   I had the steak and my wife had the duck. Both were cooked correctly and very tasty. No need for extra sides and we did not have starter or desert.

   On arrival we were greeted by pleasant young girl who showed us to our table. We then ordered a drink and studied both menus. We started a cheese dish. We then had seabass and a pork dish. At this I must say there was more ample portions. The food was excellent . We did not have dessert but instead had an Irish coffee Our experience was 5 star and would highly recommend the Hillside .

   We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and chose to dine at The Hillside as we have had many wonderful meals there. We were greeted immediately and asked who the Birthday person was and that they would be given the choice of a free drink or free desert. We chose the bread board for sharing and we thoroughly enjoyed the warm selection of breads and spreads. My husband ordered scampi and skinny fries which he thoroughly enjoyed. I ordered the fish with chunky chips and was really disappointed with the fish as it looked and tasted like fish from a freezer pack the coating was soft and not at all crispy, a little stodgy. Fries were dark and over cooked. Unable to finish my meal. I know this is not the usual standard of fare just disappointing.

   The bar was very busy and there were two birthday celebrations going on. But we got a nice table in the restaurant and really enjoyed the food. Because the bar was packed it made for a good atmosphere I enjoyed it.

   We joined Hillside for lunch and to watch rugby, The owner really tried to get the screens and sound for those wanting to watch the six nations, without success, it is a small bar with nooks and difficult to provide coverage all over, Perhaps put screen in restaurant for big matches? Keep bar for quiet pub meals,? I had to ask for toilet roll and soap in the ladies toilets before we ate Otherwise all good!
