I've been here for breakfast and lunch before and it's the most perfectly cooked food every time. The staff are lovely and very accommodating. Prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. I've never had a below standard meal from here, even the takeaway options are perfect 👌 Love this place ❤️

I took my elderly parents here recently - it is a calm place and you can park close to the restaurant. We were probably annoying customers as we wanted a quiet corner so pulled two tables for two together without asking any of the staff 🙈. With no hesitation the girl who served us came up and sorted the tables out and took real time and patience helping my 95 and 98 year old parents talk through their orders! We ordered a light lunch and everything was delicious. Nothing was too much trouble. We will be back!!

I’ve been to the Cottage Kitchen quite a lot over the years. Decided to head here with my fiancé one sunny day in June. We both had one panini each. In my opinion, paninis are actually quite hard to ‘get right’. The paninis we had were terrific. The side salad was a nice touch as was the coleslaw. We will definitely be back here again and I would recommend the Cottage Kitchen for lunch or coffee dates with friends

Firstly the staff and owners are extremely friendly. The place is spotlessly clean. Nothing is any bother when ordering. The quality of the food is always 5* and the portions are great, and a great selection. That’s why we keep returning. We also use this place regularly for carry outs. We also use it for our retirement society.

We drove a considerable distance just to have our dinner here on Sunday. We had been last year and it was beautiful Again on this visit, the food was fantastic. We had roast beef dinner Served on a proper big heated dinner plate and plenty of food on the plates as well. The beef was lovely and soft , possibly slow cooked. Lovely cream potato and veg .the gravy was also lovely I could not fault the food in any way. It kinda reminds me of the café in Last of the summer wine ,with top quality, beautifully presented food at a reasonable price Thanks again and look forward to our next visit

Popped in today during our walk. Nice little cafe overlooking Groomsport harbour. Good menu with plenty to choose from and the Christmas menu looks very inviting. As it was quite early we settled for a small fry as we still had a fair bit of walking to do. No complaints, good portion and cooked to perfection, it went down well with a cup of tea and all for a very reasonable price.

The Cottage Kitchen , our local cafe, sell take away fish and chips on a Friday. We visited a couple of weeks ago, and the fish and chips were excellent. Today the fish was terrible - grey and slimy with an unpleasant after taste. Fish is not cheap these days, and we expect better than that. I don't think we'll buy fish and chips there again - it is too expensive to take a chance. We are glad to have this local cafe, and will use it in the future, but not for fish and chips.

The breakfast is supplied as takeaway and is well served and piping hot even when you carry it home. The delivery service is exemplary and all that you need to do is pop it into the microwave.

We called in here for coffee and scones and apart from not serving real butter, we were not disappointed. Two Americanos and 2 fruit scones cost £7.70 which we thought was good value. It was just a traditional cafe rather than a coffee shop but it was interesting because it had original art work by local artists on the walls and this was for sale. We probably would go back but we would like real butter for our scones.

We stopped off for a late lunch today. The food was good and the waitress who served us was lovely.There were only 3 tables occupied at the time. Having finished I went up and paid the bill and we walked out of the restaurant onto Groomsport Main Street. Seconds later the waitress I had just paid (not the lovely one) came out and shouted down the street "STOP, YOU HAVENT PAID YOUR BILL! I couldn't believe this as I had handed this girl my money not 30 seconds earlier, and thanked her for the lovely meal. She insisted I return into the restaurant, so I did, feeling like a criminal and surely looking like one to the folks coming in and out of the Spar next door and the other covers who witnessed this apparent citizen's arrest. I was led back up to the counter where the girl looked at the paid and unpaid covers before grudgingly admitting "you've paid the wrong bill" - she had given me the bill for one of the other 2 covers. I was expecting an apology from her or at least from the manager who was sitting next to the counter, but none was forthcoming. I was still shaking from the trauma of having been publicly accused of theft and demanded that an apology be made, at least so that the other patrons within earshot would know that I hadn't done a runner. I then received a petulant and insincere excuse for an apology from the waitress but, astonishingly, none from the manager - just a grunt to the effect that she had made a mistake! The waitress then informed me that I had underpaid my bill and demanded that I pay the difference. At this point I assumed that the manager, if he had had any interest in maintaining his businesses reputation, would have waived the collection of the deficit as some small token towards the hurt and embarrassment caused - but he didn't. Finally - a bit of advice to the manager. If you are going to put up posters in red letters warning your staff that the business is on a final warning with regard to waste disposal, do not put it where it can be clearly viewed by your customers as they go to and from the bathroom - it does nothing for client confidence I can assure you!

For me, did not live up to that rave reviews however was still nice. The seats were pretty uncomfortable and it was quite cold inside. Toilets are up steep stairs also. I went to try out the world changing scone and was very disappointed to be given what to me was a cinnamon roll with butter on top?? Was totally confused….call me old fashioned but I like to cut open a scone and fill with jam and cream?? Maybe it’s just be! I will say though, the coffee was very good.
