Glenarm Castle Tea Room in Larne

It MUST be locals who whine about the 'high prices' because I'm telling you that as someone from the mainland, the prices on the board for the main meal lunch courses looked great value, and I was worried that the portions would be small. Ha! We were a big group and everything ordered was generously portioned and excellent quality. I had the burger and chips, and it was superb - two thick beef patties, bacon, cheese, tomato, gerkin and excellent, thick-cut chips that were hot, crispy out and fluffy in. Banging - best burger in many years. My father-in-law had the ploughman's and, again, it was a mighty feast of quality produce that he struggled to finish. We followed with some of their bakery items and the Victoria Sponge was divine. The service was prompt and the staff lovely. 7 adults and three kids, all eating a main course, plus teas/coffees/soft drinks all round and a few who had cakes to follow, ALL delicious food and generously portioned to leave us so stuffed we only had a small evening meal back at home later, and averaging about £9 each. Bargain!

Visited today with a friend for lunch and was absoloutely disgusted with the lack of social distancing and such a shame to see other members of the public not following guidelines re. masks etc. For such a busy place I would have liked to have seen more regulations in place, other customers were queuing right beside our table, making it an uncomfortable environment. Staff were all very friendly despite being it being so busy. The food was delicious, especially the goats cheese salad. But overall wouldn’t rush back if looking to enjoy a relaxing afternoon out.

I am sorry to report we had a less than average meal here today, we eat here occasionally and this time was very poor. The chips were undercooked, the burger was very nice, the fish was just ok but a very small portion compared to what used to be on offer. The staff are very pleasant and surroundings are beautiful.We didn't complain but probably won't return, maybe it was just an off day but Glenarm castle tea room really should offer better for the price charged, my opinion.

Try the Double Cheese Burger with Bacon! The service can be a little but slow but it is well worth the wait! We dined alfresco in the lovely garden outside the cafe which gives you views of the castle .

Lunch - a burger (very good) and scampi. Lukewarm plates meant that the food was cold before we had eaten. The - in my opinion - more serious error was that excellent crisp scampi was plated on top of mushy peas (also above average). The result was that a potentially excellent meal was down graded by batter made soggy by the mushy peas. What a pity.

Had a lovely lunch here very tasty food I would highly recommend especially if you are visiting the walled gardens. Great choices the food was very good quality.

Somewhat underwhelmed. Sadly a local cafe seems to have been replaced by a functional chain and has really lost its ‘home cooked’ feel. It’s now lost its charm. Staff used to be lovely and friendly - still very pleasant but seem to be young students lacking in a bit of confidence. The place has stacks of potential but needs to move away from the feel of a Cafe Nero. Let’s get some local charm back. Not a fan of having tray bakes served on saucers because they ran out of plates as a simple example.

We visited last week- busy because of “eat out to help out” but the Glenarm classic burger is well worth the wait. Visited the shop to buy topside. All the beef is from their own Organic shorthorn herd and not at all expensive given the quality. The lady in the shop even gave me her lunch cool bag to transport the meat home. Will be back!

Excellent never disappoints. Breakfast or lunch we are always impressed with the food drinks and desserts served!

Popped in here today and it was open for carry out......this used to be our favourite place but had really gone down hill badly last year......we're we shocked.....it has been taken over by GROUND......coffee and fresh gorgeous things especially caramel squares......to die for......went back in for seconds.....Lovely friendly helpful welcoming staff......and lovely lady in reception to welcome us in......excellent social distancing.....loved it......can't wait to go back to this special place

Went with friends for coffee and cakes....the place is beautiful, lovely and warm, food amazing and staff even better....worth a visit if in area....

My husband and I have been coming to the Tea Rooms since they first opened. We have watched it grow from the original to the lovely place it is now. However on our last visit we were very disappointed in the food. My husband had the Chowder which is usually outstanding, but it was served in what I can only describe as an oversized crispy bap. I had the chicken goujons which were overdone and dry. The coffee was very good and the lemon drizzle delicious. We will be back as we love the gardens. Hope next time it will be better.

Been here on several occasions and although I still have a fondness for this cafe (and it's beautiful location) it's tainted by being able to provide consistent delicious food together with staff who are either friendly or at worst unwelcoming... even grumpy (Shirley!) On our recent visit I had hoped for the seafood chowder but it wasn't on the menu so opted for a toasted sandwich (turkey and stuffing) it was a bland tasting bite with little contents. I actually opened it and looked inside with disappointment and the scattering of crisps on the side didn't change my opinion. Previously when I have ate here the food was delicious, usually complimented with some side salad but not on this occasion. Fingers crossed management take heed of this review and when I return hopefully the quality of food and customer service will be more consistent! (PS The clothing shop, fudge shop and delightful little curiosity shop in the courtyard are great and certainly worth a visit to browse or buy!)

Outstanding in every department, food is beyond amazing, cake selection is beautiful, lovely idyllic setting and cheerful friendly staff who always go that extra mile. Best cafe on the coast.

Have been to this tearoom on numerous occasions, sometimes just for coffee, a snack and also for a meal ad eat time it was lovely. Food always fantastic, especially the seafood chowder!

We’ve been a number of times - as it is on a road we use a lot - and find the tea room to be (at times) noisy, consistently not particularly friendly service-wise, the coffee can be very badly prepared and we have been charged on a number of occasions for full breakfasts etc despite only having a couple of items.

We visited the Walled Gardens at the castle today and called at the coffee shop for a quick cuppa before heading home. I can't comment on the food but we thought the coffee shop was delightful. We had tea seated in very comfy armchairs overlooking the lovely kitchen garden.

OK to stop if you have time or want a break on the Antrim Coast road. Very like an average cloned National Trust tea room.

Carrot and coriander soup tasted burnt and as though vinegar had been added to try to disguise this. Only 1 Cajun chicken ciabatta on display at 1:30, we were informed there were no others - would have preferred ham and cheese. Woman who served the soup/hot food is not very welcoming. We have been eating in the cafe for years, since the old days. It's not the friendly and caring place it used to be. Shame.

Great location and good coffee, however the service can be a bit abrupt. Large number of very young staff.

A very welcoming restaurant- all the staff are very friendly and love to have a chat with you. A good selection of meals and just great for a coffee and a homemade piece of cake - a visit to the walled garden is also worthwhile - having enjoyed Hemsley walled garden in Yorkshire I would say Glenarm is on a par with it

Had a delicious lunch today in the cafe.The burgers were a very high standard and served with a lovely fresh salad and red hot chips.The cafe was very well decorated comfortable and clean. The only disappointment was the plastic flowers on the tables when the garden at the castle has so many lovely fresh flowers to choose from.

We were just in for coffee and cake but we were very impressed. The cafe is beautifully furnished and comfortable, what we had was all great and the staff were very friendly.

Lunch today at Glenarm tea rooms was absolutely delicious!!! The location is as good as the food!! Dogs are welcome outside too so it's perfect for the 4 paws family members too!! Highly recommend!!

Quite a queue to get in, waited and ordered good from the counter, all looked lovely. We are all vegetarian and 2 of us ordered vegetarian frittata. Shortly after the waitress brought the food over and we ate...only for the frittata eaters to discover half way through that it had ham in it! (Small pieces so not immediately obvious). Called the waitress back, who said, " Well it's supposed to be vegetarian, I'll go and see what's happening." No one came back, so my husband went up to the counter and someone checked with the chef, who said it was meat... Got the money back and an offer of different food, but it's really not a nice thing to happen, especially for my daughter, who has vegetarian all her life. And not even any follow up from the staff

Dropped in for a cup of tea late in afternoon. Lovely. Also had a slice of banana cake which was delicious. Friendly staff, very clean and tidy. Looked like a good choice of food available. Too late for walled garden visit but will go again! Lots of parking and some good looking shops dotted around.

Ham and cheese toasty made with beautiful carved ham and local red cheddar on wonderful brown bread, homemade Key Lime pie with tasty coffee. Staff excellent friendly and pleasant. Surroundings delightful with the option of al fresco dining. Prices £13 for a toasty and a piece of pie

A vey nice place to have lunch or coffee and cake. There is a good choice of food and it’s well presented. It is self service and space is limited for wheelchairs etc so bear that in mind if visiting.

I was out walking the dog so decided I would pop in for a scone and a drink. There were lots of young girls as waitresses, mostly all standing around doing nothing. The place was quite busy and there was a long queue at the till. There was a young girl on the till who rather than just take the money seemed to have to serve people with their drinks so she was spending most of her time filling tea pots and milk jugs and not enough time taking cash hence the long queue, meanwhile at least 4 other waitresses stood around and did nothing.

Ate here during the festival and found it to be good food and good service in a nice cafe environment.

The tearoom seemed very busy when we were there. It's larger than it looks at first and there are outside tables as well. The pastries are wonderful. Good place to stop for tea but don't miss the gardens.

Visited today with my Mum,husband and daughter for a light bite and cuppa around 4 o’clock,food was fine but I’m so annoyed that I didn’t ask the two females serving what their problem was,I asked did they do paninis and the lady pointed to the ciabatta and said same thing! Emmm actually it isn’t,I then asked did they have beetroot and she pointed to a bowl without speaking,before we had even got to the till the girl had rang everything in and hit us with a bill of £32,I politely asked if we could pay separately and the look on her face was enough! Shame as a nice wee place to relax!

We enjoyed an afternoon here and grabbed lunch at the tea room. The food was tasty and we enjoyed browsing the little shop they had too.

Questo bar/ristorante si trova subito dietro la biglietteria dei giardini del castello di Glenarm dove si ripassa all'uscita. Noi abbiamo preso il thé con un'ottima fetta di torta alle ciliegie, ma ho visto altri clienti che mangiavano pasta e/o panini. Gentilissime le ragazze dello staff.

Glenarm Castle tea room is very good. This was my second visit. I came with a group of friends which included a resident of Glenarm who knew the ropes. We came for lunch. This tea room has much more to offer than just tea and scones. The lunch was very good indeed. One friend had mushrooms on toast. They looked spectacular! That dish was stylish not a bit like the basic offering I prepare for myself when I am home alone. I had Caesar salad which was adapted because I am vegetarian. I was pleased with it. The others had salads which looked inviting. They both enjoyed the stuffed peppers which they declared were home made.

Live locally to Cafe and have used on a regular basis. Over the past two visits it has slumped badly.

I spent £21:50 on bland scones for 4 people and had to listen to a screaming toddler who screeched it's way without supervision and who belonged to a waitress on duty. I was forced to move to a quieter part of cafe, gulp my tea and leave asap. NOT how I want to spend my leisure time

Scrambled eggs underdone - white of egg barely cooked. Breakfast also served on a cold plate. Not a pleasant experience. ( I have had the same breakfast on numerous occasions here without a problem). Waitress advised when table was being cleared).

My husband and I called in here on Sunday 7th April for a late lunch. When we arrived the place was very busy, however a member of staff quickly found us a table and we went and placed our order, my husband went for the Angus beef burger with chips and side and I went for the special, lamb & Mediterranean vegetable moussaka. Both our meals were delicious and freshly made. We both had dessert afterwards ( key lime pie for me and chocolate cake for hubby) which again looked homemade and tasted delicious. Lovely surroundings and pleasant staff. This place really is a hidden gem and we came across it by chance. The next time we are in the area we will definitely make a visit for lunch a must.

Don't listen to the moaners!! honestly this is the best place for freshly made to order, good quality food. The burgers are made from Glenarm's own estate reared beef & the chowder is full to the brim with fish & so tasty! The selection of desserts is amazing, so hard to choose!! I had a piece of home made carrot cake (probably the best I’ve ever had!) & my partner had strawberry Pavlova with a berry sauce on it which was equally as yummy!

We used to visit Glenarm Castle tearooms before it was renovated and you could get lovely home cooked cakes and meals, now it has been transformed it into visually attractive premises but with small portioned bland food at expensive prices.

My wife and I stopped here for lunch yesterday. Had the goats cheese salad - around £7-8 per head. Absolutely delicious but honestly it could have fitted in a saucer - really very tiny portions. Basically it was a portion of a bag of supermarket salad leaves, a small boiled beetroot, and very small portion of cheese, with a balsamic reduction as dressing. I had a very similar lunch the previous day in a local eatery and I received a whole goats cheese, salad and French roll as a starter and it only cost me £3.95. It was much more substantial and filling. The wheaten bread which we needed to increase the size of the portion was priced separately. We had lemon meringue for desert (split between the two of us) which was reasonable in size and very good. I bought a packet of O'Donnells crisps for the journey afterwards - £1.45 - honestly they are 80p in other cafes. We both loved this location but at just under £30 for lunch it was 5 star hotel prices, in a cafe. Additionally the tea for 2 came in a small pot which only provided enough tea for one and a half small cups each. Honestly folks, hot water is cheap - surely if you provided a teapot which contained about 4-6 cups worth of tea, you might increase your business with folks returning to the counter to purchase tray-bakes or cake with which to finish their tea! All in all a really beautiful location, beautiful cafe but one which in our opinion really overcharges and under delivers in terms of portion size.

We have stopped off here for lunch, twice, recently and been very pleased with the ambience, the service and the standard of meals. There's an extensive 'Brunch' menu as well as a variety of 'Specials'. The service is cheerful and efficient. we shall certainly return.

The service was very efficient and friendly. Food is excellent. Had the best burger and chips we ever tasted. As it was almost full there was a very warm and pleasant atmosphere.

We had lunch here twice recently and it was great both times . Very comfortable surroundings and very friendly atmosphere . There's a great choice and everything we had was delish . The staff are lovely , pleasant and helpful .

The cafe website advised it was open on Sunday 30th December and we drove their to meet friends for lunch. A handwritten sign posted on the inside gate said closed until 11 January. Several cars drove up while we were there. Appreciate with hindsight we should have rung ahead to check but it would have taken little effort to post advice on holiday opening times on their website and it would be courteous to visitors and tourists too.

We stopped for lunch at the Glenarm Castle Tea Room. It was delicious! I am still talking about the Cajun chicken sandwich! Very delicious. Great coffee as well. We were disappointed the gardens were closed, but the food did not disappoint!

I highly reccomend both the walled garden and the tea room which has especially delicious food and lovely staff.

Ran into this lovely little place on our way to giants causeway and was absolutely blown away. Such a lovely location and a lovely tea room with beautiful interior decor. Staff were absolutely amazing and the food came extremely quickly and was cooked to perfection. Would 100% visit again if in the area, 10/10 would recommend

What a wondful place to eat! Great food, lovely staff and reasonable prices so what more do you want?!

The seafood chowder was exceptional and absolutely chock full of seafood piled high over the top of the bowl. The carrot soup was flavorful and perfect for a light lunch on a cool day. The bread that came with the soups was also wonderful.

Visited today with 3 friends Excellent menu I had Duck confit with the most superb chunky chips I have ever tasted. One friend was Gluten free she had soup and Sandwich made with gluten-free bread. Another had creamy wild mushrooms on Brioche and another had fish and chips Service good Pleasant Staff Will be back

When we arrived the restaurant was full so went off to the walled garden. Meal was worth waiting for. Goats cheese and beetroot salad was superb. Smoked bacon Caesar salad equally good. Good soup and coffee too. Best chips ever tasted.

Pre-booked as a birthday treat for my sis!

I called down to the tea room today with my family we had ordered our coffees and cake when we were advised the card machine was broken. We didn’t happen to have cash on us so myself and my partner walked into the town in search of a cash machine. There was only one cash machine in town which was out of money. We headed back up to the tea room after asking in each of the Glenarm castle shops would they on this occasion do cash back but to no avail. We did eventually scrape enough cash together to get tea and cake but by that stage none of us were in the mood. The staff were very unhelpful and we eventually found out the card machine has been broken for 8 days and they have made no effort to fix it. While the Glenarm castle gardens are lovely I would give the tea room with its mediocre yet expensive food and incompetent staff a miss!!!!

Excellent quality food and service. We visited several times for lunch and breakfasts. Castle breakfast is excellent quality and uses local produce. French toast is amazing just add bacon and maple syrup.. yummy! We will definitely return. Polite and friendly staff very approachable.

Beautiful surroundings. Asked for the poached eggs with tomato relish. I asked for bacon with it. My husband ordered the full breakfast with white pudding.

Stopped here today as part of our food tour, and everything was delicious! Super tender organic beef and the bread was to die for. The gardens are so beautiful and we enjoyed exploring them. Would definitely recommend.

My husband and I were over in Ireland for the Ulster GP in Antrim and have been past this location many times on our motorbikes when we decided to drop in this time.

Biggest problem here is the queueing & seating system - it's a bit of a mess to be honest. Scones, tart & buns were fine, lattes a little on the luke warm side. Nice surroundings, clean & tidy.

Called in for lunch on a Sunday afternoon place was very busy the staff were well organized and very pleasant and had us seated very quickly food was excellent and a lot of choice totally recommend and would call again

Before we toured the gardens we had lunch here.

I stopped to eat at tea room on my way to Portrush. It was my first place to stop to eat upon arrival in Ireland. It was a very busy/crowed place. I ordered the seafood chowder. It had a thin milk like base and the flavor was unappetizing. There was no seafood flavor. The waitress was very nice and credited my account since I informed her that I could not eat it. Other food, such as sandwiches looked good, but I did not eat any of them. The dessert was very good.

Beautiful food in a most beautiful setting. Spacious accessible tea rooms with outdoor seating available. Staff most pleasant . Lovely shop with a variety of goods such as jewellery , clothes, sunglasses,candles and cards can be browsed and is only a minutes walk away

It is with great disappointment that I write this review as I shall never return to this tearoom. On visiting today we both ordered their usually delicious burger but on this occassion my came red raw in the middle, although I would eat steak a little rare I would not risk a burger!!! I was not ask on ordering how I would like my burger cooked although I hate complaining on this occassion I did and the burger was reluctly taken away and returned later after sometime in the microwave it was so rubbery I couldn't eat it. I cant believe a chef would send out food like this after a simple complaint, the burger was made to look freshly done but it wasn't. I didnt complain again just came away hungry and I must say I checked another customer's burger on the way out and his was perfect not red in the middle at all and my husbands was fine also. So so disappointed that such a fine tearoom could do this!!! You have lost local custom which is bread and butter in the winter months in Northern Ireland.

visited the garden again and had lunch. it was a beautiful day and toured the gardens and got in half price using the gardens world discount card. tea room can be very busy so went in early for lunch. I has salted chilli prawns that where excellent and my husband a beetroot salad. the tea room was full so we finished touring the garden and had our coffee outside in the court yard. excellent place to stop if visiting the Antrim coast road. go early if weather good. will be back.

Visited the tea room a few years ago with friends and what a change! Then it was half the size and the toilets were in a portacabin. The improvements to the building and facilities are fabulous. So is the menu. My daughter had a burger which was so impressively presented she wondered how she would eat it! She managed however and said it was the best she’s had for a long time!

We only had coffee and cake but we could see that all the food on display looked excellent. Our cakes were certainly very good.

Went here on a Sunday morning with two friends. Over £17 for 3 ridiculously small coffees and 3 tray bakes. The small coffees tasted ok and the tray-bakes were good but not worth the money. This place is popular with tourists and this is why the prices are inflated in my opinion.

My Husband & I popped in for just lunch yesterday. Whilst the place was quiet full at the time we did manage to get seated. After buying salmon etc., from the shop, I'd gone on into the Tea-Rooms to use the loo, my husband was then informed that we would have to pay £6pp entrance fee for the walled garden even though we wouldn't be going into it ~ we were only doing lunch! Personally I thought that this was an outrage and simply extorting money from people, IMHO that is. The cost of the food in the Tea Rooms is rather steep in the first instance - we got Burgers & Chips and a tin of pop each, cost £20.80. The service was slow, and the food (mainly the burger) was just look warm when it arrived. Now ALL that stated, the Staff were extremely helpful and pleasant, as was the lady in the 'Clothes Shop', however, we won't be rushing back soon. As someone else has pointed out, the car parking facility nearer the Tea Rooms leaves a lot to be desired - - small, tight, and a nightmare to negotiate in & out! Also I think they could improve on the Signs layout.

Nous nous sommes arrêtés à Glenarm sur le trajet de Ballycastle depuis Belfast. Ce tea room constitue une pause plaisante, dans un environnement calme et soigné. Des sandwiches, infusions, les incontournables scones et quelques plat cuisinés (fish and chips, burgers, soupes).

My husband and I had a lovely meal at the Bistro night at the tea room. The theme was surf and turf. We both had the seafood starter, I had the hake with beans, samphire and chorizo. My husband had belly pork. Finished with warm lemon sponge with berries and ice cream. Food and service was excellent as usual. Great value. Looking forward to our next night there.

This has to be my favourite place to have lunch...or breakfast....or coffee (though quite often I choose the peppermint tea!) When I'm out for a trip up the Coast Road. Food is always delicious and fresh and the service is superb. The folk who work there never stop yet take time to help you and answer your questions. Excellent service. Such a lovely atmosphere and surroundings. Always use my membership card to enjoy a walk around the gardens too.

So many cars in this parking lot, that we had to park in the overflow area, not too far away. You could eat without having to pay to enter the castle or gardens. In fact, if the owner is in residence, you won't be able to enter the castle or gardens.

such a lovely discovery set in beautiful grounds and with such friendly and sweet staff. food was lovely but just wanted to say we ordered toasties but they were barely toasted and they were cold without the cheese melted- some of the hubky chips hadn't been cooked long enough and potato was not soft but hard. The salads and quality of ham in toastie etc were lovely and I'm sure if we had complained the toasties would have been redone. Would not put me off returning as staff great and the hot food coming out e.g burgers and fish etc looked delicious.

The small walled garden was a riot of colour from the planting’s of a large variety of unusual tulips.

We drove up the north coast and had lunch in the tea room, great food and surroundings, well worth the drive

Myself and my partner visited the tea rooms on Saturday when we where attending Bloomfest! The staff were more than accommodating, We were greeted by a lovely woman with dark hair who happily welcomed us. There was a great selection of hot foods and wonderful cakes, I had the lasagne which was delicious and my partner had a seafood dish which he also really enjoyed! Both reasonably priced!

The Tea Room at the Castle showcases the best local produce. From short horn beef to venison salami, fudge and my favourite- the locally produced Glenarm Salmon. The tea and pastries are a must!!

This is a charming tea room serving delicious coffee and food including poached eggs & toast, soup, sandwiches and cakes etc! It’s a superb place to replenish and relax for a while.

This is not our first visit ,we used to go regularly before the renovations and I have to say it was delightful , excellent food and superb staff !

What a great place, clean tidy and very very friendly. We stopped off and had a late lunch. The open chicken sandwiches are fantastic and came with rice salad, pasta, mixed leaves and chick pea salad too. Fresh tasty and flavoursome. Really great place

Very present spot and high quality tea with fantastic scones - homemade. Jam in plastic sachet was boring could be 5* with better quality jam

Arrived for lunch and had to wait 15 minutes for a table. When shown to our table it had not been fully cleared and wiped down. We had to ask a waiter to come and clean the table before we ordered. Two meals of our 3 arrived and were very tasty. The soup never arrived despite asking two separate waitresses. After 30 minutes waiting we left disappointed.

North Antrim coastal drive is one of the best in the world, but you need a good cake to keep you going! Lovely place to stop with walled garden (beauty varies by season!) Busy tea room but friendly efficient service!

Beautiful surroundings and excellent food! If you’re in the area or passing by, it’s worth a visit. You won’t be disappointed.

Had a lovely coffee and custard cream this time. Ive been several times but this is my first review of this place.

I have driven by on numerous occasions and today stopped for lunch. Our Initial delight at the surroundings and menu were then diminished on the arrival of our lunch. We had ordered sandwiches which came with a rocket salad side and were hugely disappointed that both were far from fresh, manky salad leaves, soggy and off and dry unappetising bread. I did tell a staff member who simply said ‘Oh sorry’. Which is far from satisfactory at all.

Really nice place to visit, would highly recommend if you are on the shore road. The poached eggs are the best I’ve ever had and the staff are all really pleasant. Will definitely be back!

Delighted at the new improved tea room- it’s been some time since I last visited. There is not a wide choice of places to stop for a snack along the coast road but this is a real gem. The homemade food was delicious and there was a nice ambiance and comfortable decor. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely call back.

The tearoom has more than doubled in size since my last visit and the quality of meals and snacks on offer has improved similarly. we had planned a very light lunch but were tempted by the burger and the braised rabbit respectively - both of which were delicious. the surroundings are very pleasant and the staff welcoming and friendly - definitely worth a return visit!

We dropped into the Walled Garden Tearoom for late lunch while driving from Belfast to Giant’ Causeway the other afternoon....

Called on Sunday and was surprised with the quality of the food. Service fast , efficient and very pleasing surroundings....

We stopped here just before the restaurant was closing (although we were not aware of this fact) just for tea,...

Very nice recent Saturday experience was enjoyed. The staff were so young and friendly, even carrying our tray to our table. Tea and tray bakes delicious and surroundings very comfortable. Tea room was packed and a very nice pre christmas atmosphere was starting to form as it was getting darkish early. Heading back very soon.

My husband and I have just been for supper at the tea room. The standard of food is excellent, I had turbot with butternut squash risotto, fish cooked to perfection. My husband had the slow cooked shorthorn beef again cooked to perfection. After three courses we are stuffed but very content.

I have gone to the Glenarm Tea Rooms for breakfast, coffee and scones, cake, all are delicious. But last weekend we went to their Bistro night entitled The Sea on a Saturday night. The atmosphere is cosy, you get a 3 course meal for £25 and it is BYO, great idea. The food was delicious, fresh and very pleasing to the eye. They have a very young staff, which is nice to see, overseen by Rosie who is very pleasant to talk to and a real asset to the business. Very enjoyable evening. Mid November Christmas menu will be available, i can't wait.

Visited The tea room yesterday and had an amazing lunch.

Nous avons déjeuné dans ce restaurant sur le conseil de la charmante dame de l'office de tourisme. Les plats étaient bons et copieux, le personnel avenant. Par dessus tout, j'ai apprécié l'ambiance très british avec les personnes âgées qui viennent prendre leur déjeuner dans les fauteuils à carreaux. C'est un endroit charmant.

Went there to check out the castle. Stopped for coffe and cake .. busy little spot. Well worth the effort to get there .. lovely grounds and lovely tea room...
