HollieBerrie At The Tearooms in Banbridge

I went here today to get some of their baked goods for takeaway, I could not rate this place higher, the staff were soo genuinely friendly and helpful. We got a rocky road and a cookie sandwich and they were both amazing, I wish we could have tried the scones but they were unfortunately sold out when we got there. I would 100% recommend and will definitely be back.

Upon arrival we were surprised to see a queue but it was moving fast and we were sitting at the table before we knew it! The selection and food was amazing and when we went to pay we were greeted by an amazing selection of tray bakes on display. Despite being busy, not once did we feel rushed and we really enjoyed our brunch!

Went to this cafe as it had been highly recommended to me by friends, when we arrived we had to queue so I imagined a place this popular had to be good! I ordered the big stack, it arrived about 5 minutes after ordering, the bacon was undercooked and the egg was more or less raw, with white gushing out of it. Made sense since it arrived not 5 minutes after ordering, obviously trying to get people in and out quickly. Disappointing experience!

Sat outside - the place was absolutely choc full of wasps. Toastie was beyond average. Server was terrible - had to ask for cutlery, napkins & missing side order.

Food, service and price there is absolutely no complaints. But there was too many wasps flying about so was hard to fully relax and enjoy my food, I was eager to leave because of that.

Everything was reasonable... but lots of little things made it not great It was good to finally be able to get in without a queue (up til now I've just found somewhere else, because there's been a LONG queue), I also liked having a table in the little alcove. I had Eggs Benedict, and it all looked nice and tasted good... but one egg was a little under done, the bacon had a huge amount of unsightly barely cooked rind, and considering it was Eggs Benedict there wasn't nearly enough hollandaise sauce (and it was too thick to be called sauce) All the staff were pleasant... but nobody was bothered whether everything was well with my food - once food arrived I didn't see anyone again, nobody checked if I was happy while I ate, the girl at the till just took my money and that was it. All the cakes look nice... but all the tray bakes scream the words heart attack and obesity crisis owing to their immense size. I expect I'll try another visit at some point, though as I don't live far away I'd probably not rush back

I'm coeliac and their gluten free pancakes were delicious. They have a great gluten free menu!

Love spot, found by accident, only had coffee and cake. The covered outside area was lovely, the selection was massive (the lovely young lady took the time to explain each one to our two lads). Coffee was brilliant! Price was spot on!

Lovely little cafe / restaurant. Had some outside seating which is still sheltered from the rain. Lovely coffee, scones, snacks, soup and bigger meals. Child and wheelchair friendly. There's a band concert next door on the park every Sunday from April till September I believe, and hundreds being there seats and sit to enjoy the music.

Excellent food and friendly staff highly recommend

After coming across their page on Instagram, I couldn't resist visiting this charming tea room. Upon arrival, the queue for indoor dining was overwhelming, but luckily, they offered outdoor seating which suited us just fine. We were promptly seated and excitedly placed our order. Our selections included the piri piri chicken sandwich, the coronation chicken sandwich, a portion of fries to share, pancakes with strawberries and maple syrup, and two cappuccinos—one with regular milk and one with oat milk. The sandwiches were bursting with flavor from fresh ingredients, and the pancakes were very fluffy and soft. While the coffee was enjoyable, a bolder brew would have been preferred as it felt slightly diluted. The display of tray bakes was a sight to behold, offering a tempting array of choices that had me deliberating for a good 10 minutes. In the end, I settled on the lemon meringue mini pie, lotus rocky road, and kinder blondie, all of which proved to be delightful and perfect for satisfying a sweet tooth. Staff were very friendly and attentive and the total price for everything we got came around 43 pounds. Overall, this spot is definitely worth a visit for its delectable offerings and cozy atmosphere. 💯🙌🏼

Very nice place to eat. We had are brunch outside and their is plenty of room to move around. Nice setting beside the river. The food was a little expensive, £10 for half a soda, 1 slice potato bread, 1 egg, tiny scope beans, 1 large mushroom, 1 sausage and 1 piece bacon.

Love visiting Hollie Berrie's! Staff are genuinely always so friendly and the food is always delicious. The traybakes and cakes etc - incredible.

Nice place, good food, friendly staff. Parking tight so watch out if street parking. Nice to eat outside...if the sun ever shines.

Make sure you are hungry. Buns to die for! Busy though.

I went to HollieBerrie At The Tearooms, after seeing it online plenty of times. We were lucky enough, we had not long to wait in the queue for a table. We ordered a tea and coffee, and a couple of traybakes. When I went up to the counter to pick my traybake, you were spoiled for choice. They have a massive selection of traybakes to choose from, you could pick from scones, cakes, tarts, brownies, meringues and lots of other treats. I ended up choosing the Galaxy Chunk, which was very nice. The only thing I could nitpick would be the americano. It was a bit on the small side. I think it is the smallest americano I have ever had. Especially when you are eating a big traybake, you need that extra bit of coffee to wash it down. I enjoyed my visit to HollieBerrie and I would go back. I would recommend it to anyone to call in if they are in the area.

Beautiful sunny day, cycling from Portadown to Newry and in Scarva we find this place. Delicious food, great atmosphere, worth taking a pitstop. Enjoy!!!

We recently dined at Hollie Berries, and it was a perfect experience. Despite a short wait of about 5-10 minutes due to the busy atmosphere, the wait was absolutely worth it. We started our meal with the pancake loaded with Nutella and fresh berries. The combination was heavenly, with the fluffy pancakes perfectly complemented by the rich Nutella and the topping of the berries. I had the soda stack, which included bacon, eggs, and sausages. Each element was cooked to perfection. The bacon was crispy, the egg was perfectly cooked, and the sausage was flavourful. To accompany our meal, we enjoyed a flat white and a hot chocolate. Both beverages were outstanding. The flat white was smooth and well-balanced, while the hot chocolate was rich and comforting, making for the perfect pairings with our breakfast choices. The service at Hollie Berries was commendable. Despite the busy environment, the staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring our food was served quickly and piping hot. Their efficiency and pleasant demeanor added to the overall positive experience.

Spectacular food. The potato bread was crispy and all the rest of the food reached my extremely high expectations. The service was very quick-as quick as my cousin's speedy car. The atmosphere was homely and warm with a beautiful sunlight shining thought the windows, but I was with my fat pig of a cousin who is an intense dose. (Not the one who has a speedy car.)

Amazing place. While strolling along the Newry to Portadown Tow path came across a little Gem. Beautiful setting. Staff Amazing and an arrangement of cakes. Pastries. I can Safely say Any plan you have would be in local bin. You just can't decide which dream selection you will have. Portions are Mamma's size and positively scrumptious 😋. I also brought Beautiful brown bread to take home. Setting it Beautiful inside and out. And will be our Local pit stop for future tow path walks. Highly recommend 👌

Stopped for coffee. Good place for relaxing and little snack

Food was lovely, super busy spot, had to wait 10 minutes outside but then we were seated and served super quickly

Love the breakfast yum yum in me tum.

Fantastic coffee shop, gorgeous food, lovely staff

So disappointed. Went here based on the dog friendly advertising. We were made to wait outside in the wind & rain until 1 of the 3 tables in the conservatory was finished with as 'dog friendly' doesn't relate to the whole place. Rest of cafe looked lovely & quirky. Conservatory is plain white and very cold if, like us, you are sat at the door. As for the food? Hmm! I ordered soup & a coronation chicken sandwich. Soup was nice but I got half a small tea cup. Sandwich was the worst I've ever had. Like vinegar, which makes no sense. My daughter had a breakfast type thing that was dry as the Sahara with a blooming raw egg on top. One sight of raw egg white and I'm done for. We were so disappointed as we'd heard such good things. £38 for 2 downright awful dishes was a bit much. If it had been tasty,I wouldn't care about cost, never have. Today, though, I totally begrudged tapping the old card.

The pancakes are delicious, but the accompaniments are not very good, bananas with the ends and fragments of raspberries, complementing tables dirty with bird feces and the respective ones on the tables eating.

Please alter your website opening hrs over the Easter holidays. Myself and many others arrived on Easter Tuesday, to find you closed. I checked your website before I set off on my 16 mile cycle :(

Been here a few times now and it never disappoints. Great selection of pancakes, waffles, breakfast & lunch items that you won't get at the same quality anywhere nearby! The specials tend to change regularly so if you see something you like the look of, I recommend getting it - don't rely on it being there again next time. Also, the tray bakes and pastries are top class. They don't take bookings so you can end up queuing for a while outside, but it's well worth the wait. Quite a relaxed feel inside too, they don't rush you, which I assume is to help the kitchen not get overwhelmed. Really well managed.

"We have tried to go there numerous times, but this place is never open even though it says it should be open on the door and Google"

1st time visiting but I will definitely be back, we had the sharing platter, which was beautiful, hope to visit again soon

Came today as a birthday treat for my son's birthday having travelled 20miles, he ordered kids pancakes with white chocolate sauce & strawberries, the sauce in the little pot was hard so couldnt pour much over his pancakes, i had the full fry - had to send it back as egg was completely burnt on the bottom, less than 30 seconds my plate was back with a new egg (wasnt much better - the underside overcooked & slimy/undercooked on top - im sorry i didnt take a photo) needless to say i didnt eat the egg, very disappointing when paying £9.95 for this meal! Not once did a member of staff check was everything ok despite walking past our table numerous times, when we were finished our food we were considering more tea & traybakes but again no staff came near us to see did we want anything else. Went to pay for food at the till & thought she'll ask me was everything ok & id have mentioned the issue about the second egg - but no! So disappointing as this was our second visit but it'll be our last!

What a hidden gem of a place. First time here and was not disappointed. The food was unreal. The presentation was just 10/10 and the flavours were just as good.

This place is outstanding. The food is Michelin star level. So many choices and varieties. The staff are brilliant, friendly and very helpful. The setting is also very fitting for the Tea room.

Lovely breakfast served fast and efficient

Nothing is too much trouble for the staff here Excellent advice for those with intolerances and allergies Superb menu

Unfortunately, we drove to Scarva today, checking first on line that it was open. Had two elderly ladies with me. So disappointed to find the Tea Room closed. There were others there too trying the door. I understand that people have to have time off. But please update your website with opening and closing times.

Awsome full breakfast very fast service beautifully cooked breakfast very fresh 😋

As part of the menu a delightful array of sweet treats, which are large and very very tasty 😋

The place and the service is lovely, however the food is just good, still have some wee points for improvement, like for example the French toast was not properly well done, it was soggy and not too much flavour. On the other hand, the desserts are excellent. The prices are very reasonable.

Super coffee and tray bakes twice the size of everywhere else. Phenomenal choice too. Reasonably priced for the volume you get

2 years since my last review, the place just gets better if that's possible. The chefs are fantastic as the special's choices are delicious and the regular menu options never disappoint. The wait staff are professional and try to get the tables cleaned and reset as quick as they can to cope with the queues! That's the only thing and shows how good this place is. Sitting outside is an option, but who are we kidding? unless the sun is beating down, customers will prefer to sit inside....planning permission for another sunroom?? Lol

My partner got a ‘full fry’ (which was very small) and the beans were served in the tiny pot shown in the picture! Only equates to a spoonful. He said it’s the worst fry he has ever gotten. I got the raspberry French toast and it was cold, stale and bland…the French toast seemed to have been made in advance and had been sitting for a few days. The mascarpone ontop was the only bit with flavour and made the dish edible. The coffee was nice and staff were quick to take order etc. But we were never asked how our food was, otherwise I would have mentioned some of these points. Defo style over substance and I won’t be returning

We were shopping in portadown and decided to drive over for my wife likes there food .when we got there sorry hot food is over...tea and tray bakes only..they didn't say that on the menu..I won't be back ...

Lovely cafe with a huge selection of traybakes and other sweet treats

Great tea room and food fantastic - highly recommend the pancakes - beautiful.

A busy spot Staff did there best Breakfast was nice Little bit of a queue outside but nothing major . Would go again

Fantastic breakfasts, great coffees and cakes. It was the fanciest fry up we had all week when touring around and the pancake stacks were delicious. There are gluten and dairy free options for breakfast - they had no problem with allergies and so helpful. Charming place, bright and light inside or the option of sitting outside on a nice day. They have a separate seating area so you can bring your dogs with you. Lovely location next to the canal.

Limited parking in the car park but usually on street parking is fine. Tasty food and great coffee. Plenty of outdoor seating for good days. Nearby canal walks. Usually a busy place.

First time here with family. We had to wait to be seated but didn't mind. The meal was well worth the wait. Staff were very efficient and friendly.

Lovely setting staff so friendly speedy service

I will start with the positives that the food was beautiful and the staff were nice just the set up let everything down the 30 min wait to get in the building was not great especially when there was a shower of rain. It would be helpful to have a rough estimate of wait time. Once inside and seated the service was quick professional and friendly, the staff were exceptional and where not the let down as the set up of a cafe is down to who runs it. Also there was a line of dirt down the teapot initially I thought it was stain until I made scratches on it with my nail

Sat outside to grab a coffee and traybake, very nice food and coffee. Defo will be calling in again.

Great location to stop to rest the legs on towpath from Portadown to Newry. Buns are enormous and coffee hit the spot.

Had a lovely lunch food was outstanding and staff so friendly ❤️

Something savioury or something sweet. You won't be disappointed when dining here. Excellent food and very helpful and friendly staff

Pit stop out of a beautiful walk

Heerlijk koffie met nog lekkerder Taart, cake en nog meer lekkers

Lovely place for meals . Food delicious and tasty. Highly recommend.

Very busy, seats outside available.

I used to come here a lot on Sundays before they stopped serving food on Sundays. I rang to check and they said they stop serving food at 3 so I got there at 2:40 after work. No one came out as I stood outside until 3:05 and they said they’re not serving food anymore so we ended up having to go else where. The food here is really nice and if you get to have it I recommend it, but it feels understaffed. There should be a few smaller tables outside so huge tables aren’t taken by 1 or 2 people.

Worth the short drive out to scarva when in Banbridge , you'll not be disappointed

Amazing food. Excellent service. Absolutely love this place . Breakfast lunch or just a cake this is the place to go. 100% rating on all aspects .

Lovely tranquil spot for lunch.... no wonder it's so popular

My husband and I had scones and a traybake and tea

This is a very popular, trendy venue in Scarva and they have an ever changing menu of specials that can be checked out on their social media. I've had brunch there a couple of times. They have a conservatory area which is accessible as dog friendly, or their outdoor seating is dog friendly. I've not eaten from any of their main menus, I have only had various brunch specials, and they were fantastic. They also have an amazing array of cakes and tray bakes that can be boxed for takeaway along with a coffee. Their location just next to the canal/cycle route is optimal for people to be able to stop off for a quick pick me up!

Lovely food, nice staff and beautiful place

Fantastic food. Ideal for brunch.

Visited a few times now and have no complaints. Food is great, staff are friendly and it is a lovely place in general, would recommend it

Fantastic eaterie, tea room in Scarva. The food is sumptuous and the outdoor area is magnificent on a fresh hungry day. Lots of choice and plenty of decadent pastries with coffee and cream. Popular and vibrant,chic and chilled. Fabulous, tasty food and friendly faces a lovely wee oasis in Scarva.

Service excellent staff friendly grub good

You need at least 2 hours to dine here. At least an hour to wait outside on a table. Once you do get in, staff young and very unfriendly. Food average.

We went on a cold January Sunday which means that the indoor tea room is closed & everything is operated from the horsebox trailer and seating is at picnic tables in the courtyard that is covered by a large canopy. We simply had tea but the staff were friendly & it was busy considering it was so cold.

Excellent service amazing food 💖

HollieBerrie at the Tea Rooms provided the perfect lunch. Each of us had trouble choosing from the menu because there were so many good options! We were all delighted with our food and very pleased with the service. Will definitely be back!

Food ok service very very slow .very dear

The food in Hollie Berrie is unreal! They are always very busy, no matter what time you get there, so that says it all. Definitely recommend :)

A lovely cafe serving great food and cakes.

Having cycled 20 kms from Newry my son and I had built up a good appetite and needed something to eat in Scarva before our return journey. It was so disappointing to order food and then find that they bluntly would not accept euro cash. I had forgotten my debit cards so the order was cancelled. Every coffee shop in the South will accept Sterling cash at their set rate. Why is this common sense arrangement not reciprocated in this establishment? Very unwelcoming for tourists.

we had the nicest food ever tasted and the staff were just great! very reasonably priced, can’t fault it in anyway. highly recommend anyone tries here.

Beautiful food. It's been hard to find such delicious food since moving from Belfast and this place is now a favourite after 4 years of searching. Thankyou!

Tea an tart what could be better. Hit the spot 😋 👌

Delicious food. My favourite coffee shop.

Beautiful location, excellent service, delicious food and dog friendly! A brilliant experience and one I'll repeat next time I'm in Northern Ireland.

Nice tea and coffee outside. Enjoyed it. The young waitresses were very helpful and pleasant.

So good went with my daughter znd grandchildren, we had to queue to get in it that popular, but worth it. Service excellent food to die for and reasonably priced deffo would recommend

We had a beautiful afternoon here sitting outside after a walk. Amazing slices and the staff were so lovely!

Delicious breakfasts. In a prime stop-off location for cyclists and walkers down the towpath. Service is very efficient. Indoor and outdoor seating as weather permits. The rows of tray bakes and cakes often prompt me to make an additional purchase when paying for my meal!

Brilliant service.lovely food.large servings

Was not impressed Big que outside people hugging tables after they had their food. Just went to Gilberry fayre and it was great

Fantastic selection of Buns, Biscuits, Cakes and Pies. Really good cup of coffee. All at reasonable prices within a very clean, bright, spacious and comfy Tea Rooms. You also have the option to sit outside in a lovely alfresco area. Will deffo be back again. 10/10

Good food, the tray bakes looked amazing but resisted the urge. It's a great spot to sit outside, lots of flowers and just nice scenery. All the staff were friendly.

Absolutely gorgeous food amazing. Thanks for hospitality.

Stood in the rain for 20 mins outside with other disgruntled customers even though tables were available as numerous people had left Doesn't seem to be a set person organising seating. When I got in I was shown to a sofa with a shin high table to sit at I can only assume because I was in my own and didn't warrant a table lol. Waited 10 mins then decided to leave. Beautiful setting and food looks great so I will go back and try again with company so I can get a proper table but service issues seem to be a common enough theme in other reviews.

The weather makes everything look good ! Perfect spot to go if you want to eat outside , and lots of dogs 🐕 . Lunch looked good , cakes very rich . Coffee ☕️ excellent. But you could do with more staff to clear tables and serve . Staff very nice .

Beautiful setting! Excellent food. Friendly service. Just queing in the rain was not my idea of fun. We almost left because of the waiting time, but pleased we didn't. Worth the wait.

Brilliant customer service and lovely food.

Amazing food would highly recommend. Will definitely be back ❤

Fantastic food and good service.

Very nice after a wee walk along the canal a pot of 🍵 tea 🫖and try bake🍰🎂🍪🍩a wee gem in scarva

Excellent food pastries are a must to bring home.staff could be bit more friendly.
