    We had another great experience at Lagan. The food was excellent and all staff were super friendly. Following a take-away a couple of weeks before (the best take-away we have ever had!) we decided to visit for my partners' birthday and it didn't disappoint. We will be back very soon.

    First visit here and won't be the last. Service was outstanding as was the food and drinks. Went for a birthday meal with family and everyone was impressed. Order taken very quickly which was soon followed by the drinks. Food was also very quick to arrive and all delicious. Would definitely recommend
