We went to the Taphouse on Tuesday with my parents. It was a special meal, however, the service and meal was not so special... We've been to the Taphouse a number of times, but this will probably be the last time! Our waitress, did not smile once, it was as if she was reading a script. Not the usual warmth. The drinks took so long to arrive. The food was average, and a bit cold. Our fillet steaks were supposed to be medium-rare, but they were medium... So disappointing. I wanted to send them back, but we had already been waiting for so long. Our main courses came out, but, unfortunately, that was all... We asked twice when our sides were coming. We were told that they were really busy and they would arrive 'when they were ready'. We had finished our fillet steaks, when the champ came out. There was no apology. I feel compelled to write this 😔 Such a disappointing evening and a waste of money.

After finishing our starters to the main meal, the serving staff just liberally tossed the main meals cutlery down from a height onto the table. With it clattering everywhere. As we began our meal we where then subjected to an artic blast as the band began to set up leaving the exit door open. I did communicate the issue but received a gruff remark let's say.

In this restaurant at least once every 2 weeks, one of our favourite restaurants, extremely disappointed after tonight, arrived to be told we couldn’t sit at our table as other people where sitting there waiting on their table, ordered a well done steak, staff called to the table and asked how it was but I didn’t get a chance to answer and I was on my first bite, half way through and got to the centre and realised it was rare in the middle, at this stage I left the remainder of the steak and ate everything else, spoke with the manager downstairs and she was of no help and as far as she’s concerned it was ok when she asked how the food was, again I was on my first bite and didn’t get to answer, we usually have the short haired lady upstairs who is fantastic, it’s a shame we had to deal with the manager downstairs tonight, will not be back either will the rest of the family,

Have been to the taphouse quite a number of times over recent years. This is now the second time in a row we’ve had awful service. Early Saturday evening restaurant exceptionally quiet. 20 mins for order to be taken and a further 45 mins for food to be served. Tobacco onions and mash not up to standard. Won’t be back.

I always meant to try here but was never passing at the right time. Last night it finally came together. We had a lovely family meal. The food was delicious and the staff were very attentive. Portions as expected were generous and hot on arrival. The Bar experienced a power outage, but the staff continued, unphased by the extraordinary situation. Food continued to arrive with joyous cheer as the lights came back on after a 20minute or so black out. Highly recommend a stop here for a family or group meal. Check bookings in advance as it seems like a very popular local restaurant.

Very disappointed with our experience and service. Two types of steak were ordered for the table and the server mixed up the order. We didn't realise the error until the end of the meal. When asked if we enjoyed our meal we explained the mix-up and also that we didn't receive the butter we asked for. The lady getting our bill apologised and said she would pass on our complaint. Given that it was quite a big mix-up I feel one of the steaks should have been deducted from the bill as the person who received rump steak instead of fillet didn't enjoy their meal. Our complaints were glossed over, we won't be back and wouldn't recommend this restaurant.

Very handy to the Seamus Heaney Home Place for a pre-show dinner. Telephone booking answered promptly and a table reserved at short notice. Staff very welcoming. Later on Friday entertainment was due: 5.30 pm popular with families: all well behaved . Sea Bass main and (generous)Chilli chicken starter both excellent - we went overboard with really good beef chips. House Sauvignon very acceptable and not overpriced. All very efficient. Cozy atmosphere. Reviews we had read were somewhat mixed but we found nothing whatever to fault. Would not hesitate to return.

I have had numerous meals in The Taphouse and always have been excellent. The menu is has all your standards plus a few more different options you dont normally see which is great to see. The staff are great, always friendly and nothing is ever a problem. Steak night on a Wednesday is great value and i would say to book to make sure you get in. The decor of the bar is beautiful and they have great entertainment at the weekends. It is surprisingly large with a bar, lounge, outside area and also bar, function room out the back. Definitely deserves the great reviews and cant wait to be back.

Met friends for a catch up, we were shown to a table upstairs, which was fine on the night but I think we should have been asked on booking if anyone had a problem with stairs. Perhaps there is a lift but I didn't notice. Saying that we were not disappointed with our visit. Everyone had a different main and these were all excellent. I had the chicken stack with bacon and mushroom sauce, it was delicious. I also had lemon meringue pie for dessert, one of my favourites, thus also was delicious, a little individual tart. Yum. This was my second visit, I'll definitely be back.

Food was delicious and well presented but service was very slow. I appreciate they were very busy, but food arrived over an hour after our reservation started. We asked for extra drinks twice and were told someone would be back to take our order but nobody came on either occasion. We were considering dessert but sat for around 20 minutes with dirty plates stacked at the end of the table and nobody came to collect them, and we eventually had to go to the till to ask for the bill. We did tell the manager who was very apologetic. It was a shame as the food was lovely!

Tap house staff are nice, food is pretty good. Steaks are probably the best thing on the menu. Eels delicious but minuscule portions. If you are a vegetarian however, don’t bother. They seem to just use whatever leftover roast veg they have and use it for all their vegetarian dishes, even tortillas! Vegetarian dishes are very obviously an afterthought. It’s a shame because the rest of the family love the food here.

Visited Saturday week ago. I'm vegetarian and only 2 options on the menu main courses neither of which I liked. I decided to go for the brie starter with chunky chips and my husband had burger and skinny fries. We put in our order and there were only 2 other tables of customers. One male staff member stood on his mobile the whole time we were in. The food came fast enough and when I cut my brie I found that it was still frozen in the middle and the chips which were far too chunky weren't cooked. Totally put me off my food,I mean neither were complicated cooking. My husbands burger was dry and tasteless but edible. I called the server over and explained and she offered me something else but I didn't take anything as there was nothing else I would eat. So my husband ate quickly and we left. When we went to pay they didn't charge for my food but that was no consolation. I certainly wouldn't be back
