Was Alison at Doc's Fish/Chips Cafe, Downpatrick a mag?

Was at downshire hospital, waiting on mum getting surgery. Went to docs for fish supper, it was mighty so nice and no grease. Gave the staff thumbs up before leaving as we ate in car.. So thought I would just give them a wee shout out in trip advisor too. View all feedback.

What Kate dislikes about Doc's Fish/Chips Cafe, Downpatrick:

Chips tasted like they had been heated up, chicken burger rubbery and scampi overcooked. Everything had been either heated up or over cooked. Docs used to be good. Won't be back for a long time View all feedback.

Fish was ok chips were basically raw. I ordered a meat pastor burger and was given a homemade pastie burger which was raw on the inside and burnt on the outside. Was sadly disappointed.

I regret to say that prices have gone up significantly: a chicken kebab is now £9, and chips cost £5. This is an increase from £2.50 and is simply unacceptable. I urge people to steer clear of this place; they are taking advantage of their customers. It's not worth the price hike, and it would be better for them to shut down than to continue such practices. Rating: Food: 1, Service: 1, Atmosphere: 1.

Was in the downshire hospital, waiting for mama to get surgery. for fish sauce, it might be so beautiful and not fat. the workers up before we eat in the car. So I thought I'd give them only one who screams. also in the travel advisor.
