Absolutely lovely staff, unsure why the other reviews are so low as we were treated with nothing but kindness & respect, the staff were very attentive to our needs, the food was lovely and came as described. Would highly recommend! I will be taking my family back here again regularly especially considering there is a little animal farm surrounding the Cafe, making this a perfect day out for you and the kids.

Please think twice & go to another cafe. Rudest staff I have ever come across. Everything was an ordeal. To busy cutting drawing pictures out of a kids book rather than serve people. Tray bakes/scones so stale & dried up. NOT A NICE PLACE

Oh my goodness - was in this cafe with my sister - have never received service like this before! Such rude staff! We were actually gob smacked by the behaviour of the staff- and we were charged for more butter! Please go to another cafe and get pleasant staff. We left traumatised 🙈🙈 I normally wouldn’t dream of leaving bad reviews so this says it all …..

Unfortunate about the service. The older member of staff was beyond rude. So much so, I won't be back. She made us feel very unwelcome and made a comment that she could kill someone today. Figure of speech but so unprofessional. The couple on the table beside us even commented on her behaviour. We moved tables outside as the cafe was getting busy and felt uncomfortable. She then moaned about us moving table and having to sanitise the table. Then put a sign up telling ppl they aren't allow to move tables and told staff to tell ppl not to move as she's sick of sanitating tables a direct dig at me. We have been to the cafe many of times and yes she has been rude and abrupt but today's it was beyond shocking. I hate leaving a bad review as the hospitality sector has suffered so badly over the past 18 months but honestly feel it needs to be addressed.

So far have only had coffee and scone at Dancing Goat. Both very nice and on a good day there is lovely outdoor area to sit. Great garden centre. My granddaughter was with me and she enjoyed seeing the goats, ducks etc and playing in the garden area.

Sat for 20 minutes before an order was even taken, then waited a further 30 minutes for sandwiches. Way too slow and frustrating. Would not go back in a hurry.

We called in to the Dancing Goat cafe today with our 4 year old grandson. Beautiful cafe, lovely food and staff. Went around the farm and garden centre after - our grandson really enjoyed it - especially the rabbits which you are allowed to take out of their hutches and pet - a highlight of the day. Farm is free - just put a donation in the box beside the wash point (we had to ask where the donation box was) Garden centre excellent- getting ready for Christmas so we will be back in December

Kilcreggan farm is an excellent place to visit with children to see the farm animals. You can also buy vegetables, fresh eggs and plants. The Dancing Goat cafe is excellent for a tea or coffee morning or afternoon break and also for lunches.

This cafe was incredible. The food and staff were amazing and the cafe is part of an urban farm which offers opportunities to adults with different abilities to learn about farming, animals, gardening, and building. The animals include rabbits, goats, and more and the plants and flowers are beautiful. Kids will love running around and seeing all of the animals and parents will love supporting the great mission.

The staff of the Dancing Goat Café in Carrickfergus went above and beyond for our large group from Western Michigan University. They served delicious soup, sandwiches and trays of desserts that we ate for days afterwards. We received a tour of the animals, structures and gardens that the men and women work hard to maintain, and do so beautifully. There is fresh produce to purchase or you can dine in the spacious café! I would highly recommend this place!

I have been to the Dancing Goat cafe several times. It is part of the Kilcreggan Urban Farm,locally known as a best kept secret in Carrickfergus. On our last visit we were able to sit outside and then walk around the garden centre. The cafe can be busy ,with a good range of delicacies. Lovely spot for a "time out"

Cute little cafe on a little farm, ideal for a cheap afternoon out with young children. Serves sandwiches and tray bakes! The little farm has chickens, goats and other small farm animals which the children can feed.

Have been often with the wife for lunch and have never been disappointed. The food (the quiche being our favourite) is fantastic and the surroundings just adds that little bit extra. If you're looking a good tasty lunch, visit the Dancing Goat.
