Service was the worst at our stay in the hotel, staff were asked twice on drink order took 45 minutes also our friend found a hair in her chicken curry which puts a question of the hygiene rate in the kitchen, also staff didn’t know anything about the menu and staff weren’t informed on what was on the menu. The food we had was lovely and the atmosphere was perfectly fine. Credits to the lady with the ginger hair she done everything we had asked her and knew her job role very well The hair in the food problem was resolved with a discount much appreciated but still believe regulations need to be made.

The restaurant, along with the hotel has an old world charm that is rarely found in the large chain hotels and most restaurants.

If you like a big feed, this is the place for you. Huge portion sizes. The farmers around Newry expect that when they go out. By choosing the restaurant rather than the carvery, I thought we'd get more of a fine dining experience for the family reunion - especially for the prices. Not so unfortunately. I asked for my lamb rack cooked medium. It came well done. My mother looked forward to banana and pineapple with the chicken Maryland. All she got was the chicken. Some sort of kitchen language miscommunication apparently. Staff worked hard and were friendly though, so it's worth a visit - if you like a big feed.

Someone wrote a review about the portions being very small so me and my girlfriend went by that review and got a starter. She got garlic bread and I got chicken goujons. Then plates filled a spot so we were excited for the mains. I had gotten the Sirloin with Chips while she got the chicken Maryland with champ. I can’t stress this enough, the portions were huge. Not too huge but huge enough to make you partly regret the starter. The meal couldn’t have been any nicer, honestly. And all in all came to around £80 so it was priced just right. Will definitely be back for another go at the steak!

Went to the old mill restaurant for a family event (holy communion). 5 adults and 1 child . Can't fault the service even though a little bit more of wait than normal but understandable so because of current situation. Waiting staff were great and a lovely touch of a card for the communion child . The food we got was lovely and very tasty . My only issue was the portions . We decided not to have starters as wanted to enjoy the meal . Meal portions were meagher to say the least . Steak was presented with 2 onion rings on top and a tiny bowel of chips (about 6 in total). The chicken was a small chicken breast on top of a spoon of mash and 2 slices of carrot , with a drizzle of gravey. No extra veg or potatoes offered . So dissapointing for the price . Went home still hungry and ended up ordering a domino's pizza . At nearly £200 seemed a lot . There was about 2 rounds of drink on that but some were only soft drinks . As said earlier service and taste of food was great just portion size was disappointing. With things the way they are at the moment i wouldn't waste a night out here again . I would try somewhere different . Veg and potatoes aren't the most expensive part of the meal . So come on Canal Court listen to your customers . Probaly would have stayed on longer but was disappointed so just wanted to go home . Little boy (communion boy) had a great day and didn't want to take away from that .

This was my 2nd visit to the old mill for dinner, and this time loads of positives, as always the staff are exceptional here, and this was no different, after munching through my lovely fresh bread and butter, my squid starter was exceptional, one of the best for quite a while, while my main of chicken supreme was a good portion of chicken, with a fondant potato and asparagus with a nice sauce, very tasty, a 500 mil carafe of house wine was enjoyed and the bill was £21 for 2 courses and £12.50 for the wine. As they only offer the table d’hôte menu on certain nights perhaps a few specials might help, as I was not tempted back for another night during my stay, as the menu was the same as in December when I last stayed.

Having been enticed by the come dine with us Table d'hôte menu in my room I booked a table for 8.30.I was looking at the menu presented in the restaurant and could see no sign of the 2 course £21.00 offer from my room, on challenging my waitress she said there was now a special Christmas menu which was £31 with no 2 course option, so in effect tough luck!Apparently other diners had the same issue, the message to management is do not leave menus in rooms if they are no longer valid! I asked to see the restaurant manager and to his credit he immediately agreed to provide the menu from the room. Personally I cannot see why the Christmas menu and the room menu cannot be run side by side, Christmas revellers probably want all 3 courses where as business travellers may be quite happy with the 2.I went for the chicken Goujons for starter and cod for main, somewhat surprisingly my main was brought out first, I pointed out that I had not had my starter and off the lady went. About 10 minutes later my starter turned up, and to be fair it was very tasty and enjoyable. I the asked for a 10 minute break before my main, this was accomplished, when the main turned up I was advised the plate was searingly hot as was the food ( my earlier rejected main microwaved? ) I burnt my lip on my first piece of fish, sadly the dish was way to dry and did not seem to include the salsa verde sauce as an accompaniment, I did query whether this was the earlier dish reheated and was assured it was not, but the dish was sadly over cooked and lacking in sauce so a disappointment for me. Which was a shame I was really looking forward to the meal.

The manager, Mary, was very accommodating in finding us a suitable space for the pram and also an age appropriate highchair. Service was efficient and all of the staff were very pleasant and friendly. we ordered a starter and main course from the Sunday set menu and we were not disappointed. Portions were of a good size, the quality was excellent and super tasty, and extra gravy was no problem. Would definitely return for another Sunday lunch.

This is a beautiful restaurant, the staff are very helpful and friendly, and the food is amazing....However, we booked well in advance to make sure it was wheelchair friendly and they could accommodate us with the wheelchair...but, when we were shown to our table, we were blocking staff, other people, customers etc, as they had the wheelchair in the middle of the walkway. It was as though they had forgotten about it.The person in the wheelchair felt very uncomfortable as she was literally in everyone's way, but had nowhere to move as they were so busy that night. All the staff and patrons were very nice mind, even when nearly tripping over the wheelchair at one stage.....!Having said that, I'm hoping that was a once off and just an oversight on their part, as everything else was just lovely... will definately try it again...

From start to finish every thing was amazing we were greeted at the door by a very efficient manager who couldn't do enough for us. I think her name was Mary. We ordered out meal from the menu and beautiful warm bread and dips arrived I thought this was great as I was starving. Our starter soon arrived and it was beautiful and very well balanced with flavour and textures I thought bring on the main coarse.. I ordered the duck and my wife ordered the fish special which was monkfish both were cooked and seasoned to perfection the chef must know a thing or two. We then moved on to the sweet menu were I normally go for a coffee and herself will have a dessert that I eat half of and the chocolate pudding didn't disappoint. The old mill is setting the bar high in newry and we will be back for sure.

We decided to have a late lunch New Year's Eve as we planned on going home early to watch a film and welcome 2017 with Jools. So I booked a table in The Old Mill Restaurant in the Canal Court. We booked it for 2.30pm. We arrived about 2.20 and were seated within minutes. The menu was great with ample choices but we both wanted sirloin steak which was not on the menu. The waitress who was lovely and really helpful explained this would cost a little extra but was no problem at all. I ordered the prawns with wheaten bread my husband did not order a starter. I ordered sirloin steak medium rare with chips onions and mushrooms my husband ordered the same but his steak had to be medium. My prawns arrived it seemed within minutes. They were so fresh and tasty with the creamy marie rose sauce. The wheaten bread was outstanding and almost stole the starter show. It was fresh and complemented the flavours in the starter so well. I would have applauded loudly if this was a performance. My plate had barely been lifted when our meals arrived. The steak looked delicious I cut into it and it was cooked perfectly for me just as I had asked...medium rare. My husband's was perfect for him too. The steak was delicious it tasted succulent and I would say one of the best steaks I have ever tasted. We had a pepper sauce which was lovely but the steak was cooked so well it did not need the sauce. The chips were chunky crispy on the outside with perfect hot mash on the inside. The mushrooms were cooked in their own juices. There can be an overpowering taste of butter on mushrooms but these were perfect.The onions complemented the steak and our red wine just completed an excellent meal. If the main was a perfomance it would deserve a standing ovation.Dessert was delicious. It was a medley but there was one element that stood out the pudding with the cranberry fruits. There was another Christmas pudding on the plate with a white custard, cheesecake, a brandy basket and ice cream. Beautiful flavours. This lunch menu is so reasonable at eighteen pounds. Fellow travellers treat yourselves to a New Year lunch in the Old Mill Restaurant you will not be disappointed. We dined, talked and enjoyed the ambience with an excellent choice of music at just the right level: Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Amy Winehouse. We went downstairs and enjoyed another couple of drinks in the bar which was really busy but staff were so efficient and professional. We left early evening to relax at home but the atmosphere was great and I was tempted to stay a while longer. This meal was all about us...that is what I love about good restaurants we were the focus and because of that and an excellent chef with quality ingredients this dining experience was triumphant!

Myself, my husband and two young children dined in the restaurant on Saturday 1 October for what was supposed to be a birthday treat. The service was very poor - we waited for 20 minutes before our orders were taken, the order brought to the table was wrong, the food very mediocre and to add insult to injury we were charged for drinks that we hadn't ordered, which my husband discovered after he had paid. I had to query the bill and after quite a wait were eventually refunded. This is not good enough Canal Court. A much anticpated night out was spoiled.

Was in the old Mill restaurant on 23 sept for work colleagues retirement dinner with 13 other people.while most of them had ordered steak I went for the pork.the people were served there steak first plus had there vegetables served to them plus mash etc while I still waited for my main course.i was last to be served with my 2 pieces of pork and some mash and that was it.when I said to the lady that I had not been offered any veg etc she did apologise and said more veg etc coming around but it was being offered to the people who already got previously. They were now getting seconds while I still had nothing.i told her it was too late and left my second portion of pork on plate as had nothing to eat with it.i got up and went home.I found this very poor service and feel who ever is in charge of the waiter service needs to be more aware of who ever is served last not to forget about them.the key to it is maybe make sure you just order steak.

Ate here recently during a stay at the hotel. Fantastic food and great value menu. Staff are really attentive. Dont like the waiting area at the start though.

Came here as a family to the Restaurant early evening. The place was very busy with a couple of big parties in the restaurant. While some of the food we ordered was excellent the meat all seemed to have been overcooked. I had really fancied the sirloin steak and asked for it medium/ rare but it was medium/ well done and dry. Likewise others found their meat over cooked - rare being more like medium. My wife had also got the duck but it tasted like liver - a clear indication of being overdone. I sensed the place was just too busy for the kitchen staff and our food had been holding for far too long. It needs to go back to being a Restaurant and not a function room!

Food is alway great and value for money. The service is very good and always professional. The Ulster breakfast the next day is a winner in my eyes and highly recommended. A must if you are anywhere near Newry.

Don't get me wrong this place is fantastic. Great atmosphere, service, decor and food. However, downstairs is the granary bar and trust me the food is just as astounding and for half the cost. why pay more, you know?

enjoyed a great meal here, food was fantastic and the service was also fantastic. the restaurant was full but there was more than enough staff on hand to deal with the crowd, Our table was booked for 8.00pm and we were seated on time and despite being full we did not have to wait long for our food to arrive. If visiting Newry give this restaurant a try

The menu here hasn't changed much in a while and I find that the attempts to "modernise" some of the food on offer don't work, e.g. Asian Noodles on starter list do not in my opinion go with many of the main courses which are the standard steak and fish. It would be better to have your prawn cocktail and stuffed mushrooms, etc. Selection of veg presented with food like a Sunday roast - broccoli and cauliflower. Scampi was overcooked and desserts were bog standard - lemon meringue pie filling was like jelly with no real zing. Would like to see them step up a gear and present some specials and interesting choices on menu, perhaps some pasta options?I think it just needs a revamp. Staff are really friendly and very attentive and nothing is of any trouble - reinvent yourself chef and match the quality of service staff

We enjoy fine dining experiences and only comment if something is outstanding - we expect quality, value and service.This restaurant ticked all the boxes - my fillet steak was cooked to perfection, the sides were absolutely delicious, the wine was outstanding, the staff really care and the atmosphere and setting were perfect.We will definitely be back soon - the food, wine, service, setting are 5 star

This restaurant used to be very reliable and consistently good, but the last two visits when I was staying in the hotel were very disappointing. Staff did not react well when I queried that the dish I received was not as described.

In the week before Christmas I had to attend three business Christmas lunches, one in Birmingham, one Manchester and one in the Old Mill restaurant in the Canal Court Hotel Newry.To say the Christmas lunch in the Old Mill stood head and shoulders over the others is an understatement.The quality of the food, the portions, the service, the ambience and value for money were all impressive.Highly, highly recommended

We had a lovely birthday dinner here for four. Food was lovely and a great range of choices. Nice area to sit outside and chat while you wait. RestAurant itself very busy and a bit hard to have a good conversation. However staff very friendly and food good

Lovely food and great for families. The menu is traditional Irish food, really tasty. Potential for entertainment with music, and can book for large gatherings.
