chicken maryland must have stayed in maryland My son's 3 year old cleared her plate her sisters and half of her dads she was that hungry her brother had by this time fell asleep and missed his dinner. Desserts were only slightly better with the chocolate fudge cake serving about 50 folk the slices were paper thin. Totally demoralising for the whole family and for my child's 18th birthday. My father in law went up with my son to complain but it fell on deaf ears and no one was interested. They were told that service was to a high standard and that also meals were very good value. We left bitterly disappointed and my child's 18th was completely ruined and wish we had never booked. We will never be back and will definitely advise anyone who is considering going or trying out the main course get starter and dessert free menu to avoid and go elsewhere. My father in law took us all out two nights later to another place in the area where we were welcomed and had an excellent meal which turned out just as cheap and food was delicious.

Food and staff are amazing, and can never do enough for you.The Management are also amazing and are hands on,highly recommend this restaurant.

Food was basic, staff were inexperienced, the atmosphere was terrible. We were placed in a big cold room beside the bar as we waited for a table.

Old style restaurant felt like I was sitting in my grannys living room, so very welcoming and homely. Staff very friendly. Menu ok a bit limited with the starters, maybe need to be updated, bit expensive for starter I had the nachos . Main meal of chicken creamed potato pepper sauce wih tobacco onions really good potatoes the best I have had eating out in a very long time. Overall a good place to go if you want a good hearty meal.

Great value for money,enjoyed 3 courses for price of main course!!Good selection choice on menu.Staff were friendly and kids enjoyed!!Would definitely go back.

Food is lovely, staff are friendly. Great value for money - 3 courses for the price of your main course from 5pm. The Chicken Sandeman is very tasty.

Had always wanted to try the carvery in here and it was very tasty. Was five courses which was soup, there was a choice and I went for vegetable which was lovely, next was cold starters of egg mayo, salmon, prawns, potato salad, noodles, salad etc I think a few hot starters as well would have been nice and a bit more of a selection as well would be better, our party skipped this course. The main was delicious, with a great selection of potatoes and veg and the meat was perfectly cooked. Desert was also lovely with a good selection to choose from and the final course was tea and coffee. The lady who greeted us at the reception was very friendly and cheerful, the only thing that let down the visit was the waitresses, I caught them staring and giggling at customers several times and I'm not quite sure what their problem was, very immature.

Went for Sunday Carvary. Good selection of starters and mains tasted ok. Very busy and had long queues though. Desserts had a very poor selection and not a great variety. Haven't returned since but will give it another chance

Caesar salad was terrible lettuce was withered which they did replace , staff never smile , seemed to be locals they concentrated on .

Really enjoyed a delicious 3 course meal here for the price of our main course. Could not believe the quality and freshness of the food it was really fantastic. (And i like nice food!! ) My low grade for atmosphere was only because we called in at 5.30 mid week I've no doubt this place is packed the rest of the time. If it's not it should be! A definite hidden gem!

I've been to this Family run establishment on many occasions now and have to say I have never had a bad meal in it yet. McLaughlin's Corner was initially recommended to my Parents many years ago by neighbours of ours and after trying it they enjoyed it so much they have became regular customers. Hence how I was introduced to it. And I can honestly say hand on heart that you couldn't meet nicer people or enjoy good wholesome food in a more homely environment anywhere else. The Sunday Dinner or Lunch is absolutely delicious. My personal favourite being the Steak or Roast Beef Dinner. And the Sticky Toffee Pudding is just heaven. The Staff are more than helpful with anything you need. Everyone makes you feel at home and makes a real effort to chat and get to know you that it's just like visiting friends now when we go there and they try to seat you in an area you prefer if possible and if you haven't tried it yet then you're definitely missing out. This is a place to relax and enjoy a yummy meal with a great family atmosphere and buzz about the place. And I can honestly say if you try it once you'll definitely be back. I can't wait to get out again for a real succulent tasty Steak. It's a hidden gem. Keep up the Good Work McLaughlin's and keep up the Yummy Food. I'll be out again soon for a big feed. :0)

Mclaughlins corner is always a cert for good food And now even better value too as the menu has changed. We love the warm surroundings and staff are always attentive and friendly. I had fillet steak (a firm favourite I this establishment) as the meat is always tender and cooked to perfection. Would recommend this restaurant for good food and good value.

My husband, 3 children and I visited McLaughlins Corner on Sunday 10/8/13 and i was disappointed. i have been several times in the past in the evenings but never for Sunday lunch and unfortunately never again. I pre-booked a table for the lunch - not carvery. When we arrived we were shown promptly to our table and sat there for at least 15 mins before our order was taken. We ordered starters and main course. Starters eventually arrived after another 15 mins and we then waited at least another 10 /15 mins for our main meal. The food was good and i couldn't complain about it. The carvey was extremely busy and i felt that we were forgotten about because we were not taking the carvey! We were served by a pleasant young lady however the excessive delay we experienced would put me off returning!

the 5 course starter began with a choice of 2 soups..as a party of 4, three took the vegetable soup (apparently it was very good) and i opted for the mushroom and sherry ...a brave choice as i couldnt imagine what it would taste like, but it was delicious..a good choice of cold starters which included prawns, egg mayo, rice, pasta, pate on toast etc..the main was a choice of roast beef/turkey/ham and all the trimmings..dessert choices were plentiful too...tea or coffee is your 5th course..all in all a great carvery..a downside would be the long queue at the peak time..the staff are very attentive and pleasant..if you want a good meal on a sunday £16 is what you will pay at mclaughlins..

We found this place by chance when looking for somewhere to eat from where we were staying. We were the only ones in there on a Friday afternoon so as a result received very good service. We had a very enjoyable and well needed luck which was nice and reasonably priced.

As u can see from my ratings I didn't even score the food as we never received any. We had a table booked for 8 people at 730pm for my partners mothers b'day. We were in and seated at 720 with may i add only 2 Menus for 6 of us. We then waited on 2 of our guests to arrive as they got stuck in traffic. They arrived at 740 and we had drinks ordered and had got them by the time they had arrived. They took there seat and studied the menu until they came to take our order at 8pm. In the meantime a table of 20 had took there seats behind us and they must have ordered from the bar area as they had no menus when they were seated. In a short space of time there Starters came out to there table and we were still waiting on ours. We then thought ah well our starters will maybe come out after there's but No. They finished there starters and then there main courses started to come out and we still had no starters. Then to top it all off a table beside us had there main courses brought out to them and they hadn't even got there starters yet. Also a table behind us that was waiting for there mains said the soup was disgusting and was like dishwater. What a shambles of a place. By this stage it was 845 and we still had not received our starters so we took it upon ourselves to get up from our table and leave. Never be back near the place. Hope Sean McLaughlin reads these comments and takes them on board. Probably a table of locals that got served before everyone else and thats not a way to run a business.

Good enough food but when in a large group they seem to struggle to keep up. I got my main course and was waiting on my sides of veg and champ. Brought me, chips, then chilli chips and finally champ. By this stage everyone else in the party had finsished their main course. Now dont get me wrong, the food was very good and it may have just been a bad night so will try again sometime.

Me & my family are regular diners at McLaughlin's having been going there for several years for evening meals, Sunday lunch & carvery, as well as various family events. The staff are all fantastic, they always have a smile on their faces when greeting us & serving us throughout and make sure we have everything we need throughout our meal. They are all friendly, chatting away to us and making extra special efforts for any kids we take with us as well as the oldies!As for the food, we have never had a bad meal in McLaughlin's. The food is always served in a timely manner, even in big groups.We have seen 3 variations to the menu, all of which provided good selection. This recent evening menu offers great variation with spicy dishes of chicken & beef as Wel as more traditional goujons & fish. It is a great idea having the starter & dessert included in the cost of the main meal.The carvery always has a great selection of fresh foods also. The salad starters are always kept fresh & topped up while soup kept warm & full of flavour. The same goes for the main meats & veg. And I can never choose between their desserts! Yum!Their decor has just been redone. A good choice of paper, very in keeping with the country restaurant theme. It definitely makes the place warmer and makes it more up to date. All in all McLaughlin's always offers us good food at good prices, a bit of banter, & all in a good atmosphere! Thanks McLaughlin's :)

Called in with family for Sunday Lunch .. We were seated right away and handed the new menu, the price shown for each Main Course included a starter and also a sweet , a great idea !! The menu was great .. Drink order was taken and served promptly , orders were then taken and to be honest the wait for food was just too long for our liking, the food it's self was lovely no complaints there.. Well done chef !! The staff were all friendly and helpful and the atmosphere brilliant .. The reception area was in need of a facelift ,toilets are spotless!! all staff wearing uniforms in the restaurant area should be a must , can't all be bosses surely?? All in all a good wee day out for family ,, price was fair and will def. call in again ... No airs or graces about this eatery just a lovely easy going place to stop in for a "BITE"

We called in for lunch on Saturday. Although we were a bit early it was no problem. The restaurant was very 'dated' and lacked atmosphere #7 was a bit chilly. Drinks came quickly but my glass had lipstick on it - this was changed immediately when I pointed it out. The food arrived after 15 minutes. The turkey & ham dinner looked lovely & indeed was lovely. Extra roast potatoes were provided instead of mash & the gravy was worth a mention in itself.The lasagne looked like yesterday's resusitated-with-a-bit-of-cheese-on-top-that-they-won't-notice dried offering and tasting it didn't change my opinion. Had it been fresh I think that it would have been very enjoyable as the underlying flavour was good however it was as dry as a bone and rubbery edged and if it hadn't been for the colselaw it would have deen inedible. The chips were nice.2 dinners, 2 soft drinks - pennies under £20.00Staff were friendly & service was good.I don't think that we'll be back again...disappointing after being told we would get a good meal there...wouldn't suggest it to friends.

Being a regular diner at "The Corner" I have to say I have always had excellent food and service, what ever day of the week it might be. It certainly is worth a visit on Fridays at the minute, when they have a great two course steak menu at an equally great price. The Christmas grotto is an amazing feature for adults and kids alive. "The Corner" is certainly my favourite place for food,atmosphere and entertainment!

We ate at the fantastic Chinese Buffet last nite (4A). This was my 4th time eating at McLaughlin's corner and I have been impressed every time I have been. The chinese buffet was very good and at a great price. there was a good selection of dishes all freshly cooked and topped up throughout the evening. Waitress was very friendly. The function room has been redecorated since I was last there and it looks brilliant, much brighter and up to date than before. Previous times we have eaten I have always recieved excellent service. The sunday carvery is great for families but can get a little noisy if you are wanting a quiet meal as with any carvery. The weekday lunch menu is great value and food was outstanding. highly recommend the bbq chicken schnitzel (i think thats what its called).Will definately be back again!

When we arrived for a quiet sunday afternoon meal we were brought to the bar area for the carvery. We were seated under a television with X-Factor on far too loud. We asked to be moved to another area and were moved round the corner but the noise from X-Factor was still far too loud. The service was very poor, my wife had the tomato soup for a started and she said it was like watered down heinz tomato soup. I went for the cold starters. The cold started table was a poor show with prawns coated in mayo sitting an inch deep in their own juice. We had our started eaten before we were offered drinks but the barman must have found it difficult to hear over the loud X-Factor as he muddled up our order. The main was not bad but could have been a lot better. We sat after our meal for about 20 mins and no one came to ask us how our meal was or to offer tea and coffee so we left thirsty. Never again.

We as a family (2A 2C) stopped in for a evening meal, mid week. We were not offered to eat in the Restaurant but served food in the bar area. It was cold and a bit dated. The food was definately pub grub and cooked well but for me was over priced.
