The Coach House Brasserie in Limavady

Over the past few months, we’ve observed a noticeable decline in food quality at the restaurant. The menu has been reduced, and the presentation of dishes could certainly be improved. For example, the Cock and Bull dish has had the mash removed, yet the price has increased by 20%. When we visited recently, the lettuce in our meal had a noticeable odour, with signs of rot on some leaves. My mother’s meal also arrived incorrectly, with simple requests—like serving the sauce separately—being ignored. Our server was professional, friendly, and attentive, noting all our requests. However, when the food arrived, it seemed generic, and none of the amendments were applied. Most of the steak was served at room temperature and wasn’t cooked as requested, which was extremely disappointing. Additionally, the sauce was so thin that it was closer to flavoured water. I understand that the hotel may be up for sale, but it feels like management has already “clocked off,” and the lack of care is evident. This was a 40th birthday celebration with 16 guests. Unfortunately, there was no background music or atmosphere, and we were placed in a side room without any acknowledgment of the special occasion. As regular visitors, it’s disheartening to see the steady decline in both food quality and the overall experience. I’m now seriously considering other venues for future events and dinning out.

This is a great place for Dinner out. The catch of the day was amazing and the service top notch.

Met up with friends for a meal. Everyone enjoyed the good huge portions very tasty will certainly visit again when we come to limavady.

Young staff not focusing on their job I'm afraid to report. And no sign of a supervisor to keep them alert. A lot of Lipstick on the glass. Made to wait at the bar and then shown to to other side for service. As twenty plus years in the hospitality trade. It doesn't take a lot to keep things sharp . It's what we deserve as customers.

Had a mid week meal and it was great, service was fine but a smile now and again from the waiter would have earned another star!

We'd a really nice dinner there on a Sunday evening. We were in a bit of a rush, so only had a main course. Food was very good Woukd have liked to have time fir dessert but maybe another time

Love the food. Staff exceptional

Appalling!!!!!!! Booked table of 3 adults and 3 children yesterday....was sent to a filthy table. Waited a while until someone came over to take our order. While we waited for dinner to arrive.... there was alot of young staff standing around and sniggering. Talking about there weekend and was talking very loud and laughing where I saw customers looking to see what was going on. Eventually got dinner, me and my mum got a salad, while my dad got fish and chips , kids got goujons and chips. Mum said salad was not as nice as the last day she got one. Mine was a massive amount of lettuce, few croutons, half a bottle of ceasar sauce on it, no bacon to be seen. Wasnt really a chicken ceasar salad. Anyway when we were done they took ages to clear our plates. A girl came over and asked of we wanted dessert. The kids wanted ice cream but the girl went away so we waited 30 mins for her to come back and take our order, another 20 minutes before the ice cream arrived. I was feeding my 1 year old ice cream.... THERE WAS A HAIR IN IT!!!!!! it was not mine because I am not blonde!!! Obv no hair nets or health and safety has been done!!!!I do not want some girls blonde hair in my child's mouth!!!!! I was furious!! Alot of lazy staff!!! had said to bar staff when we wer paying with a voucher , the lad says *oh right* ...... no apology, no discount no nothing. Very horrible experience and will not be back and we will be informing others to NOT COME HERE!!!!!

A lovely table overlooking the lake. It was so relaxing and beautiful! The carvery meal was very nice.

Enjoyed a really delicious afternoon tea in the restaurant this afternoon. Food, presentation, ambience.....absolutely top notch. We had so much we took 3 boxes of yummy treats home! And the young lady and the gentlemen who attended to us were really lovely: friendly, welcoming and their customer service was great. Will be rushing back and will be highly recommending. Thank you.

Just back from having a meal in the coach house,We ordered drinks and then watched them sitting on the bar for 10 minutes.Or meal came and I have to say it was very average the chips were uneatable.I said to the waitress (not interested).The bar man then asked if all was OK,I told him (not interested) just pay the bill so very disappointed.

Food was brilliant, very fresh fish and crispy batter.

Excellent. Delicious food and well trained friendly staff.

Food is really fresh and delicious. Service and waiting time is really good. Quick service.

Can never get a table always ask if I'm a resident very disappointed same old story but from I hear for all people the staff are not very helpful so I'll give it a miss

Very disappointed with both the food and service. The worst service I have experienced in a restaurant setting. We were seated promptly and looked through the menu for 5 mins or so and were ready to order. My partner and I tried to get the attention of staff members for 10 minutes before we were eventually noticed. If the place was busy it would not have been an issue, but the staff were just hanging around talking amongst themselves with no awareness of their customers. I ordered the pork belly, which was hidden beneath a serving of mash potato. It was hidden for good reason as it looked like it was boiled. Not what you imagine when you order pork belly. It was overcooked, tough and had inedible skin on it. I still ate most of it because I was famished after driving all day. Probably should have said something at the time, but I was too sheepish. That's on me. The mash and red cabbage were good. My partner got the superfood salad. It was pretty flavourless. She asked for some olive oil and balsamic vinegar and she was given a little ramekin with standard vegetable oil and the smallest drop of balsamic in it. At this point, we nearly laughed. We were tired and didn't want to deal with making a fuss. We weren't offered dessert menus. We overheard a group across from us asking for dessert menus and they didn't get them for another 10 minutes. Reading other reviews there is a lot of high ratings so I'd hope that the night we were there just happened to be a bad one.

Sat down at dirty table to a pint with no head that I had to chase for 40 mins. Sitting an hour before we had to go and ask to order. Hotel is great but go on our don't eat here. Dirty

Sooo delicious, and really reasonable prices. The staff are really kind and attentive. Cocktail menu is extensive and well balanced

The service was very quick and food quite tasty. I ordered a small portion but it was still far too much.

Excellent experience. Top notch service and a great meal.

Lovely meal location Lovely plenty to eat staff helpful would go again.

The food was actually very tasty, the setting in gorgeous. We were kind of tucked away in a corner so there wasn't much atmosphere where we were. Wasn't dying about the desserts but the mains were lovely.

I'll start with the positives , the service was very professional and the staff were attentive and polite throughout. Especially the waiter who served us, he was very friendly. Drinks were prompt and tables around us were cleaned quickly etc. Lovely setting overlooking the golf course. Menu appeared varied with decent vegan options. Unfortunately food was poor and an issue with every course has spurred me to write this review. For the price and competition these days there is no excuse . Not expecting Michelin star but was very disappointed. Garlic bread starter Consisted of two anemic cold slices that looked like the typical shop bought stuff. Superfood salad arrived dry and undressed. Main course of hake which my partner ate was passable however bland . I ordered the nut roast which I assume was laying in a freezer since the 1980s , it was dressed with the salad garnish I ate for a started so I'd have the joy of enjoying the dryness twice only the nut roast was so poor i couldnt pretend . The kind waiter noticed promptly and offered to change the dish and was very accomadating. I then had the Thai curry, also inedible clearlt too much paste used by this stage I'd given up hope and it was left intact apart from the rice. We order two deserts, black forest which was heavy and cream was yellow and tasted of fridge and Sticky toffee - sauce was rich but pudding was cold in middle and stale. With three drinks the bill was £95 ish on a week night . At this price unacceptable.

Food was great, service the same. Defo worth paying a visit.

Lovely food and staff were amazing Had a beautiful view outside during dinner

The place is OK, the service was good. But the food isn't up to scratch. Microwaved champ is never good. Dries everything else up on the plate, including the meat.

2nd experience from last night. Sunday is really busy and as a result,I think, the food is served without proper inspection. Tonight was a different matter. A good bit quieter and the food was excellent, as was the service. I always try to give a place a second chance and as a result it turned out great.

Excellent food, lovely staff and great service. Highly recommended. 🌟

I've been coming to this hotel for so many years from London, and I have never tired of it. The Brasserie is great for hotel guests, but is clearly popular with the locals too. Love the fact you have to walk through the golf club and then past the kitchens to ask for your table. Restaurant setting is smart casual, and if weather is good there are outside seats overlooking the golf course. Prices are reasonable, but not cheap. But the quality is there to make you feel its worth it.

Ask to be seated where you can look out on 6th hole. Nice view. Food was good as was the service.

Food great. Great surroundings. Staff excellent

Fab food. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Cocktails are amazing 🤩

Went spa treatment fab but expensive enjoy went meal delicous food

Very well presented eatery. Staff friendly and attentive without being over the top. Clean and tidy. Catering although pricey is excellent. If you are looking for a restaurant catering for fine dining along with the usual burger, chips, chicken, etc then this is the place for you. Good kids menu. Only downside is toilets are downstairs. There is a lift to and from the restaurant if required. Thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Very good food served by friendly staff

Top class prices, second class food, very disappointed, stayed here many times before, lovely place, now badly let down by the food(medium to well done steak does not mean raw in the center)

Lovely mini break. Breakfast was incredible

Our Anniversary meal we ordered was delicious. The service was excellent and the staff were well mannered and courteous. We really enjoyed our 49th Wedding Anniversary meal. Here's hoping we will be able to celebrate our 50th at the Coach House too!

Great food, friendly professional staff

It's been about 5 years past when I first visited The Coach House Brasserie. I have thoroughly enjoyed visiting once again yesterday the 26th January 2023. The food was excellent, service was exceptional, the atmosphere had a lovely relaxing feel and the surrounding area outside was as always beautiful to be able to view while inside the Coach House. Including a really golf course on hand should one want to engage in the sport. All in all a brilliant experience 😍

Great food. Great place a must go

Very good food for the price. The staff was very friendly and professional. I recommend. I advise you to book previously. It's a busy restaurant, and if you don't book it maybe no free tables.

Always do a great range of gluten free. Kids enjoy the kids menu. Nice selection of different foods available.

Highly recommend. Probably the best food in town.

Great food for a Christmas lunch with colleagues and the staff were very friendly and polite. However, with it being midweek, the atmosphere was a bit lacklustre.

Attended as part of a party group of 15 for lunch. Picked from the lunch menu and whilst the food was very good most people had finished or almost finished before the veg arrived. One person ordered fish and chips and only the fish came on the plate. He had to wait fully 12 mins for the chips and not even an apology. After ordering desserts and coffee the coffees were delivered first and then the dessert came 10 mins later. Something surely awry with this service but as I said earlier the food was very tasty.

Great selection on menu either for snack or full meal Very tasty hot and well presented

Beautiful food and friendly service

Lovely Staff Excellent Food Thanks from Make My Day Photography

Excellent surroundings , staff + food 👍

Great place to meet with a group of friends for a meal and to spend time with them.

Had family get together (11) pre-ordered and everything went like clockwork. Very pleased.

Frequently have ate here over the years and we feel that the food is not as good as has been. Staff are young and are very pleasant, may give other establishments a try from now on.

Food great staff brilliant but worst pint of Guinness I ever had 🙈

just had a lovely dinner at the Coach House restaurant at Roe valley hotel where wehad a 1 night break. It was excellent.

Dried up 'overpriced' food, family gathering of 13 people and not one person enjoyed their food or table service. It was clear the waiter and the manager didn't care about customer service or how the food was presented. We will not be eating there again!

Always amazing food and lovely staff

Service and food where both excellent

Food great staff really helpful

Really nice food at very reasonable prices. A lot of serving staff so there was always someone to look after you. Very polite and attentive service.

Great food.. poor service. Most of the staff are very young and forgetful

We had two evening meals here while staying in the area. They found a table for us both nights although we didn't have a reservation. The food was very good, would return if we are in the area again.

Great experience and lovely food.

Very poor customer service. No effort made to get us a table although restaurant was only half full. Had to go elsewhere.

As always, fine food in attractive, clean surroundings, with friendly, attentive staff. And, all at reasonable prices.

Quick service , good food , nice cocktails

Very disappointing lunch options for vegetarian/vegan. The superfood salad was basically just leaves and onion (2 pieces of beetroot, 3 pieces of squash and 4 tiny bits of pepper)…. For £13!! Also staff took a while to acknowledge us when we arrived (this has happened before here too). Waiter was nice

Had a lovely meal, main and dessert. I had small caesar salad and chips which was lovely. Restaurant was busy but organised. We didn't have it booked so were lucky to get a table.

Shockingly disappointing. Ding! Say no more.

Had the good fortune to be in the Court yard restaurant Saturday night the food was brilliant the staff were better than the food 😁 We had a wonderful experience will definitely be back thank you

Excellent, couldn't fault it, the staff are lovely the food is well priced and good quality. Deffinately would recommend

Beautiful Restaurant situated in a lovely setting. A great place for an engagement ;)

Overall, I’d say this place was average. Service was good, staff were helpful throughout. However it took over half an hour for drinks to arrive between sitting down and delivery. I ordered the chicken pasta: (very) bland. The strangest thing in this restaurant was the vegetarian / vegan menu - this was a completely separate menu which you had to ask for (not offered unless requested). This menu itself had a good choice - but nowadays having a whole separate menu for vegetations / menus is overkill and I think the restaurant is missing a trick here. Why not include these dishes in the standard menu? Overall - quite disappointing. The prices are also on the high side compared to other restaurants in the local area which I don’t think is warranted.

Absolutely lovely experience. Food was excellent and service was exceptional. Staff couldn't be more helpful.

The food is beautiful in every way possible: im fact its a Michelin Star rating in my opinion. Highly recommended 🤝

Was out for a day trip with the family. Came across this place on Google maps. First class service. Staff allowed us to sit outside. They had no problem with myself and my daughter sitting inside at another table due to wasps pestering us outside. Food was delicious and washed down with a lovely pint of Guinness. I went for the Roe burger with mash.. which was superb. Also the apple pie was perfect too. I thought the bill may be expensive, but in fairness it was very reasonable for four of us. It was a perfect end to a lovely family day out.

Amazing food and service is very good.

Had a good meal here but I prefer the restaurant attached to the hotel building

Poor food and service. The T Bone steak was just ok and while the Chicken Caesar Salad was tasty, the portion size that came out as a main course was the size of a starter. The panna cotta was like something you would buy from the fridge section at a petrol station and the Irish Coffee tasted like water topped with cream. Our experience was extremely disappointing and in an effort not to be harsh, maybe the poor quality and customer care was due to a late dining slot. Here's hoping!

Food was really nice and draught beer went down well

Lovely hotel nice casual atmosphere very pleasant staff great food had a great wee break thank you so much

First class sirloin. Excellent apple pie for dessert!

Really good food. So much flavour. Reasonable prices. Good size portions. Friendly staff. What's not to love?!

Food is excellent and staff are very helpful and friendly

Delicious meal and very friendly and accommodating staff

Great food, service with a smile

First class food and very friendly staff

What has happened to what used to be a great restaurant? Bar staff appeared to be all students with no experience. I ordered a vodka, with a dash of blackcurrant and water.. I got a glass of water with a glass of blackcurrant which apparently had vodka in it. My sister ordered a vodka and 7 up. She got a glass of Sprite. She was told the vodka was in the glass already. When the bar man cane over to the table he did say there was no vodka in it. And returned with a bottle of zero Sprite and vodka in a separate glass (low calorie not requested. The meal..... the two girls ordered cream potatoes and emphasised no scallions. Guess what arrived champ with scallions. We basically had the last spoonful of desert in our mouth when we were presented with the bill. No mention of whether we wanted coffee or not. This was completely out of order. Nobody should be presented with a bill until they request it. We had intented staying on for a few drinks but felt like we were being pushed out. When I was paying the bill I was asked was everything ok I replied not really and the girl didn't even ask me why. We left and went to another venue. Please radisson employ some mature staff.

Excellent meals and friendly service.

Service is great but vegan options are limited. Could only find one vegetarian option that could be veganised the noodle stir fry. Did not taste great.

Great place to eat. Good food and service

Food is amazing, couldn't fault a thing. The manager Anthony and his team are very welcoming and can't do enough for you. Can't wait to return.

Really nice meal and reasonably priced.

Very good location and food is good

Excellent lunch and dinner I order baguette and soup for lunch and the curry for dinner and both were amazing

Delicious dinner while enjoying an overnight stay. Friendly staff.

Brilliant food, friendly helpful staff. Highly recommended. Will be back.

Highly recommend the coach house. Food is excellent

This is a first class Restaurant, and very friendly staff.

Service so impersonal and waitress was rude with a major attitude. Food was OK nothing to right home about.
