Olderfleet Bar & Restaurant in Larne

Absolutely fabulous food and service will be back

Great atmosphere, staff, food and drinks

Had lunch today. Decided on one of the specials (pork belly with mash and veg). Asked the server if there were any seasonings on it and was told it was plain. Got the food (pork belly presented as a circle), and the internal part of the meat was lovely. Unfortunately, the outer part was studded with whole peppercorns, and these were then through the mash potato as well. While some consider pepper normal seasoning, this belly pork was infused with it and not what I'd consider plain - I'd have asked for no pepper if I had known. Said to the server who was not very sympathetic and told it was 'usual seasoning'. The food was ok, but I hate that I paid 14.50 for a meal I couldn't finish and couldnt eat the best bit of the pork :( I will be giving it a miss in the future.

Food good, staff are friendly and attentive

The new food menu is amazing! Followed up by spectacular service from Paula as always :)

The food and service were fantastic. I don't believe I could say anything negative about the place. We left happy and well fed. 👍

Fantastic fodd and fantastic service at a great price, worth a visit if you're in the area.

Myself and two friends ate here on Saturday 14th September 2024. The food was delicious, and we all agreed the best we had had anywhere in a long time. After eating, we went to the outside area for drinks, and we stayed there all evening. We all enjoyed ourselves and look forward to dining/drinking here in the near future

steak sandwich full of fat chips soggy disappointing today usually food good

Such a wonderful gem! We were visiting Larne and happened upon this fabulous establishment. Food was superb, drinks were fresh and flowing, the dessert was to die for (you must try the ginger cake). The staff could not have been more kind or welcoming! The customers there were all happy and enjoying fabulous meals. The building itself was the cutest, very clean, and well maintained. It could not have been a more enjoyable evening! If we lived in Northern Ireland I would be here weekly! What a gem!! You must check it out!!

We stayed in Larne for a wedding up the road. I knew unfortunately there would maybe be slim pickings in such a small port town, that is sadly the nature of these places. Though not to take away from the very friendly locals we encountered on the sea front !! We really enjoyed this spot. Lovely welcoming staff, A great Guinness & Irish Mule for drinks. Genuinely one of the finest Scallop dishes I've had in a long time. Highley recommend if your in the area. Great place.

As a tourist I came to this pub recommended by my hoster.We arrived fifteen minutes before nine in a Thursday( 05/09) and were informed the kitchen was already closed. We ordered drinks in the bar and due the lack of food ordered a pizza from another place. We weren't allowed to eat inside as were informed by the staff that the boss wouldn't be happy with the situation. (I don't really care if you can not provide food). Another point: they closed at 10:00 when the official site says 11:00. No more drinks to us! The guys in the bar were nice but in my viewpoint disrespectful with customers needs and expectations. Hope they change it as the pub itself is very nice and beautiful spot, but we wouldn't comeback anymore.

Absolutely appalling service and food. 5 adults meals. Drinks order mixed up was start of it. Over charged. Over charged an extra meal !!! Service awful when we said about it. We were polite ! The steak meals were cold and steak raw in the middle. No sauce which should of came with steak. When I said about steak guy in stripey shirt who looked like he just couldn't be bothered took steak and came out with another meal . We all didnt get eating our meals together.infact husband had to eat his on his own. We were going to order more drinks but waitress were so disrespectful and igorant we didnt bother. Again we were polite even tho service was a disgraced.Alot of money was spent.. ! and it was a total waste of money ! We will never set foot in Olderfleet again and warn others to AVOID. Sunday 25 August. We went to Chekkers Wine Bar and service and food were on a higher level. 100% top quality food and service. I have to say I wasn't sure to go there but so pleasantly surprised. Spend your hard earned money in Chekkers and you won't be disappointed !!!

First time here but we will be back. Food and cocktails were awesome

Birthday dinner was gorgeous. Staff really nice.

Fantastic place, was reluctant to go, no mention of GF on menu but stopped in on the way home from the causeway, fantastic GF selection, staff knew there stuff, a beautiful pub highly recommended if yr passing threw or waiting for a ferry

Fantastic food and lovely lovely staff

A friendly restaurant with decent food and not overly expensive.

Expanded the floor space since the last time we were there. Great food, service excellent and a nice busy environment!

I would never have expected to find what is now my favourite pub in a dock! But tucked away in a side street of Larne Docks is the wonderful Olderfleet. Gorgeous garden, a beautiful bar and restaurant and fabulous food. A lot of thought must have gone into designing the garden and pub interior. Everything flows beautifully and is very comfortable. The food was exceptional. We enjoyed moules mariniére, chowder, traditional roast beef followed by rhubarb crème brûlée. All very reasonably priced as were the cocktails and speciality cider. Last, but by no means least, the staff were friendly, helpful and attentive. Big thanks to them all, especially Paula who made us feel so welcome.

Caesar salad supposedly the signature of this restaurant ... chicken meat barely warm, supposedly grilled ... looked to me like it was ready from Musgrave ... croutons so hard you could break your teeth .. everything covered with a lot of mayonnaise Chicken curry ok …

Had a meal here this evening. Paula our waitress was really friendly, welcoming and very helpful. Food was delicious. Would highly recommend coming here.

Me and a pal over from England. This place is a gem! Travelled back from Belfast on the last day just to enjoy a meal here. Lamb shank was the biggest and best I have ever had and the attention to detail was flawless. Service great, prices reasonable and facilities spotless. It's a friendly must visit.

Lovely decorated place, had an amazing server and great food

As a vegan I was pleasantly surprised. The food was amazing. Great surroundings and a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely visit again.

Great food at a bar convenient to Larne ferry terminal.

I'd heard great things about this place so decided to give it a try. It is indeed excellent. The menu is varied yet not too large (a good thing in my opinion). I enjoyed the Sirloin Steak and the Raspberry and Lemon Roulade. The staff are very friendly and down to earth. Prices are very much what you'd expect today, very reasonable. Very close to the harbour yet also easy to find. Loved it! Even on a Monday night it was pretty busy, which was great to see. I can't wait to return. Highly recommended!

Relaxed and friendly. Reasonably priced. Will visit again

Absolutely beautiful food and cocktails, we both had a lunchtime special and at £12.95 each and we defo can't complain, plus we were allowed to change the side that came with them at no extra cost. The cod was cooked perfectly and the breadcrumb on it was night and light, the sweet potato fries were cooked to perfection, nice and crispy. The hubby thoroughly enjoyed his turkey and ham, although a little more gravy would have been good. My cocktails were delicious and I loved the novelty of candy floss on top! All staff were very friendly and helpful, we will definitely return as I had no room for dessert this time lol. The toilets are very clean and tidy and I had a nosey out at the beer garden in the back and it was huge and looked lovely!! Wee gem of a place for sure.

Delicious food. Tasty beers and super fun. The blonde waitress was a sweetheart

Super food and service, would recommend and go again.

Family birthday celebration, we were made to feel welcome immediately, service was prompt, and the food cooked perfectly, yo each person's taste. Staff were attentive, and friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. A very enjoyable evening indeed.

Very good restaurant, good seafood dishes and good desserts. I highly recommend. Decent prices.

Delicious food and friendly service, look forward to returning.😊

Delicious food. Highly recommended. Unfortunately, the daily menu with sea bass had run out, but the chef made a great alternative.

Stunning food and very reasonable prices. Service was efficient. We were not rushed and felt very relaxed. A must for ferry users. 👌👌👌👌

Great atmosphere on a Saturday night. Staff very helpful at finding us a table despite not having a reservation

Looking for quiet pub, but quite a mixed venue with football, families and lively conversation. Quickly welcomed, the food was slower, but worth the wait, really good.

1st time here since refurbishment. OMG it's fantastic decor really superb. Food was delicious seafood chowder 😋 strawberry daiquiri yum what have I been missing living in Larne better than some top notch places in Belfast. I really highly recommend will definitely be back ❤️

Great for food, love the place but definitely not the place to watch the football. "Not allowed to put the sound on" for the match even though we were the only people in! Why have 3 screens showing it in silence?! If you want to run a library get some books 😉

Great food, good price and perfect service. Keep up the good work!

Delicious food, accompanied by a nice beer.

Stopped for an impromptu lunch in the new outdoor garden area as we had our dog with us. The waitress was lovely to us and our dog, the environment was great and the food excellent. We'll be back

I didn't like this place! They brought black fried potatoes to a child, this is no longer respect for the client! I won’t go again and I don’t recommend it!

Absolutely an amazing spot in Larne… place is amazing so modern and clean… Food and especially the cocktails were absolutely amazing… Defo my new local… Would definitely recommend The Olderfleet..

First time in the Olderfleet. Whilst it's position at the docks may not be very salubrious, both the outside and inside of the premises are nicely finished. It has a nice welcoming atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was excellent, I would be fussy about food especially Chowder. The large chowder I had was Very good, full of good quality seafood and very tasty. My wife's Thai curry was also very nice. All in all I would heartily recommend it and will return soon 😁

Great spot, if a little out of the way. The bar and beer garden have been beautifully done. Great choice of beer and food. Reasonably priced and very friendly staff. The beer garden is also. Extremely dog friendly

Absolutely smashing bar and food. Will be back again soon.

The service is shocking! - I keep going back to the olderfleet every now & then for drinks (no food) and each time without fail, the service is woeful. There simply isn't enough staff! Waiting 20 - 30 mins each time you want a drink is bizarre and this is the same story every time. How can they not get this basic thing right? Safe to say, I'll not be back any time soon. It's just not worth the frustration.

Honestly, I can not say enough good things about this restaurant. We’re from California and consider ourselves foodies. We visited Olderfleet our first night and never made it anywhere else for dinner. 4 dinners back to back until we left for Cork county. We dream of this place. Fantastic food, people and atmosphere.

Place could have been rated so much higher but for some appalling service. We arrived at 4:05pm, as we had a dog we intended to sit outside. We asked about food being served outside, and were told it wouldn't start for another 15 minutes, no problem, ordered a couple of drinks and waited. Just as it comes 4:20pm we see someone served food across from us.....we go in to order. Food comes around 4:35, we finish eating about 4:50. We decide we'll have a couple of desserts...went in to order. The woman who brought our food sees me and asks if I've a table booked???? I say, we've just finished our mains and wanted to add desserts..."no, we're not serving food outside anymore" So there's a 30 minute window to get all your food in apparently.....4:20pm to sometime just 4:50pm. What a weird set up. Food was quite nice. I ordered the surf an turf. Asked for medium steak got well done, this is pretty poor from the chef. Not one bit of pink in the middle. Lobster was nice and liked the crayfish sprinkled over.

Highly recommend..... Service, staff and food brill!!

Had a lovely meal today, food was excellent. I am not a fan of carrots but whatever chef did with grated carrot was a game changer. Clean plates all round, will Def be back

Good value for money. Good food, friendly service.

Beautiful space, an indoor pub and a large room on the garden side with a stove so you don't get cold. I loved the different atmospheres. We ate there. The meal was good. Nice people. It's friendly and warm. The service is top notch.

Great wee bar/ food stop off from ferry or just pop in locally

Had a nice steak that was reasonably priced on Wednesday steak night

Loved it! First time visiting & will be back! Staff very friendly & the food amazing!

I ordered the seafood chowder , the portion was very small for the large portion & had a lot of mustard in the sauce. I mentioned to 2 servers but they didn’t say anything just looked as if I had 2 heads ! Bar lady with glasses was very unfriendly. I won’t be rushing back anytime soon.

Great experience all round. We had the chowder and was delicious. Our son had the fried chicken and as he could not eat it all, we tried it, very good too. Has a inviting atmosphere and well presented.

Tasty food, good presentation of the food and nice atmosphere.

Beautiful pub/diner just outside the pier or larne and the bar staff are soo helpful and lovely - highly recommend…. Even let us in the back terrace with our wee pooch 🐾

Lovely all round! Would highly recommend!

Lovely pub/ restaurant. Food is amazing

Great place to eat, friendly staff and food was delicious

Great food and service as always.

Lovely spot for a meal. The food was excellent and the staff were welcoming and friendly. The only negative I could say was that the dessert took a long time coming. It didn't spoil the meal and had it not been just so long I wouldn't have mentioned it. We'll be back because there's an interesting menu to explore.

Great place with great food and staff. a great place to have a pint and a bite to eat while watching the game. Family friendly

We love it here. Book it! As it is a popular spot now. Food is delicious and service friendly.

Very welcoming staff very professional food fantastic tapas Tuesday a must ! Thankyou so much xx

Great food , lovely pint and so cheap. Being from England £4.70 for a lovely Guiness is amazing as I pay £7

Was there for lunch on new year's eve with family. Would love to go back in the summer.

First time visiting, has a tapas specialty night. Everything was delicious. Large servings for tapas, but I regret not ordering more. Very fair pricing and lovely staff. Already looking forward to our next visit.

Honestly best food I've had in a long time. Chef deserves a raise. Place was stunning very smart but also very welcoming. Staff were very friendly. Perfect for a nice meal before a ferry trip.

Great to see out up and running again

What a lovely surprise. The fish and chips was amazing but it was surpassed by my husband’s seafood chowder. It was the best we have tasted anywhere in the world. Kudos and compliments to the chef.

Food is very good; teriyaki salmon on point. Decor is great, staff is ver friendly.

Excellent chips daube beef and kentucky chicken, good service v friendly great cocktails tandoori sea bass fantastic great Xmas lights decorations wonderful tree in out door space pulled roof over made it very cosy with DJ playing the best of tunes, dancing an a good ole xmas eve boogie well done Olderfleet staff, great bunch.

I am over from England and when I lived here it was only a pub but I was amazed how lovely it is now and I really enjoyed my meal when I come.over again I will certainly call again many thanks for you service Anita

Eaten here quire a few times. Really nice food, in this friendly bar. Their menu changes regularly, it can be hard to choose, everything on the menu sounds lovely.

Been calling here for a long time whilst waiting for my ferry. Never had a bad meal, Never failed to get a conversation, staff are efficient but not overbearing . Believe this bar is family run, has a great atmosphere.

The atmosphere was captivating. I love it.

Best seafood chowder! So delicious!! Also very nice and friendly staff, thank you!

It's been a long time since I was at the Olderfleet. Not since it's all been refurbished. All I can say is, WOW. It's absolutely gorgeous. Done up to such a high standard. The staff are extremely friendly & have a wee bit of banter with you. Nice wee choice of meals - nothing left on our plates. Good sized portions. Total enjoyment & I will be back again. Soon, this time

I couldn’t rave more about and I highly recommend Olderfleet! It was a late booking for a large group of 20 people. Stacey dealt with my phone calls and email bookings, she was beyond helpful , understanding and very accommodating. We preordered our meals before our arrival , and everything came out exactly right. Between the 20 of us I think we ordered at least one of everything on the menu, without one single complaint. Everyone loved what they had ordered, commented on its quality, tastiness and quantity. The waiting staff were busy , but never left us sitting for long without bringing the next serving or replenishing our drinks. Even apologised for their lack of service (which believe me there was none, they were all fabulous). It was my first time visiting Olderfleet bar restaurant, but it most definitely won’t be my last. I’ll be recommending it to everyone I speak to. Sorry food didn’t sit long enough for photos 🫣😂. Thanks again!!

Visiting family in larne had a wonderful meal great chowder. Very attentive staff. Would recommend will be Visiting again next time in larne

Love this place, we've eaten here on a couple of occasions passing through. Food is excellent. Staff are really friendly, in particular Paula. Highly recommend it and we will definitely be back.

Excellent friendly and helpful staff. The food is incredible. All three of us cleared our plates. I am vegetarian, and my risotto tonight was the best I've ever had. Butternut squash with kale and feta on top. It was brilliant. I will visit again.

I have ate here twice in the last couple of weeks and have been more than happy with the service and the food. The staff are fantastic and very accommodating! Would definitely recommend this venue.

Delicious food, varied menu. Friendly staff. Adequate Free Car Parking for Patrons of Olderfleet Bar & Lounge, to left of the building. Ideal venue for catch-up lunches etc. Or larger get togethers.

Lovely to see in the "new" Olderfleet , great Christmas dinner , excellent portions and relaxed atmosphere ! Very friendly staff! Another visit for dinner today (March) and the food was excellent yet again !

we were told about this place by the landlady of our overnight accommodation ,and sure was a good recommendation ,great battered fish, and chips , the staff are brilliant , we shall certainly return again ,,

Hidden gem, food was fantastic recommend the chicken burger.

Well worth the trip. Sirloin steak is great. Pint of Harp.... brilliant. Great Irish pub grub . Dirty chips has great jalapenos

5* vodka, Tony was class and great acoustics in the bathrooms

My dinner was absolutely freezing not particularly good

Superb cuisine, very well cooked fish, very fine. The risotto was perfect and the chicken burger was very tasty. And the service was very pleasant. I recommend this address.

Food excellent, friendly staff, warm atmosphere

Excellent food in a very pleasant environment. I had the whitebait starter and seafood main and they were delicious
