Ardmore - Derry

We stayed at the hotel for three nights. Wonderful. We ate at the restaurant that was supposed to be “ cuisine “. It turned out to be pub style both upstairs and in the downstairs “ pub”. Exact same menu. Burgers fish and chips. Nothing more and poor quality and flavors. Disappointed to say the least. Tried a second time and nothing to order any better a second night so the menu doesn’t change. Ok for a quick plain meal but defiantly no where near fine dining.

My wife and I attended my works dinner dance on Saturday 8th December. The event was held in a permanent marquee adjacent to the main building but don’t let the idea of a marquee put you off as this place is fully heated has its own bar and toilets and I’d beautifully decorated to a very high standard and to be honest once inside you would never know you were inside a marquee. The food was excellent and service was really efficient I think I counted about 140 people all seated at the same time. This is the second year in succession my company has used this venue and I hope they continue to do so for years to come. I have no complaints what so ever and would highly recommend this venue.

We did not stay here, but had dinner on the recommendation of a friend who is from Derry. She was not wrong great food, friendly, efficient service and a beautiful location. Previous diners include several Presidents of the USA ! The next time we are in Derry we will stay here as well as eat here as the location is so wonderful.

Staff are lovely but service is slow. Starters were excellent but mains ranged from acceptable to poor. Chips were hard and undercooked, very lazy salad handful of rocket salad from a bag no dressing or any other garnish. Small and over cooked burger. Considering the price and the hotel 4 star rating I’m not sure the Beechill Gastro pub is worth a second visit. Overall an expensive and disappointing night.

We are locals to the Beechill Hotel. In recent months, following the change of ownership, the hotel and cuisine has generally gone down hill. Service in the bar areas is practically non-existent, with the food in the bistro bar being anything from 'just ok ' to awful. It is such a shame. Many locals have now decided to give the Beechill a miss over recent months. Let 's hope the management can turn things out in respect of general service and food quality.
