We had an excellent evening meal at the Old Pheasant in late October. The barman/waiter was cheerful and efficient. The pork belly was very tasty, and the venison pie was particularly good. Sticky toffee sundae afterwards was massive and delicious.

This was our first visit to the Noels Arms since its relaunch - and it certainly won’t be the last.. We have dined, and stayed at, Michelin starred restaurants like Sat Bains and Le Manoir Aux Quat’ Saisons - and we have to say that the Noels Arms compares very favourably with them. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, the chefs clearly demonstrated attention to detail - and it showed. Although this was fine dining the portions were generous, this was indeed haute cuisine! If you seek something better than normal pub (or Gastropub) food we recommend that you try the Noels Arms, it really is an asset to the town.

Everything at Cheals is just effortlessly impeccable. The service is genuinely the perfect balance between welcoming, friendly yet entirely professional, not contrived, and this is not easy to make you feel such a welcome guest. The afternoon tea and cocktail menu is impossible to find criticism. All in all just fabulous, see you soon!

Beautifully presented and crafted dishes. Delicious food. Little touches makes it special such as an edible flower or garnish. Service was quick and efficient but then we were the only people in the restaurant at that hour! I appreciate that they didn't bother us coming to ask was everything OK all the time...

    We had a lovely evening, superb tapas, superb wine, and a great catch up! The wood burner was going so it was lovely and cosy. Food is always spot on :)

    We had another great experience at Lagan. The food was excellent and all staff were super friendly. Following a take-away a couple of weeks before (the best take-away we have ever had!) we decided to visit for my partners' birthday and it didn't disappoint. We will be back very soon.

    Booked a table for 4 for lunch and we had 5 dogs between us. The staff were very accommodating getting us our table. We all had a delicious all day breakfast and one of them was gluten free, readily catered for. Definitely worth a visit, booking recommended
