The best restaurants serving British food in Down South Eastern NI

Perfect place, delicious food. Great people and craic.

We choose Newcastle for a 50th Birthday celebration as we had visited Hugh Mc Cann's/O'Hare's many times. Throughout the process of planning, staff were helpful, friendly and nothing was ever too much trouble. When we finally arrived, again staff could not have been more helpful. Lee helped us immensely during the decorating of the venue space and found us everything we needed with a smile. He was fantastic from begining to end. The rest of the staff are a credit to the owners as they are all fantastic, friendly and so helpful. Another mention to Mark who was our barman for the evening. He smiled throughout, took everything in his stride and even found our cake box for us in the end! Thank you all so much for a memorable weekend.

Be careful with times with this cafe, signs on the door and online state they close at 4.30pm. Called in today at 4.03pm and was told kitchen closed at 4pm, very disappointing.

Ordered at 5.30pm delivery time said 6.30pm, it's now 7.30pm and still no food been delivered. Not the first time this has happened either but will definitely be the last as I won't be ordering from here anymore.

Great food freshly made chicken fillets which are actual fillets not some processed meat, chips which are crispy but not burned, really recommend as I'm really picky on food with my kids

Having been to the Millbrook Lodge for meals on several occasions we booked for 4 nights hoping to be given the room with the balcony over the front door. My delight knew no bounds when we walked into the Shaw suite ~ and opened the door onto the balcony. It was just wonderful, thank you. An added benefit was that the TV was not on the ceiling! We were a little disappointed not to have a bath but the shower was powerful and very good. The menu we knew would be well varied. I particularly appreciated the Indian food. The desserts were generously portioned and there were also plenty of well cooked vegetables. The furnishing in the dining room was comfortable. We enjoyed the view and each meal time we watched a Robin feed and play on his patch. We discovered the lounge on the first floor and appreciated it on several occasions. The garden. Wherever does one begin? First I think, the seating. Wee benches, park benches and all sorts in all sorts of nooks, crannies, gazebos and shelters. Literally acres to wander round and so much to see! So many trees and shrubs all at different stages of flowering. Lovely cultivated garden flowers and for myself, wild flowers in abundance. Primroses, Gunnera, Violets, Cuckoo Flower, Golden Saxifrage, Wood Anemones, Bluebells, Wall Pennywort, American Skunk Cabbage and no doubt many more that either I have forgotten or have yet to flower. The three courtyards equally delightful in the hot sun or the cool of the evening. We were able at any time to find a quiet corner to relax, read, knit or chat and the ever smiling staff would cheerfully deliver drinks or anything we wanted. The staff were friendly, kind and helpful at all times from the Housekeeper to the waiters, receptionists, Managers ~ Uncle Tom Cobbly and all. We felt that we could do no wrong and that it was their delight to please. Leslie and I have stayed in most hotels in Northern Ireland at one time or another. Most are good; some are very good. Millpark Lodge goes right to the top of our list. In our estimation it is without doubt the best hotel in Northern Ireland and we are very grateful for each happy detail. Thank you.

A school uniform for my children...just in time.. and some treats for the dog from next door.. at K9Bonus...I love Ballynahinch...country...good value and a bit quaint!

Customer service was appalling. Found stains on my cutlery. Kids never ate anything since they tried the food and the meat was more on the raw side. would never ever visit again. wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy..

Great crac with staff, food is great

The triple cooked chips were the best I’ve tasted in England. I’m from Canada and it would appear that all chips (fries in Canada) are crispy and have some colour. We ordered the wrap with sweet potato fritter and the fish sandwich. Both were delicious. Prices are reasonable and comparable to other similar establishments. The place has plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating. The beer selection is fine. Some of the staff are friendly and helpful, others not so much. In the end we really liked the place and it’s conveniently located at the end of a short walk from the 7 sisters.

if I could do minus I would, absolutely rude owner... what do you want.....is not the way to speak to customers.... the coffee was awful.. Avoid avoid avoid
