<p>The Percy French bar and
restaurant in Newcastle, a popular destination for holidaymakers and golfers,
has just undergone a programme of refurbishments costing thousands aimed at
‘enhancing the visitor experience’ and to ‘make the most of the stunning
location’.</p><p>Visitors to one of Northern
Ireland’s premier hotels, the 4-star Slieve Donard Resort & Spa, Newcastle,
will be familiar with the Percy French, explained James Toal, Manager of the
Percy French.</p><p>“The award-winning Percy French
just got better following an investment of almost £40k. The improvements include new larger windows
which help to make the most of our stunning location here in Newcastle. Visitors can now enjoy the view made famous
by Percy French in his haunting song, <em>‘The
Mountains of Mourne’</em> which he noted, ‘sweep down to the sea’ as they relax
in front of a roaring fire. </p><p>“Our patrons are already used to
fantastic food and a warm welcome and following the refurb we are delighted to
say that the captivating atmosphere and ambience we are known for has been
enhanced with better views and a brighter space”, said James. </p><p><img src="/uploads/56cc3e580ae87.jpg"></p><p>James continued: “Additionally, Percy French memorabilia and
books are being catalogued and will be displayed prominently throughout the
bar/restaurant so that our customers can learn more about one of Ireland’s foremost
songwriters and entertainers. An interactive museum will follow later in the
year which will tell the Percy French story in full including why we named the
bar/restaurant after such a talented and famous visitor to the area.</p><p>“I would like to pay tribute to
the fabulous Percy French team who do a marvellous job ensuring we offer our
customers the very best in seasonal menus and an exceptional dining experience
every time,” James added. </p>
