Matties Meeting House — Restaurant in Northern Ireland

We came across this place by looking on Google after a walk the pictures look great, Not anymore. We first had a drink here on the 28th May 23. We were met by a female behind the bar with no customer service whatsoever, no hello, no smile & no conversation nothing. We then by accident ended up her again after getting lost and in need of food on the 5th June 23 so we reluctantly went in. This time the lady behind the bar was very welcoming and bubbly. We sat outside my husband sat on a chair which broke, he told the young man and he said people stand on them to turn the heaters on, this was the 2nd chair which was broke. Managed to find another chair. The table was sticky, we asked for it to be cleaned which it was with cold water and no detergent, hence it was still sticky. We had drinks and my husband's glass was dirty. Both had the Beef Guinness pie, peas and carrots, both veggies were cold, I'd ordered champ when the young man served it, his thumb was holding the bowl with his thumb in the champ. I didn't eat that side of the champ. Lots of photos behind the bar referring to an awards celebration. Not sure how long ago this was I can honestly say it won't be winning again. The place looks unloved and needs some TLC. We...

The bun was a little dry but the smoked bacon and smoked cheese burger was very good. The soup of the day was "broccoli and cauliflower" so my wife expected a cream based soup. Instead it was more of a vegetable soup also with carrots and celery, though it was still tasty. The salmon was good. For an Irish pub restaurant, in a small town I highly recommend. It was a good way to finish off our...

Not even 1 🌟. Visited on 20/01 Prawns curry is nothing like on the pic, not even handful smallest frozen prawns thrown together with couple of peas in a chippshop curry sauce. Guinness pie reheated from frozen, burger was like a rock, chip overcooked so much that you can not even fork them, the choice of veggies was only carrots, peas or mushrooms, ferrero Roche cheese cake is actually a choco powder cheese cake with ferrero Roche sweet on the top, coffee is poor quality and cold. Very disappointed. We went with friends (big company) and only their company and respect for them kept us from sending food back and complaining. Don't waste your time and money - lots other places around with great food...and...
