French's Cafe And Bistro - Down

We just love to stop here for tea and scones or traybakes. Staff are pleasant, efficient and friendly. It’s well run and a lovely place to eat in.

Roy and Diane were fantastic in helping us organise breakfast for everyone on the day of our daughter's wedding. The food was great and their service was fantastic. I don't write many reviews, but these guys were brilliant!

Simple delicious, anniversary celebration lunch, chowder and scampi our firm favourites both excellent.

I don’t usually give reviews (bad or good) as I believe places can have there good and bad days. However on this occasion I feel like the restaurant really deserves a good word. Due to the restaurant's location I drive past it quite frequently and have always said that we must try there as it is always packed out. Well we eventually got round to trying it out on Wednesday morning for breakfast en route to the sheepdog trials and wow did it impress. To start with the staff that greet us and showed us to our table we’re as friendly as anything also very neat and tidy. After browsing through the menu we settled on the full breakfast and the avacados and eggs. The pricing of these items were quite cheap therefor I didn’t expect much but when the food arrived I was shocked to say the least. The portions were incredible and the food was delicious. This alone was enough to make me consider writing a review but we said that we would come back on Sunday and try the dinner menu out so I said I would wait and see what it’s like before putting up a review. Well Sunday came and we arrived 20 minutes early however this was not an issue. We were seated by the same lady and we had our food by the time we were supposed to arrive. Again it was the same story really friendly staff and really REALLY great food. All I can say is that we will definitely be back again soon as it was the nicest meal out we have had in a very long time. The chefs must definitely love what they do.

My husband and I were invited to join a couple of our friends last Saturday at Frenchs, Clough. We arrived on time and we’re allocated a booth to the right side as we entered. Service was prompt and efficient we ordered our drinks and chose from the menu. 2 no.. fish, chips, mushy peas and tartare sauce. Another ordered the 6 ounce stake with onion rings on the side, and the 4th guest decided upon the Hawaiian burger. The food arrived hot and perfectly displayed our on the plates. Efficient and pleasant staff all well turned out We had fully intended to have a dessert, but when the time came, although we were eager to try the options, we declined. Our main course had more than satisfied our hunger, and we each agreed that the portions received were just right for us! If we were to have any more, the chances are that we may in fact ruin our meal experience. 3 coffees and a tea later, we asked for the bill…… it’s my understanding we owed £99.00 ….. a fair price for a tasty gin and apple cocktail, a West Coast Cooler, 2 pints and a whiskey wouldn’t you agree! This was our 1st visit to this establishment and we would thoroughly recommend it to others. The layout of the restaurant is open and can adapt easily to cater for large parties. The banquettes or rather the fixed seating area along the side walls created space saving, cosy, intimate seating booths and due to the professional and welcoming staff we enjoyed our privacy ...a great experience, good food, great service at an affordable price. Good first impression the entrance was clean well lit with outdoor seating and car parking on site. Thank you French’s we will be back (reservations recommended).
