The Speckled Hen Lisburn

Had booked as a thank you for a friend and a treat for my mum. We all had the fish pie which we agreed was the best we had ever tasted. Atmosphere, staff and service all perfect. Would highly recommend

Popped in for a light bite with my daughter today. Service was terrible and the food not much better. Doesn't come as described on the menu, staff unwilling take any adjustments. When our plates were collected and we were asked, for the first time since receiving our meal, if our food was OK, we responded with it was just OK. Our plates were removed and we were ignored for the rest of our visit. No offer of drinks or desserts, rude and uncaring about the whole customer experience. We ordered bangers and mash, which was bland and didn't come as described on the menu, no veg and raw, floury fried onions and two items from the small plate menu. I asked for the honey chilli which was supposed to come with Asian slaw, see picture for tiny soggy salad with rotten veg, chicken was hard, dry and over cooked. Absolutely will not be returning. Avoid.

Just had Sunday lunch with wife and son. Food was not acceptable standard for price. Potatoes tasted like powdered smash and had lumps in them. Roast beef had absolutely no taste. Roast potatoes tasted like frozen ones. Noone finished their food. £2.20 for 200mls of flat coke. What a joke. I used to love this place. What the hell has happened to it. We most definately will not be back. Such a shame as always loved this place.

Not been here for a while but still as good as ever. Starters were good (Guinness pulled beef croquets and fish taco). The rump of roast beef was superb. A nice thick piece of beef rather than thin slices. Didn't get to dessert, as we were quite full. Also tried Thatcher's Blood Orange cider, really good.

AWFUL.I’m aware that businesses are struggling, as our many households. Daylight robbery! We as a family often eat out all over Northern Ireland and beyond. The price of this dinner was catastrophic, daylight robbery for such poor quality. I have no complaints about the staff, I found them very attentive and relatively pleasant. Therefore I would have loved to have a word with the owner of this place! Produce was absolutely disgusting. Chips and onion rings are FROZEN. Peppered sauce from a carton. Nothing is home made. We struggled to eat it. Very disappointed to say the least. I felt very let down actually. Prices are shocking when you compare cost and quality to other beautiful, affordable restaurants our country has to offer. AVOID
