Velvet Rose

Reviewed By Rob039

Called in for lunch en route to Belfast - Velvet Rose Café is set above the boutique in the lovely Georgian Building at the roundabout in Dromore a few minutes from the dual carriage way. Car park at the back a big plus. The menu is extensive, we had the soup and sandwich/steak special both were fresh, delicious and large portions. The kids had goujons and chips/salad which they enjoyed. We had coffees and carrot cake, apple pie with ice cream and cream - all to die for - Service efficient as the café was busy. A friend recommended the restaurant and we certainly would go back again. The interior is lovely modern exquisite décor with lovely views over the main street - all at a very reasonable price.

Wine & Brine

Reviewed By Lazylemon

An utterly faultless eating experience, staff were very accommodating, modest charges for such craftsman ship. Eating here is a educational, a chance to try tip top breads, well rested meats, moist fish, crisp pastry, an endless list of areas where others fail. Equal to the best European restaurants.

My wife and I had heard good things about the Club House Grill Restaurant, so we decided to check it out - and I’m pleased to say that we weren’t disappointed. We were greeted warmly by Christopher who guided us through the menu. The food was delicious and I only wish I had room for all three courses! We found the value, quality of food and atmosphere spot on and we’re already talking about booking a table for Christmas! I had the homemade fish cakes by the way, which I would highly recommended.

Ashvale Farm Shop

Reviewed By Bobbikins

The first waitress, long dark hair and swarthy skin, came over and took the order which arrived promptly.I requested skimmed milk but semi skimmed arrived as apparently they don’t do skimmed milk! Pity the waitress didn’t know! My scrambled eggs were swimming in water and were so close to white they looked like porridge. The second waitress was so helpful and pleasant and took them away to remove the water. They returned just the same so the waitress offered to drain them herself. She obviously did her best but they still had water in them. Completely tasteless! However the other three meals were very good with no complaints.I watched the first waitress look at our empty plates and didn’t bother to clear the table, leaving it for the next available waitress. This same waitress sat and chatted with a customer while my friend stood waiting to order afternoon tea. She ignored my friend, let her stand about and only acknowledged her when I approached. Not much work in this woman and personality minus! Lucky the rest of the staff were lovely.Thank you for your feedback.We pride ourselves on the quality of our coffee. In order that the natural fats in milk are not burned during the process of heating/ frothing milk, it is imperative that only semi and full fat milk are used to ensure quality. We do this under the advise from the roastary from which our coffee beans are harvested and supplied. E.g. Skinny Latte (semi skimmed milk)Latte (Full fat) We apologise for the misunderstanding, but hope we have provided more clarity for you surrounding this issue. We are sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your scrambled eggs. The next time you visit please make yourself known and we will aim to provide you with breakfast on the house.As for our waitresses, in order to ensure the smooth running of the tea room, each one, whilst perhaps unbeknownst to our customers is playing a different role. For example one will be responsible for orders, another for drinks and cutlery, another for clearing tables and so forth. Each one will endeavour to see to your needs within their role as quickly as possible.With regards to your final comments, as well as being a Tea Room, our business has a great number of patrons who become more than simply an order to us. it is not uncommon for our staff to briefly chat to such patrons, as a matter of fact, we feel it is an important part of their job. We trust that it is evident that we are a small family business who value a personable approach.Finally should you wish to book an Afternoon Tea this must be booked in advance by telephoning 02892638099 or by booking at the till area located near the entrance. Regards,Team Ashvale

Gowdys of Down Royal

Reviewed By danielledoc123

We visited today as a family of three for Sunday lunch, and as usual the food was fantastic. The staff are friendly and prompt, and we enjoyed sitting near a roaring open fire. We had the spicy chicken wings and the chicken liver pate to start, and roast dinners for main while my son went for the Jamaican Jerk chicken sandwich. My husband is a chef and was impressed by the roast dinners - proper gravy made from scratch, gorgeous creamy mash and nice presentation. We’ll definitely be back again soon!

Offered a discount off dinner as part of our stay at the Larchfield Estate - 10%.We were a group of 7 birding friends, 3 visiting from Preston, England.The craic was great, the food tremendous, catering well for a gluten-free member, & the service superb. The wine menu was good, with plenty of options; we had a wonderful Portuguese red.Overall everyone was thrilled with the venue, the food & the service. Nothing more to add, but we’re looking forward to dining here again.

Was trying to find somewhere nice for lunch and remembered reading about here in local paper and wasn't disappointed. Only wanted something small but that didn't matter as service was excellent and nice atmosphere. The corn fed chicken dish was to die for, roasted individually and worth the wait. Will definitely be back for more. Very reasonable for the quality.
