The store is surprisingly large and is full of a wide product range in everything it stocks. It has a large selection of fresh fruit and veg , which it sells a lot of specialty items. It has a wide range of olives, obscure tinned items and a very varied deli counter with a wide selection of cheeses and hams to cater to even the most obscure taste. For me the best part about here is the sandwich bar. There is everything here that you would ever want to put in a sandwich. The bread is cooked on site and is always fresh as a daisy, and sandwiches are generously crammed. My personal fave from here is a chicken, mayo and stuffing which is mois and really delicious, Hooray for Hanlons!

Lunch is served from 12-3 and as of late they have had a menu of offerings that will only set you back 6 quid. Don't be afraid to ask for a basket of beautiful wheaten bread if one doesn't come your way! There is a daily board of specials and a set menu that includes meals, sandwiches,burgers, and fry ups/sodas. The specials are always changing so there are plenty of new things to try. When i am really hungry I go for their huge portion of beer battered scampi with salad and chips. I believe this goes for 8.95 and is I believe a real value. Brendans is also a good spot for a few pints and again a friendly staff. This is one of only a few remaining quality restaurants in the town!

Soda, as in bread? Cod bites? We went with haddock & gravy on the side for the chips. Hubby also got a kebab to soak up the whiskey mess that was bound to happen later. I have to say, a generous delightful serving of both the fish n' the chips. Kebab was overstuffed, in a good way.

Instead this stays as another local favourite and for good reason: it does delicious chips and its extensive menu is great too. They offer good value meals deals in here, and everything in here has been really tasty from my experiences. The batter on their fishes is rich and crispy, their burgers are succulent and full of flavour and everything else is equally delicious. They also do homemade Italian style ice cream in here which is really delicious, with milkshake options to act as a post main meal dessert. The staff here are courteous and polite, and the place is kept spotless which is important in shops like this. There is also ample parking out front or to the rear so there isn't the same parking worry for food that many other Downpatrick places would be suffering from!

The new management have re-decorated and really tided up the restaurant. The restuarant is inviting and has a relaxed atmosphere. The menu is slightly more expensive then the cafes which surround the area with lunches starting at £8.00 per person. Booking is advised for the Sunday carvery - this is definately the most popular event at the restaurant. The carvery is delicious with an abundance of food available. I would recommend this restaurant for people who want a proper main meal and not just a quick snack.

The shop is run just like a Dominos in that it is very fast and efficient in making your pizza.

There are excellent offers there like buy one get one frees on Tuesdays, two 16 inch pizzas for £19.50 ( which is a lot of eating!) and a 16 inch pizza and garlic bread pizza. They also deliver to a really large radius which is surprising, as they will deliver up too about ten miles out, although the price does rise according to distance!
