Harrisons of Greyabbey in Ards

Seven of us had afternoon tea on Saturday 23/11/24 - amazing from start to finish. Excellent value for money, food was delicious and plentiful. Harrison’s staff always go above and beyond and made my six year old granddaughter feel so special. The best afternoon tea I have ever had - and I’ve had a few! Definitely highly recommend

First visit here and wow what a lovely place. Jellycat heaven absolutely gorgeous lunch and the best customer service I have had in many years! Be back soon 😊

We were visiting a few sites nearby so planned a stop by here for brunch. Luckily we were just in time to order from the breakfast menu so I went for the vegetarian cooked breakfast, my husband had the cheese & mushroom omelette, my son the pancakes with Nutella and my daughter was delighted with the 'build your own' option so compiled her meat free/carbs loaded ideal brunch! All good delicious. I treated myself to the salted caramel hot chocolate and my family looked on enviously. Nice restaurant area with good service, located within a garden centre. Great veggie and kids food options.

Ordered some Jellycat teddies from this company. Shipped super quickly and came in perfect condition. Thank you so much ❤️

Great place to stop after a few miles on the bike for coffee and scones

A lovely place to eat, enjoy the views and look at the different plants on offer. The views over the Strangford Lough are fantastic, the food is delicious and the staff are so lovely. We have been on various occasions and have never been disappointed ☺️

The food is great, the view is beautiful. Awesome place

This is a lovely location with a great view but don't come to Harrison's for the gift shop nor the garden centre as both are small and pretty sad. The food in the restaurant especially desserts are home made and absolutely fab and a great place fo stop if in the area. But please dont travel for a long distance for the rest. Hats off to their social media person who has made it look much better on facebook than it actually is. Prefer Hillview in Newtownabbey or Colemans in Templepatrick for a real shopping experience. Sorry

This morning I visited Harrison’s for the first time with my friend. We went to see all the amazing jellycats that they have in store. Definitely the place to go if you are looking for a Jellycat. We also visited the cafe and had a slice of their Jellycat cake. It was delicious!! Really nice staff and we will 100% be back!!

We enjoyed the most wonderful Alice In Wonderland themed afternoon tea today. The staff were beautifully attentive yet gave us plenty time to enjoy our afternoon. The savoury selection was beautiful, amazing sandwiches, teacups of soup and prawn cocktails. Gorgeous desserts as always and the staging was perfect. The attention to detail was spot on. We have had afternoon tea all over the place and this has to be among the very best.

Took myself out recovering from surgery on a beautiful morning to travel down the Peninsula to find a new place for coffee& scone. Researched and found Harrison’s. Location and view first class. Received a very friendly welcome. I asked whether they made a proper cappuccino “oh yes” with a smile , ordered along with an apple & cinnamon scone. Sat outside enjoying the beautiful view, service quick and with a smile and friendly chat . All the staff were just lovely… the coffee gorgeous and best apple & cinnamon I’ve ever had. A truly relaxing & enjoyable experience!

Lovely food and brilliant views.They sometimes make mistakes like not giving enough syrup.

Had a lovely meal today and a made a few purchases in the shop.

We have been to Harrison's many times, but this is the first time I've left a review. We visited this morning & had a great time. We had the option of ordering via the app or by a waitress. We used the app as it gave 10% off drinks & the service was very quick. Everything was reasonably priced, tasty & well presented. Also stunning views over Strangford Lough & an outdoor playpark for children. The owners are both lovely & seem to be very hands on. The gift shop has so many beautiful things including the best range of Jellycats I've ever seen! They also have a garden centre with plants & garden accessories. Highly recommend a visit!

Lovely shop for presents, food and plants. The restaurant gives a great view over Strangford Lough from the Mournes to Scrabo Tower. Food was excellent, good quality and quantity served by friendly staff

Had a quick coffee and gluten-free brownie while making a delivery to Harrisons. The view was special, the coffee and brownie delicious. The service was friendly and efficient and gluten-free options were not a problem here. Feel good vibes and a well-managed establishment. Definitely recommend.

Spent a day trip down the Ards Peninsula and was recommended to pop into Harrison’s and I’m so glad we did. We had a delicious brunch, lots of choice on the menu, and had beautiful views of Strangford Lough and the Mournes. The food was very reasonably priced and there is a lovely shop and nursery to dander around too. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to pay another visit!

Yesterday we had another wonderful lunch, Haddock and chips was excellent, and I had my favorite, chicken stack. Perfect. Friendly efficient staff, thanks Helen and all your team 😁

First time at Harrison’s and it was a wonderful experience. Ordered the farmers breakfast and a build you own fry, quantity and quality very good, we were seated at the window, view from Scrabo Tower to the Mourne mountains was stunning. The staff are the happiest and friendliest we have ever met and that makes all the difference. I highly recommend Harrison’s Restaurant.

Food was cold when eventually arrived at our table. was sent back but was cold when it came out the second time. disappointed to say the least 🙁

Great just my mum struggling with the walk through shop to restraunt

Great cafe/restaurant with adjoining gift shop and garden centre. Breakfast menu is my favourite. Attached photo is taken from outside dining area, looking over Strangford Lough. Also view from inside overlooking the lough with Mourne mountains in the distance

Had the most amazing afternoon tea with family celebrating my nieces 18th birthday. Table was decorated beautifully and plenty of savoury & sweet treats for everyone. We actually had so much left over they gave us boxes to take it home. Fabulous service by David & Lorraine. We would definitely recommend this place and we will be back. Thank you for a lovely experience.

Visited this morning with our two grandchildren. Food was really good and staff friendly and professional. Would definitely go back here. Recommend the scones and pancakes.

Just had Alice and Wonderland themed afternoon tea the food and decorations were brilliant would recommend it

Disappointing visit today to Harrison’s. On arrival it was very busy - last day of school so alot of folk there for lunch. However, our lunch lacked in flavour and taste. It was very disappointing. And I do think £17 for an open salad with a handful of chips (which were inedible) is too expensive.

The has brown hard like rock. Everything deep fried not pan fried.

Visited Saturday 15th June, shown quickly to a table and ordered sandwiches which were lovely. After eating sandwiches we decided to move outside, I asked waitress if we could order tea and americano and have it outside as sun was out, she took order. After 20mins I asked again, there seemed to be confusion with us moving outside wirh different table number, she said that it was on its way, after another 15mins asked another waitress who was outside serving, eventually got out tea and coffee after 40mins. I was tempted to either just leave or make it myself. The waitress staff were all very nice, although I got a filter coffee instead of an Americano. Went to pay and mentioned to Mature lady on till about delay and wrong coffee and she replied "at least filter is cheaper". Not right answer at all, probably won't return as found this reply from lady on till very rude, maybe if she had even said sorry about mix up. The waiting staff are all very lovely.

Great place to call for a breakfast, friendly staff, great views, good food. Win/Win Breakfast pics below

Thanks for looking after 9 cyclists today who arrived soaking wet. Hot coffee and great scones were immediately served and much appreciated. Service was above the call of duty, as we continued to drip at the table, then without any complaint the staff just moped up after us. Thanks again

My husband and I visited here today for lunch. We were shown to a table straight away even though it was busy. We both ordered the chicken stack and I have to say it was absolutely delicious. Creamy mash, chicken fillet with cheese and a lovely thick slice of bacon, topped with pepper sauce and light crispy onion rings. I felt I had to leave a review to show our appreciation to the chef and all the staff. We will definitely be back.

The food and view is amazing, but the water jar is dirty and comes with soil dots. Don't order Tap water for drink. Choose other drink.

Took my elderly parents for lunch. Great food and is popular with all ages. We all had the Harrison's fry which is a good staple.

Another fabulous meal here, such a blessing 😁 We had children stack 😊 best to be had anywhere,as it includes mashed carrot and parsnip, also broccoli. Highly recommended.

Lovely location with fantastic views and friendly staff. Food was good, nothing particular to write home about, but no complaints either.

Great views, coffee and sweet treats. Tasty club sandwich and open prawn.

A delightful find with great staff , food and views.

We visited on a random Saturday and it was truly amazing! The food was tasty and super filling with very reasonable prices. Plus the gorgeous view and super friendly staff. It's a great spot for the whole family as they sell things for home, garden and loads of things for kids. Helen the shop manager , thanks for your kind and warm welcome and will be back soon again! Salam and hossam

Amazing proper Norn Irn breakfast! Lovely place with great staff. Not very cheap but then again quality doesn't come cheap.

Comfort food of the highest quality at very reasonable prices. Friendly, welcoming staff and an amazing view over Strangford Lough. Trust me, you will not go hungry here.

Best afternoon tea ever! Great food, and service in a very relaxed atmosphere...

We had a friend visiting so we made a 2 hour round trip to Harrison’s on the recommendation of a family member. Despite the interminable rain, it was just a joy! The waitresses were friendly and accommodating, the food was sooo good (and you can select exactly what you want for your fry on the website if you choose) and the view was just fabulous. Unlike Ashvale Farm where we would go locally, we were at no point urged to vacate our seats, despite the queue, as it does take me quite a long time to clear a plate! I had the French toast with extra banana and maple syrup and it was just divine. All others at the table really enjoyed their too (including my husband who couldn’t decide so he ordered two breakfasts - then moaned all day because he’d eaten too much 😆!) I was slightly disappointed by the grumpy man in the shop who wasn’t particularly helpful but then we didn’t go, to go to the shop. We will definitely be back to the restaurant though- thank you all for a wonderful morning!

A buzzing place with a lovely view; would have preferred, though, if the owners had arranged for a blue sky the day of our visit.

I visited this place after 4 years and it has gone down hill. We had to be asking for butter, sugar and they had almost no food available. The plate was almost empty… just loads of bread. Also we had to change our choices twice. A shame! We love the place but felt disappointed after our last visit.

Excellent great location family run business

Went for a spontaneous family meal and the staff were so lovely and accommodating to my mum, who is in a wheelchair. The only fault I have is that it was relatively busy and their tables for 4 are rather small. All in all, a lovely experience.

Such a wonderful place to eat, wonderful staff, and people friendly, beautiful food and smaller portions for pensioners and children. X

Great brunch with amazing company

Usually very nice but today not up to the past experience

Food extremely over priced! £40!!! 2 black coffees, 2. Open sandwich, 1 dessert, looks good but which wasn't the best!

Really lovely food staff friendly and helpful.portions very big.

Fantastic as ever ! And GF too. Staff and service excellent. Food great.

Fantastic views, excellent service with really lovely food! 10/10

Had the most amazing Christmas turkey lunch yesterday 💯 the turkey was perfect, moist and delicious, and all the vegetables perfect as well. Not to be missed!! A joy to be in such stunning surroundings, thanks to everyone. 👍♥️

I purchased a loaf of Wheaten bread here yesterday, the first time from this shop. I cannot believe how poor it is, it's nothing like the wheaten bread I have known all my life (I am 70) and grown up with here in Northern Ireland, it's more like a fine cake, it's bland, without texture and too sweet. I won't be buying this again and do not believe it's a good example of this staple NI food

good food, friendly staff and a great view from the outdoor patio

This place is very busy but we got a table. Staff say they are always busy so that’s a good sign. They don’t have an alcohol licence. It has an adjoining garden centre which means they attract a more “mature” clientele. Food was adequate but nothing special. A nice fry up for me was good, a chicken and broccoli bake for my wife was rather tasteless but well prepared and my daughters loaded chips which was chips with chicken lumps on top. No cheese. Good friendly service seeing how busy they were.

Stunning views over Strangford lough. Excellent food in beautiful surroundings. Location does not take reservations Excellent gift and farm shop.

Amazing view, food and service. Everyone here is so friendly!

Never have we sat in such a lovely, friendly restaurant with such a beautiful view while eating really tasty food.

We were in for 40 minutes and didn't get our order taken

Excellent place, friendly staff, delicious breakfast food. We love it here!! Edit: Coming back to reduce this rating like they have reduced their menu. Very disappointed this morning only one vegetarian choice for breakfast now and it sounds awful on the menu. We actually left without ordering as the other options my family liked are gone as well. Don't know why when changing a menu you make it worse then put the prices up. Sadly we probably won't be back after coming here for years unless the menu goes back to the same level it used to be *Re-edit* Back to its previous standard. Glad they sorted out their problems. Delicious food and great service once again.

Excellent food, staff and service. Very busy but is so well organised that everything flows to perfection. Great job Helen and David keep up the good work

Excellent food and service, cannot fault it

Recommended by a friend, lovely remote place that feels friendly. Food reasonably priced, was good quality and tasty. Only issue I thought was it was slow, 45 minutes to receive a burger. Also as a solo diner I ended at a table right at the entrance, made me feel very stuck out. I’d have loved a window seat in a booth. I appreciate though groups spend more and would be prioritised. Still, I would return again if I’m in the area.

Really homely, friendly staff and owner. Desserts are amazing! Love this spot for garden shopping.

Food were nice and service is quick. Friendly staff with a nice view of the sea. Outside tables and chairs available. Morrelis ice cream in small tubs available at this place. There is a small garden centre and gift shop and plenty of car park. Would recommend if you prefer a good meal after visiting Mt Stewart as its only 10minutes by car.

1st class meal. Staff very helpful and polite

Lovely place. Great views over the countryside. Food can be highly recommended. Very nice atmosphere

We had a lovely breakfast looking out at the scenery and relaxing. Staff were very accommodating and friendly, we will definitely be back!

Lovely place, great food, fantastic portions, good friendly service and helpful and thoughtful staff, really enjoyable afternoon!

Four of us went today for lunch 😋 and it was absolutely 💯 gorgeous 😍. We were all totally amazed by the hospitality of the staff. You may need to wait in line as its so popular but the wait was really quick. We definitely will be back on our next day out as it was so on point 👉 👈. None off us had any complaints and couldn't rate everything highly enough. Food is to die for desserts are amazing 👏 and so much choice. Also loads off different drinks options.

A popular place for breakfast, lunch, dinner, teas and coffee. Great variety in the menu and food is very good - made to order. As others have commented, the views are magnificent. Frequently busy and sometimes a small wait can be expected. Overall, highly recommended. Staff are polite and very friendly. Has an adjoining farm and a gift shop which is well worth a look! Only gripe is the massive mark up on drinks. Over £2.50 for a bottle of 500ml coke and a bottle of Fruice is £2.45.

A very nice location with a view of Strangford Lough. The food was good too. We took our mother for her 86th B-Day as she had never been - she was quite impressed.

Fabulous food, friendly staff and amazingly beautiful views

Lovely wee lunch with the family for my dad's birthday!!!

Lovely place, brilliant location, super clean with lovely staff. It is a little pricey, but very similar to local garden centres etc and the food is very good.

Went here for food today. The food was lovely and the staff were friendly enough. However I got a roast silverside beef dinner, which was £14, on the plate I got one slice of beef, mash, one roast potato, one Yorkshire pudding and some vegetables with gravy. My issue with this is the pensioners, which is like £9 is the exact same just no Yorkshire or roast potatoes. I really don’t understand how for a whole £5 extra I can get one roast potato and one Yorkshire pudding on my plate…. I’ll happily visit again, but won’t be ordering that dish if it charges an extra £5 for one roastie and one Yorkshire pudding.

Friendly and helpful staff. Good food.

Lovely food tho service was a little slow

Food was lovely and plenty of it I ordered an extra chip with mine couldn't finish it good stuff.

Always lovely food and great staff. Love this restaurant!

Amazing restaurant! Food was incredible, very accommodating and the staff were very friendly. Will be my go to place now. Thank you

It was a lovely place to eat food that suited "my sister and I as we are in our "80"ies smaller portions would have enabled us to enjoy your lovely desserts and it is very noisy and here are more of us living longer so maybe something to think about a quiet area for us oldies

Beautiful setting, friendly attentive staff. Nice restaurant and adjacent garden centre and gift shop.

Lovely restaurant and friendly staff

We had afternoon tea it was REALLY delicious 😋 service was great and staff were really lovely THANKS so much

Love this place. The gift shop is beautiful, everything is presented with style are love. The owners are always there giving it a personal touch and the staff are amazing, always have a smile and a wee chat. The cakes, pavlova (and Brie) are outstanding lovely ice creams for the kiddies. Thank you x

Excellent food to suit all. We had a light lunch Gift shop and garden centre with good provision. No problem parking .Stunning views of Strangford Lough

Very nice as usual and lovely to sit outside on a beautiful afternoon

Couldn't fault it, the staff are so helpful and the food was amazing! Best haddock in batter I've ever had, and linzis chicken stack had her scraping the plate 😂 highly recommend this place, and the shop off the restaurant has a great collection of homely bits and pieces.

Lovely food, great, friendly swift service as always 10 out of 10

Stunning setting and delicious food.

Nice view but the food was very poor, avoid the Philly cheese steak baguette, inedible.

Had the philly cheese steak sandwich and it was probably the nastiest food I have eaten in a while, which became obvious as it arrived a matter of minutes after ordering it. Their food is far from fresh or good quality.

Perfect place for a Saturday brunch. The view is amazing on a good day. Food is delicious, place is clean and the service is friendly.

Good food. Lovely selection of plants and flowers. Not over priced. Nice gift selections.

Good food and friendly service with views over the lough that make it all the more enjoyable

What a great find! Had never been here before but lovely food with amazing views and really great relaxed friendly staff too despite busyness. We went for a late lunch, I would imagine it would be very busy at peak times. The whole garden centre was lovely too. Well worth a visit and we'll certainly be back!

First time there today. Fantastic place. Lovely coffee, food and excellent staff. Couldn’t recommend it high enough !!
