The Galley Cafe in Newry and Mourne

Staying in Newcastle and we looked for a coeliac friendly takeaway and found The Galley. Staff could not have been more helpful in making sure our order was perfect and went above and beyond. Got two gluten free goujon meals and the food was incredible, the best gluten free chippy we've ever had with lovely gravy to go with it. Could not recommend more

Nice scampy, chips were cold so were the peas, salad was lots of onion and lettuce.

Great food, especially for coeliacs who have their own menu. Reasonably priced and always busy so you know it's good grub!!

Very good tasty food and plenty of it recommend to anyone to try

Absolutely amazing blown away the breaded fish was out of this world definitely worth a visit honestly skip Newcastle and Kilkeel it’s worth it ❤️

Unreal food the nicest we have ever had

First time after passing many times being too busy with work but hearing good reviews I stopped and was glad I did fish and chips were spot on 😋

Batter on fish was bit overdone for me, but the chips were lovely

Was so looking forward to coming here after family had spoken about the food here. We come from visiting family in Cranfield. A family followed us in, and they were offered a table near straight away, but we had to wait, apparently because our pram wouldn’t fit. They were clearly friends because they sat talking with the waitress, while we waited 25 minutes later and were still offered one of the same booths where we ‘wouldn’t fit’. The waitress wouldn’t look at us taking our order, and clearly wanted to be elsewhere, rushing everyone. It wasn’t until one of us went to the bathroom that we realised there was high chairs in the hall that weren’t offered to us. When we asked for one the waitress just looked at us and told us to get it ourselves. To be fair, the food was lovely, but the service was disappointing.

We got takeaway yesterday, Burgers, Fish n Chips... Enormous portions. Breakfast today didn't dissapoint either. Huge Ulster Fry, great filter coffee. Staff is terrific.

We found The Galley Annalong after travelling through Newcastle, which was really busy with nowhere to park. We ordered chicken strips, hawaiian burger, chips and tea. The strips were hard as, burger was awful, tea tasted like one tea bag was used between two cups. But the chips were ok! We threw the lot away and drove on. Hard to understand how they won so many awards. Overseas travellers.

Beautiful fish and chips....in fact everything looked amazing....

Absolutely the best. Portion size is extremely generous and everything tasted delicious 😋

Incredible dine in experience. Super friendly staff, incredible food! Can’t wait to go back!

Food fantastic although they were extremely busy when we were in and forgot the bird portion on my beef and bird but when we said it was kindly taken from our bill , definitely worth trying out.

No issues with the food and service!But Could do with the Disabled toilet being give a “ Deep clean “ Hand grabs were very dirty

Excellent food. Friendly staff.

Really good quality food. The staff could perhaps put a smile on their bake.....basic customer service 😁 I would highly recommend their fish and chips

We had a breakfast 🥞 there and it's lovely I was very happy to found a bigger choice than just usual N.I. breakfast.great choice great service. And a great idea in supporting fisherman's

We called into The Galley Restaurant yesterday. Everything was first class, the service, friendly staff, food & price. I would recommend The Galley to anyone, I've been in it several times & it never fails to be good.

A little gem for delicious food..their fish and chips are worth a drive for...staff are just lovely nothing is too much for them.. definitely will be back

It takes an hour waiting time to take away that's why I give it 4 stars

The service was excellant with plenty of staff who were very attentive. The food was very good and plentiful and the prices are reasonable. Think it is great that they cater for the older customers with special deal on the menu.

Top address in N. Ireland for fish & chips

Probably the best fish and chips we have had in a very long time, reasonably priced compared to some fish and chips shops. Could not fault the food.

incredible food, it was piping hot and fresh even after a 10 minute drive afterwards as we ordered for collection

Amazing food Had the take away It was delicious 😋🤤 Never been before to the day

We arrived at 1:30pm on a busy Saturday with no booking. We had to wait in a short queue for a few minutes before getting our table. My husband ordered fish and chips which he thoroughly enjoyed. The batter was light and crispy and the chips were not greasy. He also commented on the mushy peas which he said were the best he had tasted in a long time. I ordered the special which was baked haddock served in a very tasty sauce with lots of prawns. There was also a generous side of freshly cooked vegetables which came with my meal. The desserts looked delicious but the main meals were so generous that, sadly, we had to pass on them. We will definitely call again when we are next in that area.

A very busy take away fish and chips shop with an extensive menu. It has a take away,a sit in and an outdoor eating area. Good is of high standards both in quality and quantity. Staff busy but still take time to be pleasant and patient. Prices reasonable.

It's great, the service is welcoming and friendly and the food is delicious

Great for a quick lunch stop. Great menu and good-sized portions.

Friendly staff. Awesome food. Reasonably priced.

Busy as good we were told. Lots waiting for preordained. We had short what for order on arrival for chips. Nice hot crispy guess beef oil, used to veg oil

Amazing food, don't know why we've never been before, but will def be back

Really tasty, great portions. I'll definitely be back!

Great spot! Very friendly staff and unreal fresh food at reasonable prices. I had the Satay Burger Special, Highly recommended! Thank you!

Top quality food as always provided by the Galley. The service was up to the best standard and the turnaround time between ordering and getting our food was minimal. Great place for a family meal. Will definitely be back!

Called into because we had heard this is an ‘award winning’ fish and chip shop. Disappointing as the fish was dry and the batter was not crisp. It looks like the fish had been pre cooked and then reheated when an order was placed. Noticed an advert offering an incentive when paying if you voted for them. Buying your votes do not make you award winning!!

If you have a small appetite this place is not for you !! Fantastic food & service, with HUGE portions 😋😋😋

Delicious breakfast ,lovely place with friendly staff. Thanks Melanie and Colin

Excellent fish and chips. and lots of it.. staff very friendly too..

Fantastic food, service and staff. 27 of us arrived for food and they were amazing. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Ok fish and chips. Need to try elsewhere.

Great service and food. Reasonable prices. Well wrapped. Undercover outdoor seating available. I parked on the street.

Really good l would recommend it 👌

I have never been disappointed with the food here. Service is always fast, and the staff are great.

Food average had chicken curry. Chicken tasted like it was reheated Have been eating in the galley for years when I visit ni Relatives also expressed that the food had become rather average lately

Food was alright, wouldn't be worth the hype. Prices very good. Staff among the most ignorant and abrupt I've ever came across, serious lack of training there. Wouldn't be good working with tourists

Had dinner here this evening. I had baked cod and then lemon meringue pie and ice cream for dessert George had chicken and bacon with cheese and apple and black berry crumble. Lovely meal.

Very nice food however thought a little pricey also unfortunately we were not offered kids menu apparently you are required to ask for it . Plus note yes food was delicious & staff so lovely

Overpriced, small fish and chips very poor. Not what it used to be.

Very good food along a beautiful drive to Newcastle.

Quick service through the app. Big portions. Medium fish is substantial. Average pricing. Nice chips. 31.3.24

I had the chicken strip meal in here and ive to say the food was absolutely brillant my better half had loaded fries and they where awesome to would definitely try again

More than impressed with The Galley. There’s a reason why the chippy is always so busy, the food is exquisite. We sat in for the first time, with a cost of £70 for 4&1 toddler, full belly’s all round and everyone extremely happy. It’s much bigger inside than it looks outside. Photos pictures were the pulled pork burger & the stacked sandwich!

This review is for the takeaway part of the restaurant. We had visited years ago and remembered it being above average but this time, we were underwhelmed. The chips were dry and undercooked. Not what it used to be. Also, I've included photos of the current menu as the ones they have posted on Facebook are a couple years out of date.

Food is amazing… is what I would say if I ever got to eat it. Twice I’ve gone to use my voucher, for the takeaway to be closed early. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice.., you know the rest :(

My experience was brilliant such lovely and helpful staff food excellant x

Top notch fish and chips Had a nice fry also

Lovely food everything spotless

We went to The Galley chip shop this evening. We ordered a 6oz double decker cheeseburger with onions and red sauce a sausage bap with onions and red sauce and a 4oz double decker burger with red sauce. We placed our order at 17:17, at 18:00 we still had no food so I went to the till and asked what was going on and I was told there were a lot of app orders and our food wouldn't be too much longer. In the meantime there were several people who ordered after us and got their orders within 10 minutes of ordering!! We finally got our food at 18:10 nearly an hour after ordering!! When we finally did get our food our burgers were cold and like rubber and were completely drowned in red sauce

I live 56 miles from it and still drive to get a fish.. hands down the best iv ever had

Great Place for Food. Lots of choice on the menu to suit everyone and also daily specials.

Amazing fish and chips, large portions and great staff, reasonable prices,

Food was very nice, staff were friendly good experience.

Stopped on Sunday and ordered a Scampi and lg chip and a large Cod supper and what I got wasn't brilliant at all. The Fresh Cod was nice but surrounded by a tasteless and unseasoned batter, which was a bit of a disappointment having heard so many rave reviews on this offering and seeing so many awards in the takeaway on display. The Scampi looked like it was the remaining batter remnants that float in the fryers in most chippies. And if it had of been tasty I wouldn't have passed much remarks but I wouldn't be rushing back to be honest. One positive is that the chip portion sizes were huge.

Very good Fish n chips. Good big portions.

Excellent service, food and atmosphere - been a couple of times recently and will certainly be back

Managed to pop in at a good time and get a table straight away. Service staff were really friendly and the food was delicious. Wish I had of kept room for dessert cos they looked great! Would go back again.

Amazing fish and chips , loads of food.

Poss the best club sandwich available anywhere!

Great gluten free selection. Nothing too much bother for staff and always welcoming atmosphere. 😍 👌

A really lovely restaurant with a great selection of food! Do not pass!

Tables for a start were not overly clean, there was a strange smell in the place. But heard good reports so stayed to try the food... The young girl who showed us to the table looked like she would rather be elsewhere! Food... Well I got lasagne and chips. Chips were good no complaints, but the lasagne was oily and laces with what I could only describe as cheap cheddar cheese that looked like it had been microwaved! It was mostly cheese, giving it an oily overpowering taste! Lasagne should not taste like this... Was hardly any meat either. Salad would have been nice apart from the dressing.. This should be stated! As not everyone likes dressing. The garlic bread again was oily like someone just covered it with garlic butter and hoped for the best! My partners burger was good according to him and he enjoyed his chips but I thought the garlic chips looked far from appetising. Not everyone can eat greasy, oily food..deffo not worth the money. Highly overpriced for what they serve.

We were out for a drive and decided to stop at the Galley, we should have kept driving. We got a fish supper, sausage supper and a tub of curry sauce. The chips weren't great but improved when dipped in the curry. The biggest let down was the fish, it had soggy thick batter, I ate a few bites then gave up as it was so greasy. Won't be back.

Very good selection, healthy sized portions and beautifully cooked.

Delicious! Its a busy spot but was worth the long wait

Watch out if you’re paying with cash in this place. Got ripped off a tenner when i went to pay. First time in Annalong and first place i go into i get robbed

Solid turn around from placing order to eating delicious fresh haddock supper ! Amazing definitely go again

Called yesterday for late lunch and as usual we were not disappointed. The service and cleanliness of the restaurant was first class. Food was also beautiful and can’t wait to call again.

V busy… lovely atmosphere…extensive menu… delicious food. Couldn’t complain about anything. Will certainly be back and recommend to friends.

Had Turkey and Ham Sunday lunch delicious

Great chippy wot proper chips and even fancy tray bakes

Top notch food and service. Large portion sizes and good variety on the menu.

Fantastic as always never disappoints

Such a feed and tasty as well... Ordered 2 kids burger meals and a chicken nugget kids meal and the amount of chips was unreal 1 would have done them 👌👍👍

Lovely restaurant. Good food. Great service. Reasonable price.

Highly recommend this place. Just tried for the first time over the weekend. Food was fantastic, was blown away by the ‘Galley Stack’. Great portion size for the price. Do a great americano coffee also!

Great plaice for fish and chips.

A GOOD fish supper filled me up.

Very friendly, helpful staff during these difficult times. Food was faultless and amazing. Will definitely be returning

Best fish n chips I’ve had in Ireland . Great friendly service especially Ryan who served me and made a great suggestion for what to choose . Will definitely be back .

Friendly staff, served quickly, food was delicious. They had dairy free lemon meringue pie. Would highly recommend.

The baked fish I had was the best ever.

Lovely freshly cooked food, quick service and dairy free options available for one of our party which was great to see. Quick and attentive service.

Have been here a few times now and this visit was very disappointing the chips were all wee ends and possibly the worst fish I've ever had here . Don't think I'll return for awhile until it improves

Great place large popular and great value lovely food and staff

I have been going here for years and always recommend the food but today has put me off ask for chicken burger with no mayo went to eat it covered in mayo chips half raw an black very disappointed sorry but getting a bad meal when I come from dromore to get food

Went here for a takeaway and was very disappointed. We ordered 2 haddock suppers and asked for one to be Gluten free. When we got back to our holiday home and opened the food it wasn’t even marked which one was gluten free which meant I couldn’t eat the fish without taking the batter off so it was just plain fish with no flavour. It wouldn’t have been hard to mark gf on the right one. Extremely careless. There was no salt and vinegar on the chips so they were also bland and also quite dry. The portions are huge so if it was edible you would definitely get moneys worth although one portion of chips is more than enough for 2 people but unfortunately it was mostly wasted as it just wasn’t good.

What I had 2 eat was lovely garlic mushrooms + I had steak sandwitch really enjoyed it
