We called in for a bite to eat around 7pm. It was totally unplanned and there were quite a few diners in for a Tuesday evening. My husband and I went for the wine and dine menu and my daughter just opted for a main but shared our starters as they are so generous. We had been in a few weeks ago and my husband tried the Hong Kong chicken as a starter and loved it so opted for this as a main. He said it was better than any Chinese restaurant. We love Donegans because of the service from Lynne and Ivan as well as the excellent food. You never leave hungry here. Our bill was about £62! This included wine and a few soft drinks too! Excellent value for money. It really is the best place to eat in Bangor and we are frequent visitors as are many others. The staff know their regulars and I believe this speaks volumes! Give it a try.

Went to a music gig here which was excellent! The room at the back had a full bar with seating which was mostly stools with some bench seating which luckily was comfortable. Packed front bar! Food available which we didnât have but full Sunday roast dinner looked good!

£2.25 for a pint of Guinness. You have the choice of downloading the app where you can pay and order drinks to your table or you can line up at the bar. The location is centrally located and quite large inside. We didn't try the food however saw plenty of people who did. A little dated inside however due to the sheer numbers its understandable. We also noted the there appeared to be a younger crowd. Definately would go back as the price is hard to beat.

We had decided to try this restaurant after checking the menus, as my OH doesnât eat any vegetables what so ever and and it can be hard to find somewhere that he has a choice other than fish & chips, chicken goujons or burger, he settle for the fish cake starter but had to yet again choose a burger as everything else had veg somewhere in it, both our starters were nice, I had the chicken spring roll, he did find the burger turned out dry by the time he got half way through it, but it was very tasty, I choose the chicken & beef in peppercorn sauce with a side of salad instead of the potatoes, although the food was, as I say nice it was the service that let this place down, there was three members of staff on the evening we were there and although pleasant, none of them went out of their way to see if we were happy with everything, the bill was asked for and left on the table, we put the debit card on the saucer but nobody made any move to come and take our payment, two members of staff walked past a few times, so we headed to the bar area to pay, maybe this is what you are suppose to do but if they had said when they brought the bill we would have known what to do, we were not asked if we enjoyed our meal or if everything was ok, so sorry guys but we will not be back. Hi DavidI am so sorry to read about your awful visit with us that has left you and your OH feeling like you would not come back. Actually sorry I have just read your review and can't see why you have left just so unhappy.I have spoken to my staff and let them know I am disappointed that they didn't check if you were enjoying your meal as we pride ourselves on doing this. We do not rush to get customers money but perhaps they should have noticed your card or you or your OH could also have just requested they bring the card machine to your table. If you had let them know your OH didn't like vegetables or if your OH had said himself we could have done most of the dishes without vegetables and offered something in their place. Sometimes it is only a matter of asking rather than writing!!!!I hope maybe you read your review back and realise it is a little harsh to say you won't return due to a couple of tiny things and we prove to you next time we do welcome everyone to our restaurantNicky CaugheyDirector

Stayed in hotel but separate entrance just for pub & restaurant. Excellent, freshly- prepared breakfast. Dinners delicious and certainly ample portions. Good menu. Brilliant, unflustered staff even when really busy. We were a group of 43. (Eccles Community Choir) Much recommended.

Visited the Parlour this afternoon for a late lunch around 3pm. Atmosphere was great with a bustling wee pub! Music playing in the background which was nice and we were able to chat away to each other at the table.Staff serving were more than friendly and very keen to please. Starters: homemade vegetable broth, which was very tasty and just what I wanted on a cold, wet and windy day. Mains: Locally sourced chicken and ham pie, potatoes and veg. Pie was amazing and mash was nice and creamy. I have read some reviews of people commenting negatively on portion size however I was unable to finish all of my main and sadly had no room for dessert. However I will be back to try Chefs Old School Jam & Coconut Sponge and custard. Very reasonable priced paying only £33 for two courses and two pints of soft drinks each. Looking forward to my next visit!

The Auld House is a dated but pleasant country bar. We went here as a family to celebrate my dad's birthday. We had ordered a substantial amount 8 adults (drinks, starters and main courses). I approached the bar with cupcakes for my dad and a chorus of staff voices started saying we can't serve those, you can't bring your own food here because we serve desserts. We felt this was a total over reaction to 12 mini cupcakes and so we ate our meal that was fine got nothing else to eat and left. Very disappointed in our visit 5/10 for the food 0/10 for customer service.Kirsty Thank you for review. All feedback is much appreciated.Your review is certainly unfortunate as we donât normally receive this feedback regarding our staff. Please contact me directly via email at [email protected] take all comments on board and I would certainly like the opportunity to discuss this with you. RegardsStephen

Iâd booked for Sunday evening and it was a restricted menu? Why? The service was just ok as was the food. Would I recommend to friends? NO. Will we be back anytime soon? NO. Not like it used to be at all. Sad really. Hi,Please forgive the delay in responding to this review. We were a bit confused by your comment, "it was a restricted menu", and, as you hadn't mentioned which Sunday you were in, we weren't sure how to answer as we can't recall having a restricted menu on a Sunday.We do have a Sunday menu, which is different to our usual weekday menu. Might this be what you mean? Most, if not all restaurants would have a different Sunday menu because of the demand for roasts etc. and we also offer kids eat free on a Sunday, but we do think there is ample choice on the Sunday menu to suit all tastes.Or perhaps you were in on a special Sunday such as Father's Day. On days like this we would put on a special menu as well as other things like additional entertainment or something special for the kids. Might this be what you mean?In short, we're not sure what your comment about a restricted menu refers to, and we hope your comment on the food is a reflection of your impression of "restricted". We think we're as good as we ever were; it's the same kitchen team, same suppliers etc.If this response has not answered your concern, please, do contact us directly.RegardsMolly Brown's Management Team
