TW Reviews R Plaice & Absolute Pizza, The Newest Eatery In Town!

by Owen Quinn author

A new and exciting culinary experience has just opened in the coastal town of Millisle situated between Donaghadee and Bangor and it’s one not to be missed.

R Plaice has opened its doors bringing its wide menu of food for all the family to experience. Serving everything from traditional fish and chips to burgers to butties,  you will not fail to enjoy the food they offer. Their pasties, goujons and chicken fillets are all homemade and the fish are battered to order ensuring that personal touch that will keep you and the family coming back for more. Add to that it is great value for money including pensioner discounts and you will leave with money in your pocket and a full belly. If you don’t fancy fish and chips then you can get a delicious pizza from Absolute Pizza, prepared and freshly made right before your eyes at even more great prices. And if it is miserable outside you can take advantage of the seating area.

We were invited to sample the food and we were not disappointed. Now I will be up front and admit I not a fan of fast food in general but after our visit to R Plaice and Absolute Pizza, they may have shown me that I need to raise my expectations of so called fast food {and I hate to use that term} given what we ate. I’m not even sure that the term fast food applies as it was cooked with an attention to detail the friendly staff genuinely projected.

Our party had a range of dishes from two types of pizza, steak burgers, chicken burgers, gravy chips, cod, sausages and chips. I have to say the chips were cooked perfectly and there wasn’t as much as a crumb left over. The steak burger was succulent where the taste lingered in your mouth. The cod in batter wasn’t at all greasy and the pizzas were to die for. Trust me when I say I am not blowing smoke up anyone’s ass here because you know I’m as blunt as a hammer but I can honestly say that if this is how fast food is cooked then my new diet regime could well be out the window. It wasn’t greasy, you could taste the food you were eating and it was filling.

Thanks for that Jeff; jelly belly may be around longer than I anticipated. Think bananas, think rice, think tuna…dammit I can’t get over that steak burger , chips and meat feast pizza!

What makes me excited by the opening of R Plaice and Absolute Pizza is the fact it is located in the Main Street literally feet from the beach. There are plans to let you sit outside at picnic tables come the summer where you can sit and look over the ocean and enjoy your food. The R Plaice ice cream range is coming too! Given how close the caravan parks are this is just a great addition to Millisle. Now if I can come away from this welcoming environment on a cold winter night happy then how cool is it going to be when the bright evenings return and you can sit and dine in the beautiful coastal family environment.

This new venture I am genuinely excited for because I’m counting down to the summer so I can go explore Millisle with its beach, sea view and windmill knowing I can sit and enjoy good food in this picturesque environment at the right times, open at 12 o’clock and closing at 9 o’clock as the sun sets. If you’re a local of Millisle then you are lucky people. Yes, there’s even a delivery service in case you’re in the middle of Eastenders and it’s too exciting to tear yourself away from.

Check R Plaice and Absolute Pizza out and enjoy food as it is meant to be cooked.
