This is not the first time I have been here. It was an online booking made at the beginning of January to celebrate my 60th birthday. My girlfriends took me out Saturday night past (3rd February) and it was just wonderful and perfect from start to finish. Table bedecked in balloons. I have a bad back and the request for a table with specific seating was there. Waiting staff were first class. The menu offered a wife choice plus there were 2 specials on offer on the night. The smell coming from the kitchen made it very hard to choose. All wine and soft drinks orders were taken and served correctly. My meal was superb. Pork belly bites in BBQ sauce to begin with followed by sirloin steak, battered onion rings, mushrooms and sweet chilli and sour cream chipped cubes. Full marks and compliments to the chef! Dessert was lemon meringue pie complete with birthday candle! It was fabulous. It's a difficult dessert to perfect but perfection it was. It was a really lovely evening . Four very well satisfied customers. Lovely venue with first class food which is a joy to visit. Can't wait to go back!

Arrived without booking for Sunday lunch. Very welcoming and pleasant staff. Also hard working. Lovely surroundings. Sunday lunch… I would have chosen smoked salmon starter on menu but not available. Battered mushrooms delicious as was wheaten bread. My husbands roast silverside was melt in your mouth delicious. I had a generous portion baked cod which was delicious . The supposedly sundried and white wine sauce… I’m not sure about… . The disappointment was the vegetables. Carrot and parsnip sticks which were bland and tasteless! I’m wondering Were they frozen and plunged into hot water. Abundance of tasty mash and roasties. Would have liked some more quality veg. Would be prepared to return.. but please improve the veg! Only instant coffee available so we declined that. A first visit .. I would return.

Booked for Sunday lunch along with an elderly and less mobile relative and a primary school aged child. Arrived to a warm greeting. Seated at a nice accessible table with a good view around the restaurant. I ordered the turkey and ham, my uncle had roast beef and my daughter had the chicken goujons. The lunch was lovely. Generous portions and very tasty. The service was efficient, attentive and friendly. I would happily return when in the area.

We had Sunday dinner here after seeing positive reviews on Tripadvisor. They were well deserved. Beautiful food, friendly service and spotless toilets. The crispy mushroom starter was lovely. I had the roast beef main. It was tasty and generous portions. My only minor constructive criticism would be that I got 4 thin slices of beef but would've preferred 2 thicker slices. My wife had the beef burger, my 9 year old son had the half portion of roast beef and my 7 year old daughter had the chicken goujons. All good food. To top it off there was a Delorian sports car in the front of the car park. Lovely restaurant and we'll certainly remember it if we're in the area again.

We were driving along towards Banbridge when we came upon the Anglers Rest. The building is very attractive and well maintained inside and outside. There is a large car park at the rear. We had not made a booking, and we’re delighted that the staff made us feel very welcome. We had an absolutely fantastic meal. We chose Maryland chicken, with champ, chips and a side salad. We loved the banana fritter too. The meal was delicious and the portions were just perfect. All the staff we spoke to were very friendly, warm and welcoming. I had a pot of coffee as I was driving. My wife had a nice glass of wine from the bar. The meal and drinks were very keenly priced, giving exceptionally value. We can both thoroughly recommend the Anglers Rest. We had a great experience there.

I had the pleasure of visiting the Anglers Rest twice in the past few weeks. A Friday evening a couple of weeks ago and again last Sunday night. The food in this place is to die for and the service and hospitality exceptional. The first visit was with my partner, her daughter and boyfriend. The steaks were unbelievable , cooked to perfection and lovely with champ and/or garlic cubes. Last Sunday night we were back and we both had Chicken Maryland and the irresistible garlic potatoes. I cannot recommend the Anglers highly enough and the amazing staff who will make your visit a warm welcoming experience, and the Guinness here is as good as anywhere in the area.

I came here with a few friends for a Sunday meal not knowing what to expect. I ordered a steak sandwich with chips and a side of garlic potatoes and vegetables. The steak came on garlic bread( which I must say was different something unique but a great addition) the steak was fantastic and the steak sauce on the side made the meal even better it was full of flavour it’s the best steak sandwich I’ve had for awhile. The side of garlic potatoes were lovely a great side portion. For desert I decided to order a chocolate brownie with ice cream and chocolate sauce on top which was very very good. The service was top class the food was great, the staff were amazing and were also very helpful. A great meal for a good price I will be back!

We went to the Angler's Rest for a family birthday and we're very disappointed. We had the garlic mushrooms to start which were actively unpleasant. The mushrooms were sliced and covered in a bland white sauce that tasted like it came from a packet. The portions were big but the pork fillet was overcooked and dry and the chicken dish was very bland. My son was excited as they had jelly on the kid's menu, but when we asked for it we were told that they 'didn't usually have jelly' even though it was clearly advertised.The only thing I couldn't fault at all were the staff, who could not have been nicer or more helpful.A triumph of quantity over quality.

We wont visit this restaurant again. We got a brie starter - 2 huge pieces or brie with a tiny drizzle of sauce. Both starters had a salad which wasn't dressed. For main we got ribs and a steak sandwich. The ribs were once again huge, but with hardly any sauce. The steak sandwich was a bit of steak of top of garlic bread - not sliced. Half was cooked medium and the other half well done. It doesn't come with a sauce, so I ordered Diane sauce - it tasted very unpleasant!!! Once again, both main courses came with a salad which wasn't dressed (leaves, sliced pepper and onion). This was a very disappointing meal.

Visited today for lunch with my family and was really disappointed with the food. I had one of the specials which read well flatbread with chilli beef, and was told by a waitress it was really good but at no point was it suggested the flatbread was from Tesco or somewhere cause it certainly wasn’t homemade. Gross. The sides weren’t much better garlic cubes frozen not fresh and my daughters burger burnt. I won’t be back, the only positive, was the waiting staff were lovely and very efficient.

Called in for Sunday Lunch and was very disappointed in the food and decor. The turkey and side orders would have fed a family of four. Far to much food which was tasteless. My husband had Chowder which was served with garlic bread and tomato and watercress on the side. Very strange combination. When I read reviews which said great food and very cosy place I was gobsmacked. I thought it was neither and will not be back. The bottles of beer were warm too. The lady gave us £3 off the bill which was insulting after I told her Chowder tastless and to much food. 0 out of 10.

My husband and I decided to go out for a last minute dinner and had not booked. We where seated quickly and our waitress Trish was absolutely lovely and very helpful. The menu was limited but had all the favourites. Between us we ordered the ribs and wings for starter - the ribs were tasty but portion small (but acceptable for a starter), wings were ok at best and the skin "slimy". For the main my husband had the burger which he said was over cooked but a large portion including chips. I had the chili chicken which was very disappointing, it lacked flavour and the chicken looked unappealing and I could not finish it. the portion size was generous and it was piping hot, otherwise it fell short of my expectation. For 2 starters, 2 glasses of wine and a soft drink it cost £42, which for a disappointing meal felt over priced. We appreciated being seated quickly despite not booking, the prompt service and the piping hot food. However the quality and taste of the food did not compare. A real shame. We will not be back.

Don't get me wrong, The Anglers Inn is a cozy and relaxing dining experience, but can't you get that in the comfort of your own home? It was okay, it's just very average and doesn't stand out. The menu doesn't excel as it has your classics and that's about it. I just see it as a waste of money if I'm honest. Order a Chinese or pizza instead

Staff where very friendly and we submitted our order and was served by Deirdre who was very chatty and entertaining and knowledgeable about all aspects of the menu and service. Our meal arrived promptly and was delicious. Food was generous servings and well priced and freshly cooked which helped.We opted for desserts and coffees as well and bill was very reasonable and we gave Deirdre a generous tip for looking after us so well. Toilets where spotless the only fault was people smoking at the front door of the restaurant which meant having to inhale their fumes. Although there where smoking area nearby.Will certainly call again as it was a very pleasant experience. 9.75/10

Had a family meal at The Angler's Rest after booking the day before. The four of us were given a very friendly and warm greeting and our drinks order was followed up within minutes , while we waited to be seated to our table. The atmosphere in this restaurant is lovely, adequately lit and spacious, and yet feels very cosy and warm. You just feel at home. The staff are wonderfully friendly, efficient and very attentive. We had a 3 course meal, the food was beautiful, portions not too big or too small. The surprise for us was the bill at the end. It came in at just about £26.50 each (1 alcoholic beverage each, we had water for the table after that), which is fantastic and wonderful value. We will definitely visit again!

Had been meaning to go here for a while due to the great reviews.On arrival we were warmly greeted and seated with a menu while a table was prepared. The waitress showed us the specials on the board which my wife decided to try.It was chilli pork chop with veg, I got ribs and chicken wings.When it was brought out we were gobsmacked, my wife had 3 slices of pork( the sort you see mass produced and frozen for big events) with some watery chilli round it,watercress and 3 roast spuds! I had ribs with barbecue sauce over them and wings with really thick chilli sauce. Who thinks of these dishes and why?I think the waitress knew they were serving rubbish and came over to see if everything was alright. As usual we said nothing picked at our food,deciding to vote with our feet. The main reason for the review is to balance out the 5 star reviews for this place which to be honest are far from true. Staff were nice but thats all. Will never be back.

My daughter and I called for late lunch, only to find that food had finished until 5pm. When we got back in our hire car, it wouldn't start and we had no signal on our mobile phones. I went to ask if there was a phone in the pub we could use and the owner insisted on making us a pot of tea and gave us the phone. He apologised that the chef wasn't in until around 4.30 pm but that he could make us something as soon as he arrived. We had to wait almost 3 hours for the breakdown company to arrive but we couldn't have felt more at home. The chef came in at 4.30 and insisted in making us a meal. As we didn't know how long it would be before the breakdown company arrived, we decided to share the beef croquettes in peppercorn sauce off the specials menu. They were absolutely delicious. I can't thank the owner and chef enough for their kindness and hospitality. We will be back in Northern Ireland in May and hope we can return for lunch when things are a bit less stressful. Thank you!

The menu had plenty of options to choose from and when the food arrived, it was on full plates, with additional plates arriving for the vegetables. When the dessert menu came it had bread & butter pudding on it, bringing a brillant close to a perfect meal. If you go away hungry then its your own fault.

We passed this restaurant many times over the years and always said someday we would call in for food. Well, we did and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly and efficient. What more could you ask for. We will be back.

A very limited pub style menu on offer in this much hyped eatery. The food that is on offer is well cooked but lacking in any whoa factor or finesse.

I regularly eat here, and the staff is always fantastic, along with a guaranteed great meal. It is always a great place to take a large family setting, or birthday party where it can cater are groups.

Hadn't been here for ages. Then we organised and booked a birthday meal for my father in law. I forgot how great the food and service was..!!..A warm welcome by ALL staff who were nothing short of consummate professionals. The food was of excellent standard and plenty of it. The place was extremely busy but nothing was a problem for the staff who served us. Absolutely delighted to have come here and I certainly won't leave it as long to my next visit :-)

our Church uses the Anglers rest for a lot of Venues, Car boot sale, Christmas Socials or simply an evening meal. The staff at the Anglers Rest are fantastic. They go the extra mile to ensure that your meal is great. The food is of a very good standard as is the menu. All good home cooked food. a great place for a evening meal

A group of 6 friends called at the Angler's Rest for an evening meal on Easter Monday evening. Of course it was full but the waiting time was only 15 minutes so we stayed. A wise decision - we were seated in 10 minutes and our meal was served only 20 minutes later. The serving ladies were superb. Advice was asked and given on a variety of dishes. Their patience and professionalism were remarkable(after a hard day's work). We felt immediately at home and thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

Visited here with wife and son (age 7) on a Sunday. Was going to call on spec but decided to ring ahead, glad I did as they were fully booked. Managed to squeeze me in. When we got there the place was bunged solid. Friendly staff took our order as we waited then prepared our table. Will definitely be back, the food was top quality matched by the friendly efficient service when the staff were under extreme pressure. Would highly recommend.

If you have a large family, this is the place to go on a Saturday night - one of those large menus that suits everyone, including groups of children. Bar choice good also - however this is a child friendly restaurant. Good menu, generous portions however food is not always a very high standard and seems based more on quantity than size.

Started going here about 20 years ago, before it grew into the place it now is. The expansion did not affect the atmosphere or quality of food served up one bit. Andrew and his friendly and efficient staff still give excellent service.
