The Old Mill - Newry and Mourne

After reading a review about small portions, my girlfriend and I decided to try out the restaurant for ourselves. We started with garlic bread and chicken goujons, which were delicious. The mains arrived and we were pleasantly surprised by the generous portions. I had the Sirloin with Chips and she had the chicken Maryland with champ, both of which were fantastic. The meal was perfect and priced at around £80, which we felt was reasonable. We will definitely return for another try at the steak!

I recently dined at the Old Mill restaurant for a family event (holy communion) with 5 adults and 1 child. The service was excellent, although there was a bit of a longer wait than usual, which was understandable given the current situation. The waiting staff were great and even included a lovely touch of a card for the communion child. The food we received was delicious and very tasty. However, I was disappointed with the portion sizes. We decided to forgo starters to fully enjoy our meals, but the portions were quite small. For example, the steak came with only 2 onion rings on top and a small bowl of chips (about 6 in total). The chicken dish consisted of a small chicken breast on a spoonful of mash and 2 slices of carrot, with a drizzle of gravy. No extra vegetables or potatoes were offered. We left the restaurant still feeling hungry and ended up ordering a Domino's pizza later that night, which seemed excessive for a bill of nearly £200. While the service and taste of the food were great, the portion sizes were disappointing. Given the current circumstances, I would not choose to dine here again. I would recommend the restaurant to consider offering more generous portions, as vegetables and potatoes are not the most expensive part of the meal. Overall, we would have stayed longer but were disappointed and just wanted to go home. The communion boy had a great day and we didn't want to take away from that.

I recently visited The Old Mill for dinner for the second time, and I was very impressed. The staff, as always, were exceptional. I enjoyed a delicious squid starter and a generous portion of chicken supreme for my main, accompanied by fondant potato and asparagus in a tasty sauce. I also indulged in a 500ml carafe of house wine. The total bill came to £21 for two courses and £12.50 for the wine. While I appreciated the fixed menu offered on certain nights, I would suggest adding some specials to keep things fresh for repeat visitors like myself. I was slightly disappointed that the menu remained the same as when I last visited in December.

Pleasant surroundings good food and very good value. Staff are very pleasant attentive and the service is of a high standard. Would recommend.

Lovely food excellent staff . Food arrived at table piping hot the way I like it. Staff were friendly but maintained a professional approach throughout. Well trained
