The Grouse Inn, Ballymena Review

The service at The Grouse Inn, Ballymen, was reasonably quick. Meal was not as stated by out waitress staff and complaining appeared to be a waste of time. Needless to say i never left a tip. i ordered the special which had been verbally advertised by the waitress who seated us and took our drinks order. when the waitress came to take our food order i asked her to tell me about the special. When my meal came the food on the plate was rather sparce, the solitary fish cake was accompanied by a small container of tartar sauce and a similar container of tomato relish. I also had a small bowl of coleslaw which i wanted instead of the rocket leaves which should have been with this meal. To my surprise the plate did not have any champ. the meal which i had twice been briefed on as having chilli champ, was devoid of any. When i called the food waitress over to enquire where the champ was she said there was potato in the fish cake but I certainly expected champ too.
