My walking group of 24 people arrived en masse for mid morning coffee and scones after a lovely walk along the canal. Four tables of six were set up ready for us with fresh scones. We were given the choice of coffee or tea which was served to us almost immediately. The scones were delicious and as we lingered over them, fresh tea and coffee were brought round again. The staff were helpful and friendly and there was a pleasant and efficient air about the place. Our whole group enjoyed the experience and we look forward to a return visit in a few weeks time. Thank you all.

Had delicious meal and service, as always, and when my elderly mother fell suddenly ill and collapsed staff could not have been more helpful, knowledgeable, discreet, compassionate and efficient. A special shout out to Julie-Anne who went above and beyond, getting cold compresses, sitting with mum until she came around and reassuring us as we phoned for ambulance. We just can't thank you enough.

I took my Wife to Sintons for her birthday. There is hand sanitiser and all tables well spaced, so we felt very comfortable. The owners made sure they spoke to all their guests, which we thought was very nice.I had Christmas Lunch and Ann had the beef. Both were delicious, as we're the desserts. Coffee and tea was complimentary, but we were so full we had to refuse. The service was excellent. Santa came and visited every table with guests and handed out sweets, a very nice touch. Hopefully we will be able to return in the near future

Beetroot and Balsamic!I had lunch today at Sinton’s and what a surprise it was. A simple lunch… but what a lunch and it wasn’t all beetroot and balsamic but additions of salad leaves, orange segments and crumbled goats cheese. The unctuous balsamic dressing added a delicious deep sweetness and brought the entire dish together. There was no scrimping either… a great portion that was both filling and fragrant. I could see this working as a side with the steak, chicken or pork chop. In my case all three sooner rather than later!Eva, Graeme and Lee who served me were informative, warming and efficient and also a shout out to Jules the head chef and his fantastic team who come up with innovative dishes with both modern and classic taste for everyone’s tastebuds.A fantastic afternoon for me … well done Sinton’s

Beautiful Venue with easy parking. We arrived without having made a previous booking. On arrival, we were promptly greeted by a helpful and courteous member of staff. We were given a menu and asked if we would like a drink. We ordered our meal. There were a few modifications to the order but this presented no issues. Ours meals arrived in a timely fashion. It was hot, well presented and great helpings. Very tasty and wholesome. The atmosphere, service and food were of the highest standard. The manager and manageress came over to our table to check that everything was in order. WE WILL BE BACK FOR SURE. Thank you. Jennifer & Maurice.

A modern-ish dining room. Prompt service but let down by the food quality.Several of our party ordered the house burger, disappointing to say the least. My burger was quite dried out and severely overdone. The chunky chips a tad undercooked and hard in the centre. To be honest, if I hadn't been in a larger party I would have sent it back. Some of our party also ordered a knickerbocker glory, this arrived on a plate, which I have never seen, as it usually arrives in a tall fluted glass. Would not recommend this restaurant to others. Far better venues in the same area with a much higher standard.

I have been a regular customer here for several years now. I can honestly say I have never had a disappointing, or, even average, meal. The menu has something for everyone, and if it doesn't, they will accommodate you without hesitation. The service is second to none as well. 5 stars genuinely isn't enough.

Disappointed with my food and also the lunch menu. The menu was 60% chicken dishes. Even the roast of the day was roast chicken and bacon. My aunt wanted a fish dish. All on offer was salmon and prawn with wheaten bread or whiting fried in batter. A nice piece of cod salmon or sole with fresh vegetables would have been a nice choice. I ordered the lambs liver with bacon and onion gravy They asked how I wanted it cooked I said medium but when it arrived it was well done. V soft almost like pate. Lots of mash and one little piece of parsnip. The bacon was the only saving grace. Also the flat white coffee I ordered was 90% milk with very little taste of coffee I have been to Sintons many times and the food has always been to a high standard. Not sure what has gone wrong maybe it’s a different chef. We both were so looking forward to our first lunch out. Such a shame. Please have more fish and other meats on your menu. Less chicken

My Wife and I had lunch at this restaurant yesterday 28th May 21. Its been over a year since we have been here, due to COVID19 and we were not disappointed. The Staff were as always professionally and friendly. The food is still of the highest quality. We were wary because of the times we are in, but everything in the restaurant is geared to Customer safety. The tables are well spaced and those which cannot be moved have been screened off. The menus are cleaned after each use. The staff wear masks, Customer's have to wear masks walking through the restaurant. All in all, a very pleasurable experience and still a good atmosphere. A Big thank you to the Owners and their Staff. T

This was our second visit, having promised ourselves that we’d return as soon as it re opened. So while we dined there on a Sunday at lunch time we called by on the Saturday to find if we needed to book. We didn’t need to, rather they said it was first come first served. Four of us went on the Sunday. I opted for Caesar salad (without chicken) and it was tasty. I had a very good cappuccino and went off my usual choices (normally fish) and opted for lambs liver, and cooked pink. Although it was served with onion gravy I noticed another dish had pepper sauce so I chose the pepper sauce and it was no problem to change. I enjoyed the lambs liver as well as the ambiance and friendly staff - the sun even managed to come out for 3 minutes. My wife opted for turkey and ham and she was disappointed, as the meat portion wasn’t generous and worse still the thin sliced turkey was dried out. I’m leaving it a 5 star review as three of the four of us really enjoyed our food but it is disappointing that the kitchen would let dried out food leave the pass. We are now considering an early third visit.

Look here, I want this to be a six star review. It’s a delight for us to go to a new place (new to us) and to be pleased with our dine-out choice.Several friends had recommended this place to us but we kept forgetting to go. Now we’ve remedied that and this scenic village place shows us not to give up hope - there still are great restaurants out there that care about what goes out of their kitchen on a plate. The staff were lovely and welcoming too and there’s ample parking. We both chose the Christmas lunch menu (see photos) in the knowledge that it will be one of our last meals out as another lockdown approaches; this time 6 weeks, that’ll likely become at least 12 weeks courtesy of our so called politicians. So once it’s St Stephen’s Day (in 2 days time) it’ll be February 2021 at least before this restaurant and practically all business here just might re open. It’s beginning to feel like we live in a junta. So the food: I had the chicken liver pate starter - a real throwback to the 1970’s - which was absolutely delicious, really enhanced with the most scrummy fig and cassis chutney. The portions were generous too. I hope they keep this on their menu. My wife began with the salmon mousse on potato cake which she described as very tasty - she was surprised that the potato cake worked as well as it did - but she couldn’t find the crispy capers. My main of pan-fried cod on a bed of classic, peppery French Le puy green lentils with bacon, and a Parma ham crisp was almost fabulous; the cod wasn’t as fresh, nor as thick, as I like and the skin, while grilled (or fried) wasn’t crisp - in fact the cod was the only real let down but I sure didn’t leave any. My wife had the traditional Turkey & ham with pan gravy on the side and declared it very good. The vegetables were swede, carrot and Brussels sprouts - and had they been roasted (especially the sprouts) they would have gone from great to spectacular. We also had a generous serving of tasty potato mash. So it came to desserts - and we were busted - but the apple crumble was calling out to be eaten so we shared this pudding. Again it was delicious with the crumble cooked separately. The cinnamon ice cream would have benefitted from more cinnamon and less ice crystals. We ended with a generous serving of tea and a tasty filter coffee for me. I know I’m being picky here and I stick by 6 stars. I hope my criticisms, such as they are, and are largely my own foibles, are taken in the spirit they are offered. My only disappointment is that with lockdown it’ll probably be 3 months before we can go back - damn it.

I have been using Sintons since it opened nearly 8 years ago and I have never in all that time ever had a bad experience. The food is up to Michelin Star quality the staff go out of their way to make you welcome and they have always provided the best dining experience. Form the moment you enter the Restaurant you are greeted by well groomed and professional staff, they either guide you to your table or to s seating are whee you can have a pre dinner drink while you look at the wonderful menu. The Chef Jules is head of the kitchen and he and his staff produce some wonderful dishes that you could never complain about. Everything is reasonably priced as so is the wine list, there is a small selection of beers and spirits but enough to make sure you get your favourite tipple. Julie-Ann and Graeme are always on site every day so there is always one of them you can talk to. All of the staff come around after you have received your meal to make sure everything is up to your taste. They also have a great new staff training programme where new staff are taken under the wing of an experience staff member until they are competent to act on their own. All in all this Restaurant is a great dining experience, all the staff like Nikita who has been there since the beginning to Lee, Sarah, Eva and all the new staff make it a meal to remember 5 stars is not enough for this restaurant.

I was brought out to lunch here by my friend to celebrate my graduation, and a treat it was. The restaurant was very safe and inviting. The staff were well organised to adhere to the constantly changing Government Guidelines around Covid -19. The food was well presented and delicious. I enjoyed the Whiting Goujons that had a breadcrumb with delicately flavoured herbs, it was served on a drizzle of home made pesto that complimented the herb crumb beautifully. The dressing on a crispy side salad was also home made and very tasty. We finished with Sinton's fabulous Almond and Orange cake, beautifully presented with fresh fruit and ice-cream. I look forward to my next visit, thank you for making my day special.

I had a very secure, safe trip to Sinton's recently and despite all the rules , (confusing) I felt extremely comfortable with the restaurant "setup" and indeed it was a very agreeable experience.I was served by friendly, masked, ( albeit Dick Turpin lookalikes) efficient and knowledgeable staff which always adds to a dining out experience.I sat gazing out over the terrace to the tow path and it was a rare glimmer of joy in these strange changed times. Social distancing was observed and I even noticed staff sanitise the salt and pepper pots and the credit card machine several times. Glass partitions at the payment point and glass on the outside picnic tables help the sanitizing process, no cheap perspex here . Attention to detail is taken serious here.My heart hammered at the thought of salt and chilli squid with Asian style vegetables, sweet chilli sauce and toasted sesame seeds... and I was not disappointed. I cant understand the reluctance in restaurants to serve squid, it's truly food of the gods and a starter I would recommend. A pan fried salmon fillet blessed with the thrill of brown shrimp shallot and herb butter followed. Tender stem broccoli, crispy capers and saffron potatoes completed the dish.Every detail is just right here, from the warmest of service to the combination of ingredients. This must be hard work and it certainly takes talent in all departments to pull it off with effortless charm. This is a happy place for me and I most certainly will be back, heaven !!

Pineapple had been sliced and left with outer skin on. We were not asked to give contact details for contract tracing purposes. Surely this is mandatory in all restaurants.

We've visited Sintons a number of times and have never had a bad meal there.We wanted to go somewhere where we knew the food would be good and where there would be enough space for our two grandchildren, and for ourselves with COVID precautions. They were very food intolerance aware catering for gluten, nut and lactose intolerance in one party. Prepared to alter dishes where possible rather than the more usual "you can have this and this, but not this, this and this". Saw through the kitchen windows that they have a separate fryer for gluten free which is good. Staff, especially server James, were very helpful and friendly. Prices are reasonable.

Now is has been over a yr since I was last there, but due to a family reunion this is where we ended up, but I cant even say that the food was awful just that I have never tasted such bland food in my life. I kept having to season it as there was nothing, I know Turkey and ham can be bland, but even the stuffing tasted of nothing..well ok hopefully the desert will be better; but that was even more of a disappointment,Bread & butter pudding which consisted of bread and a scraping of custard, no taste of any spices to lift it at all.

We live in the USA and take our extended Northern Ireland family (party of 13) here each year when we visit. Sinton's has been consistently good and we have always been happy with the service and the quality of the food...until this year. The evening we were there was not overly busy, yet it took more than ten minutes to get someone's attention to come over to us, and we were more or less ignored throughout dinner. Each time we needed something, even to refill the water glasses, we had to flag someone down. Strike one. I remembered the burger (in the past) being worthy of repeating, so I ordered it this time as well. I wanted it Medium rare and was told the kitchen would not prepare it that way, it needed to be cooked thoroughly. I said Medium would be ok (pink in the middle) but I would send it back if it were overdone. After assuring me it would be to my liking, I let it go, as it was already taking a long time to order, and everyone was hungry. Needless to say, orders came out sporadically, onion rings and chips (fries for us in the USA) were not crispy (as they had been in the past) and tasteless, and my burger was like a hockey puck. Normally I would have sent it back, but the service was so slow I gave up. Strike two. No one checked on us throughout the meal, and when dessert was finally ordered, some were delivered and we had to chase down a server (not even ours) to get the rest. Unless there is a compelling reason to return, we will be trying another venue for our family reunion next year.

What a fantastic evening/ night spent celebrating our engagement with family & friends. The function room was ideal, staff friendly & helpful. Accommodated the musician & all age groups. Julie-Ann ensured we were happy throughout the night & was extremely helpful making the night go smoothly & enjoyable.

Went for meal to Sintons as a special treat as we had previously been impressed on a few occasions with the food and menu. Thought the choice on Menu this time was disappointing. I had Chicken Maryland for my main dish.The chicken was tough, the pineapple was under cooked and inedible, the tomato was wisoned and the little piece of banana looked overripe. The chips were made from unpeeled potatoes and were tasteless. My daughter had burger with chunky chips which were undercooked. The desert of coffee panecotta and chocolate brownie was ok. Overall the meal was an expensive disappointment. Went home and was sick. Chef please note, best Chicken Maryland in Diamonds, Warrenpoint. Best chips in Fiveways.

Booked a Birthday lunch for a friend requested a table by the window looking over the outside eating area. On arrival we were greeted and shown to a seat just where I had requested. Waitress took our drinks order and brought the menus making us aware of the soup of the day. We ordered food and were not disappointed everything was delicious. We ordered desserts and coffee this also was delicious what was so lovely was the head waiter kept walking around the tables topping up the coffees something I haven't seen for some time. Just those little extras were noted and mean a lot whilst we sat on for quite a while after lunch chatting and never felt rushed at anytime. The food,staff and ambience makes this an excellent venue for lunch or dinner. I will definitely visit again well done Sintons

My Dad and I dined at Sinton’s recently for my birthday meal and we were both very disappointed. I had eaten here before a couple of times a few years ago and had enjoyed so I was keen to return but the standard has definitely gone down. The menu is very appealing to read but raises expectations and once I had seen my meal I felt that the menu was quite pretentious in its descriptions. We shared the bread platter to start - it was ok but the bread was nothing special and very thickly cut. I was expecting something more refined. My Dad’s duck was a very small portion - at a hefty price - and came without the broccoli mentioned in the menu, or indeed any vegetables of any description. My lemon sole was ok but nothing special, served with a heap of vegetables on top minus the asparagus mentioned in the menu. The dish certainly did not live up to its elaborate description. We didn’t have desert but had very nice mocha and cappuccino - a small chocolate or biscuit with it would have been a nice touch. The service was efficient however we felt very rushed as we were given no time between our starter and main. The setting is lovely and it is a pity the food was so disappointing. I would have considered this restaurant a very safe bet in the past but won’t risk returning any time soon unfortunately. I hope they improve again.

We were recommended here by our hosts, Pat & Mary Tumilty, and what a recommendation. Beautiful food properly prepared from the most gorgeous ingredients and all set in the most enjoyable surroundings. We only managed one visit whilst we were in Banbridge, but we shall not hesitate to return when we travel to N. Ireland again; beautiful.

We recently dined in Sinton's and to say we were impressed is to understate how exceptionally good this restaurant is. It was a first visit for two of us and a fourth return visit for a third person. The latter reported that on each occasion when he dined there, the dining had been remarkable for the variety of its menu and the quality of its food. Throughout our evening, the professionalism of the staff led by the Maitre d - Michael was exceptional in efficiency and at the same time not in the least intrusive. All three courses were totally scrumptious most especially the lamb on a bed of polenta accompanied by Moroccan lentils and aubergine. The price of the meal with wine for three adults was certainly acceptable. We will return for certain.

Lovely relaxing restaurant. Service was first class. Fish dishes beautifully presented. Roast beef dinner was a bit of a let down due to overcooked beef but manageress rectified this problem. Pavlova is a must! I would visit again.

Cycling 20 miles from Newry To Portadown along the canal I happened upon Sintons a very modern restaurant on the banks of the canal. I was Seated outside in the glorious sun where a very efficient and friendly Abbey took my lunch order. Delivery of chicken sandwich with salad and coffee was almost instant and tasted delicious, next time on that route I will call back again. Overall a very pleasant experience. I wish them well.

Called in on a whim and so glad we did. Staff although we're busy accommodated us with a table and although asked us could we be freed up by 2 hours later didn't bother us. The food was lovely and we didn't feel rushed at all. The staff were lovely. My wife a bit emotional that day couldn't eat much of her meal and staff removed it from the bill which was totally unexpected. I insisted on paying but no they were amazing. This venue is a real gem and I will definitely return. Thank you for a wonderful dining experience..

A work colleague of mine had their retirement dinner in the function room upstairs. The room was lovely and spacious enough for over 100 guests. The meal was beautiful and consisted of three courses chosen in advance from a menu of 3 choices for starter, main and dessert. My starter was chicken ceaser salad and it was plentiful and delicious. The main was roast beef which was also lovely. The beef was well cooked and there was 3 thick slices. It was accompanied with a range of vegetables, roast and mashed potatoes and gravy. The desert was pavlova which was also very tasty and a generous helping. Other meals also looked good. The service was very good, prompt and friendly. Had a very enjoyable and relaxed evening and look forward to returning soon to eat in the restaurant downstairs.

I have been there twice, once with another couple in the restaurant and once with a group of about 25 to celebrate my son's 40th birthday when we had a private room. In that room were tables and chairs including high chairs for infants, a screen on which we could show pictures of our son's life and enough room to circulate. On both occasions there was a reasonably wide choice of food, it was well cooked and everyone seemed to enjoy the experience. Outside is a substantial car park and it is within walking distance of the main road, station (though few trains stop at Scarva) and the old canal with a walk along the towpath giving access to the Visitor Centre and a slightly longer walk in the opposite direction leading to Scarva Park and lake.

An accidental visit and not sure what to expect. Food is good bistro and really well presented. Great value. But what sets Sintons apart is a very well thought out modern open plan room which is still warm and welcoming and uses the pretty setting well. And the staff. They are its fifth star. Consistently good. Will be back.

Enjoyable lunch a little underwhelming though, the tobacco onions were limp as were the fries, the chicken was very tasty though it was served in a very anaemic bun, we ordered two coffees afterwards a cappuccino and a flat white they were identical save the sprinkling of chocolate on the cappuccino I guess no one has explained the difference to whoever makes them...

Probably my fault for ordering burger and fries, which came with a huge sour dough bap which was very messy if tried to lift. Had chocolate fondant for dessert, which came with raspberries and pistachio ice cream. it was nice but odd combination I thought, just wanted oozing chocolate! Felt cold sitting in middle of floor at huge glass windows.

Have been to this restaurant several times over the past 3 years for family meals mostly as part of a large group. Very suitable for people with mobility issues. Staff always friendly, helpful and efficient. However.... the past 4 times which have included a midweek lunch break food has most definitely gone down in quality. Midweek mash potatoes were old and grey highly flavoured with pepper and solid, chicken goujons were proceesed similar to Icelands. All in all disappointing and expensive. Yesterday large family group.... starters soup lukewarm, baby boiled potatoes with fish were green/ black. Tobacco onions moist pale clump, turkey..... tough...neither had texture or flavour or look of our expectations, ham processed. Vegetables all our favourite turned out to be highly disappointing ...frozen green beans and cauliflower with a few fresh batton carrots. While spending up to £300 you expect better. Last straw time to find new venue for family outings.

We ordered from the Early Bird menu which was excellent value. Had Starters and Main course which were very good. The only thing I’d of preferred was crouton pieces instead of the slice which proved difficult to eat, otherwise the meal was excellent. We were not rushed in any way and the staff were friendly and attentive.

My partner and I visited Sintons on Saturday evening 30th March. The place seemed to be at full capacity (I’d guess about 200 customers) but the service was not lacking, it was excellent, attentive and friendly. It was almost too good, we had to tell the waiter that we would take a little rest before ordering dessert. The menu is fairly extensive, the quality of food was good and the portion sizes just about right. The prices were reasonable. It was an enjoyable experience, we’ll definitely be back.

We went here as a family of 6, last night (Saturday) to celebrate a birthday (my first time). Although the restaurant was very busy we were seated to our table quickly at a booth which was spacious-a pet hate of mine is adults being crammed together eating. The service was efficient and all staff were very attentive. The food was amazing and plentiful, the ribs and pate great choice for starters and we all had chicken Maryland for main so can't comment on any other choice. Unfortunately we were unable to have desert as 2 courses were suffice. The price of the meal for what we got, venue and service was fair and we felt it was value for money. I look forward to a return visit.

Never thought id live to say it but i not only ate the spuds but very much enjoyed them and relish the prospect at repeating the experience! The secret to great roasties according to the management guru (graham saying you ask) is to liven them up by placing said spuds on a bet of rosemary,garlic and thyme.it sure works and ive tried them at home since- simple mostly works. The mash is good too -done with cream im informed- so it was a spud double whammy.incidentally the rest of the meal was terrific too. Great ambience and well trained , attentive and friendly staff completed the package for a leisurely sunday lunch.

Had visited many times as then known as the " the old barn" which was pleasant dinning experience.. however now under a new name "the granary" for good or bad who know but for our experience "BAD"... food was ok service ok when we eventually received our food which was over doused in what they call seasoning- ceasar salad had something like tapenade slung over the side of the plate which seemed strange .. to our disappointment we ordered coffees an desserts which were obviously bought in and felt like no or little effort was put into their preparation..... bitterly disappointing...
