Had visited many times as then known as the " the old barn" which was pleasant dinning experience.. however now under a new name "the granary" for good or bad who know but for our experience "BAD"... food was ok service ok when we eventually received our food which was over doused in what they call seasoning- ceasar salad had something like tapenade slung over the side of the plate which seemed strange .. to our disappointment we ordered coffees an desserts which were obviously bought in and felt like no or little effort was put into their preparation..... bitterly disappointing...

Celebramos 60 cumpleaños de mi marido en 'El pasado de Granary' el sábado, y pasamos una noche genial! Había 30 personas en su habitación de arriba de eventos, todo el mundo se fue a casa alabando el servicio habían recibido! La comida era realmente deliciosa, bien presentada, y rápido, independientemente de su elección. El personal fue muy servicial y agradable, tanto en la planificación antes del evento, y en la noche. Nuestro grupo de edad osciló entre 4 a 94, y teníamos muchas observaciones de nuestro grupo sobre cómo amablemente que habían sido tratadas! ¡Gracias!

Mi marido y yo hicimos el Old Barn para el almuerzo de domingo hoy. No habíamos estado allí por mucho tiempo y me pregunto qué sería, teniendo en cuenta algunas de las críticas recientes y mixtas. Nuestro servicio es de primera clase, la comida era excelente (cálida pato ensalada y crema de sopa de verduras, seguido por un delicioso cordero y ternera, suntuosa y chocolate caliente fudge cake y cálida casero con gofres Honeycomb). Excelente servicio, suntuosa comida, y con una excelente relación calidad-precio. Sin duda alguna no dejar como mucho tiempo hasta que volvamos.

Had an evening meal on Saturday 15 august 2015, , after having a lovely family day at gosford park, the food was good but the female service attendant had absolutely no customer skills, we encourage our down syndrome daughter to be polite at all times, she tried to show the female hostess she had a princess dress on, to which the hostess ignored her, my daughter sat back and wept, so sad you don't know customer service skills to a person with a disability shame on you. From a county Armagh mother. Response from your customer service advisor would be appreciated.

We were told to book for this fab food house. Errrm well the decor was drab and shabby staff were ok. We ordered starters which arrived quite quick though served on dirty grease smeared plates. The starters were pretty average deep fried mushrooms n squares of some kind of pork. Then onto the mains humm.... linguine pasta prawns and overload spring onions someone needs to tell the chef his linguine was infact tagliatelli ..... i had fillet beef with garlic butter which contained no garlic. Pretty average to be fair and so not worth 46.00. Im a chef and i do not rate this food ........ if you charge top prices then deliver top food !!!!!

A fabulous dining experience from start to finish. Dined with my partner on 18.04.15 @ around 8pm. We were a little late but staff were very understanding. We both had full 3 courses. Flavours in the chicken starter were great, steaks for main were perfectly cooked (good portions too) and the range of sumptuous desserts left me with a tough choice! (I went with creme brûlée!) Staff were friendly and attentive. Very well managed. We will definitely be back :)

Visited this establishment with my partner for this first time this evening. My first impressions when I walked through the door was that it was a clean and classy establishment with friendly staff.We ordered a starter (goujons were fantastic - as were the prawns) just enough to tickle your tastebuds!As it was 7:30pm on a Friday, we were able to avail of the Steak Platter (avail tues-fri between 4-9).We chose the fillet steak platter for two. Two fillet steaks, two sides and two sauces all for £36.And boy was it fantastic value for money?! The steak was very large and cooked to absolute perfection! One tiny downside is that it took 35 mins for our dinner plates to be cleared (being honest we were too full to move any any distance, even in half an hour..). Definitely put this restaurant on your "places to eat list" .. You certainly will not regret it!

Son took me here for mothers day lunch. Very busy which was great to see. The food was lovely, tasty and well presented on hot plates. The boys said they hadnt had such a good feed in ages. One small point the wooden floor was very slippy in high heels which made it difficult to walk and carry plate.

Visited last week with my wife (our second visit) and a friend to celebrate a recent achievement of his. We enjoyed our steak meal and early bird menu options, starters were excellent and very well presented, our steaks were cooked to our liking as requested (one sirloin and one ribeye) and my wife really enjoyed the trio of burgers. Cheesecake was excellent and the Terry's chocolate orange themed desert was good, just not as sweet as I expected. Great coffee and an excellent pint of Guinness with attentive service throughout. Thank you and we plan to return again.

At the end of each month myself and a couple of my friends go out for a steak night.. on the 26th of Feb three of us opted for the old barn.Upon arrival i was seated at the bar until my friends arrived, we were then seated at a booth which was a little awkward sliding into but to be fair the three of us a big units lolMyself and one other had the 14oz steak and my other friend had the venison.. what can i say but yum we also ordered starters all of which were awesome. The mains were all cooked to our liking and side were great aswell.. the service was great, food service in good time and had no problems at all.Deserts again went down a treat we all were very happy and vowed to return for another steak night as the was good variety on the menu. . Many thanks

Visited here with my husband and three children. My husband and I had a groupon voucher and paid separately for the children.Waited quite a while on the food and when it arrived it was disappointing. We ordered medium steaks with peppered sauce and garlic potatoe side. The steaks were not cooked medium, the peppered sauce was tasteless and the side was deep fried potatoes chunks with a drizzle of garlic, not what I would call garlic potatoes. The children's meals were pretty average and overpriced for what they were.Honestly would not hurry back.

My family and I went here on Christmas Day. It was our first time there. The restaurant is very nice, the food was lovely and we had a great time. We had our starter and dessert delivered and the main course was a carvery. I understand that not many restaurants at all open on Christmas Day so it was very good that the Old Barn was opened. We paid £150 for our meals but that it is to be expected due to it being a special occasion. I would like to come back again!

Just used a Groupon Voucher..Which gave us Steak, side and sauce. We had a starter beforehand....We waited 35 minutes on it....I had warm Duck to start...To be honest it had no flavour. I ordered sweet chilli gratan with my steak which came out as deep fried potato chunks, chilli sauce with melted cheese . Not my take on gratan!!!! The service was terrible and were never asked during the meal was everything alright....To be totally honest. I wouldn't rush back.

I brought my friend here last night for dinner for her birthday. We had asked for a booth when we booked and the girl said she'd do her best but it depended how busy it was on the night. (I can appreciate that totally as we were a party of 2 and one booth was set up for 6). When we arrived, we were shown to the bar and seated in a few minutes .... in a booth, yeah!! We went for the steak menu which is £24.95 for a starter, steak side + sauce, and dessert. This is great value as the steaks alone are around £20. I had vegetable soup with a dinky individual granary loaf (did say wheaten bread on the menu) which was gorgeous. My friend had the mushrooms on toast starter which went down a treat. Our mains were beef medallions topped with tobacco onions, pepper sauce and garlic potatoes and a sirloin with pepper sauce and chilli potatoes. All gorgeous except my friend asked for her steak medium rare and it was more medium to well. Dessert was fab. Chocolate fudge cake and white chocolate cheesecake. We would highly recommend this restaurant. Beautiful food, lovely setting, friendly helpful but unobtrusive staff. The rating would have been 5 except for the steak being cooked incorrectly.

Visited for lunch and "average" sums up the entire experience.The dining area at the front was cold, service was focused on the back dining area, the food was under seasoned and it was just a really ordinary experience. The 8oz sirloin was a decent piece of meat but it had no flavour as there appeared to be no seasoning added. Criminal really. Why there was half an uncooked tomato on my plate I'll never know. Won't be back as N.I. is absolutely brimming with good restaurants and this simply doesn't make the cut.

No idea what this restaurant is trying to be or where it's going. An aquarium in the middle lit up like those you find occasionally in an 80's Chinese restaurant, old exposed beams with culinary-type prose inscribed upon, pink painted walls with 70's style wicker lampshades, cow print chairs and a bit of stained glass. We were certainly visually entertained whilst we ate!! There were only 2 other diners in the restaurant whilst we had our meal (7pm) so this added to the lack of atmosphere.A menu which sadly reads better than it delivers. Basic and a bit crude at best, but even at that it was mediocre. My daughter (10) even commented that her meal didn't really taste as it should. Shame really as it promises so much with "Ulster Chef of the Year" (or similar) awards crowding the entrance foyer which sets an expectation which is just not met.Staff were pleasant and attentive but unfortunately we won't be back.

Decided to take my family to this restaurant after a delay of some 2 years having previously dined here and not had a particularly good experience. My wife and I took our 4 children at lunchtime on Sunday past to try the carvery again having recently heard some good reports. We were greeted immediately at the door and shown to our seats which happen to have been the same seats were sat at last time. Thankfully this was the only similarity to our previous experience as the food, service and atmosphere on this occasion was really very good. All of my family enjoyed this occasion and the fact that it was reasonably priced too will ensure we return to this restaurant.

My wife and I went here on a Groupon deal for lunch on a Saturday. The restaurant is nicely decorated in a slightly rustic/modern style and is well maintained inside and out. Parking was available in the supermarket carpark adjacent to the restaurant.There was no feeling of being a second class citizen for using a Groupon deal which I've experienced in other places, we were made welcome and treated the same as every other patron, the only difference being the menu, which was expected.We both had 8oz Sirloin steaks with a side and sauce. The food was brought to the table quickly, and was perfectly cooked, with the steaks being precisely what was ordered (rare and medium rare). The sides were good and the sauces excellent. The food was obviously of high quality and well prepared, and I'll definitely be back to sample other items on the menu.The staff were attentive and friendly without appearing pushy. There appeared to be some issues with the serving staff tablet based ordering system, but we got the right food at the right time so this did not negatively impact our experience.All in all, this was an excellent lunch in lovely surroundings, and I'll happily come back for an evening dinner to sample other items on the menu.Thank you very much!

My wife and I and another couple went from Dungannon to Markethill to try this restaurant, all I can say is all my local restaurant owners should go to the Old Barn to see how it's done. The atmosphere was lovely the staff were friendly and the food was wonderful. The waiting time the presentation the flavours and quality of the meal was excellent. I enjoy fine food and I'm more than capable of cooking a dish myself which is why when i go out I like to get something better than what I could do myself. I suggest you treat yourself and visit this restaurant, you won't be disappointed. Looking forward to going back. And as for the lady who took our order and our conversation about dessoert and "Don't know what your missing," well we laughed about that today already, she will remember I'm sure! ThanksSuggestion, ask people not to stand and smoke directly at the door into the restaurant premises, maybe it's just me being fussy, but I don't like walking through that cloud of smoke which gathers when 3-4 people smoke together. This does in no way take away from our beautiful meal.

Just bank from a very beautiful evening. Was very excited to bring my husband along to sample the new menu as I had already tried it and he hadn't. We were welcomed instantly at the door by our waitress Joanne who was fantastic. When placing our order I informed Joanne that I have severe food allergies to tomato,fruit and nuts. (I'm not the easiest customer to please lol) anyway Joanne was absolutely fantastic and done everything she could to meet my needs. I ordered the goujons starter which was beautiful and the presentation definitely had the wow factor. I had steak which was cooked to perfection for my main and dessert was Terry's chocolate orange torte. The only fruit I can eat and it was amazing. My husband absolutely loved it and I'm surprised he didn't lick the plate lol. it was beautiful as always. The staff are a real credit to them and couldn't have chosen a better place to have our meal. Was just perfect!!! Thank you Joanne and also special thanks to Kerry aswell. See you all soon :-) x

We had a table of about 10 pre booked and on arrival we got drinks etc. There was then a 30 minute wait for our starters, totally unacceptable given that they were not busy and only 4 of us got a starter.If this wasn't bad enough there was an additional 50 minute wait for the main courses, and again given that we all opted for steaks we could not fathom the delay.When I asked the waitress if they were understaffed she told me that they had had a lot of walk ins(which they hadn't), offered no apology and left.The food itself was very good, but the service and time it took was crazy. Even between courses the food lay on the table for 15-20 mins after we were finished before anyone bothered to clear up.I will NEVER be back to this place and nor will any of the others, we all left very disappointed. The lack of even a bit of info from the manager was terrible, if he had at least explained what the cause of the delay was that would have been ok, but he treated his customers very poorly in my opinion

The more often one goes to a restaurant, the better one is able to judge it's overall performance. Now this review reflects my second visit to the Old Barn Steakhouse mid-week and for my son's birthday - he had travelled from England. On entering the restaurant we had to wait 5-10 minutes on someone meeting and greeting us, and I observed that two tables in the immediate waiting area were uncleared from the previous diners. We were eventually seated, and it appeared that there was only one person on duty and it wasn't overly busy - yet we had to wait quite a while to be served!On the plus side, the wines were wonderful and we would recommend the Heart of Stone Sauvignon Blanc and the Vina Bujunda Rioja Crianza.The starters for the boys was the shredded salted chilli chicken, served with mixed leaves, wasabi mayo, sweey chilli and ginger and soy dressing. Very tasty! On the mains side, the 10oz Smoked Sirloin (Hereford beef 28 day-aged) and served with grilled tomato, sautéed mushrooms, onion rings, salad garnish, peppered sauce and garlic potatoes and champ were enjoyed by the two boys! The ladies enjoyed the breaded chicken fillet goujons with a sweet chilli dip and the Old Barn steak sandwich, consisting of strips of sirloin, sautéed mushrooms, onions in house gravy and ciabatta bread. The ladies both ordered the chips!Desserts enjoyed by the ladies were the pavlova and the crème brulee!The food, as always, was excellent, and deserving of an excellent rating! However ...... the service was slow - we waited almost an hour to receive our starters - and when we were leaving the uncleared tables were still uncleared! I sent the owner a message on Facebook and had a lengthy conversation with his wife, who apologised, but no reparation was offered or received! Overall the experience was 'average' rather than 'very good' or 'excellent' (which the food deserved!) I spent almost £150 that night, and if I'm being honest, I didn't get £150 worth of enjoyment or experience!We will return, but the Old Barn Steakhouse will have to do better or I'll be spending my money elsewhere!Hoping for an improvement!

Pleasant surroundings, food pretty good, helpful and polite staff, Limited menu to a degree but should be something for all. I got champ but it wasn't freshly made - appeared to have been cooked and reheated for serving.£5 premium of kids menu for option of a steak was a bit much considering the steak was quite small.All in all as good as others in locality -(Newry, etc)

We were a table of 8 adults and 2 kids, only 3 people got starters while everyone else went for mains. It was a week night yet we waited over an hour for the mains,by that stage the kids were long finished their food and the majority of the adults were very hungry. We commented to the witness when she asked how it was,her response was "there were a lot of walk ins". Perhaps an apology would have been nice but we ended up wishing we hadn't said anything. Just poor service. I know delays are mainly due to the kitchen but the serving staff should have the sense to acknowledge people waiting for long periods of time. Unfortunately we will not return even though the food was nice but we couldn't wait to get away

We dined here early on a Saturday evening so we could eat from the Early Bird Menu which is served to 7pm. This was our first visit and first impressions were great. We were greeted by a friendly waitress who brought us to our table. The decor is lovely and there is plenty of space between tables. The menu had a nice selection of dishes on offer, and it was reasonably priced at £13.95 for 2 courses. Unfortunately we were disappointed with the food. Our starters of garlic bread & garlic mushrooms were fine. For mains we had the sirloin steak (£3 supplement), the lasagne and an extra side of onion rings. The steak had good flavour but was tough and grainy. The lasagne had very little meat, and too much cheese. The onion rings were terrible, possibly the oil wasn't hot enough as the batter was like bread and not crispy as it should have been. This is a nice restaurant, shame that our meal was just average.

Lovely restaurant, friendly staff and scrumptious food (vegetable broth and sweet chilli chicken skewer, followed by roast lamb and roast beef, and raspberry ruffle cheesecake and the most delicious warm spiced apple and cinnamon cake with butterscotch sauce), but (note to chef - please, please change the vegetables!!! If you were having family or friends coming every Sunday, you wouldn't serve the same veg week after week after week after ........) This is the only thing that stops us coming more often.

Don't normally post reviews but couldn't let my recent visit with you go without comment. It was fantastic. We had two young boys with us and are normally very nervous about taking them somewhere as nice as this, the staff put us at ease immediately. My husband and I both had steaks, which were cooked perfectly. The children's meals were also delicious and both children cleared their plates (a rarity). The deserts were to die for. I really cannot wait to come back with the extended family.... or just my husband and I. Its a beautiful restaurant just over flowing in style and comfort.

We couldn't fault the food in anyway at all. We had Garlic bread with cheese and breaded Mushrooms to start. A steak (cooked perfectly). My wife who is vegetarian had the veggie Wellington and was delighted they had something different for Vegetarians as too often restaurants have the same old stuff to suit her. The service was also first class with the waiting team very attentive and polite. We will be back soon. to enjoy this lovely restaurant. P.S A cracking pint (or 2) of Guinness also.

Visited this restaurant on the 4th July for Lunch. Was very disappointed. We all had the Roast Beef special but unfortunately there was nothing special about it. We had to wait over 25 minutes for it and when It did eventually arrive it was freezing we had to send it back to the kitchen. Sadly It will be a long time before we return if ever !!!

My husband and I flew over from New York to have an intimate wedding with family and friends living closely. We chose the Old Barn in Markethill to have a meal for around 40 guests. Everything was organized via email with the restaurant, every enquiry was answered fully and quickly even with the time difference. Nothing was too much trouble, including setting up centerpieces & name cards. People flew in from Scotland, England, USA and everybody agreed that the food was to die for. The staff worked so hard to bring meals up and down the stairs and serve everybody quickly and at the same time. Then when the party moved downstairs, the DJ I had trusted them to book for us was a real hit. The bar staff were great fun and their was no waiting to be served which I see happening often at weddings and think is a real buzz kill. The best thing about the meal, hands down, was the chocolate meringue with fresh cream & strawberries. Crunchy on the outside & warm and chewy in the middle. Later I found out it was the chef's first attempt at that particular desert. Shout out to the chef, you nailed it!We had the best time, I was so happy with our day and wish we could do it all again. We cannot thank you enough for making the day such a hit. All of our guests left happy, well fed and swore they'd be back again.Thank you!!!

We visited this restaurant while camping at Gosford Forest Park. We went for the early bird option and were very impressed with the range and prices. My husband had the trio of burgers, fantastic especially the venison burger he said. I had the lasagne, beautiful. My daughter had the sausage and chips, all kids meals come with a drink and icecream. For dessert, we had pavlova and baked Alaska, omg, to die for. Overall, great food, atmosphere and prices. Well worth a visit.

A group of us visited the Old Barn Steakhouse for dinner in April 2014.We all had the 'Steak Deal' which turned out to be great value for money (A starter, main, side, sauce and dessert for 23.95 GBP). The steaks were well cooked and the sides and starters were great! (Highly recommend the breaded mushroom starter).My tips- the medium rare is really on the rare side (my husband thought it was perfect, I would have preferred mine a little more towards the well done side).My other tip- to save money arrive before 7pm and have the Early Bird Menu which is fantastic value for money.Great food, great ambience! I will definitely be back next time I visit Northern Ireland!

Our party of three called in on a Sunday evening after a day out in Dublin. With no reservation, we were told a table would be ready in 10-15 minutes so we decided to wait at the bar. I waited patiently for the barman to serve us drinks but 10 minutes later we were still waiting and other customers were served who arrived after us.We were pleased to be shown a table after 10 minutes and finally a drinks order was taken followed by our food order. Two waiters said they would bring a jug of water but this failed to arrive.Where things went downhill badly was the length of time our food took to arrive. It was an astounding 45 minutes for fish, mini burgers and chicken goujons to be served. Another minute and we probably would have walked out!My wife had no complaints with her fish and chips, but my chicken goujons were dry and uninspiring. The mini burgers did not get rave reviews either.The table beside us were on the receipt of amateur service levels also when their main courses arrived before their starters!Not a memorable visit to this popular restaurant by any means and regrettably we will not be rushing back.

We were at the old barn this week for a family meal which was for a birthday. The food was good but not as good as our last visit. Service was poor and only reason I say this was that there was another party sitting near by and the service they got was above and beyond.Our waiter hardly spoke and it was another waitress who asked if our meals were ok. I was slightly annoyed to as it was a celebration and we had balloons etc at the table not once were we asked whose birthday it was etc... Been to other restaurants in similar circumstances and been offered a free desert for the birthday girl or boy or even drink.We weren't told if there were any specials or anything on that day.Don't get me wrong I didn't expect to get treated like a royalty but it was a special day for a member of our family and the service was well below standard compared to our last visit.Couldn't fault the steak it was Yummy.... Garlic chips need garlic in them :( ....Puddings well enough said they were SO good .So what would I say to Old Barn ? Your food is good. But please treat everyone who books a meal the same as we are still paying customers who deserve the same standard as everyone else.

Facebook has a lot to answer for! In the case of the Old Barn, Markethill, I will always remember with delight the day we became friends! Just a few days before Christmas, I was frantically trying to book a table for two for December 27th ... my birthday! ... and no-one was either taking bookings or were going to be open that night. that is, except The Old Barn! I dropped them a message on Facebook, and the rest they say is history!James (the owner) assured me that we would be looked after ... and we were. From first entering to finally leaving we were treated really well. Amanda was our server on the night and she was (and I'm sure she is) really friendly, but yet professional. I highly recommend here for her service.My wife had the mushrooms for her appetizer and I had the prawn and salmon timbale ... probably the best starter I have ever had! Both the quality and quantity was superb!Main courses had to be steak, after all it is a steakhouse! My wife had a the steak medallion tower, which was exquisite, and I had the smoked sirloin, which was simply out of this world! Never had I tasted such succulent, tender and tasty sirloin steak, and even reminiscing now is making my mouth water!We also enjoyed an excellent Crianza!The appearance, both external and internal, is pleasing to the eye, and the ambience is so, so warm and friendly.Unfortunately, we have not been back since, but we are booked in for my Son's birthday in June, and we are looking forward to it expectantly.A real 5-star experience. Very highly recommended. And who said Facebook is a blight on society? Not me!

Husband took me here for mother's day, it was our first visit and it wont be the last!! from the welcome greeting on arrival, our table was ready as soon as went in, staff are exemplary, our starter order taken right away, following these very tasty( veggie broth for me,prawn cocktail for the hubby) starters we took our place for the carvery,,what a selection on offer, we both went for the turkey and ham, two thick slices of each, potatoes (lovely creamy mash) roast potato, carrot/parsnip/turnip medley, and a cabbage side, gravy and cocktail sausages all on offer,( other meats on offer were lamb,or sirloin roast), I didnt think i'd finish mine,,but managed it,,then beautiful desserts finished our meal, again very tasty, i had pavlova, hubby had baked alaska, we shared a little from one another's plate and i can honestly say it was the best! Along with a glass of orange for me and a coke for hubby total cost was £38.70.. a snip! we have been charged more in other places for a less substantial offering which didnt come close to the old barn's in taste and quality. a very clean and cosy place to eat, soft music in the background and staff doing their duties without fuss,even leaving a member of staff thanked us for coming and wished us a happy day, an all round great day for us, we will be back!!!

On a rare date night we decided on a road trip for our night out, and it was well worth the journey. The old barn was perfect from start to finish. The decor is lovely and the staff were friendly from start to finish, great opening impression. Menu is varied but we decided on the steak deal. For starter i ordered cheesy garlic bread and my husband had garlic mushrooms. They may not be the most exotic starters but they were delicious and proves the importance of keeping things simple and doing it perfectly. Next to the main event- the steak , I am very picky about my steak and the way its cooked and I can only remember two restaurants where it was passable. I was not disappointed at the old barn, great quality meat , melt in the mouth. I like mine rare and my better half prefers it cremated , both serving were correct to order and plentiful. We asked for a wee gap before dessert, which was no bother. Dessert was beautiful, great end to the the meal. Wee note to the management- your staff are very professional, interested and provide a lovely relaxed atmosphere and i think a pay bonus would be well deserved. Will be back and would recommend

My partner and I visited the Old Barn on a Saturday night. Staff were very friendly, and led is to our table straight away. Orders were taken in the same fashion. The place has a nice ambiance, soft music in the background, and we were parked next to the tropical fish tank... Result! Fairly busy that night, but a member of staff was never far away. The food was reasonably priced and the fillet steak was spot on. Nice to see most of a meal included in the advertised price. The only reservation was the cost of a sauce for the steak... £2 plus seems a bit excessive - especially when you're buying the fillet. That said, we will be going back. So, that was a good night out!

Visited the Old Barn restaurant for what was my third time in a matter of weeks, service and food is excellent and staff are very welcoming and friendly, however during my most recent visit with my Husband and 22 month old son I was very disappointed to be charged £1.95 for a plate which we didn't even use. My husband and I ordered two carvery dinners and as my son had been fed before hand we did not order him a meal, however decided to feed him a few bits of our dinner, mainly the cocktail sausages. My husband requested a small plate to place the bits of food on, however the plate was actually too big to fit onto the high chair tray and was ceramic so we set it aside in fear of the plate falling off the tray and smashing and did not use it. When we finished our meals and went to pay we were horrified to learn of this additional charge of £1.95 for a plate we did not use. When we explained that we didn't even use the plate as it was too big to sit onto the tray and we didn't take any additional food the waitress simply just said she understood but there was nothing she could do and we had to pay for it. Had we have known we would have been charged £1.95 and warned of this on request for the plate we would have requested a small plate which would have fitted on the tray and actually taken the food we were been charged for!! From reading other Trip advisor reviews this is an issue others have complained about and the management explained in their response that they feel the charge is reasonable however I completely disagree, particularly when our son was only 22 months old and would not have even ate £1.95 worth of food, plus if they are going to charge for a plate they firstly tell you this on request and should invest in child friendly plates which actually fit on their high chair trays.

I recently took my mum and 2 year old here for sunday dinner. We opted for the 2course. although the food itself was lovely I cant say the same for the staff. As my 2 year old is a fussy eater (like many 2year olds) i didnt order him a dinner and decided to try him with mash and meat from my dinner and my mums. When we were finished we ordered our 2 deserts and needless to say if we had have new how long it would have taken them to bring us up the deserts we would not have ordered them, we waited 20/25minutes. when we had desert finished i went downstairs to pay and was shocked to find i had been charged £1.50 per glass of delute juice for my son, then also charged for my son having a main meal. When i queried why i was charged for my son i was told there was a charge per plate on the table even though he was only eating bits of my dinner. I said i was not paying for a dinner he had not recieved and was told then that they would only charge for a baby plate (£1.95). I had already wasted enough time so paid what they asked for and left but I will most definately not be in a rush back and will be sure to let friends no to expect to be charged if they give their kids food from their plate!!!!!!! and to look out for "hidden charges". :(

I've been meaning to write a review for the Old Barn Steakhouse for months! This is my local restaurant and I cant give it enough credit! Whatever the occasion this is the place to go. The food is beautiful and there's a big variety on all of the menus. The steak deal that they provide is excellent value and is great when you want to be filled right up! The staff are lovely, very attentive and are always making sure that you are ok. The manager/head waitress Ruth is one of the nicest people that I have met, her genuine concern for the customers is a breath of fresh air! Also the other manager Peter is lovely and makes you feel very at home! If your looking lovely staff and a brilliant meal then this is the place to go!

I recently had my daughters 21st birthday here. We were more than happy with the deal we received, which was if your party made more than £400 at the bar the buffet would be free, however when we received the buffet, some of the sandwiches were blue-moulded and this came to the attention of some of our friends at the party. After bringing it to management attention there has still been nothing done about the incident to date. Regardless that we did not have to pay for the buffet I feel that this was wrongly dealt with and we were not even given a reasonable explanation as to why the blue-moulded sandwiches were presented to us!

First time visit at the weekend and was very impressed. We went for the 'steak deal' which was great value for money. Not a great choice of starters on the steak deal but what we had was nicely presented and tasty. Steak cooked to perfection and thoroughly enjoyed. If I was being very picky would say the sauce was the most disappointing part of meal but didn't distract from overall enjoyment!! Fab choice for pudding and I was glad I opted for Baked Alaska which was delicious and a nice change from 'usual' desserts. Staff were pleasant and attentive. Would definitely recommend here and I hope to return very soon to try the carvery :)

We've just returned from having Sunday lunch here today and we were delighted with everything. First appearances, on such a cold December day, was that it was so cosy and welcoming. Staff were all excellent, the choice of starters was impressive, with a choice of about 6 different starters. Main course was so tasty with the vegetables done just with a bit of bite. The chef was very generous and would have given you any (or all) of the meats on display!! We overheard other diners raving about the salmon that had been specially cooked for them (just because that was what they wanted) Pudding again had lots of choice. I had one of the nicest slices of pavlova I've had in a long time with fresh fruit salad that just hit the spot! We thought it very good value for money and we found all of the staff so very friendly and helpful, and we'll definitely be back again.

The staff were attentive but not over the top we got to enjoy the food. I will definitely be back. Just one tiny thing. I asked for a medium/rare steak, more on the rare and got a medium to well. I find this though in a lot of restaurants. I didn't complain as the steak still tasted good.

Our party (4 adults) went there on a Saturday night in early December -- all of us were first-time visitors to this restaurant. Long story short -- the steaks are *excellent* --- the best we've had in a long time. They were all significantly over-done (for example, mine was ordered as medium rare and will between medium-well and well-done) but they were absolutely first-class. Accompanying side-dishes as well as the starters & desserts were all excellent.We've already had a return visit -- we took the kids to their Santa Sunday carvery yesterday and had a good meal; however, the steaks from their main menu were in a different league.Looking forward to this being a regular venue -- friendly service from pleasant staff, and a good buzz (it was busy on both of our visits).

At no time did someone explain what the voucher covered. we.knew the value of the voucher was £40 plus. We ordered started main and dessert and got a big bill at the end. Disappointed no one explained why they have a groupon menu and only the main dish applicable. Service was ok food poor and value for money was not value. Staff need to highlight why they show a full menu titled "Groupon Menu" and it only entitles you to the mains. £1.90 for an orange but got no santa bottle.

I had cause to be in Armagh recently on business, and I asked the receptionist at the hotel for a restaurant recommendation, and she suggested Old Barn Steakhouse. After a ten minute drive in a taxi, we arrived at an impressive looking stone building, which houses the restaurant. We were greeted warmly, and shown to a table in this warm and inviting building.A drink order was taken, and we sat back to investigate the large menu.Starters of fruit kebab and stuffed mushrooms arrived promptly, and both were very tasty, followed up by monkfish and fillet steak, both well seasoned and cooked perfectly. I never expected the food to be this good! Our waitress asked if we would care for dessert, and we decided to wait awhile, and then ordered a baked alaska to share...simply wonderful, and followed up by two well made AmericanosIn summation, a thoroughly enjoyable evening, with excellent food and service, in warm and hospitable surroundings....next time I am in Armagh, I know where I am going.

My walking group of 24 people arrived en masse for mid morning coffee and scones after a lovely walk along the canal. Four tables of six were set up ready for us with fresh scones. We were given the choice of coffee or tea which was served to us almost immediately. The scones were delicious and as we lingered over them, fresh tea and coffee were brought round again. The staff were helpful and friendly and there was a pleasant and efficient air about the place. Our whole group enjoyed the experience and we look forward to a return visit in a few weeks time.
