The Malt House in Mount bellew

Update to my review below. Visited again and everything went well. I loved the lamb special. I have added a few stars here now. It's nice to see that the owners are caring. I previously left a 5 star review, but after the change of ownership last year, the food quality unfortunately declined. On my first few visits after the change, all dishes (even salads) had an unpleasant smell, which I assumed may have been to old oil. I gave it a few more chances, as it's the only restaurant in the area, but eventually stopped going after a very disappointing experience with gone off salmon. After a long break, I visited again recently, and was glad to notice that the issue with the oil smell seems to have been resolved. However, there were still some inconsistencies. We were asked how we'd like our steaks cooked - my partner ordered well done, and I ordered medium - but both steaks arrived very well done. The black mushrooms did not look appetizing at all, which was disappointing, as I am a mushroom lover. The chips were quite bland, and the salad did not really appeal eather. I did not raise a complaint at the time as the meal was edible, but I am sharing this feedback in the hope that the new owner might see it, along with other similar comments, and take it on board. The place has real potential, all staff are absolutely amazing! I would love to see its food to return to the standards it once had. I promise, I will be a regular customer then!

Lovely homely venue for food. Excellent menu & a great Pint of Guiness too!!

Food ok, not exceptional for the prices. Good service.

They treated us wonderfully and were able to speak to us in our Spanish language, highly recommended.

Dropped in for dinner on Friday evening, didn’t have a booking, but the staff kindly found us a table. We ordered chicken wings, chicken burger, fish & chips (my friend was delighted as the Chef made it Gluten-free, it’s the first time in years she was able eat it and she was delighted with it!!), and lasagna. We all really enjoyed all our food, it was delicious. We also enjoyed the Chefs homemade Oreo Cheesecake….it was amazing!!! We will definitely be back regularly to try the whole menu!! Thanks again to all the staff we met (sorry we forgot some names )…Chef Al, Gav, Bernie, Shauna and Everyone!

Excellent food and hospitality!

The friendly atmosphere hit me as soon as I walked in the door. The restaurant was busy, but I got a table quick enough. Menu was varied, and the options displayed were clear and concise. The food here was excellent! Lovely portions. Would definitely recommend
