great spot for a private paarty. All the staff were very helpful setting up the room for our party. Bar staff were great and the buffet food was plentiful and hot, the DJ hit all the right music for our age group and a great time was had by all. No hesitation recommending this place.

I have been here quite a few times for function dinners and I have never been disappointed with the meals or the service. Every meal has been delicious, well presented and hot. Not like a lot of other places with functions where its just slapped down in front of you. Meals are flavoursome and plentiful. Always look forward to an annual Christmas Dinner here because I know I'm going to enjoy it. Staff are friendly, place is always clean and tidy. Definitely recommend a visit!! Keep up the good work!

Estaba aquí para una cena de cumpleaños con la familia. Turquía y relleno y pidió un gran pelo negro encontrado en mi relleno. Le dije a la camarera, ella dijo que lo decirle, (quien ella es) no se disculparon por la camarera y cuando la ley fue presentada ninguna mención del pelo y otra vez ofrecieron ninguna disculpa. No hay descuento y el precio completo fue cargado en la factura. No volveré.

Sorry but just read the review's. Food,staff, locations and taste all first class.But people think it's a rugby club. NO, go past the bar which bye the is fine! to the next room or go in bye the main door of the restaurant down the side of the bar and feel the welcome and pick your first class meal. With-in reason if you don't see it ask. Janet or Alan will help,plus the good staff. But the food IS real good. Enjoy (I know U will)😉

My husband and I went here on the back of good reports from friends who had already visited The Albany. We were not disappointed. The staff were friendly and helpful from the get go. The food was delicious. If you are looking for good home cooked food and plenty of it this is the place to go. We had stuffed potato skins for starters and one portion was enough for two. Our main course was Sizzling Chicken with pepper sauce and my husband had the Sizzling Pork. Included in the price were two side dishes. We were so stuffed we couldn't eat desert, which by the way sounded lovely. Maybe next time and there will be a next time. Price wise it was very reasonable, starter two main meals, two beer and a soda water and lime all for £31.00. So all in all a very enjoyable meal at a great price I look forward to going again.

My wife and I had Sunday dinner here and what a nice surprise. We rang earlier in the day to book as it can get busy. This restaurant sits within Carrickfergus Rugby Club, and as we hadn't visited it before we didn't really known what to expect, was it going to be full of Club members, visitors watching a game, noisy etc.... but no, the Albany sits towards the rear of the main entrance through the bar in a quiet location. Upon entry we were greeted rather informally by a waitress who mentioned that as the busy period was over, we could avail of any table that was unoccupied. As we sat down I noticed the "Sunday special" menu upon the table and so we had a look at what was on offer. A " 3 course meal" for £15 per person is really excellent value, so we both made our selections from this menu and ordered some drinks. My wife had Vegetable Soup (starter) and Turkey & Ham with Stuffing and all the trimmings (Mains), I had Goats Cheese Tart (starter) and likewise same "mains" as my wife. The food was well presented, HOT and "plentiful". When it came to the Puddings, my wife declined as she said there was "no room" to be had for it, she was fully satisfied with all she had. I on the other hand had "Banoffee pie" with Ice Cream but could only manage to eat "half" of a rather plentiful plate. All in all a rather nice experience in an "informal" setting with good food, excellent staff. Well worth a visit.

What can I say about the Albany that hasn't been already said, food was first class, service first class, and the staff first class. If ever in Carrickfergus seek out this hidden gem you won't be disappointed.

Carrick has been crying out for a large fry that is decent. Here you can either sit in the bar or the restaurant and enjoy a great meal at a reasonable price. I highly recommend trying here for yourself

Hadn't been through Carrickfergus in a few months, had visited this cafe before last year and needed a bite to eat. I noticed there has been a change of staff from my previous visit and I must say they were fantastic, very helpful and pleasant. Slightly changed menu and presentation also, very helpful. Really enjoyed my meal, well presented and tasted so nice. Also the bar code for doing reviews, grt idea. I found out that this cafe is a social enterprise offering adults with learning disabilities paid and voluntary work placements alongside abled bodied staff-brilliant example of integration and equality. I really enjoyed the interaction with all the staff.

Lovely shop and coffee shop. They do a nice French toast bacon and maple syrup and my favourite being the bagel and cheese. Coffee is good and the shop is nice for a little browse especially if you are looking for a wee gift.

Peppered chicken goujons on mash with peppercorn sauce. This was just delish. Crispy coating, crispy onions. Mash was very good indeed, if a bit cool. Served with spring onions stirred in. Mild peppercorn sauce. It is not easy to serve good mash, and this was. Well done and thank you.
