The food here is brilliant. The service doesn’t match. The young waitress was chewing gum throughout which my table agreed was quite rude. Expensive food for the portion size but you get what you pay for in flavour.

We were a party of 5 adults, having an 11am Saturday morning catch-up breakfast/brunch. The service was exceptional, especially since one of our party (me!) requested several deviations from standard (such as poached instead of fried eggs, pork belly instead of bacon). These requests were willingly accommodated and our food was excellent. The Inn was quite quiet for a Saturday morning but the surroundings were beautiful and the staff friendly and attentive. The menu was very appealing to me, but 2 of our party would have preferred a more traditional (Ulster fry) breakfast - it's hard to please everyone! Maybe Chef could consider an addition?

after ordering my light battered fish and chips, I received a meal that was covered in batter and oil Only out when I purchased a fanta it was £4.30. The maximum price people should be paying for glass bottle of Fanta is£2 Overall scenery was absolutely stunning and the service workers attitude is disgusting. I will not be coming back.

We had a few drinks at the Bollinger bar before eating in the cultra inn. The customer service/ experience for a bollinger bar in a 5 star hotel was not what we expected. We were let down by service and small details. But the food we had in the cultra inn was excellent and the day was saved by our server Charlotte who by the way… I would offer her a job tomorrow if I could, she was absolutely perfect! I’ve given this review 3 stars because of our first experience but if I could give 5 I would just for how Charlotte saved the evening for us. It was such a delight to meet such a bright enthusiastic young woman who knew exactly how to read a room. She held herself so well and made the correct apologies for poor customer service on behalf of her peers. I really hope she continues to do very well in her career as she is destined to do great things. Thank you Charlotte. From the girls with the shades and our friend in the pink suit!

APPALLING! Tension emanating from kitchen. Chef slamming pots in front of customers and refusing to cook a burger twice to the customer's liking. Ruined meal. Avoid at all all cost and go to McDonalds as far superior quality.

We had the pleasure of dining at this establishment as part of our spa package, and we were thoroughly impressed. The culinary offerings and the impeccable service exceeded our expectations. In particular, I must commend the pork belly starter, which was an exceptional gastronomic experience. However, I must express a slight concern regarding the pricing of beverages. While I understand that hotel establishments often have higher prices, charging £7 for a pint of Guinness seems somewhat excessive.

Right beside The Culloden, on a nice day, we hoped to continue the feel-good vibe of the day with a nice lunch. Unfortunately, below-par food, a staff member who took an immediate dislike to us and didn't make a pretence of hiding it, and an obvious partisan attitude towards non-hotel customers in terms of refusing the better tables to us and others when they clearly weren't reserved completely jaded our lunch experience there. We won't be back any time soon...

Visited on a Sunday afternoon, ordered three meals consisting of three cokes, two large chicken ceaser salads and a plate of pasta. The pasta size was modest but tasty, but the salads were served in very small bowls, the size of a modest side order. I asked the waiter if they had made a mistake and was told the regular salads are smaller! Usually a very good place to pop in and eat, but on this occasion and £73 later we left very disappointed.

Decided to go to the Cultra Inn for a few drinks on Saturday which is my local. Unfortunately the premium price of the drinks did not reflect the service provided. Apart from the 100+ dirty glasses on the bar which were mounting up over the first hour while I was there, the wait for a drink in an otherwise empty bar was nearly 10 minutes. I did mention this to a member of staff who agreed with me! Terrible service!

Reasonable food, but very poor unprofessional management. Hard to get through to make a booking. When we arrived we had to wait for some time for them to check the computer for our booking.No welcome, it felt like we were a nuisance by a tall man in a black suit. Service was slow and after our meal we asked three times for the dessert menu with our dinner plates still not lifted.Ourselves and three other tables complained about the service but nothing happened.We left not having a dessert.

I have no idea why there are certain negative reviews. Let me tell you my experience. Me and my partner got the dine and indulge package from the spa next door. Luckily we got to have 2 courses each at the cultra Inn. First off, the service was fantastic. The food came out quick and was delicious. Adrian was brilliant and so was the rest of his staff. Always made sure we were looked after and rectified any difficulties we had almost immediately. As parents with 2 young kids. This was the dining we deserved. Will be back many times over.

Food was great, absolutely delicious. Good size portions, had a really good time. Staff are very attentive and always making sure that you’re ok. Adrian was amazing and went above and beyond for us. Excellent customer service from everyone. Soup of the day was possibly the best tomato soup I have ever tasted and I’m usually not a fan of tomato soup. My fish tasted fresh and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. Dessert and coffee were delicious.

We booked this as the reviews were better than the hotel restaurant, but we must just have visited on an off night. The welcome was a little slow, followed by a long wait to order our food. We were sat in the near vicinity of a large table of very noisy guests, which didn't create the most romantic of atmospheres. Ironically, both courses were delivered slightly too quickly to the table, leading to a rushed feeling. The Gluten Free options were plentiful and tasty. My food was 'meh', particularly in view of the high price. I'm afraid I would look for somewhere else if in the vicinity again.

Cultra Inn is a well known place here in NI. I have been a number of times before and always had a great experience. Today, however, the experience was not up to the usual standard. I had the Irish chicken supreme. The sauce and veg were nice enough, but the chicken was tough, chewey, and dried out. It tasted of cheap frozen supermarket fair. My other half the fish and chips which was generally good and fish was well cooked, but the chips were all bits. Deserts were good Service was hit and miss (depending who it was, I should say Adrien was lovely) . No attempt was made to ask if we wanted drinks when we were seated or any condiments when the food arrived. Hopefully just a blip.

I had dinner there with 2 friends last saturday. Ordered a campari and orange juice. Couldn’t have it as they had no orange juice. No orange juice in a bar?? What? Surely there would have been some in the hotel that is 100 metres away! Then myself and one other ordered the chicken pate. The toast was actually burnt black for both of us. The waiter actually let us put the burnt toast into his hand, despite the fact we had requested a plate to put it on…. My goodness what a disappointing evening.

We used to love this place but not anymore! We used to have our lunch and enjoyed it, though it was quite pricey but we didn't mind, as long as we're satisfied with the food and service. We had our lunch at this place a week ago. I ordered chowder as my main (I had it before, and love it). I was surprised, I thought they mistakenly give me it as a starter. The portion was very very small!!! The portions are a lot smaller than they used to be but the prices are still very high. My partner had Irish braised beef, it was good but the portion was way too small! We were disappointed and dissatisfied! So Cultra Inn serves smaller portion meals with sky high prices!! Not coming back!!!

Wish I had taken a picture of the pancakes they were amazing and looked exactly like the video I’d seen on Instagram! Looking forward the coming back to try more of the breakfast choices! Found the staff very friendly and atmosphere lovely! If dogs aren’t your thing don’t worry they are only allowed in the bar area! But if you do bring your dog they are made very welcome with beds and water bowls!

Cultra inn for business dinner for 12 people. Lovely setting with fantastic views of the Culoden hotel lit up at night. Seated immediately with no issues for access or egress for people even though a large table . Starters ordered and served promptly by a number of staff ensuring we all ate together and no one having to wait . Dishes ordered . Pork bellies, chicken liver parfait, buffalo wings, all impeccable in presentation and even better in taste. Pork bellies to die for and chicken liver parfait excellent with just the right consistency and the relish served just the right tangy fruitiness . Crispy buffalo wings were as stated … crispy and moist and full of flavour. Maine dishes , daub of beef, Irish mango curry, bone marrow burgers, . I can vouch that the servings were large to say the least. Daub of beef x 2 with creamy mash and root vegetables done in the Cultra inn gravy sauce . It was tender to the point of falling away. Vegetables done to perfection. Nothing but good reports from the rest of the crowd with many a mention of how good the pork bellies were. Very reasonable prices for the superb quality of the food. Have made a promise to myself to return and sample the rest of the menu . At an average of £35 a head for starter and main not too bad at all. So make the journey out of Belfast and sample the star of our very own Holywood. Impeccable.

We were really looking forward to a meal here this evening. I went for a curry as I was told it was a smooth sauce when I asked as I don’t like onions. It came out with onions and veg. My partner swapped his meal with me as we waited the guts of 20 minutes before a server came to our table to see if everything was ok for us, when he eventually did, we explained that we were disappointed with our food as we were told the sauce was smooth and it wasn’t. As I was speaking, mid conversation he turned and walked away. We were that confused at what just happened we presumed maybe he was going to get the manager. No, he just walked away from us mid sentence and never returned. No one came near us the remainder of the time we were there, to offer drinks, dessert or even to lift our plates. It got to the point we just went up to the til to pay. We planned on staying here the rest of the night for drinks but the mood was ruined by the complete lack of decent customer service and especially for the price of everything. It was probably the worst experience we have had in a while and we were very disappointed. I did express this to the manager when we were at the til and our meals were taken off. This was a nice gesture but it wasn’t the point. We were out to spend money and wanted to stay longer for drinks but we couldn’t wait to leave the place in the end up. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone thinking about having a nice evening meal. Absolutely shocking customer service. Not sure how a restaurant can lack such common manners and charge the prices that they do.

Very disappointed with not only my meal but with the service. The guy who served us stood about 2 metres away as if he was afraid to be close and his manner was not that welcoming. With me being gluten and dairy intolerant, there wasn’t much for me to choose from the menu. I had the sea bass with vegetables which when arrived was very disappointing for the £26 I payed. The sea bass was under cooked as was the veg which was little. My husbands burger was not great either and not worth the money either. Think twice before returning here, not worth the money.

Came here late on a Saturday afternoon with my husband for a bite to eat. The pub and surrounds were gorgeous. I cannot fault the location and setting. However, the service was exceptionally slow. We waited a long time for our order to be taken and to pay, although the food came quicky. The food was tasty, well cooked and seasoned but somewhat pricey for what you get (although given the location, that is a given). I have given the Cultra Inn two stars for service as service was slow, no one came to check if we needed anything and we had to go up to the till to pay our own bill. Some of the staff seemed unfriendly and disinterested.

With my partners relatives and we were taking them out for the night. Got a nice table and manageress said she would be back to take a drinks order. We had to beckon some one in the end. We were engrossed in our own conversation but service was very slow and it seemed like we were neglected for most of the night. I have been here once before and recall a simular problem. Food was reasonable and all seemed to be fine. My own meal was a bacon chop and cut into it and it was completely raw in the middle. Being in company I didn't want to make a scene in front of my guests. Nobody came back near us to check if all was OK and only got the chance to highlight this when plates were cleared. Manageress asked me what was wrong with it...any idiot could see it was raw. She said she would discuss it with the chef. Took ages to get a dessert and only then manageress said she had taken my meal off the bill. There was no apology at any time. Over all not very impressed and even though it was a nice setting I would not be back.

I booked Cultra Inn for my parents 40th anniversary lunch and after a few hiccups with the gift voucher (my fault) they had the best time. From a conversation with Cormac on the morning of the lunch when it was clear that nothing would be too much trouble they went out of their way to help and make this a special lunch for my parents. Organising Prosecco for them on arrival was made very easy, they absolutely raved about the food and in particular the special desert the chef had made for them. When I picked them up after their lunch (when they had moved to the bar area and didn’t want to leave) I met Cormac in person and also Emma who was nothing but a pleasure to speak to. My mum and dad said the food was fantastic and the service was second to none. They are already planning a return trip and I’m hopeful that my husband might book it for my next birthday.Thank you so much to everyone that helped make this so special.

Hugely disappointed with the quality and service at the Cultra Inn. Being a part of the Culloden, our expectations were high but unfortunately not met.The service was patchy with multiple staff members asking the same questions and there not being much communication between them.The drinks took longer to come than the food and staff were easily distracted when we asked for something.My wife's burger was a little pink and the waitress was unable to confirm if it was steak or mince. The chunky chips were hard when bitten or cutThe food reminded us of a diner or pub lunch, we aren't sure how much was prepared freshly in the restaurant, let alone to order.The mains and dessert menu was quite limited so we had our main and left to the hotel lobby to give them our custom.

Visited here on Friday evening with my partner and another couple. Everything was amazing, the service was excellent special thanks to Scott, Emma and Rebecca you were fantastic in making us feel so welcome and looking after us all evening. Food was also first class I had the sirloin steak and it was cooked to perfection. Can’t wait for my next visit thanks again team Cultra

We visited recently with my family to celebrate my dads birthday and were somewhat disappointed. The service was very slow-we waited a long time for the waitress to take our drinks order and in fact tables that arrived after us were served before us. We eventually ordered our drinks and my mum wanted to pay for the drinks separately but the waitress seemed to want to argue with her saying it was simpler to put it on the bill and pay separately at the end-maybe it was simpler for her, but made no sense!We ordered our food and my dad and I got the chicken and mango curry which was mostly chunks of chicken in a thin sauce which appeared to also have some shreds of chicken in. It tasted nice, if an odd texture.My mums scampi starter was described on the menu as ‘with garden salad’, which turned out to be a garnish. Everyone else had burgers or fish and chips, which were nice but the chips were still hard to the bite.After the meal, I waved at various staff across the restaurant to try and ask for the bill for a good several minutes. The food could have been better and the service should have been much better, considering what we were paying. Very disappointing meal.

I have a mixed review, I have been twice to see the scuptures as part of the Art and Soul festival, which are in the grounds of the Culloden Hotel. We called into the Cultra inn both times once for a drink and today for food. I was pleasantly surprised that dogs are welcome inside the bar area and staff were very friendly and accommodating when in for a drink last week. Today, however, was a different story. Cormac, the manager, was very nice and helpful but the rest of the experience was chaotic. No food is served outside, we eventually got a table inside. We had to ask for drinks twice as well as for the menu. We had to call someone to take the order. The service was very slow. There is limited vegetarian options and my sister can not eat spicy food, she asked a young blonde waitress if the falafel bon bon dish was spicy and was told that she did not think so but would check. She did not return and when the food arrived it was inedible as the noodles were covered in a hot chilli sauce and falafel was also spicy. I mentioned it to the waitress, who apologised but told me she had asked the chef, who told her this was not a spicy dish. I would be very concerned if this was the case as I ended up eating most of her meal and it was hot even for me and I enjoy hot food. Part of the order was wrong and we had to ask for cutlery. The food is highly priced and drinks extortionate. The service is extremely poor in such a high end establishment. Unfortunately this is not somewhere we will return to or recommend.

Been coming here for years before and after covid. Good quality food but over time the quantity has got worse, I ordered a standard fry and served on a nice big plate but won’t be back as other cafes offer much more food for you money.

Last night there was a major power cut in Bangor, down the road from Groomsport, and my brothers and I couldn't dine at the restaurant we had booked. There were a couple of places outside the shut-down area but it was a Friday night and they couldn't fit us in. The Stables, being a high-class establishment was also full up but, unlike the other restaurants, they didn't turn us away. In fact, the chap on the desk was incredibly helpful, saying he would find a place for us and then, five minutes later, he found us an even better table with a view of the sea. We were very impressed with his professionalism and positive attitude. The waiters were also very friendly and helpful and arrived at our table very quickly to get our drinks order. The food was delicious and one of our waitresses went out of her way to find an alcoholic beverage that not everybody is familiar with. After the frustration of trying to find a restaurant where we could celebrate my birthday earlier in the week we hit the jackpot with The Stables. I had eaten there a couple of years ago with a friend from London and liked it but it has improved immensely since that visit. I can't praise the restaurant enough for their friendliness, professionalism and willingness to go that extra mile to make sure we had a good time. And the food, as I said earlier, was top quality. I will definitely go there again and not just for a special occasion. The restaurant totally deserves the five stars I have given it.

We went to watch the rugby in the bar and no one was in the bar. The tvs weren't working only the one in the pool room were there was about 5 people playing pool. Hopefully it's just teething problems
