The best restaurants serving British food in North Eastern NI

I only put stars so I could ask - is this place EVER open?? Tried to take the family to dinner there and it's just never open, no info online about how to contact them, is there some kind of secret club that im not in? I'll change my review to five stars if the management actually reply with how on earth to make a reservation!

36 min wait and request for ‘excuse me but, any idea where? etc met with ‘it’s on its way’. Lady floor supervisor clearly had enough of it all. Find a job you like and makes you smile. 10 mins later the saddest breakfast I’ve ever had slid across the table. Nothing hot. Bacon burned. Awful. Avoid at all costs. Accept it must be grim serving there with the masses BUT hey, dig a little deeper for some customer service. Maybe lunch menu and a drink in the sun better BUT brekkie…nah last time I got there. Didn’t have time to send it back. And this review will do for now. Happy Christmas all.

Worse meal,burger was tough bap was stale, didn’t eat our meal manager said it was because it was busy

So, I had a fry here before and it was a very positive experience, friendly staff, good food, freshly prepared. All good. So I was passing by again and thought, 'there's that place I had that really good fry!'. So I called in. I don't like egg or mushroom so always ask them not to include, same as last time. They usually put an extra piece of bacon or something to make up for it. And they did. I had quite a deep plate just swimming in beans. Like, an ocean of beans. Seriously? Who can cope with that quantity of beans??

Food is very over priced for all you get. Ordered chips and curry sauce, handful of chips in a burger box and curry flavoured water at the bottom of a tub. Was obs curry powder and not proper curry. Hardly any in it for £6 total. Wrap was tiny on its own and was like over £7. Coffee was grand apart from not tasting like white chocolate. Disappointing as you expect more when paying those kinds of prices and over £4 for delivery. Total was like over £20!

Very nice restaurant 🍴, good food 🍲 friendly staff, does specials for the elderly on certain days, upstairs, does not serve alcohol.

Far too expensive for all it is

Just visited Moe’s Grill again a few hours ago. The roast for today especially if turkey and ham is exceptional. Great food, friendly staff, easy parking and nice ambience, good value BUT one complaint!!!!!! Too much food! A rare complaint but every time we leave, having eaten too much even when just having a main course and a beverage. PLEEEEESE CUT PORTIONS BY 10% at least. Happy to pay the same price for less. I’m sure others think the same. We would be there even more often but we have to make sure we are really hungry. Otherwise 5 Stars and keep up the good work.

Decided give this restaurant a second chance after being there in July as the food was amazing but the service was awful due to a mix up with starters and waiting over an hours for main course after the kids meals came and another hour to be offered a desert but put this down to being busy holiday week in July and decided to try it again on Sunday. Returned on Sunday for a family meal on the bank holiday weekend and wish we had not bothered. The food was once again excellent couldn't fault what we had but the service in this establishment really lets down the amazing food. We were shown to our table for six which had been booked well in advance of Sunday and it was on set for five. The service was really slow when we ordered drinks waiting some 20 minutes, the ice having melted in the soft drinks when we received them. When eventually we came to order we had been given the wrong menu and there was no soup for starters as per menu. The person behind the bar shouted at one of the waiters across the restaurant rather abruptly for the whole restaurant to witness this argument. Apart from this our starters came out and were beautiful. This is where it went downhill. It took ages for our starter dishes to be collected and our main course to arrive. The waitress was so rude and unhelpful. One waiter was wiping sweat from his forehead all over his hands and then lifting customers plates. When my beautiful Sunday roast arrived I enquired where was the Yorkshire pudding as on the menu. To be shouted at that the had ran out no explanation when plate arrived or no alternative offered. We had also ordered a chicken burger on the menu and when it arrived it had no side order. when the order was taken this was not highlighted that it didn't come with a side or we would have ordered, but the response from the waitress was really rude and we made do with what we had and shared out. As if we had ordered additional who knows how long we would have waited as we waited so long for the mains to arrive leaving my son with his main meal of the day just a burger. Now as someone who makes Yorkshire puddings regularly they only take 25 minutes to replenish and make a new batch and considering the length of time we waited between courses this should have been no issue or was very bad planning for portions of roast beef. We waited a further 40 minutes from finishing our main courses in the hope we would be offered a desert menu (this was the problem the last time waiting over an hour for this despite asking twice). However, this was no offered and we went and got the bill despite each waiter walking past our finished plates at least five times and each waiter clearing empty tables of glasses. Surely it is in the interest to look after guests in restaurant rather than clear tables at this stage in a nearly empty restaurant. Not once in the two plus hours we were there were we asked was our meal ok or did we need anything. we ordered a second round of drinks as our main courses arrived and they were delivered after we had finished eating and stacked our own plates. Food is excellent but service is really poor; Paid the bill and when got home realised that despite all main meals being £10 we had been charged full price for one. Wont be rushing back despite the high quality of food as service truly lets down and doesn't make for an enjoyable dining experience.

Really enjoyed our dinner this evening, I had sea bass and it was gorgeous, the scallops were beautiful as well, and our desserts were delicious, a first class meal and welcome at the bureau In Whiteabbey, we will be keen to go back again!

I know the crannagh has now changed hands and the permanent staff there are another company now. My wedding was one of the last one by the arbutus catering. I was so happy with the service we received from arbutus catering. Barry and his team are fantastic, cannot recommend them enough to people. Denise was the lead for our wedding and she was amazing, replied promptly to all enquiries and was a warm, friendly personality. Our guests thought all the staff were fantastic and hard working. The barman was kept busy all day but he was always smiling and joking with my friends and family. The food was spectacular, our trio of starters were amazing and guests were brave enough to try the salted chilli squid and said they would definitely order that again when out. Totally changed their minds on seafood. We had a bbq for the main and platters were carried to the tables. Guests had the choice of chicken, steak, burgers, pork fillets, chicken drumsticks or hallomi and various side salads. The food was to such a high standard and guests loved it. My farming family were definitely well fed. We finished it with a dessert of peanut butter cookies and ice-cream which was perfect for a hot summer day. The staff were very professional and kept the day ticking over smoothly. I could not fault it at all. The evening food of bbq pork sliders and chicken goujons with chip cones went down a treat! The crannagh is a gorgeous venue for a laid back relaxed wedding. We were able to put our own stamp on it with our decor. The views of the river bann are stunning. It made for gorgeous pictures at the golden hour. Cannot recommend this venue and the catering enough to people.

When for lunch with my wife had the salmon my wife had sizzling chicken both meals lovely only thing to spoil it was the noise and disturbance that a crowd off travellers made couldn't hear what my wife was saying hence to say we left as soon as we finished our main meal manager didn't try to ask them to keep it down as there was other diners It wasn't only us that left a few other tables did the same

Went to moes on Wednesday the 7th of March to avoid mother's day rush...what a disappointment!!! The sauce was obviously watered down to make it go further and utterly flavourless! The food was cold and unacceptable. The service abysmal, and between the burping waitress or the one who couldn't wait to get home I don't know which was worse!! I wouldn't reccomend this cold scruffy place to anyone!! Also getting charged for sides WHICH WERE INCLUDED as stated on the menu!!! I could go on and on....

I got the chicken and broccoli pasta and it was so bland,I can honestly say I'd prefer the bachelors packet one you make at home yourself.the broccoli was raw just horrible.have ate in here a few times before and it's not good at all.will be the last time ☹️☹️

Hadn't used one of these before as I thought it was a little too much california coffee shop but was very pleased to be able to get a good quality fry. It was the last item on the menu on the flashy screen on the wall and I felt a bit under pressure deciding what I would have in the queue at the till. Still It was very good, very well presented and I was able to swap the beans and black pudding for other items which is great. More room inside than I had thought and I would definitely be back.
