The Royal Court Hotel in Coleraine

Having booked a table, we dropped in and where shown to a table right at the window. The view was excellent we were able to see the sun drop off. Food was quick and very tasty. Well worth a visit. Have been in the area many time never called in but will return. The best part I did not have to pay.

It has been a few years since I have had the pleasure of dining in this hotel and I had forgotten just how good it is. We were out for a ramble along the coast and I had pre booked for lunch to avoid disappointment. We secured a table by the window which has stunning views of the coast and golf course. We decided on fish and chips which sounds quite basic but the fish was amazing. It melted in the mouth and was perfect. The service was brilliant and faultless throughout. At all times we felt we could enjoy our lunch in a safe and relaxed environment.

This is a restaurant with an exceptional view out over the coast and sea. Although it was busy possibly because of eat out to help out, numbers were limited because of covid19 restrictions. We had from the carvery, where there was a fairly wide choice. With the air conditioning and ventilation we did feel cold and our food very quickly cooled too. The food was good. The toilet areas were exceptionally clean.

Stayed the night with the extended family for a birthday. Hotel location tough to beat with great views of the area and easy access to the beach The room itself was spacious however no air con so our nights sleep wasn’t great. Shower was either boiling hot or ice cold which didn’t help Food was average at best. Presentation was poor. Wife got Brie and mushrooms which were over fried and lacked real flavour, carvery was decent but we’ve had better, desserts like a school dessert Staff however where top notch and couldn’t have done enough. Would I be back.....probably not.

Great Hotel with some of the best views overlooking White Rocks If the weather wasnt so dull and cloudy Weather is so bad Great Veranda

They have got the social distancing right , easy to get in and place an order and then have your food delivered outside with the fantastic of the best golf course in the world , not to mention the sea and the beach!food was nice , service good.

Called in last orders sunday evening and must say was 100% from start to finish Good quick service great food and professional Service Will be back.

Lunch was incredible. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Reasonable pricing for the great quality + the view made everything so much more extra. We enjoyyyeeedd!

Had a lovely meal from the carvery and as usual everything was presented well and tasted great. As it was special occasion we picked something from the dessert I had the butterscotch fudge sundae Delicious and just the correct size of portion Love this dining room with its panoramic views of the sea the Skerries and Royal Portrush Golf Club This has been the location of lots of family events and we are never disappointed

Had a fabulous night away at Royal Court Hotel. It was very cold day outside but our room was very cosy. Two course evening meal and breakfast were included in our offer. The meal was excellent and good choice of menu. The breakfast was equally good. Staff all very pleasant and helpful. Love staying at this hotel.

We went here for a dinner and were amazed by the taste of food. We highly recommend it. And try their tiramisu 😍🤤😱

A fantastic carvery experience. Chef Chris takes you through the extensive options available and knows how to serve a truly decent slice of meat. Looking forward to my next visit.

We have been at the Royal Court Hotel on different occasions but I don't think we will be back, the food is overpriced and not much variety on the menu also the carvery that we had last Wednesday night was cold.

Six of us had dinner here on our last night of holidays. Food was 1st class, we all enjoyed our main courses and desserts.

We came here for my in laws 50th Wedding Anniversary this weekend. It was more casual than we’d expected, we were very dressed up but others were dressed very casual so just a tip! We got a table in the window so great views over the ocean. Our waiter was great & very knowledgeable about what was gluten free and when my mother in law said I was as awkward he replied by saying he was vegan too!! This gave me a lot of confidence in his advice on what I could eat! Although I’m vegan, the salad bar & carvery look really good, lots of choice. Around the table my family had chicken Cesar salad, prawn cocktail & nachos to start & all were really pleased with these choices. I had melon with a fruit coulis which was delicious, just wish it had been a bigger portion.The main course food came out super quick, literally seconds after our starter dishes were cleared which makes me think it was already cooked & reheated not cooked to order but I could be wrong? I’ve worked in the catering industry so would be very surprised if it was cooked to order with the speed it came out. For my vegan main I chose a sweet potato & coconut curry with rice. It was ok but there wasn’t much sweet potato & it was a basic curry sauce made with curry powder. The coconut was desiccated coconut in the sauce. The only other component was onion. Nice taste but very basic. There were no gluten free vegan dessert options but a couple of gluten free desserts so ok if you’re just gluten free. There is was no dairy free milk available for coffee so I had to have mine black.Although we booked our table for 7pm, the whole place was empty when we left & we moved to the bar as felt a bit in the way as the staff were setting up the tables either for a function or for breakfast. By 8pm the whole place was empty!! This was a meal for a very special occasion but we felt a bit rushed if I’m honest & even though we were a table of 8, we were finished by 8pm!! I didn’t really feel this place was as upmarket as my in laws had expected but it was ok. I don’t think we would rush back but we couldn’t fault the food - just the vegan option were very bland/ basic but at least there was choice & not just one option for me, as long as you like curry or pasta anyway!! Sorry I didn’t take any good pictures, we didn’t have time with how quick everything was delivered!! Felt more like a pub carvery that a posh hotel!

Love taking my family here for lunch when I am visiting the Antrim Coast. Good value Carvery, at £10 for good choice of well cooked meats and good selection of vegetables.The childrens meals are the best value £5 for dinner and dessert (choice banana split, icecream and jelly or icecream). The children love going for the dessert alone. Service good and efficient generally. Great view over White Rocks beach.

We had lunch here recently. Kids meals very good value and option for them to have carvery if they prefer. 3 of us had carvery which was very good. Puddings very nice as well. Traditional style food but done well.

Stopped here recently for weekday lunch and had a nice meal. We all went for the carvery which has a good selection of meats, vegetables, potatoes and salads. The price was reasonable and the view from the diningroom was spectacular.

Stayed at the Royal Court Hotel for 4 nights. It has 18 rooms a mix of Twin and double rooms all of which were very clean and of good standard. The hotel is known locally for its food and it didn't dissapiont . The menu is varied but all meals were served in a timely fashion and piping hot. The staff have quite clearly been trained to a high standard and the service was excellent without being overbearing. We are visiting again next year and will definately be staying at the Royal Court.

We had lunch during a excursion. No expectation but what a nice meal. 3 buses were served at the same time withiut any delay. the staff was perfect. Beef was excellent. Just beside the famous Royal Portrush Golf Club (The Open 2019). Would stay there at another independant travel.

Lovely hotel..in a great location. Views were amazing.

Friendly staff to welcome, food was good massive portions, tiramus too die for. Views from the dinner room are breath taking.

On entering the Royal Court Hotel with its lovely surroundings and plush carpet my Husband and I were ready again to experience the glorious food in the Heart of the Antrim Coast. A smiling waitress took us to our table overlooking a glorious view of the sea, we both decided on the roast turkey huge Yorkshire puddings seasonal veg and gravy to die for a bottle of red wine finished off the meal. We both agreed our tummies were very happy!!

Booked for a graduation party.Stunning views both from inside and outside of the Hotel. There was a carvery and you could also choose from the main menu. The food was fantastic and the same could be said of the staff who were nothing but helpful and pleasant. Would definitely recommend.

If you're lucky enough to get one of the window tables, you will have the best views in Northern Ireland. Looking out over the White Rocks beach on a blustery day, knowing that you're inside in the warmth take some bettering. The food is lovely, and I do love their carvery.

Awesome location for hot and cold buffet. Panoramic views of the Atlantic coast. BIRDSEYE VIEW OF ROYAL Portrush Golf Course. Staff well Presented and eager to serve and assist. After recent renovations the hotel has raised the reception area to equal any top Hotel. Very good wedding and conference facility. Get in early for Sunday Lunch

Great food, beautiful setting and fantastic staff. The dining room has an amazing outlook over the East Bay and the Whiterocks

This is definitely the place to go for Sunday carvery. Delicious and good service . Always go if I’m in portrush and it never disappoints. Have never stayed in the hotel but I’m sure it’s the nicest place for an overnight stay as the views of the white rocks is to die for .

Just back from royal court we went for mothers day meal. Have been going here for years never disponted . We had a table booked just as well the place was jumping. Service A1 food A1 and plentiful. We will be back---- .

The four of us went to the Royal court for a meal 3 took carvery and Sinead took of menu. I must say the carvery was excellent and Sinead also loved her dinner and pudding devine. The service was great and the waitress took a photo for us as well

Early evening dinner in the winter, so although it was fairly quiet, the staff were very attentive. Food was well prepared and quickly served. The hotel kept in super condition and is ideal for coffee / lunch / dinner or for a function.

Just spent an overnight stay here & was thoroughly impressed. Our room was cosy & well decorated. The shower was brilliant

Attended a friends wedding celebrations here, first class food served by pleasant and efficient staff.A warm and friendly welcome awaits you at this place.

A brilliant event today and thanks to the staff of the Royal Court they made it flow smoothly and efficiently- well done thank you.

Could not fault The Sunday carvery ..excellent value for money and a fantastic choice of food. Advisable to book as really really popular. Staff were lovely and service was excellent. Stunning views over the beach and white rocks if near the window. We had roast beef which melted in your mouth! Lovely hotel to sit and have a drink and popular with families . Love going here.

Just back from a lovely 2 night break dinner b and b. It was our first time staying here and def not our last. Nice food, friendly staff (especially Gillian) and very clean.

I've been to the Royal Court before and always left happy with the food and service. What a disappointment my most recent visit was. My mother, child and I had variable experiences, to be fair, with Mum enjoying her cod with lemon and dill sauce (although it looked very basic to me) and my child enjoying the chicken goujons. I ordered what was called 'seafood thermidor' which I was told came with mashed potatoes. What turned up was a bland, tasteless FISH PIE, nothing like a thermidor, which I cook on a regular basis! At £17.50, it was one of the most expensive dishes on the menu, and consisted of obviously thawed frozen tiny cubes of fish and - although it said there were prawns in it - no prawns. To be honest, I could have had a tastier meal from Tesco for about £3! It was covered (drowned really) in a huge amount of mashed potato, through which you have to be really determined to dive down to reach the meagre selection of fish. My Mum informed me that the chef and menu had recently changed and, as the food was excellent before that, I think these are changes very much for the worse. We'd also ordered a couple of portions of chips, which were white, soggy and not crispy at all. To top it off, we had a debacle with a waitress about desserts. My child had selected the 'two courses' early bird menu, and had already decided what dessert she wanted. When we came to order desserts, we were given the main dessert menu, and her choice was not on it. I asked to see the original two course menu, and the waitress at first refused, saying it's the same except for that one thing that's different. I asked to see it anyway, so she brought in and, lo and behold, we found at least two different desserts! Now, it doesn't take much of an effort to just bring along the menu from which a customer has chosen their food, rather than arguing (and lying!) about it! She didn't even say sorry, and was quite rude throughout the evening. We were looked after by two other waitresses and they were lovely, but this one seemed to be having an off day to say the least. Finally, I ordered a sherry trifle for my dessert and it was awful. Again, bland and tasteless, no sign whatsoever of any sherry and the fruit obviously came from a tin. Conclusions - poor service, terrible food and, with even more choice in the Portrush area than ever before, when I visit my family who live there again I will not be returning to the Royal Court.

The Royal Court Hotel is a place to visit. The hotel is well designed with a beautiful scenery of the garden at the front of the hotel their is also a seating area great for summer or winter time. All the staff in this hotel are friendly and go out of their way to help .This hotel has a lovely warm friendly atmosphere .they cater for all ages there are lots of functions rooms . The bar and seating area is lovely and gives you time to chat with your friends before having a meal I was taken with my friends into the dinning area by a member of staff who took us to the table we had booked . The table was presented excellent. the carvery meal was great plenty to choose from I would recommend this hotel .

Booked a family night out in this hotel , service was excellent, Ian who looked after us at dinner was very attentive , food was tasty , menu could do with an update , but besides that we got big hearty portions, bar was quiet but we had a great night , bar staff were excellent!

We were with a large group on a Sunday afternoon and we were served the traditional Sunday Roast Beef Dinner. It was very tasty. The roast beef was tender. The vegetables were well prepared and the Yorkshire pudding was just what you would expect. The staff was gracious and friendly. Our group was late because of the traffic around an air show. The staff continued without a pause. Our dinner was served and we were all happy.

Stopped here after visiting the Giants Causeway. We had been in to Portrush but could not find anything open other than take away places. Advertised food all day. Good parking outside with fantastic views from the cliff top. Reception area was modern and fresh and staff very friendly, there is a hotel bar area but staff directed us to dining room. We were met and shown to table in a huge dining room area (the hotel dining room set up for dinner service). We were the only people in this huge room and it felt a little strange but within 30 mins it was very busy both with hotel guests and drop in trade. We were given the full menu and also a special offer option 2 courses for £13.95 or 3 courses for £15.95. Menu had plenty of choice. We ordered the three course option. Drinks came with a jug of water which was a nice touch. Food was homecooked, portion size was very good. Its basic food so if you want fancy dont eat here but for value for money and taste it was very good. Yes the dining room is dated in comparison with the rest of the hotel but apart from that if you want a good value meal in a lovely location with helpful friendly staff then call in. My only gripes were a) one of the waitresses was serving food with her long hair down, basic food handling hygeiene would have it tied back, b) she kept leaning accross the table to take my plate rather than walking round the table, pretty basic waitressing stuff, she was however the only one that let the rest of the staff down as they were all very good and c) the constant Beatles music on a loop! Overall very nice meal in a very nice location. Much better than anything we saw on offer in Portrush. Would stay at this hotel just from this visit alone.

Stopped here for lunch on a really hot day, because the town was so crowded.

A cousin took me for dinner here. Lovely table overlooking the sea - great view ! Staff exceptionally friendly and helpful. I had something from the carvery. Meat and vegetables were excellent. Sometimes carveries struggle to provide fresh-tasting vegetables but this was an exception. Good selection to go with the meat and pretty good selection of sauces, too. Very enjoyable.

Excellent on every front - efficient professional staff, quick service, beautiful roasts and trimmings - only criticism- couldn’t eat my pudding as had full plate at carvery !

My sister and her husband ate here yesterday and was not happy about the way the staff spoke to her asked if they would hurry up and finish the food they were shocked at the way they were spoken to ,this woman was shouting all over the place her attitude was terrible and I would advise anyone not to go there and listen to her ,food wasn’t bad just the manager

Read the reviews and decided to give it a go don’t normally like places this big. However, it was great, really busy which is a good sign but the service with food and drinks was really quick, I hate waiting for drinks which seems to happen a lot but not here. Had the carvery which is self service and you get a lot and there’s a huge choice. We had a more central table but the views are still good but if you book I would recommend asking for a window seat as it is amazing. Took our drinks out at the end and admired the view had a short drive and spent 30 minutes on the beach. Go it’s worth it.

We were treated to a view of a pod of dolphins while we ate a delicious carvery with the best steak pie I’ve ever had. Friendly staff. Great view.

I've tried many carverys across the country but have yet to come across one which beats The Royal Court Hotel's. Fantastic food every time. Brilliant roast beef, turkey and ham, along with top quality sides. My family and I don't think twice about regularly making the 1hr drive up to Portrush to eat here. The decision being made even easier by the staggering view of the Ocean out of the large windows in the dining hall. They have also recently added some renovations to the entrance of the hotel which further improves its visual appeal for those planning weddings etc.

Fantastic carvery with hot and cold dishes. Great variety. The staff are very friendly and it was a good atmosphere with wonderful views. Would definitely recommend.

Our friends took us here just after we arrived in N Ireland. 9 of us had carvery which had been pre booked. A very warm welcome and a delicious meal of generous proportions. Would certainly revisit on a future visit. We had a window seat which provided stunning views of the causeway coast. Couldn't fault!

Staying in a nearby B&B;, this hotel was recommended to us for our evening meal.

We had a couple of oldies in our group, so were eating at 5pm. I thought we'd have the restaurant to ourselves, but it was jam-packed. There's a carvery up till 7pm, which is clearly incredibly popular - we couldn't hear ourselves think, and our elderly relatives found the noise extremely difficult for conversation. Great for people watching - I was entertained by the lady who arrived back at her table with a plate piled high. Before eating anything she produced from her handbag a ziplock bag and some tin foil, and decanted half of her food into it. That was her dinners for the rest of the weekend sorted...

Ate here with my wife and elderly parents. Absolutely stunning setting with clear views over the white rocks beach and Royal Portrush golf course. Service was very friendly and helpful. Chose from both the A La Carte and the early bird 2 course menus and were not disappointed. Lamb chops were cooked to perfection as was was the salmon. The BBQ spare ribs staters were excellent . Two enormous helping of strawberry pavlova with 4 spoons rounded the meal off. Highly recommend a visit when coming to the North Coast.

This is one of the best hotels I've stayed in staff were fantastic food very nice and plenty of it,the room had plenty of space and of course there was the kettle for a brew

Excellent Food Excellent friendly service. Went for lunch on a trip to Giants Causeway. There were 2 coach loads of people plus the hotel also had a wedding reception, but the service was quick, efficient and friendly and the food was much more than expected. Would recommend to anyone.

Stopped here for an afternoon lunch and I can furtherly recommend it to anyone. We've been here several times over the years and I can say it always produces the goods. The restaurant has a simple menu and carvery option but don't let this put you off, the food is supplied in good quantities and has a good home cooked feel and taste about it.

Excellent service. Very good food, especially the duckling. But we had to sit at the back of the building because the front part of the restaurant, with the excellent view of the ocean, had just closed!?? Not so good wine choices on the glass

I recently stayed here with family, it was a nice experience, food was good and staff friendly. Rooms are good and very clean.

Zum Glück haben wir zwei Übernachtungen gebucht. Wir haben die „Bushmills Suite „ gemietet. Einfach fabelhaft. Super Aussicht zum Meer. Und der Whirlpool im Zimmer war einfach genial. Unser Diner haben wir uns natürlich in die Suite bringen lassen, denn wir wollten ja die schöne Aussicht und das Ambiente geniessen. Der Service war sehr gut. Das Hotel liegt an einer hervorragenden Lange. Direckt am Meer und kurze distanzen zu den vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten im Norden.

This was a truly lovely experience. The room was lovely and very clean with a balcony and beautiful sea view. The staff were very warm,welcoming and efficient. The evening meal was superb and service excellent. The breakfast was out of this world. I can't wait to visit again very soon. The cost was very reasonable and very good value for money. I urge anyone reading this review to book asap.

The best thing about The Royal Court is its location. I came here for a business lunch - and at this time of year it was largely empty. The staff are friendly and the view is stunning. The food was not great. Apparently the carvery...

Had a meal here on Wednesday night with my wife and mother and father in law and the service was out of this world. Three waitresses tended to our table and they were really lovely, quick and helpful. It was fairly quiet but nevertheless, the...

There are windows that look over the cliffs below. It was very windy and interesting to watch people playing golf in the wind. We had lunch here only, did not stay at the hotel. It appears to be a honeymoon spot and is set up for large banquets

We met some friends here for lunch last Friday for the first time. There was ample parking at the rear. The dining room is at the front of the hotel and gave a panoramic view of the Skerries. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxed. Having decided on the buffet meal we inspected the newly cookedt turkey, ham and beef options and the salad bar alongside. Roast potatoes, freshly baked Yorkshire pies etc. The chef was friendly and enthusiastic about his food, evidently keen to please his customers. Traditional Ulster food which was delicious. We refused desserts and ended the meal with coffees all round. The service was unintrusive and helpful throughout. For £10 per head it was an enjoyable lunch and we would certainly go again.

Been a few times for Sunday lunch very large portions of typical Sunday lunch food. Very busy but staff are plentiful and attentive. Stunning sea views from the restaurant.

Service excellent and amazing views. Breakfast was faultless, however, on the one occasion we elected to have our evening meal in the hotel our entire party was extremely disappointed by the poor quality of the food. The vegetarian lasagne tasted overwhelmingly of tomato purée. The topping was much too thick & difficult to cut. The dish was reminiscent of a cut price store meal. Worse still the portions of chips were small and consisted of hard ends. I would not recommend the Royal Court for a meat as our e tire party found the food appalling

Food tasty, all staff so friendly and a real credit to this hotel, great banter and the hotel overlooks the sea - bring on the romance! You will want to go back!

Lovely dining room overlooking bay. Service and food excellent. Lunch was delicious, pavlova superbsilver service waiting.

Room was stunning and view breathtaking. Service super as well. Breakfast was on buffet and you had to ask for soft eggs, but wasn't mentioned when introduced to the table.

Two bus loads of our family landed in to this hotel for a scheduled lunch while on a bus tour. The view is to die for.... Great window views all over the restaurant! The food was very good as was the service - keep in mind (although we had scheduled our lunch about a week or so prior) there were 58 of us all at one time.... We all had a lovely meal and then continued on our trip. It was very nice to have this spot in paradise to add to our memories of our reunion!

We had a fabulous evening dinner as the sun went down over the Skerries - a really special moment in time for all of us. The menu was large and varied but the carver was more than a feast. Perhaps not the greatest selection of wines!

was in the area on business and new wouldn't be finished until after 7 so booked table for 8 and other half had tagged along as we haven't been in portrush in ages. have driven by here for years and never tried it before and am kicking myself for not going in sooner. we were welcomed by very friendly staff and shown to a table at the window overlooking the golf coarse and also the white rocks and beach. lovely sunny evening and the views were breathtaking. the waiter took our drinks order and a lovely friendly waitress chloe came to take our food order. she is a credit to the hotel as very polite , friendly and charming as we were to find out all the staff were. our starters were salmon with potato cake and the garlic mushrooms. both tasty and plentiful. i had the mixed grilled and she who must be obeyed had the salmon grilled with champ. very generous portions and absolutely the nicest i have tasted. both cooked to perfection. the food was that good we even sat a while so we could eat desert and were at no time rushed or felt they wanted us out. desert came and i only could eat half due to the amount i had already eaten and was just being greedy. the music was background music and you were able to have a conversation without having to shout, the toilets are spotless.the whole experience was the best we have had in years and will definitely be back. on way out we saw that the hotel is 3 star. whoever does these stars needs sacked as we have stayed and dined in 5 star places and the service and food was nothing compared to here. if you have never visited here make it your next place to visit.

This I think is a meeting point for a lot of families by the amount of people at lunch time when we were there.Lunch is a set menu with a carvery. Must say the carvery is very good value which most of our table had. The set menu had a good variety I had the fish and chips nicely presented plate but the fish was disappointing. It was shaped like a fish so it must have been reconstituted fish flesh. I though that beings we were close to the sea I would have had fresh from the sea.other then that good service etc other than we had to point out that they had not charged us for the afters.

Our first visit to the restaurant. Both of us had soup and a main course, I had chargrilled chicken and my wife had children goujons. Both had good size portions. I had a dessert. All the courses were very tasty and warm (most important). Will maybe try the carvery next visit. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Only thing I noticed (and it's more an observation rather than a complaint) was that, when I viewed the menu prices in the website they were lower than the actual menu prices on the day. The chicken goujons were £1.25 lower and the chargrilled chicken was £2 lower. Suggest they should review their menu prices on the internet, as there may be others who, like myself may be relying on this for guidance. Highly recommend.

Visited here with our two girls (aged 1 and 3) and their grandparents for dinner. We all got the carvery and it was excellent. Food superb and as an added bonus they didn't charge for the girls.

Food was delicious and staff were fantastic, I could not fault any aspect of our visit. We will be back.

It is a sign of a good restaurant when it is busy from the start of High Tea at 1600 until closing time. Very popular with local people

The menu and food were ok here, but certainly nothing special. It had that sad, dated look and really wasn't on par with other restaurants during our visit. Staff was clearly not happy to be there and it fairly dampened the mood.

We were a group of four, I had not been here before and was surprised on entering, there must have been about 200people I the restaurant, two bus tours and many others. It was very noisy. Given a window table with a lovely sea view. Waitress quickly took our order, came back with wrong drink order. I ordered chicken pasta with bacon and mushroom sauce. After food served waitress came and asked everything OK. I pointed the pasta was dry with no sauce, she said the sauce must be at the bottom and to stir it up. I stirred it up and there was some warm whitish coloured water no sign of bacon or mushroom, I said that is not sauce that is water and she replies I will get you some more, No thanks no more of that. Then a replacement meal was offered but as was so disgusted I refused the offer. A side order comes with a main course and when I asked for garlic bread as a side I was told this was not a side and was £3.50 extra I was not pleased at this so I was offered a portion of chips as well. My meal then consisted of the bits of chicken in the pasta, garlic bread and chips. Not very satisfactory the.Pasta was sent back The other three meals of the group were just OK but nothing great, very average "Pub grub" type of thing.So if you want a good quality meal in quiet surroundings this is a place to avoid.. I was not charged for the meal

Four of us, all family, went to this restaurant for a carvery lunch. All the food looked and tasted freshly cooked and all of us were pleased with our choices. We arrived with good appetites and perhaps added more to our plates than is usual. We were glad we did not have starters and it was not surprising none of us wanted a sweet course afterwards. I recommend the carvery to anyone with a large appetite and who likes traditional food well prepared, cooked and presented. All the staff we had contact with were efficient, friendly and helpful.

Great food - very tasty & wholesome & excellent value too. Service was also fantastic - all waitresses, waiters & front of house were exceptionally friendly. The views are also amazing - can't be beaten. Definitely recommend for families or couples.

We came here on a recommendation from our B&B host. It does has an absolutely gorgeous view, and has the look of a nice restaurant, and maybe it is but it wasnt for us. Our waitress ordered us the wrong appetizer and my wife recieved the wrong main course, which by the time we got it she was so hungry she just ate it. The waitress fully admits that it was her mistake but was completely unapologetic about it. I wish i could just blame our bad experience on the waitress but i recieved the worst tasting tbone that i can remember. It tasted like it was cooked in old dirty vegetable oil, with out any seasoning. Salt couldnt save it, and it was tough. I could only eat half of it. Also as a sidenote they dont make cocktails. A fully stocked bar, with everything you need, but no. I double checked with the bartender, after our waitress said no. I dont really know what the issue was, but i wouldnt recomend this place to anyone. Rude staff, ok to poor food, and poor service in general.

My husband and I had dinner here. The staff was very rude and unprofessional. We ordered our food, and the wrong appetizer was brought to our table. We were told that we could order any drink that we liked, then were told that we could only order wine and beer. I was brought the wrong dish, and since I was hungry an didn't want to wait even longer for the correct dish, I ate it anyways. My husband's steak was overcooked and disgusting. He couldn't even bear to get halfway through his meal. When we brought our complaints to the waitress, she only said "that's my fault" and walked away. She left the bill on the table and then refused to come back over. We ended up just leaving money on the table to cover the check. Other staff were unfriendly as well as we exited the building. We aren't quite sure what we did to make everyone so rude to us, but we will absolutely not be back and we will warn everyone about the awful service that we received here.

We have visited the Royal court carvery every time we are in Northern Ireland on holiday and it just gets better every visit. Superb value for money and excellent food First class service by local staff.

Called at the Royal Court on Easter Monday after driving up the Coast Road. Hadn't booked but no problem getting a table. Carvery looked delicious but chose the daily menu. Ordered steak which came exactly as i ordered. Staff friendly and helpful. Stunning location. Five star.

Spectacular views from the restaurant. Lovey food served by friendly, polite staff. Most enjoyable evening.

Only dropped into hotel for coffee as it was fully booked.Very friendly staff. Amazing location overlooking a shell shaped beach. Have stayed her in the past and would highly recommend it. Lots of parking.

Had a super break at this perfectly located hotel on the North Coast in Ireland. Friendly check in and our room was spacious, warm, very comfortable and spotless. I travelled with my Mother and sister and got a huge room with a double and two singles, a sitting room area and furnished balcony with direct views to the Atlantic - beautiful. Dinner and breakfast were both excellent. The staff are all very helpful. You are best having your car as hotel is a short drive out of Portrush. We will definitely return.

My wife and I had a 2 night stay here , the staff were lovely couldn't do enough for you and the food was just class , lovely view out into the sea while we ate breakfast and dinner , we had a beautiful room with a sea view very comfortable bed and lovely bathroom , I would highly recommend anyone to stay here it's worth it and it's close to all the tourist sites 10/10

Stayed for 2 nights in the lovely hotel with a fantastic view of the coast, food was very good, breakfast as well would certainly recommend this Hotel

Very nice restaurant.Great menu choice with an early bird option available. Food very tasty and nicely presented. Staff very pleasant and attentive. Very good value .

Sunday Carvery with family, excellent food, excellent venue and super view over the beach and white rocks.

We ate from the carvery on Sunday and it was delicious. The food was well presented and there was a wide variety on offer. We stayed the night in a most comfortable and clean room and breakfast the following morning was plentiful with a choice of juices, cereals and a selection of cooked food. We would be very happy to return soon.

We had our Anniversary meal in this hotel on 23rd December. We decided not to have a starter as we wanted to have a desert. However we were so full after our meal there was no room left for a desert. My husband chose the mixed grill and it was mighty. I had fillet steak cooked to perfection. We both enjoyed our meal very much. The restaurant staff were very efficient and friendly.

Well, the Northern Ireland kitchen is not that famous, but the people are well known for being friendly. Well, we had both: amazing staff and grrrreat food! Thanks for a lovely (wedding) day with that unique view!

Visited the royal court for their carvery last week the staff were all pleasant until we went up to be served the chef was asked to come out to serve when he did he neither smiled nor spoke . My elderly aunt was the first to be served she doesn't eat much so we opted for a type of cottage pie which was done with steak the chef slapped the first spoonful onto the plate then slapped another on it was liked someone throwing a tin of dog meat onto a plate for a dog, it just looked a total mess, my mum and me took turkey again everything was slapped on the plate the carrots were mostly burnt and the yorkshire puddings were so hard we couldn't cut them . I never said anything because i didn't want to cause a fuss in front of other guests on my return home i messaged tge royal court via social media twice both times they seen the message and didn't reply and this is why i am doing this review. We have neen before and had a lovely meal but after this experience we won't be back. £52.10 was paid for 3 cokes 3 lunches from the carvery and 3 sweets thats a lot for a dogs dinner and a rude chef and no reply

We had our parish 'do' in the Royal Court and it was a pleasure from start to finish. Management couldn't have been more helpful beforehand and on the night. When a load more people arrived than expected they kept calm and sorted it all out. The food was really good and it was all served and organised efficiently and pleasantly. I just have to give a special plug to the rhubarb and banana crumble. It was unbelievably delicious! Thanks to everyone involved.

What can I say well there was all the usual meats and then there was shepherds pie chicken curry as well as a selection of salads I'm afraid to say if you couldn't get something to eat there you have a problem.

We went here for Sunday lunch at the end of October. We rang to book in the morning and had no trouble reserving a table for 4. The female receptionist was so friendly both on the phone and when we arrived. The carvery was 5 courses for £18.00 and was worth every penny. There was a great selection of hot and cold food and everything tasted as good as it looked.

To finish off a day trip for myself and 39 friends we booked in here at very short notice.The Staff were so accommodating in making sure we were all seated together.The Carvery suited everyone and had so many choices,food was first class.Veiws were spectacular,a very enjoyable evening and fantastic way to end a brilliant day.Will definitely be back and would highly recommend this establishment for a meal.
