On Wednesday night we wnet to the The Front Bar in Banbridge. Our mail was very good, but the service was not up to standard. When we went in we waited for about 5 minutes before any one came to serve us. We eventually got our meal and as I said the food was good, but the staff and not trained properlly. This not the fault of the staff, but the management themselves. I think for what our meal cost the service could have been much better.

Visited Mr Crozier's this evening (9/8/19) for a cocktail, after a meal elsewhere. I hope someone in authority reads this post as it should impact on your sales! I stood at the bar, in front of the barmaid (2 feet away, with no-one else at the bar at all) trying to make some sort of eye contact in order to place an order. She totally ignored the fact that I was there...no eye contact, not a glance in my direction (standing in front of her) as she prepared a drink for someone else. This is NOT an excuse. A simple "I'll be with you when I finish this order", or an "Hello, with you in a minute" would have sufficed, however she would not even do me the courtesy of raising her glance in my direction....very poor manners! It was apparent that my custom was of no importance to her. I tried to get some recognition from her without success.....result was my wife and I left disappointed and dissatisfied. This bar did not only lose our customer tonight, it lost out custom and everyone we can influence, simply due to a rude member of staff who could not be bothered to serve me! Pretty sad for a business struggling to survive though not a great surprise. This can be easily rectified with proper staff training in courtesy and customer centric service.

Went today for lunch as on route to Newry, my daughter ordered soup and wrap meal, soup some sort of flavourless liquid, wrap Was a soggy mess , could have used a soups spoon to eat it, I ordered burger meal, chips looked and tasted like they had been reheated several times, burger over cooked but more eatable than the wrap, had ordered onion rings which the cook forgot, don’t know how as it wasn’t busy, we did eventually get them free of charge, they where the highlight of the meal,

Since the refurb the Coach is a nice spot to have a meal with very comfortable surroundings and decor. The food although was a bit of a disappointment, it was very greasy and not much finesse put into its making. Service was very slow especially with orders for cocktails but as there were new staff in I suppose it was just teething problems that could soon be irradiated. A bit pricey but ok for a change of scenery. Also had issues with rowdy customers who seem to bully the staff

Popped in for quick lunch. Ordered fish and chips. 40 mins later it was served. Very slow service. Not be back. Quicker and cheaper going to a chippy. Menu was even difficult to read poor quality print

I have visited the Front Bar several times over the last 12 months and on a Friday night they do a great deal for 2 steaks with wine and sides for £29.95 however the last few times we have visited during the week for the earli bird menu we have been disappointed. The food has been pretty tasteless. We also waited for 40 minutes the last time we visited for our desserts. At one point we were actually going to tell the waiter to forget about them. Altgough i must say when we went to pay the bill they did take off the price of a drink each for the inconvience of having to wait. This was a nice gesture I guess and the staff are always friendly.

4 of us went here on Saturday for meal and a few drinks , from start to finish the service was faultless , our young waiter was so polite , all the food came out at the same time , quality and value for money 10/10 , the place runs like clockwork and all food coming out looks of a high standard at very reasonable prices , I comment the new manager / owner on the politeness of staff and the chef for his cooking , will be back very soon

I was treated to a Birthday meal out by my dad. The Front Bar has always been a favourite and since the refurbishments, the place looks better than ever. They have a new head chef in and it has to be said, the food was delicious. We went for the Friday night steak deal which at £29.95 was excellent value! Two steaks, two sides, two sauces and 2 glasses of wine. We topped it off with hot chocolate fudge cake with ice-cream and well, we were very happy with what we got. Everything was top notch, the service was impeccable with attentive staff. Our only negative was a family group sat somewhere to the side of us with 4 young children under the age of 10. This was after 6pm and they let their kids run all over the place including upstairs to and from the cocktail bar. When you go out for a meal, you want to relax and savour your food and enjoy your drinks. You don't want to feel like you're stuck in a fast food place or a creche! It tainted the experience somewhat, which is why I've rated our visit 4 instead of 5. Someone did complain about the noise and was faced with a member of the family yelling "shame on you". Well shame on the parents and grandparents for letting kids run amok! I would suggest to the bar to put a time cap on people having their kids in the place after 6pm. People want to enjoy an evening meal and a drink in peace without the presence of young kids.

Had lunch with my husband and young son, the chef went out of his way to do carbonara sauce instead , soup was tasty. Soup combo was just ok, bacon was very tough and bread wasn’t compatible with it. Wrap had very little fillings, overall £33 for lunch was a bit expensive for us.

Called in last week for a quick meal with friends, it was around 5:30pm and the restaurant/bar was not busy at all yet there were a lot of staff running around. We were approached by an extremely unenthusiastic waitress/possibly supervisor? who took our drink and food order with a very grumpy attitude. We ordered two starters which took around 40 mins to arrive, we had to go ask the bar man to check if they were ready! When we finally got the starters the order was wrong, we were hungry so decided to just eat what the waiter had given us to avoid waiting another 40 mins to have the error corrected. The waiter did not apologies for the mix up, however the starter that we were supposed to get then arrived after my friend had already started eating the first one. We asked the waitress to send our mains as soon as possible. When they arrived we were disappointed further, the risotto was tasteless and one friend referred to the steak sandwich as cardboard. To be fair, one of us got the burger which was actually very good! But did not make up for the poor service and ridiculous wait time. This restaurant used to be one of the best in town but has sadly gone downhill. Waiting staff, bar tenders and managers need a serious training session on polite customer service and problem solving!!

The coach is always a must when visiting Banbridge, drinks are good and we always go to The Quiz on Thursday nights! The food is average last time we went and service can be hit and miss, however the bartenders are usually good. Nice place with the new renovations would recommend.

Called here whilst over on a visit. Fairly busy as it was the night of the European Cup final. Found a table, waitress was quickly over with menus and we ordered drinks. Our main courses were ordered and arrived in good time. All were very tasty. Nothing pretentious. Just good quality, tasty food. The staff were attentive enough but not overbearing. 3 courses, 3 drinks, £40.00 I think is a fair price. Plus Real Madrid beat Liverpool. Bonus !!!

Just had food in the front bar have to say was not good, my husband meal was very good but I had the scampi, not good it was very over cooked and was sent down with lemon Mayo when I asked about tartar sauce I was told sorry don't know why they sent it down with mayo. We finished our meal and waited 25 mins for some one to ask if we would like dessert but no one came near us so we just went up to the bar and waited to pay the bill, at this time a member of staff came out looked at us and walked out the back again. We have been to the front bar loads of times for food but think we will not be going back.

Friendly with good atmosphere. Feels a place that is mainly aimed at locals. Staff very friendly and efficient. Food was ok club sandwich excellent. Steak sandwich good. Must admit to being fascinated by the contents of the machines in toilet. In ladies normal sanitary towels, the modern condoms and a thong? Not sure situations you need this? Getting lucky on a date and remembering you are wearing big pants? Or no pants. Men's equally interesting (sent partner in to investigate) condoms and "Golden Root Formula" a herbal male erectile enhancement tablet. So I think this may be a fun bar at night

I have had many meals (lunch and dinner) in the Coach Front Bar over the past few years, and I have never been disappointed. I'm quite a fussy eater so usually there are only one or two things I would eat on a menu. However, the Coach offers such a variety of options I could eat my way through the whole menu! The service is always brilliant, staff are very friendly, attentive and professional and there is always a welcoming feel to the place when you go in. Over the last 3/4 months the food has got even better, you always get great portions and the food always comes out hot! I've tried many places around the area but the coach is the one I keep coming back to knowing I will have a great meal! Couldn't fault the place one bit, looking great after recent repainting also! Would highly recommend.

Four of us went for dinner here last weekend. We enjoyed a drink in the upstairs bar area while pursuing the menu. We all had starters, I had the pate which was very nice and well presented, another had brie which looked delicious, my friend had the risotto, which wasn't great - they had no asparagus left and it a little tasteless and lumpy and our other friend has soup. My main of Crispy Asian duck salad was delicious and I will be returning for this! Everyone else enjoyed their main courses and the couple of desserts were also very good. Service was good too and I look forward to returning.

I recently went to the coach on a Saturday night with 3 girl friends and 1 boy friend. We traveled from Belfast by coach express which picked us up outside the fly. The nightclub itself was good but the bus driver on the express bus was greedy. On putting a tip in with his price £3 extra there was no music on the bus. On the way home we were threatened by about 10 grown men from the bus. We had told the driver this and asked him if he could drop us closer to our home which he ignored twice. On the third time asking him basically frightened for our lives by this stage, the bus man told us he would drop us of at a safe place "if we paid him extra". The service from him was atrocious. We have recently been in contact with the events manager to which he offered us a 'free bus down and free entry'. Thanks but no we wont be back.

Went to The Coach with the fam for my 19th Birthday dinner. We were all heading out that night so wanted a feed on a budget. I had the blackened chicken salad which was De-Lish and the usual 6oz rump steak. All was fabulous including the cocktails which were served by the good looking bar staff ;) The atmosphere was bouncy and to top off my meal, all the staff members sang 'Happy Birthday' to me as they brought out cake and candles. Not a complaint to be made. Food, Chefs and Staff were 100%!!!

I had an amazing meal in the Coach last Thursday with my girlfriend. The place was very busy at dinner time but our waitress looked after us well and the service was first class.I had bacon ribs and a cock and bull burger from their £9.95 menu. The ribs in particular were great - really succulent and loads of flavour. The cock and bull burger was something I had tried before so I knew Id like it but to get it for £9.95 with a starter included was a real bonus. My girlfriend had the pate and steak sizzler and she loved these too.We'll definitely be back - keep up the good work!

Have been dining in the coach for over 6 years since I moved to Banbridge. After my last 3 visits, I have to say I'm so disappointed !! It's recently under new management which reflects the hike in bar prices.....£16 for a bottle of wine which used to be £11. A glass of house White £4.50 a glass.....no small bottles available to purchase.Menu is now one page and very limited. My last visit I ordered the chicken with bacon and mushroom sauce, chicken was fatty, a lack of sauce and the chips tasted like they were cooked with fish!!!!! Yuk yuk yuk Tonight I ordered the cock n bull burger....great value for money - a massive feed, tobacco onions were beautiful, but the chips were poor! Worst chips I've ever had. Service is slow....due to the lack of staff on duty, but friendly. All in all, it will be a while before I'm back! New management needs to take note-as a regular for 6 years-food is inconsistent and wine is overpriced. This was a regular stop for me and the girlies for wine and nibbles, not anymore due to the hike in wine prices and limited menu.Dissapointed!!!!!!

My husband and I went here for tea on Friday evening. We sat down at a table with dirty plates on it, the waiter then came over and asked were we finished When I explained we hadn't even ordered he quickly took the plates away and wiped the table. For starters we ordered wings and pate. Neither were anything to write home about. For mains my husband had the pork chop special and I had fish and chips. It took well over 20 mins after the starters for the main to arrive and unfortunately was not worth the wait.We left very disappointed

Visited family & friends in Banbridge recently and they recommended the coach for dinner..On arrival we had to wait ages for menus then I just decided to get them myself... No drinks order taken so my husband went to the bar and ordered them...The menu looked brilliant, lots of choice and wanted to try everything...Ordered ribs & seafood chowder from starter menu, and salmon & steak from main...Ribs were absolutely disgusting, couldn't eat them. 2 pieces of fat served on an empty plate. my husband ate his seafood chowder but said their was no taste. I complained & got the 'famous chicken wings' talk about being hot. The sauce was that hot I couldn't taste anything else and left a ratten horrible taste in my mouth with burnt lips. Yuk!Both still starving we thought the main course would be much better...Very disappointed with the salmon, it was served with over cooked veg & sticky noodles dried up & no flavour..My husband said he thought his steak was off & couldn't eat it... Very disappointed in the service and food.. My friends couldn't believe it when I told them how horrible our meal was.. This is not good enough 'the coach' food & service needs to be consistent every time.. Will not be back & would never recommend unless new staff & chef hired!!

Can't believe how horrible our dinner was in the coach. Absolutely disgusting. Never had as bad a meal before in my life! The ribs were a lump of slimy fat sitting on the plate. The chicken wings were far too hot which made them unbearable to eat let alone taste.. Complained about the ribs & the waiter seemed shocked as he said they were popular. Don't understand how a lump of greasy fat can be popular...!!!!!Main meals.. Where do I start! Thai curry was served with a packet of bachelors veg rice, the salmon was served with dryed up noddles that stuck to the fork & tasteless (packet of super noodles dryed up more like it) the seafood chowder was a bowl of watery sauce with lumps of fish and what ever else threw in... Tasteless!!!! Completly uneatable food was served to us..I have never complained about food before and would not call myself a fussy eater, I could eat anything, but this was just horrible, can't believe we wasted our time & money and will never be back... The staff & service was ok but whenever I worked as a waitress in my student days if any customer complained about food it was taken of the bill and also a free dessert offered! We only complained about the ribs for starter and it was not taken off our bill...I have never left a review on trip advisor but just felt the need too as we are so shocked that this poor standard of food was served to us.. :(New Chef needed!!!!

We hadn't been to the coach in several months due to having a bad experience however I heard they had switched their meat supplier back to Knoxs butchers so decided to return.

Went here for lunch. The menu was more like an evening menu than a lunch one but plenty of choice. It was a very cold day and the place was uncomfortably cold, the food took over 40 minutes arriving which was too long to wait in the cold for lunch. However, after all that the food was great when it did arrive.

Dear oh dear... Where do I start?!!We are regular customers to the coach for meals and it's usually the gem of the area but my god, we went tonight for 2 sirloin steak meals (which usually are to die for) but what a shock we got!!! The coach has changed hands very recently and you can most certainly tell with the food! So much so, we thought they had employed different chefs!! The chips are horrible, not the usual chips they used to serve, the whole meal was a disappointment for the coach standard we are used too. On quizzing the barman (who knows we are regulars) on what happened the food he told us that a lot of regulars were complaining about the food as the standard has dropped - all because the new owner of the coach has changed suppliers for the food. I also put a status on Facebook and a lot of friends said they had been recently and hated the food! The cock and bull burger and the coach burger isn't anywhere near the quality it was. It's a shame the new owner seems to be cutting corners and costs and by doing so has lost 2 very loyal customers (spending on average £150 on meals per month). I can't see them reverting back to the beautiful food they used to provide so for that reason we'll just have to take our business back to the Bronte steak house. Such a shame.

Had lunch in here quite a few times over the last year. Always consistent, large portions and tasty home cooked food. Large amount of options on the menu which makes it tough to decide what to go for. Recommend the duck starter and also if your feeling really hungry the burger topped with goujons.

Went out with girls last note and decided to try The Couch Brasserie as everyone was raving about it.Omg we weren't disappointed. The service was excellent but the food stole the show.The menu was extensive with something to suit everyone. We all chose something different so we could taste a variety of dishes. Everything was beautiful and made from fresh. The best meal we have had in a long time. We will definitely be back. PS the duck was amazing.

I have ate at this restaurant on a number of occasions and it has been a pleasure every time. The staff are very helpful and the service they provide is excellent. The food is of a high quality and is very well prepared, each time I ordered Steak it has been cooked exactly how I requested. Pricing is very reasonable and I will certainly be back again.

The food served in the bar area is very good. Very quick taking orders and not a long wait for the food. What I do like is there never is a hurry for you to eat and leave which is an added bonus. Would highly recommend.

We went here for a birthday celebration. Although it was almost empty they seemed to take forever to produce our order . However when it arrived it was very good and the portions were colossal . The side salad is a meal in itself .

What a great place to eat or just for a pint. We had a great meal there which was well presented, delicious and great value. The staff were very efficient but not crowding and the food served hot and promptly. The bar was very clean and tables cleared quickly once customers left. I would highly recommend The Coach as a friendly, welcoming restaurant.

The Front Bar once had the accolade of 'UK's worst bathrooms' but the management listened and spent the money to make them and the bar top class. Lovely, clean surroundings and child-friendly. The food followed suit. What a pleasant surprise I had for a Monday lunch. The menu I feel is badly written for I wasnt enticed by the main courses so ordered three (!!) starters instead. The portion sizes were large and good value. Very tasty warm duck salad coupled with friendly service. I'll be back.

Yep its my local. It has a nightclub attached but its been renovated and they've done a great job. I've been eating here for 16 years or so and have yet to have a bad meal in the front bar. Food is very good and very reasonably priced offset by the price of drinks. portions very good and during the day children are very welcome. Recommended for a mid day meal whilst in our town. You wont be dissapointed.

Sunday dinner specials - all I can say is "this is the most disgusting food I have ever tasted"I had the lamb & my friend had the roast beef, the only thing that was nice was the roast potato and the carrot & turnip mash.Have been here many times before and always been happy, but will never be back again!!!!

It's been a couple of years since I last ate here. Nice surroundings and the service is always very friendly. I just feel the food is overpriced for what it is.

Decent enough food for a chain - better than Starbucks at any rate. Top prompt, friendly and welcoming service. Good coffee. I had a work meeting here with colleagues over coffee, then lunch, and it was ideal. Great music playing, and at a perfect volume

We have no score for rooms as we have only dined at Downshire Arms. The building is quaint and the decor hasn't changed for many years but this is all part of its charm. It is refreshing to walk into the lobby which is accessed from the rear car park. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The food is excellent and always freshly cooked and piping hot when it arrives at your table. The staff are very friendly and very helpful. Nothing seems to be too much trouble. The car park at the rear is small and fills up quickly but there is lots of easy access parking within a few minutes walk of the Hotel. I really do recommend The Downshire Arms fir its great food and serv8ce, you will not be dissapointed!

Nice establishment and the food was delicious. However, we felt rushed to vacate our table by the staff and this spoilt our experience.
