The Poacher's Pocket - Ards

The meal was fantastic, with every course (pork and black pudding fritter, ribeye, custard tart) being absolute perfection. The chef is truly at the top of their game, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was very relaxing. I highly recommend this restaurant.

During our stay in La Mon we decided to try the Poachers Pocket for an evening meal and what a meal it was. I tried the fish with triple cooked chips and mushy peas, delicious. My fiancée had the salted chilli chicken with triple cooked chips and pepper sauce, best she’s ever had she claimed. Dessert next with myself trying the sticky toffee pudding, on my lord unbelievably delicious. She had the ice cream sorbet selection which went down a treat. Fantastic wee place to visit, friendly, attentive staff from you enter the restaurant until you leave, all smiling making for a perfect relaxed atmosphere. Will definitely be back and highly recommend trying for yourself.

Lovely restraunt, good service and good food. BUT a discretionary 10% service charge for FIVE or more customers was too much, then adding that any tips will go direct to your server. Come on its NI not USA.

Well what can i say FANTASTIC!!, We had the Main Menu with wine drinks. Every dish was spot on. The chefs and service staff were excellant. A big shout out to Michael, and Bethan for making our new year day meal special. There were several changes to the booking, Michael and the other staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating with all of those changes. Add to that and the service during our meal and after was exceptional. Thanks again.

My husband and I called in with no reservation when we found ourselves with no kids for the night. We were greeted by such a friendly lady and offered a table immediately...such a friendly welcoming place all the staff were great and the food is simply brilliant... we are so glad to have found this gem and will most definitely be back.
