Lodging in Newry, Northern Ireland

“We had a child's communion party there. There were a few tables in the hall for the same occasion (understandably), but they took more than they had the means to. The waitresses were running around like rabbits to get everything done as good as they can. The main dinner were served like in some homeless restaurant (you had to stand in line to get your meal) - that shouldn't happen in a respectable restaurant. The DJ showed up long after the desserts were eated - when everything had been taken from our tables and it was empty, most likely so that we would continue to spend a lot of money to order something (we left a lot of money there anyway). What's more, my son (it was his day) asked for a scoop of ice cream (without cake) instead of dessert from the menu, and the waitress told him in an indignant voice that they didn't have any ice cream (ice cream was an addition to the cake). He was very sad when he saw that children at another table were eating ice cream (without cake), luckily another waitress didn't make a problem and gave my son an ice cream. I don't recommend organizing special events there. I am very disgusted.”

“I’ve eaten dinner in here the last two nights. Staff are fantastic and the food is absolutely delicious.

EDIT: back here 6 weeks later and it’s just as brilliant. The food is just as brilliant and the staff are incredible. You have to try if you’re in the area!”

“A great experience from doing business with Martin Bros. I've been a customer for the past 4-5 years and always had great service. Very friendly and helpful family run business. Highly recommended.”

“I had x2 items of furniture delivered today from the stores clearance range. I had been unable to view these items in person as I live in England but I was assured by Hoggs that these Items would be package well for transit and they suggested a furniture courier company to use as the store didn't deliver to my area. I have been very impressed with the whole service, staff have been very helpful and I am thrilled with my new furniture.”
