Loved this place, Tracey was amazing very friendly, i would highly recommend this place clean and tidy booths prices are reasonable we had the cheese burger with American cheese and chips, burger patty was fresh chips were nice for desert i had the strawberry milkshake which was really nice and thick, we will definitely be coming here again.

Much improved since the changes . Food was great, very enjoyable

Nadeem is now Lagan under a new management. Suraj is a great host. Outdoor area is spruced up. They have a great spread and drinks including cocktails.

Staff are amazing.... Great selection of food which was well presented...set along side the canal...

awsome place, good food and good service but i looked high n low and could not find a stable or any animals, this place is not a farm !

I went recently for a roast dinner and the food was amazing, great selection and amazing quality. Drinks were served quickly and with a smile from the bartender sophie who made our experience great. Would definitely come back!

visited this venue on saturday 07.12.24 for drinks with friends we had table service for the 3 hours we were there and the service provided by Kayla was outstanding. She was polite and pleasant and as there was 8 of us she cleared a table when one came available so we could all sit together. she made sure that we was all good for drinks throughout. very pleasurable evening. the pub has recently been refurbed and i can say for the better. will certainly come back.

Great food although not cheap £12 for a large breakfast coffee is extra. The staff are friendly enough my issue was the amount of dogs within the cafe along with their inconsiderate owners , I have an allergy to dogs and found it concerning that there were dogs sat on the seats one in particular slobbering over the table the owner of the animal was completely oblivious even letting it lick her face round the mouth areaI found this disgusting. If someone had a food allergy I’m sure that the staff would be sure to enable the customer didn’t come into contact with what ever it is the person is allergic too however dog lovers are selfish and think everyone should be a dog lover this is certainly not the case. Dogs should be kept outside where food is being served it’s unhygienic to say the least the staff seemed to turn a blind eye it was totally unacceptable environmental health should take a look.

I was enjoying a pint outside the Boardwalk in the afternoon on Sunday 27th October 2024 when one of the staff came around clearing the tables. She rather curtly enquired if I was ordering something as this was ‘the cafe area’ and the pub area was ‘over there’. It was a busy afternoon and I couldn’t see any places to sit ‘over there’. There is no signage to indicate the relevant cafe and bar areas – several types of tables are in use outside so the difference wasn’t obvious; it wasn’t evident that there even was a differentiation. Indeed, there were two vacant tables adjacent to mine, so it wasn’t as though I was preventing other customers from sitting down. I abandoned my drink and left the site immediately as I found the incident acutely embarrassing having taken place in front of other customers, and will not be returning. There is a clear need for improvement both in staff training in customer respect and courtesy; and in the signage outside the refreshment areas on the site. Subsequently, I contacted Mercia Marina who forwarded my e-mail to the relevant establishment on-site but they did not even deign to reply. Clearly, they have no interest in customer satisfaction. Mercia Marina needs to take responsibility for all the businesses in situ, as shortcomings in one outlet reflect badly on the reputation of the entire site.

Called in for lunch staff were cheerful and helpful. Dawn took our order and brought our food to one of the outside tables plus a bowl of water for the dog. We both had the carvery salad which we enjoyed. A relaxing experience as a stop on a long journey.

We've eaten from here before and it was good. However, this time was very disappointing. I had the crispy beef strips in batter. I have these regularly from my usual Chinese so I expected them to be similar. Unfortunately they were just batter - I cut into one and it had the thinnest strip of beef in it that I just couldn't taste. Portion sizes were good but maybe focus on the quality of food as opposed to quantity.

Only 5 minutes away but the chicken and fried were stone cold. Gravy and rice were hot

Left wrong house home owner was refusing food all cold

Great offers on, we got BOGOF cream tea of scones and a pot of tea, amazing value. Lovely garden outside. Always friendly and helpful staff.

Ordered food through the drive through and the employee rushes myself and had to tell them to wait whilst we was still thinking on what we was having. Once we got the order and got home found they had made numerous mistakes and when we phoned them was talking g to them then they just hung up and tried numerous time calling g them back they just couldn't be bothered to pick up. I would certainly not go back there again also would advise other people to give this place a miss
