The best restaurants serving British food in Ards South Eastern NI

Myself and my wife sat outside on a beautiful July day. We were a bit early for lunch but had a couple of beverages in the sun whilst waiting. The food turned out to be tasty and wholesome. The service was ok considering how busy they were. A nice spot for a pub lunch with a view across the Lough.

HAD NOT BEEN AT SQUID SHACK SINCE JULY 2023 UNTIL NOW. BACK THEN THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT AND PLENTIFUL. I RECOMMENDED IT TO EVERYONE WHO LIKES SEAFOOD AND SCAMPI IN PARTICULAR. HOWEVER THIS VISIT DISAPPOINTED ME GREATLY. THE QUALITY MAY BE ALMOST AS GOOD BUT THE QUANTITY OF SCAMPI WAS WAS NOT ONLY REDUCED FROM 24 & 23 PIECES PREVIOUSLY TO 14 PIECES NOW, BUT THE PIECES WERE PROBABLY SMALLER AS WELL. PREVIOUSLY GOOD VALUE BUT NO LONGER THE CASE. I AM WONDERING HAS IT BEEN TAKEN OVER BY DIFFERENT MANAGMENT. ALSO PREVIOUSLY PEOPLE SITTING AND ALWAYS TWO OR THREE OF A QUEUE FOR TAKEAWAY. NOW ONLY ONE OTHER PERSON AND NO SIT INS. HAS THE POPULARITY DROPPED DUE TO MY EXPERIENCE OR DID I JUST VISIT ON A QUIET NIGHT?

Never got a chance to try the food , staff seemed more interested in sitting chatting to friends than notice they had new customers.

We had fun We celebrate 🥳 my mother inlaws 70th birthday 🎂

Amazing staff, very friendly and helpful.

Stale naan with curry last night. Getting tired of having to ask at bar when order food for sticky table to be wiped. Food arrived and asked again for table to be wiped and sprayed onto table just about missing the food. In hindsight should have sent food back. Is this worthy of the score on the door?

Lovely selection of light lunches,desserts and scones presented well. Great service from the 2 lads on the counter, our food server was helpful and chatty and the man making the tea even warmed up the cups! Very reasonably priced with obliging staff, stairs or lift up to cafe and not forgetting all the plants downstairs!

Absolutely terrible, the portion sizes where tiny and at a cost of £8.30 for a rubbery kebab we definitely won't be back, avoid this place at all costs
