The newly built Gatelodge cafe sits just inside the main entrance of Ards Hospital, on the left. a brand new enterprise staffed predominantly by people with learning disability. I had an hour to kill between appointments and thought I'd go there for a light lunch. It was my first visit and I was looking forward to seeing what was on offer. On reaching the main entrance, as a wheelchair user I was disappointed that the door didn't open by means of a button press outside, I had to lean forward to attempt to push it open but it was not possible. Luckily there was a young lady at the front desk who rushed forward to help. So in I went to the seating area, very bright and airy, seating for perhap...
I bought two sausage rolls to take home after reading a positive review in the local newspaper. I heated them up for lunch and found that they had a surprisingly large amount of a substance similar to spam inside, which the local birds seemed to enjoy. The pastry was not great either. I did enjoy the baked beans I served with it, but overall I felt that they were overpriced, costing twice as much as I had anticipated.
Called in for coffee before hospital appointment. Cappuccinos were on the very cool side. We had a fifteen and a piece of ginger cake. The ginger cake was dry and hard. The cakes etc did not look fresh in general. Would not recommend. Staff and ambience were nice though. Won't be back or recommend.
Made my day with the chef colin at the gatelodge Newtownards he is a really good at making the wheaten bread and much more and I would like 2 see Colin cooking more cz Colin is going to go places with his cooking think you Colin and I will be back very happy with Colin and all the staff (27)

The food was terrible, possibly the worst place I have ever been to. The staff were nice, but the hot food should never have been allowed to be served in the way it was. I don't understand how people can say they like this cafe, I was very disappointed. I do not recommend it.
Always a fantastic welcome, weather busy or not.The food is irrestable, so I choose here for my weekly treat.We cannot wait till we are allowed to sit in to dine,as the ambiance is a beautiful place to be.We can't recommend this Cafe food enough.Bangor
The restaurant has a cozy ambiance, delicious food, and friendly and attentive staff. It appears to be a popular spot for meetings with friends. I will definitely be visiting again.

Amazing service and very nice workers. I had a hot chocolate what was very nice and a cherry scone what was lovely. I really enjoyed it and I would come again happily.
Great coffee, lovely traybakes and scones. Appetizing daily lunch menu. Pleasant staff who make the visit a relaxing enjoyable eating experience.
