What User likes about The Moat Inn Donaghadee:
we ate in the henry’s bistro, which was beautifully decorated. chairs were comfortable, we have a window seat. Eating was delicious our waitress lesley was very helpful. my only complicity was that they did not do clobige chips just personal preference,) fortunately my girlfriend liked them exchanged them for a bratkartoffel her mother gave me also her) would highly recommend it. View all feedback. What p0rtav0 doesn't like about The Moat Inn Donaghadee:
Food not bad but let down by the guy who served us: more interested in his hair than serving customers. I heard it was being sold and hope they don't keep this guy on, have met the rest of the staff coming in for a pint and they were all great. Pints are good too, just let down by this one person unfortunately and I won't be back while he is there as very rude. View all feedback.

Service was excellent, food was ok, strangely no veg with most main courses, if you're eating here best to order vegetables as a side.
