The Angler's Rest - Banbridge

Arrived without booking for Sunday lunch. Very welcoming and pleasant staff. Also hard working. Lovely surroundings. Sunday lunch… I would have chosen smoked salmon starter on menu but not available. Battered mushrooms delicious as was wheaten bread. My husbands roast silverside was melt in your mouth delicious. I had a generous portion baked cod which was delicious . The supposedly sundried and white wine sauce… I’m not sure about… . The disappointment was the vegetables. Carrot and parsnip sticks which were bland and tasteless! I’m wondering Were they frozen and plunged into hot water. Abundance of tasty mash and roasties. Would have liked some more quality veg. Would be prepared to return.. but please improve the veg! Only instant coffee available so we declined that. A first visit .. I would return.

We made a reservation for Sunday lunch with an elderly relative and a young child who has limited mobility. We were warmly welcomed upon arrival and seated at a table that was easily accessible, offering a nice view of the restaurant. I chose the turkey and ham, my uncle had roast beef, and my daughter enjoyed the chicken goujons. The portions were generous and the food was delicious. The service was efficient, attentive, and friendly. I would definitely come back when I am in the area.

Today my husband and I had lunch at The Anglers Rest. We often go out on Saturdays and typically park at a hotel we've used before. However, this time we decided to try The Anglers Rest and we were not disappointed. The lunch was delicious and well-prepared. It had been a while since I had a meal that was served piping hot on hot plates, with steam rising from the meat, vegetables, and potatoes. The staff was friendly and the hygiene was top-notch. Overall, we were very impressed and would like to give compliments to all, especially Chef Declan. We will definitely be returning.

We decided to try this restaurant for Sunday dinner after reading positive reviews on Tripadvisor, and we were not disappointed. The food was delicious, the service was friendly, and the toilets were immaculate. The crispy mushroom starter was a standout. I ordered the roast beef main and found it to be flavorful with generous portions, although I would have preferred thicker slices of beef. My wife enjoyed the beef burger, while my 9-year-old son had a half portion of roast beef and my 7-year-old daughter had the chicken goujons, all of which were tasty. As an added bonus, there was a Delorian sports car parked in front of the restaurant. Overall, a lovely dining experience that we will definitely remember if we are in the area again.

We were driving along towards Banbridge when we came upon the Anglers Rest. The building is very attractive and well maintained inside and outside. There is a large car park at the rear. We had not made a booking, and we’re delighted that the staff made us feel very welcome. We had an absolutely fantastic meal. We chose Maryland chicken, with champ, chips and a side salad. We loved the banana fritter too. The meal was delicious and the portions were just perfect. All the staff we spoke to were very friendly, warm and welcoming. I had a pot of coffee as I was driving. My wife had a nice glass of wine from the bar. The meal and drinks were very keenly priced, giving exceptionally value. We can both thoroughly recommend the Anglers Rest. We had a great experience there.
