Me and my mum used to love coming here for food if we were out in Lisburn, but it’s really really gone downhill. Yesterday we decided to go here for lunch and ordered two fish and a chip between us, portion of super sauce and bread and butter.Whether it’s a cost cutting thing or what? All the vinegar bottles look old and the labels peeling off. They must be refilling the vinegar bottles with cheap watered down vinegar or just putting water in the vinegar to save money. Obviously we understand being a business at this time is difficult, but it was absolutely vile as someone who loves vinegar. We kept putting it on and it just kept making the food soggier and soggier with no flavour.Overall the food did lack flavour as a whole, the chips were greasy/oily, and the super sauce was so thick it wouldn’t even move when we turned it upside down inside the metal gravy boat? Which made us both feel totally sick because we ended up seeing a sort of skin on top. We realised it wasn’t totally fresh then.The fish was ok, little bit flavourless, batter could have been crispier but after pouring the amount of vinegar on we did, it probably was ruined anyway due to lack of flavourOn the way out of the restaurant we noticed on the front door a 2 STAR food hygiene rating which confirmed to us that the place has really gone down hill, and actually made us feel totally sick. We won’t be back. Only thing nice was the tea?

I get quite regularly from yourselves but after tonight won't be returning. Ordered to chicken goujan meals with coke and 2 garlic dips and paid for a 3rd one. Was given my meals with only 2 garlic dips when I went bak in to ask for the 3rd one the look I got made me feel uncomfortable and she just turned and walked off. She'd also told me I didn't get drinks as I got the dips but it only registered as I was near home that the first girl tat served me had asked wat drink I wanted with my meals so obviously told bare faced lies to my face when I asked about the drinks. I understand it was busy and maybe stressful but doesn't cost much to be polite. Don't usually complain but felt I had to this time unfortunately

Great takeaway and sit in. Love their lunchtime special meal deals, great value and very tasty. Staff are friendly and while you wait you can relax on the 2 big sofas.

Been here twice. Found staff taking orders rude. I was in for a carry out but as they have a sit in I asked to use toilet. First time they said it was broken by people attending black parade. I said you are fibbing. I ordered fish goujons. Young lady reneged and let me use toilet with broken cistern link.Goujons were really nice.Second visit I ordered a cod fish. Asked to use toilet and was told it was broken. I said you are fibbing. Again she blamed band parade.Fish was ok but small for six pounds fifty.Will think twice before next visit.

Pancakes was like bread doe not cooked Beans heated microwave very small portion have had bigger butter portions with toast Hash browns are frozen food that are deep fried full of grease and unable to eat Eggs on toast was not eggs on toast Eggs was on side Over toasted toast and got 1 slice dry and unable to eat Portion side was very poor and food quality extremely low resembled what you would get in a cheap buffet when the food is questionable Price not so much an issue would rather pay more to get fresh cooker food with bigger portions rather than something that may make me sick

Food is good but expensive. Service is lacking. Drinks order forgotten. Request for sauce forgotten. Staff are pleasant but inefficient. Ambience was good this time. I have been here before and it was very noisy. This time not so.

Food good. Staff rude. Not been here before and spotted it whilst driving by. so in I popped Saw the tables but was informed they were closed. I asked to use toilet but was told it was broken by a rude lady server. I asked was she lying. I then looked at menu on wall. Came back and was made to wait whilst carry out guy got sorted. I eventually ordered fish bites at £6.50, and was surprised when she asked me again if I really needed the loo and was directed to it and saw it could be flushed with lid open. Back to counter for a while and then came the fish bite portions. I went to my van to eat them and they were very good with about 8 pieces of fresh cod. I remarked on the reversal of attitude and even left feeling good. I will try it again.
