Fantastic Father's Day 2023 celebration in Chapter V, Moy Co Tyrone. Food was delicious as always. Every dish superbly presented and hospitality outstanding. Sad to hear Chapter V's closing. It will be a big loss in the area. Thanks to Conor and Ellie for the great memories. Wishing you well in the next chapter of your life. ??

If you find yourself near Moy you must check out this restaurant!

Warm welcome with open fireplace and smiling waitresses, drinks and ordering food at the fire before we were brought to our table, very good choice of a wide variation of food on the menu wanting us to order and try nearly everything on it. And the 3 courses each of us had were just as good as they sounded, wonderful presentations and taste and portion sizes, simply a wonderful birthday dinner with family, we loved it and will be back.

We enjoyed a meal with our 6 year old as follows: Starters: Scallops, goats cheese, kids cheesy garlic bread Main course: Hake, spring green risotto, kids steak and chips Dessert: sticky toffee apple pudding and kids chocolate brownie. The food was excellent, so much so that my picky 6 year old cleaned all 3 courses! The attention to detail and the friendliness of the staff made the meal so much more special. Special thanks to Ellie and Karolina. We absolutely loved our dining experience and will definitely be back. Beautiful surroundings with special touches /10.

Excellent service and food. We both had 3 courses plus a bottle of wine for a very reasonable price. The restaurant was busy but not too crowded. The staff were knowledgeable about the wine and helpful on what to choose

We had booked for a pre-Mothers day lunch. The decor was very relaxing and comfortable. The Sunday lunch menu was detailed and appealed to everyone in our party. We opted for the 3-course and every course was delicious. The cheese plate on the dessert menu was disappointing-one piece of cheese( see picture). Will avoid it next time. We came away with a good feeling after an enjoyable meal and good service.

Booked Chapter V for a very special occasion - a 30th birthday and my first mother's day. Had found it in the Michelin Guide and was expecting good things. Turned up at 5.30, the time our table was booked for, and directed to wait at a table right beside the entrance, at the bar, while our table was being prepared. We were given menus and asked if we wanted a drink - as we had our 10 month old who was hungry, we politely declined as we wanted to get to our table asap. We also had a few bags eg changing bag with us, so wanted to get settled.At 6pm I went up to remind the waiter that we had booked a table for 5.30. The manager informed me that you order beside the bar first, then get taken to the main restaurant. I have never heard of this happening before and it wasn't explained to us, but nonetheless we ordered immediately to save us waiting any longer. By the time we got taken to our table, we had been waiting for 50 minutes, entertaining our baby! When the waitress came to say our table was ready, my husband was changing our son so I had to carry all our bags and coats alone. The waitress just stared at me and offered no help.We got our main course at 7.10. The table was booked for 5.30, so a significant wait. Perhaps if you were going as a couple and sharing a bottle of wine during that c. one hour wait, it wouldn't have been so bad. But this was mother's day and we had pre-requested a high chair. Even when my baby laughed and tried to interact with the staff, they just ignored. After our meal, no one enquired as to our experience, probably because it was clear that this was not acceptable.I'm not sure whether this is a usual occurrence, but I'd definitely not recommend for families. In my mind, if you book a table for half 5, it should be ready at or close to that time. Waiting for one hour, entertaining a child while clearly having no interest in cocktails or wine, is just not acceptable. Sad that this was on such a special occasion.Kid-friendliness: High chair provided, but all staff members bar one did not interact with my child, and looked visibly annoyed. The changing station is in the public bit of the female toilets only, so my husband had to change our child on the toilet floor, with a mat beneath. Waiting 50 minutes on the table, after specifically booking a 5.30 table to accommodate an early dinner, is a total disgrace.

My visit on Thursday 9 February 2023 to Chapter V was memorable for several reasons. Firstly, I got to share the best culinary experience anywhere in Northern Ireland with 2 friends of mine, one of who had flown into the Province just to be there. They were both suitable impressed, especially when we got to speak with head chef Connor after our meal! Secondly, as I hadn't been here for some years because of the 'lockdown', I wondered if the service would be as good as I recalled it to be. It wasn't ... in fact, it was better than ever, such are the high standards Ellie sets for herself and her front-of-house team, all of whom were cheerful, pleasant, and efficient! And thirdly, the food, which is the most important matter! The food was absolutely amazing! One of my guests, like me, is a bit of an amateur 'foodie' and he proclaimed it to be the very best meal he had ever had, either at home or abroad! My second guest, the one who had flown in from England, is renowned as being a bit of a 'food dinosaur', and that's by his own admission! So when he managed to get through his main course of well-done sirloin steak without asking for HP sauce ... it was a victory for all my cajoling and praise indeed of the quality of Connor's culinary skills. My guests were absolutely delighted, but I was ecstatic! My starter of smoked duck served pink was delightful and just the right quantity and quality to set me up for my mains. For mains, I had the venison served pink with an exceptionally rich jus ... which was phenomenal. Dessert was a simple but outstanding Panna cotta that just melted on the palate. All in all an amazing night, with amazing service and amazing food, and best of all great value for money! As Tina said, 'simply the best!'

All I can say is the place is Magic. As soon as you walk in. The staff are amazing. Food is the best quality and fantastic to look at. Would give this place 10 stars if I could. Would highly recommend for any meal. Thank you so much for the great day and wonderful service.Kid-friendliness: Great kids menu with a great price and large portion

Just back from a family dinner for Mothers Day, couldn’t fault the place, from the moment we walked in the service was brilliant, food was delicious. Such a blessing to have a place like this within local area. Thank You & Keep up the good work ??

I had the crispy tofu, although the tofu tasted lovely, a nice crispy coating with a kick of chilli, the dish as a whole was rather disappointing. It comprised of crispy tofu, a very small dish of lack lustre coleslaw, and a very small dollop of gochujang sauce. The dish was very dry and lacked balance, it needed a sauce or vegetables to balance out the amount of tofu on the plate. I chose a side of miso roasted vegetables, but they were very al dentè and had no flavour. It has the making of a lovely dish, but needs that little extra something to elevate the dish.Vegetarian options: Crispy tofu, butternut squash risotto, veg curry.

Chapter V has gone from strength to strength. Conor and Ellie McCabrey are a great husband and wife team who have surrounded themselves with friendly and helpful staff that makes it special. Apart from well presented and beautifully cooked food, there's a deep instinct to offer what people really like, and to do it well. Sourcing local food as well as growing their own organic produce brings a uniqueness to the experience. A place to return and return again.

I didn't much like the surroundings and the food, well, some of it was very nice and some of it was very nasty. I came away wishing that I had gone somewhere else. Other diners seem to like it and maybe we hit it on a very off day, but maybe not. I judge my visit to have been poor value.

Last night was my first time at Chapter V. Service from front of house to servers was first class. I had the steak cooked perfectly. Food was excellent. Real hidden gem. Will be back ...
