So disapointing. Table not where we requested. No plates with bread selection. No knife to butter bread. Wrong main course delivered, which meant I had to eat my main course alone. Waitress was apologetic and reduced bill. When we were leaving after 9pm the restaurant was empty,think this speaks for itself. Not planning a return visit.

My last few visits to the bar have encountered the same issue...kids running around the bar (there did not appear to be any meals being eaten or served). The food and servers are great but in terms of getting out to relax I don't want to spend it in a creche.

The food is fantastic. But unfortunately the service is far to slow, had to prompt staff several times to get service. To long a wait between courses. Ordered dessert and a pot of tea, dessert came eventually and had to remind staff about the tea, but it never arrived. We decided to get the bill, which of course the tea was charged. Had to ask servicer to remove it from the bill. The waitress I had asked for the tea walked past us 3 times as if we never Ordered this. Pity the service isn't great, because the food is 1st class.

Called into the Pheasant on Sunday on our way home from a birthday party in ballynahinch, my husband and I both had the roast beef and our daughter had scampi and fries. The roast dinners were fantastic, the plate had so many lovely flavours, between the wide selection of vegetables, to the gravy and as for the beef it was a nice sized portion so so tender and full of flavour. We were going to have dessert but the maincourse stuffed us both. Service was very attentive also as there seemed to be a larger party in another area of restaurant. Such a gd choice to stop of and dine here, will be back very soon with friends

Absolute shambles Had a table booked and arrived on time, but after we were seated we sat for 30/35 minutes and no one came near us. It was so awkward. The restaurant wasn't busy - 3 tables. Waiting staff walked past us several times. Final straw was having to listen to an argument between chefs (who just wanted waiting staff to bring out food) and the waiting staff. We got up and left and went elsewhere. Unfortunately I cant say anything about their food, but service was shambolic - think twice before coming here

Overpriced and only option was to take 3 courses - no option to take 2 courses( for small eaters) Service was slow - meals didn’t all come at the same time. Roast beef serving was adequate but other choices were sparse - vegetables brought were different to what was stated on the menu . Trio of desserts minuscule.

Used to go all the time to The Pheasant years ago but haven't been for a few years due to working abroad. Usually the staff are very good but the particular waitress that showed us to our table had a thoroughly unpleasant manner and clearly not happy to be working on a Saturday night. The menu choice isn't nearly what it used to be and wasn't overly impressed by what was on it. I had the Goats Cheese tart to start which was very small compared to usual portations of this dish elsewhere and it tasted horrible with a texture to match. Was very chalky in texture which was good sign pointing at the tart having been frozen rather than freshly made. Due to lack of choice I ended up picking a burger which the menu really raved about... First off it was £17 and then if you wanted cheese it was a extra £2... Seriously!? Burger arrived bordering on very well done to burnt it had a clear burnt taste that overpowered what was otherwise a very bland tasting dish. Meant to come with mayonnaise there was the mearest suggestion of mayo on it might as well have not bothered at all. Asked for ketchup to at least disguise the burnt taste just so I could get it eaten as I was hungry... Ketchup was the cheapest ketchup ever was pretty much all vinegar so given the prices being paid they penny pinch on giving Heinz at least. I was just going to pay and leave just to put the bad experience to bed but I was asked by the manager how my meal was when paying and I told her the truth and in fairness she did knock the two starters of the bill. In fact she was the only positive thing I can say about the experience she is always friendly and pleasant just a shame her attitude doesn't rub off on all the staff members. Even though we are local I won't be back.

The Pheasant is a good eating house. The toilets could take an upgrade ( this observation can only focus on the male toilets ). 1. The sit down for a comfort break in the public bar is at core poor—- reason being the door cannot be secured closed. 2. The lighting in both gents is of another time ie too dull not sharp and bright. 3.The absence of up to date hand drying blowers is of another time. ( the paper towel holders are most suitable ) 4. The hand washing sink area in both toilets are tired and out of date, electronic mixer taps are the modern way. 5. The various doors have black iron handles. More modern lighter in colour types would encourage perhaps more frequent spray thereof to keep at bay various bacteria. This last point is guilty of all public used facilities. A warm friendly well run premises —- it’s just that the loos have not kept up. Bye for now as they say.

Have eaten here recently on several occasions, and have enjoyed every one. The food has been reliably excellent, William and Denise and staff have been courteous and attentive, especially when we have had our wheelchair-bound daughter with us. One highlight a couple of weeks ago was their Oak-smoked Salmon & Atlantic Shrimp starter with Bushmills Seafood sauce, beetroot & apple, and homemade wheaten bread. It was absolutely spectacular - far and away the best combo of salmon and shrimp I have ever had. On the business dinner I hosted there, two of our party shared the Mad about Meat option, and couldn't finish their portions. Unlike La Scala Bistro I wrote about recently, here the additional dishes of vegetables were generous and interesting, and you could guarantee that none of your party would go home hungry. On a birthday dinner last week I started with Pigeon Breast with Pickled Red Cabbage, which was a little gnarly and tough but tasted wonderful. This is a no-risk choice of restaurant for a good night out, and prices are at or below the average. E.g. house wines £4 by the glass, Mains all under £20 apart from the steaks. Hard to beat!

Extremely great sounding marketing when you read the write up about this mid-week special but I and my family (4) were extremely underwhelmed when we actually tried it. Sure the place is nice and the servers were friendly enough but the quality and quantity of the food offered was questionable. My son and I looked at each other when they brought the platter out; half expecting another one!!! The tobacco onions were fine as was the chicken but the steaks were small in size and fatty. The ribs too were minimal portions and extremely fatty. I've had much better offerings at a fraction of the cost and not on a so called special. Both the blue cheese sauce and Jack Daniels sauce lacked any real flavour. If you're trying to entice someone out mid-week with a so called "special" then either the food or the price needs to be exceptional - this was neither!!

I've been going to the pheasant every once in a while for a few years now and I have to say, I've never had a bad experience. It's warm and cosy inside on a winter's day with the fire lit, and equally as nice a place to sit outside in the sun for a few pints. The food is excellent, steaks cooked beautifully, a good choice on the menu and prices are in and around what you'd pay anywhere in a similar setting. There have been one or two times that I have experienced slightly flustered staff due to a possible shortage of staff considering the amount of customers, but I have never felt like it has affected the service that has been provided. Check it out for a family meal, dress up nice and have a romantic evening, or head out with a few mates for a couple of quiet pints.

OMG this could not have been any better. I’m a bit of a mare when it comes to food, everything plain and well done. I was a bit concerned when I first went in that I might not even find something on the menu that would suit but alas the waitress was fantastic. My two friends ordered straight away the pheasant and the hake I must admit it did look lovely 🥰 but I chose the plain burger, very well done and yes it came out as ordered, no side salad, no sauces etc just the burger and of course the chips, they were perfect. Main down the hatch then onto dessert, I chose the lemon pudding with vanilla custard and again I was not disappointed there was more than enough that satisfied the appetite washed down with a cup of tea that was brewed to perfection. We sat for a while chatting and the staff made no mention of us leaving. They busied about tidying round us, they must have known we hadn’t seen one another in a while 🙄 big thumbs up 👍🏼 and definitely returning. We are going to make this a regular occasion and the Pheasant is the great meeting place, sorry Hillside you lost us.🥲 Food and service big tick ✅ ambiance ✅ plenty of car parking too. 🚙🚕🚗, snugs comfortable and clean.
