The Bothy Cafe in Moyle

Really tasty menu choices. We had the smokey Joe toasties with extra chips. Sausage on the side for the dog ( allowed at the back patio area). I had wanted the halloumi sourdough but that’s a breakfast choice ( we were there for lunch) so we’ll be back! Great friendly service once ordered and paid at the till. Cakes for pudding which were delicious. Fab atmosphere and although really busy felt spacious and plenty room. Definitely worth a visit.

Landed the ship just outside the bay, disguised and hidden I made my way to the local cafe for supplies and sustenance. Staff were extremely friendly, knowledgeable in their food nutrition for my little colleague who’s dairy free. Very surprised at the latte art which was made using oat milk, no easy feat. Food was delicious and fulfilling, atmosphere was calming despite the chaotic parking outside.

Our first visit to Bothy. We actually tried to get into the cafe at Ballintoy Harbour but couldn’t get parked, so we noticed Bothy and lots of cars there - after all, a busy place means it is good! So glad we went. We were up North Coast for 3 days and visited here twice. First time we just had cuppa and traybakes. One was strawberry shortcake and other snickers slice. Wow, so good! Today we visited before heading home and had soup. It was the tastiest soup I’ve had - sweet potato and red pepper. And we shared a rhubarb shortcake. Delicious!

Our vintage club based in Coleraine thought it would be nice to have a run to the Bothy, Whitepark Bay for a pizza night and would give them advanced notice. So two weeks ago (3rd July) I rang to book and ended up speaking to Holly who said she was the manager. She explained that that there was already a party of thirty booked in but they could should be able to accommodate us. I suggested that she pencil us in and she agreed. Then she said "Oh, I'll just book you in now". I said That's great and she replied "That's you booked in!". So you can imagine my surprise when twelve of us turned up and the young waitress told us that we were not booked! I asked to speak to Holly but although she was there she did not appear. Instead some nasty little man who said he was the owner, came out and said that I had not confirmed. I explained that I had confirmed with Holly two weeks ago, but all he could say was that people make mistakes. I told him that it was not our mistake because I had rang Holly from our Chairman's office and he had heard the whole conversation. There was no apology, they were neither helpful or accommodating, Holly needs to get her act together and the owner needs to get some people skills.

Went for poached eggs and avocado on sourdough bread and chicken goujons in brioche bap- both were every bit as good as they looked. Very busy cafe but no problem getting a seat- also dog friendly

Busy on a Bank Holiday, but the wait was worthwhile. There’s an attractive casual seating area at the back, and our breakfasts were excellent. Bothy soda for me, excellent combo of bacon, cheese, egg; granola that looked inviting for my companion.

I visited this morning and explained my food allergies. I was advised that there could no guarantee of food free from my allergens. I then asked if the chef could ensure that utensils used to prepare my food had not touched anything else, as one would expect from a kitchen of good standard. When I was being given my take-away food I was told off for upsetting the chef who works really hard.So shocked and upset that I didn’t even notice my coffee had milk in it, despite me saying ‘no thank you’ twice. Rest assured Bothy will not be getting any more of my hard earned cash.

You know the way a bacon butty is just hit n miss...it can be made up of pale thick fatty poor quality bacon...no such thing here! Brioche bun was fresh and sweet and perfectly complemented with pile of smoky high quality rashers. Their little pot of homemade chutney was the perfect addition. The food here is quite simply what food should be. They deserve every success and to continue to be supported from far and wide....oh and do NOT leave without their signature cinnamon buns...PHENOMENAL!!

Bacon Brioche, sourdough Bacon Toast and coffee perfect after a walk on Whitepark Bay The standard of food and service excellent

We visit here quite often and it has become our favourite cafe on the north coast. We had food in it the for the first time and we were blowed away by the flavours and the portion sizes. 10/10 would recommend that you visit here even for a coffee

Regardless if how good the offer is, it is inexcusable for not a single staff member wearing either a mask or a shield when serving on the floor. Won't be back.

Called in for breakfast and was really looking forward to it however the only option of egg is poached which I personally don’t like. I asked if I could get scrambled eggs and was looked at blankly and told there was no other option than poached. My husband got the poached eggs and when you only offer that option they need to be on point. They weren’t. They both were hard in the middle.maybe instead of trying to offer something you aren’t perfecting try and offer a couple of options. Won’t be back....there are just as nice places in Bushmills who are much more flexible in the offerings and put the customer first.

Fantastic breakfast here after we passed the bothy numerous times and it always looked popular. Very good social distancing measures and lovely comfy seating in a nice environment. Pancakes were delicious and the cakes looked fantastic too. There’s an interesting outdoor seating area with outdoor pizza oven which looked great for a good day too.

Went to The Bothy for a family meal, fantastic little place, great staff and really unusual pizza, curry based, great service an absolute joy to eat in

It is always busy and that tells you most things. The coffee is good, the cakes are excellent (go early so as not to miss out) and the staff are very helpful. If you are visiting the North Coast do factor in a wee trip to the Bothy for Coffee or just a wee treat.

Enjoyed a really nice breakfast here post lockdown.They have a good system in place for distancing and staff well aware of system.Breakfasts were really good quality and good quantity.Serving staff very friendly, reception a bit cold which wasn't great.Really good location between Bushmills and white Park Bay.

Delicious food, very pleasant staff, and excellent care for their customers being displayed in these uncertain days.

Great Service... Good food! Visited on recommendation and did not disappoint. Will return again soon.

What a fabulous find on a rainy day, so fresh with friendly staff and fabulous quirky location. Pizza BBQ best ever. Chicken Caesar’s fantastic.

We just hit the jackpot with our wee trip to the Bothy. The coffee was great, the buns were yummy and the surroundings, even on a bleak Storm Dennis weekend, was cosy and charming. Definitely a wee gem Loved the attached enclosed dog-friendly space, the fairy lights at the back (presumably fir the smokers) and the inner bit with sofas, comfy chairs and the standard (lovely) tables Sometging fur everyone

This review is about coffee. Not cakes or bakes, just coffee. I love coffee and there's an awful lot of horrid coffee out there. They roast their own at the Bothy, which shows proper dedication to the product. I enjoyed the cup I drank there, so I bought some beans to take home. The coffee is absolutely great for home consumption too! If you like good coffee, you'll need to buy some here. Satisfaction guaranteed.

One of my fav's and not just cause I got married here!!! Such a cosy spot especially in winter when the fire is lit, but equally in the summer months sitting out the back, surrounded by plants and quirky seating. Great wee spot loved by tourists travelling between the Giants Causeway and Ballintoy, and also locals. Favorites are a London dog, and pizzas!!

Completely inflexible with food allergies and intolerances as other reviewers have identified. Not interested in helping in any way at all - wouldn’t even prepare a salad with cheddar cheese as apposed to goats cheese, which you have to admit isn’t to everyone’s liking. Said all meals were pre made and couldn’t be altered - a salad? Place wasn’t busy, maybe only 1/3 tables taken. For bakers, the bread wasn’t anything special at all, far better down the road at Ursa Minor who do provide beautiful fresh hand cut sour dough and daily fresh ingredients, willing to accommodate customers with dietary problems as a matter of course. A few packets of bought-in tray bakes, that are sold everywhere else, and in a cafe owned by bakers, doesn’t really cut it. No effort whatsoever. The attitude of staff, who couldn’t care less, would leave me to say, don’t bother going. Over rated, over priced, inflexible and unfriendly. Nice views though, if you can put up with the rest and as other reviewers have stated, you don’t have a dietary issue, request or preference.

This is an excellent place to stop off in whilst visiting the north coast. Great choice of food and super friendly staff

I stopped into this lovely, quirky, cosy cafe while traveling the northern coast on a bitterly cold day. The fire was on, lovely atmosphere and the staff were very friendly. Coffee is good, lovely sweet treats and gluten free options. Well worth the visit!

Have driven past this coffee shop on numerous occasions but never stopped. Called in on Thursday. We had 2 lovely cups of coffee and some pastry.The choice of pastry was very good. The 2 girls who were working were both very pleasant. We will definitely call again,

Passing so decided to drop in for a coffee. Sat out in the back seating area which is completely open to farmland behind and so when no one is around, rodents and insects can easily access this area. It's also used for cooking pizzas with some external fridge freezers for storage. Staff had food on the floor as they were loading it into the freezers (I thought all bread was fresh but apparently not, it's all frozen) and thought there was absolutely nothing wrong with that, clearly an environmental health issue. Looked around and generally felt the whole place was quite grotty, no clean surfaces anywhere. Staff looked unkempt and didn't really seem to care, they were more interested in chatting to their friends than serving customers, some looked like they'd just pulled themselves from bed. Possibly the worst experience was when I visited the toilet (see photos) on the way out and was horrified - if anyone, including children, touched any of the surfaces they would stand a high chance of becoming very ill. Old wet tissues behind the sink covered in mould which must have been there for days. I don't think the staff have a separate toilet, no hand-wash in either toilet so I'm guessing staff aren't washing their hands after using the toilets, customers definitely aren't able to. I had to leave without being able to use the facilities. Struck me, if this is what they're happy for the public to see, what on earth are the kitchens like? It was a quieter day, mid morning, mid week, so no excuse for it.

We actually ate here twice we enjoyed it so much. First time I had a cinnamon bun and coffee, delicious Second time I had one of their sandwiches which was also lovely. Definitely well worth a visit.

This is one of my favourite places on the North Coast. Great quirky decor with really good food. Coffee is ground and roasted on site and is superb. Cakes and tray bakes are top notch. All the food is really good. Staff are friendly and helpful. Great in the winter when the stove is burning logs. Great in the summer when the Pizza Yard at the rear is open and you can get pizza freshly made on site.

Lovely place. Gorgeous toasties, salads and cakes. Young, helpful staff. A mistake with our bill was quickly rectified with apologies. Good coffee. Recommend

Great variety of Delicious food, fabulous setting and lovely staff. The room for additional parking is very useful and I liked that there were a few board games available

The Bothy is such a great stop off for coffee after visiting many of the top spots on the North Coast. We love the cosy fires and the atmosphere and if we were just coming for coffee we’d be giving it five stars.

Love it! Staff are great and the outside area is brill for bringing your dog. Highly recommend the cinnamon swirl!

Always been meaning to call in. Now I'm wondering why we took so long! Absolutely fab! Busy spot too. Friendly staff. Quirky cosy interior. Cappuccinos smooth. Scone and traybakes delish! Highly recommended.

After visiting the Giant's Causeway and the nearby rope bridge, we were ready for something of substance and in need of a decent coffee.

The coffee was great , environment was really nice & young . The salads look good but we were there only for a coffee and some sweets . Which we really enjoyed it !

A Bothy is a respite from the elements, and this place suits the name well, especially if the weather on the coast is Inclement. Very nice sandwiches and salads and baked goods galore. Very reasonable and tasty. Husband reports their coffee to be excellent. Plenty of parking and free wifi.

Warm the cockles of your heart in this fantastic little coffee stop especially on a blustery day. The homemade cinnamon swirls (just out of the oven & still warm) were among the best we’ve ever tasted & just melted in your mouth. The coffee was also excellent. Staff very friendly. Hopefully be back soon. Keep up the great work.

Man....famiily if 5 enroute to Ballintoy harbour. Heard a romour this was a great spot to stop.at and it was. Setting 100%. Service 100%. We loved it...coffee has a good strong taste as it should. Then...in walked Spanish guitar and singing blokes. Best coffe house in NI. Food is amazing. U will love this place. If a tourist....and im a norn iron local... Stop here. U will not regret. Enough said. Good spot.

We had been told about this place at our guest house. Apparently owned by Mr and Mrs McArthur who have such a good reputation as fine people and good bakers. The furniture is old fashioned, like it was bought at a series of second hand sales. It would look silly if half the furniture was modern with tablecloths but it is very effective with everything from an earlier era. The word "rustic" appears in another review and describes it well. Orders are placed at a counter where we got a young lady for whom nothing is too much trouble. She explained what everything contained and when we had made our choice she wrote it all down and read it all back to make sure all was correct. We found a seat and waitresses brought all the food. It was well cooked, tasty and made the whole place well worth coming back to. In the back room pizzas are made in full view of customers so clearly The Bothy has nothing to hide.

Was looking forward to breakfast here and menu looked good. However what came out on a tin plate and how much it cost was way overpriced. We didn't even get coffees!

We stopped into the Bothy Cafe after visiting the two major attractions of the Giant’s Causeway and Carrick a Rede ropebridge. Although we enjoyed the attractions the Bothy Cafe was far and beyond the best stop we made.

The Bothy is in a great location and serves a good selection of scones, sandwiches and savouries in a hatch-potch of a building. However the service can be very slow and some customers actually left before their drinks were brought to the table! Not sure if the slow service is lack of staff or some other inefficiency in drinks preparation area. The other niggle is that there are only two toilets which is totally inadequate for a busy cafe / restaurant.

Lunch here is quite unique. Rustic, busy but superb. Very different menu. Definitely not your everyday menu but extremely different and very good. Highly recommended.

Really nice wee place, set along the road between the causeway and Carrick rope bridge. Extremely tasty sandwiches and fresh pizzas. Good coffee and cake too.

we called in here twice in our visit to Coleraine, had Cinnamon bun and coffee first time and a sandwich the next time, both lovely will definitely visit here again on our next visit.

Well worth a visit. Never disappoints. A warm friendly atmosphere with great food and service. Super menu to suit all. Cafe is really clean and homely with genuinely friendly staff. Highly recommended and definitely well worth a visit.

Visited for lunch on a sunny Monday after a recommendation from a National Trust guide - brilliant view with coffee beans being ground and really friendly owner. Sandwiches were delicious... almost as good as the coffee and cake that followed... loved hearing the story of how they got roasting their own coffee too. Not to be missed!

The Bothy handled a Saturday rush of people in August, without faltering . Good parking and well organised service. Nice atmosphere. The buns and tray bakes where superb. We saw some very nice pizzas passing us by!

Went there for breakfast. Food was great, service excellent! Looks beautifull inside. Really worth a stop.

We visited on a coastal bike ride. Greta food and drinks and good seating. The chocolate cake selection is fantastic. Prices are reasonable.

We popped in here after visiting the Giant’s Causeway and we were so pleased. Perched atop the hill with wonderful views out over the bay and tables outside in the side to enjoy them, this was a beautiful spot.

Simple menu, tasty salads and hot foods, lovely sweets and coffee. Funky surf vibe but appeals to all ages.

We biked 5 miled out of our way this morning to get coffee here, and enjoyed amazing breakfasts and superb coffee. The setting is lovely, comfy seating and incredibly friendly staff. We can't wait to come back for breakfast (another 10 mile round trip bike ride) before heading along on our trip. So worth the effort!

Finally popped in for Breakfast and it did not disappoint. It was busy and almost all the tables inside were taken. We managed to get a cosy little table in the corner. Service was good, breakfast superb, we’ll definitely be back.

We had planned to have lunch here after a cup of coffee but the menu was very limited so we decided to look elsewhere. I can't comment on the food but the cakes looked delicious.

Finally another dog friendly cafe and as a bonus it’s very good too.

I had lunch here with a family member. Before I say anymore, the raspberry and white chocolate scone was the best. But, and there is a but, my club sandwich was unpleasant. Damp and slimy inside with soggy, cold bacon. I later saw that it had been assembled some time previously and was just toasted on the outside after being ordered: no freshly cooked bacon, no bread toasted on both sides, no fresh salad ( the salad and tomato should not have been toasted). Overall, the freshly baked goods were outstanding but the sandwich was unloved and generally the cafe was struggling a bit with clearing plates. Sadly, they use single use plastic cups for water which seems very sad for a modern, coastal, on trend cafe. I just picked up one of those cups from the beach the day before.

A bothy style cafe with such helpful friendly staff - country/barn style atmosphere and a slight american feel to the design - really love this place and their choice of menu - and they do great coffee I've been told :) Highly recommend if you're passing or even close

The Bothy is in an excellent location - just opposite the road down to Port Bradden. It offers indoor or outdoor seating and has a lovely view of the sea. The menu is small and the food very fresh. My husband had a beautiful goats cheese and poached pear salad and I had a smokey joe melt. I felt the portion was small and it didn't fill me. Too expensive at £6.50 for what I got. The traybakes were gorgeous, the coffee way too strong and I like strong coffee! Our toddler had a kids sandwich and a juice carton. Lunch cost approx £30. Too much for what we got I felt. I really did like The Bothy - great service, food and atmosphere but I think I would only visit it as a treat!

Delicious coffee, great cakes and a perfect place to relax after touring the Antrim coast. Bought some of their special roast coffee beans to take home.

We were on holiday visiting the giants causeway and the area. We had already been to a few cafes which were very average.

Went for lunch and coffee on my daughters recommendation ( she lives 10 miles away) Lunch was from a small but exquisite menu. We had a salad leaves, Goats cheese, pear, candied pecans and cranberry salad and a Caesar salad, both beautiful and two really good cappuccinos. Service, view and food, recommended.

lovely little place on the coast road , great coffee , great freindly staff , fabulous food , cant wait to come back.

Stopped in for some coffee and a donut! Both were delicious. We also bought some local made crafts and souvenirs. Great place to stop!

S small but wonderful cafe. The coffee is great, the scones are the best ever - blueberry and orange or peach and raspberry. Meals look good too.

Everything was perfect 😃 Top quality service and the food and coffee was amazing. I highly recommend this place to everyone and I’ll definitely be back.

Quick stop for superb tubs of ice cream on the way back to Ballintoy. The place has a great atmosphere- wish we could have stayed & tried the coffee, which looked good.

Bothy is a warm friendly roadside coffee house

Called for lunch today staff friendly, nice location, tourist prices unfortunately my biggest gribe is staff wearing tea shirts with scripture printed on them. I know we have a choice but Ashers cakes on sale as well a bit hypocritical but not surprising for this part of the world.

Called for lunch today. Very limited menu but nice surroundings. The special which was a burger was reheated and very dry which explained why it was served very quickly. Have eaten here before and usually happy so I wouldn't let this put me off going back.

We set off to go to the giants causeway and the rope bridge and we stumbled on this amazing coffee house. The coffee was acceptional and the staff where extremely friendly. The atmosphere was so chilled and the decor was amazing very stylish. We loved the little shop. We can’t wait to return next time we venture along the coastal route. Our little girl loved the ice cream. Thanks. X

We stopped along the Causeway Coastal Route and had an almond bar and two Cappuccini at this great little coffee shop. It was a comfortable space with a wood stove that really warmed the room. The staff was very nice and efficient. It was a perfect coffee stop.

We stopped in from a friends suggestion, and it the food was very good and so was the drink selection. We had brunch, the potato hash and the soda bread, great portions and tasted great. Also we had a cinnamon swirl and raspberry scone which was also delicious, very reasonably priced. Gentleman behind the till was nice, but service was a bit standoffish. But would definitely go back.

A more delicious soup I have not enjoyed! Cute little place full of locals and offering delicious fare.

Called in here as not been before and been wanting to call in for a long time. The choice of cakes etc looked lovely but we are not really cake people so opted for a biscuit. There were no homemade biscuits - shortbread etc, which was very disappointing. We were offered a packet of 2 gluten free “shortbread” biscuits which we took. I had a decaf coffee the other took normal coffee. The biscuits tasted awful, not in the least like shortbread and were as hard as iron. I thought the coffee was far too strong which made it taste bitter. I had to use so much milk to make it palatable it was then luke warm. The establishment itself was nicely decorated and set out but I think a thought for those of us that don’t like to munch on tray-bakes or cake mid morning, when a home made biscuit would be nice, not those commercial dog biscuit type offerings.

We stopped here to warm up and have coffee and ended up having lunch as well. Funky interior and friendly staff. Great food. Recommended!

Very relaxed atmosphere nice staff and great food and coffee. 1st time eating here will definitely be back

More than a café, cinnamon rolls, espresso, and yes!! a bacon potato soup! Amazing! Service was amazing, Cozy environment, nice folks, and lighting was very cool too.

Popped in for a post Portrush Parkrun takeaway coffee. It was so good we returned an hour later for brunch & more delicious coffee.

Called in for a late lunch and was tempted by the Caesar salad. It was full of chicken and was very tasty. The coffees we had were acceptable, but not the best we had on our week's holiday.

Located in a beautiful area of the North Coast, but worth visiting in it's own right. Take time out to visit the Bothy and let time slip away in this cosy little cafe. Great coffee and super home baking.

Lovely cafe with delicious food, and great service. Always busy. We sat by a roaring fire which we enjoyed.

Loved this little place, had a gorgeous lunch here - smoked salmon salad with a twist was amazing. The kids had chicken & ham melt, huge portions. Very busy little place but a table will come available by the time you order your food. The stove was very welcoming on a cold day, staff very nice. Will definitely return and would 100% recommend!

Not sure where they get their scones, but it was the best I have tasted. I loved the atmosphere of this place.

Visited on a busy Saturday. 7 in the group but a large table soon came free and we ordered the soup of the day to warm us up. Very prompt friendly service and delicious satisfying good food. Glad our friends took us there, it was lovely. Great views of the choppy sea was the icing on the cake!

This is a must go to place if you are staying around the north coast. Food is lovely and the home made pizzas are just wonderful. Well worth a visit.

Nous avons pris un petit déjeune dans ce magnifique café ! Nous avons pris 3 assiettes de pancakes et une brioche à la pomme et à la cannelle, un the un chocolat et un jus de pomme à parfait notre repas ! Nous recommandons cet adresse sans hésiter ! Les plats sont excellents et de très bonne qualité ! Foncez !

Visited Bothy for a late lunch during our stay in the area. The food was lovely but quite pricey, the decor is gorgeous with outside seating also available, I would definitely visit again but maybe just for coffee and some treats.

Four of us went here on Friday for a light lunch. Loved the decor and the quirky feel. Not busy, and we were served promptly by friendly staff. Interesting but limited selection of food comprising sandwiches, salads, quiche and wraps. Enjoyed the experience but felt it was rather pricey. Terrific for tourists and well situated on the Causeway Coast but less attractive to local like us who know the local eateries well.

View from the side room is fantastic! Breakfast was lovely (if a little expensive). Lovely treat! Would recommend the poached eggs on sour dough with avocado!

Mmmm knew this little building as the petrol station beside McCurdys potatoes for years never ventured near it until today . Myself and my partner arrived at 230pm starving , sandwiches in display cabinet were imaginative we went for the chicken / cranberry and Brie with tea and flat white we were given a table number a syrup tin with a wooden spoon in ( i thought was a nice touch my partner thought it just looked dirty ) my partner asked for soup , apologies were given they had ran out . So sandwiches it was . Food arrived quickly with a small garnish , tasted fine , however £18.20 was steep , I think the bothy is mostly aimed at the tourist, not the locals . . The French rooms was closed , we didn't want greasy spoon , so we gave it a bash the use of space and the ex school chairs / drums for tables in the courtyard were lovely touches . Although I think it was overpriced my partner said if that pizza oven wax on , it would be a nice place to sit for dinner an evening with the kids - we ll see

Visited with friends whilst on holiday in the area. Very busy on a dull day but queue went down failrly quickly. A simple sandwich was huge and came with salad so good value for money. Lovely outside space at the back which is sheltered.

Was recommended to try The Bothy. Very popular destination for tourists and locals on the Causeway route. Menu limited and stock had run out on sandwich fillings (no ham) and hot options when we arrived. Tray bake selection good. Cafe decor and staff warm and friendly and great view over the road to the water. The Bothy burger good and worth a try.

Great spot to stop for a coffee and cake. Also does epic sandwiches and pizza. Lovely atmosphere, only downer was long queue but worth it.

fabulous cafe, lots of space, friendlystaff and amazing coffee and food. also great views this is an awesome place !

The buildings occupied by this small cafe used to house the only place that cars could get fueled up along the scenic Causeway Coast between Bushmills and Ballycastle. Judging by the near constantly filled state of its expanded parking area, the replacement seems to be popular with locals as well as tourists though they now must drive significantly more miles to a gas station. Fresh baked scones with butter and home made jam are a big hit with many, especially first thing in the morning, though I found them a bit more like sweet cake than the traditional more savory bread. They go well with coffee. The staff, predominantly young adults from the hinterland, are charming and efficient. One, who relocated from Georgia, USA to this spot had especially interesting observations about the differences between opposite sides of the Atlantic. Pizza is also served along with a selection of other dishes. The menu here isn't comprehensive but its well grounded in local favorites that will likely appeal to coffee house habitues as well as others with heartier appetites. Not open on Sundays.

Nice little cafe off the road. Very good pastries and friendly staff. We arrived just at closing time (5PM), but still accepted to serve us coffees and cappucinos. There is a pizza oven in the courtyard at the back of the seating room. Will definitely try it next time I am around.

Visited for Thursday Night Pizza Night. The wood fired pizza was good. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Sitting on the front porch you have a great view of the water. I have had good coffee here as well as pastries. No alcohol but the food and vibe makes up for it.

I’m glad to see ‘The Bothy’ is now advertising Vegan options. I have not returned since my first visit with my husband last year. We planned to lunch there and when I asked about what Vegan options were available the female server looked puzzled and said, ‘we could make up a salad’. Fair enough, usual response - it was when ‘dust’ and a laugh were offered up on the ingredients I found it quite unbecoming. I know this was meant in jest but wondered if coeliacs were treated with the same joviality, or perhaps those that are lactose intolerant? The food was overpriced and when my salad arrived it had rocket, onion, tomato, oranges and tinned sweet corn - not to mention a hefty price tag. Lovely setting but overpriced, at that time anyway. This Vegan won’t be giving them another visit but I’m glad to know dust is no longer considered a Vegan option.
