Came here because I was craving american style chicken wings, only to find them soggy and overcooked. I raised this to the server and he said they “slow cooked” the wings 🥴🥴 which is unheard of for American-style chicken wings because they’re usually deep fried, air fried, or baked in the oven. It was just clear that it wasn’t fresh. Don’t come here expecting american style chicken wings, styling themselves as an american diner restaurant is misleading.

We picked a bad night. A private party had booked for later on but arrived 45 minutes early. It got very noisy but the staff compensated us without any complaints from us. The food and service wasn't the issue. This was beyond the serving staffs control. Would definitely go back.... hopefully no surprise parties next time.

Size of my fish was only positive part. Everything was almost drowning in fat. Onion rings should be renamed oil rings. The strangest thing is that the fries, even though they were dripping with fat, were not fried but undercooked (I found some that were almost raw). I understand that it was quite a busy evening, and that could explain some issues but I probably won't go back there. Update after few times something horrible happened to me and my family. First time for a long time I had to face cronyism and potentially racism. It hurts when it happens, especially that my whole family was involved. We placed and online order in our favourite chip shop Dolphin. It's not a first time, but definitely last one. When we arrived there was 3 maybe 4 other people. After us another large batch of customers arrived. How surprised I was that everyone was served before us. I'm a professional chef and I know how restaurants and bars work out orders. Yes You can serve some small order first, but not everyone else 🤬. Just because we were not born here we classify as people second category ? Of course friends of lady who run it were served first ... they are more important than we are, than all other and we were left to be served as last after 25 minutes of waiting !!!! Orders are timed but it didn't matter and I just seen my slip was placed last. Well dear Dolphin Dungannon if my money isn't hood enough I'll happily spend it somewhere else. But it's not that hurts the most. It's a fact that just based on someone orgin someone decide that one is more important than others. It's a dark day for me as I always said the most beautiful thing about Northern Ireland is fact that people are so nice. #Racism #Cronyism #BadService #Discrimination #NeverAgain

Warning! Security a major issue at this hotel. A year ago, a group of us (6 women) stayed here for a university reunion. Around 2am, a drunken, naked male guest burst into the room of one of our group and exposed himself while she was lying, terrified in bed. After screaming at him, he left only to re-enter a second time a few minutes later. She had locked the door after the first intrusion so it was with horror that she realised he was using a hotel key card. She screamed and thankfully, he left again. The police were called and investigations began. We learned that the intruder had entered other rooms. CCTV showed drunken male guests running through the corridors around the time the incident occurred. We later learned that the hotel is largely unmanned. Access to keys behind Reception appeared to be easy. The locks on a lot of doors were flimsy with no extra chain lock available. We assumed that the intruder would quickly be found. However, the police told us (reportedly) that the hotel did not co-operate fully and the case was closed after 6 weeks! We have put pressure on the police, at various levels, for 12 months to re-open the case but unsuccessfully. We all felt that telling the truth by leaving a review, would severely damage the business/reputation of this small hotel. With no resolution to the enquiry, we now have no choice but to protect other female guests and stop them from making the same choice.

UNFORTUNATELY Cape to Cairo Shildon is closed now. Totally unexpected find in Shildon. Very interesting and different menu cooked by one of the owners who is from Sierra Leone and therefore had her own take on all the dishes on the menu. Both the chef and her husband are extremely friendly and made the visit even more memorable. We were fascinated to find that the first passenger railway in the world started outside the restaurant (which was a pub in those days) and passengers bought tickets actually in the room we were eating in. Well worth a visit and we'll be back soon

Nice venue, nice staff and good service, but dire Sunday lunch (two Sundays in a row: we'd thought the first must be a one-off bad experience); and given that's what we were there for, we won't be back: chewy slices of beef; very fatty, gristley and 20% inedible lamb; roast potatoes completely uncrisp, big and flabby; undercooked parsnips; Yorkshire pudding dried-out to a crisp; leaving ok carrots and gravy!
