About Romas
Romas is a modern European restaurant on Regent St in Newtownards, with a menu that runs to twenty dishes. Steak Sizzlers arrive with chips or Champ as show cooking done at the table by a chef, and Chicken Goujons with French fries sit alongside on the menu. Two bars downstairs serve the room, and certain nights bring entertainment. The restaurant opens daily and takes walk-ins, and it accommodates large parties even without a booking. The bistro setup pairs curved banquettes with the bar, and steak nights run as part of the regular offering.

“Romas - named after the original proprietor, Roma Hamill, is a genuine Newtownards institution and has been part of Regent Street and the town’s social life since the 1960s. More than 60 years later, it’s still a popular place to eat, drink and socialise. There’s a good selection of food on the menu, with the quality consistently impressive, along with a great range of cocktails and drinks. The two downstairs bars have a cosy, welcoming feel and is a nice spot whether you’re calling in for a meal or just a drink. They also have good entertainment on certain nights, which adds to the atmosphere. It’s great to see such a long-established Newtownards name still going strong and continuing to be such a well-known part of the town.”

“Came here with two friends. The whole place was adorned with HALLOWEEN decorations and looked amazing. We had two Steak Sizzlers, one with chips and one with Champ and Chicken Goujons with French fries. Everyone really enjoyed the food and the selection on the menu. The service was great too. Highly recommended.”
- Keith Wallace
“The food was unbelievable! Not only amazing quality but definitely well priced. You couldn't fault the service if you tried. The show cooking was class, the chef was excellent and the laughs we got from the interactions simply made the night. Would highly recommend to all and will definitely be back again and again. Highly underrated venue in Newtownards.”
