Frair Tucks - Newry and Mourne

I had the fish and chips meal and it was absolutely fantastic. The gravy on the chips was amazing. Additionally, the restaurant still provides plastic straws, which allowed me to fully enjoy my coke.

In one word: disgusting. The food was terrible, staff was unfriendly. Complete waste of money as nothing was edible. The fish was greasy and the chips were hard and cold.

Friar Tucks was always a family favourite. Since they renovated the restaurant it has got worse and worse. The food is now just ok. Portions have got smaller and sometimes ordering can be difficult as the staff don't seem interested in being there. Place needs a good clean. The fact your chair slides on the floor as you are not moving highlights how much grease and dirt is on the floor. If you get a family meal it is a nightmare to get it without salad as the staff say it does not come with any, it does, every time and when you ask for some plated it is like you are giving them a really difficult job to do. Play area has been closed for a few years.

The food was prepared very quickly in just 5 minutes. However, when I got home, I realized that they had forgotten the coleslaw, which was the main reason for my visit to Friar Tucks. Additionally, my wrap was soggy, with sauce leaking out and not properly closed. After taking a bite, I found a thick black hair in my mouth. It was clear that little care had been taken in preparing the food. The garlic cheese bacon chips were disappointing as well, with undercooked bacon and only half full. Overall, it was a waste of money and a terrible experience. I have had decent experiences at this restaurant before, but no customer should have to endure such poor quality, especially considering the £25 price tag.

You can eat in or take away, great selection of chicken and fish dishes and mushy peas on the menu too. Plenty of sit in seating and street parking outside.
