The best restaurants in Bonamargy and Rathlin Allerdale North West

Our first visit to Rathlin Island and of course we availed of The Hungry Seal! The food was absolutely amazing, we were in chippy heaven. The chips are probably the best I've ever had and the battered sausages to die for! The other half had the haddock supper and claimed it was the best he's ever had. Decent portions, the price is up there but not much different than your average chippy to be fair. The girls were lovely and had the food ready in good time. We would take a trip back to the island just for another feed at the Hungry Seal lol 10/10 for us! (Not my picture, found in Google search)

Great service, good selection of food prepared for you, well cooked and presented. A good breakfast menu available with plenty of choice. Well worth a visit

Good food. Very welcoming and helpful staff.

We had a quick dinner here on the last night of our holiday in Ballycastle. We didn’t have a booking but the staff were very accommodating and got us a table quickly. Food was absolutely fantastic. My Rib-eye steak and my wife’s Sirloin were perfectly cooked. Loved it. Thanks to Anthony, our guide at the Giants causeway, for the recommendation.

A great spot for high quality pub grub. Try the salt and chilli fries they are excellent! Best fish and chips I've had in a pub. Very relaxed and pleasant service. 10 out of 10.

Called in for drinks on Saturday night, sign outside for live music but went in ordered drinks looked more like a sports bar with TV on every wall showing sports, asked the bartender about music who replied they don’t show up! No atmosphere, no service and definitely no welcome! Go to McDonalds, Boyds or the Harbour Bar much more welcoming for tourists.

Typical Irish pub, courtesy and good food characterize it. Good and fast boys and girls.

We were a little late (2pm) so not surprisingly some choices were not available. But what we had was homemade and delicious. Cream cake was particularly excellent and all very welcome after a long morning of walking. Thanks to Callum a National Trust person who used to work here for the recommendation 👍🏼

We came here because of the reviews we read and we were not disappointed. We are both veggies and it can be hard sometimes to get decent food. The veggie fry we had was one of the best and very decently priced. Staff were lovely and friendly. If we're back in Ballycastle we will definitely call in again.

Delicious homemade ice cream served by people who know the meaning of customer service. Left with a smile on our faces and two lovely big cones. 😋 thanks!

Popped in yesterday with the family after a beach walk, ordered 6 panini’s and 6 soft drinks - £66 … I nearly choked!! They brought everything out a different times and fed the children last! Needless to say we won’t be returning. The panini’s were also minimum standard , no dressings, side salads etc. talk about feeling mugged ….. a really poor experience

We called in here last Friday night for a bite to eat. It wasn't too busy but it was a little early being only six pm. We shared a goats cheese and salad starter which was really tasty. I opted for the chicken burger which was delightfully crispy and spicy. My partner had the chicken curry, it too was delicious. Service was attentive and friendly. Recommended.

From start to finish, what a fantastic anniversary dinner we had. Taken to our pre booked table immediately. Jug of water and 2 glasses left on table by waitress(something every restaurant should do)followed by menus. Short time later waitress came and took food and drink orders. Drinks appeared in no time at all. Food came out and boy was it tasty. Garlic mushrooms and spring rolls to start followed by rump steak and potatoes of your choice. I got cheesy chilli and they were awesome. Will be back and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking quality affordable grub.

Afternoon Tea yesterday! 5* prices. Food looked well and tasted good - don't expect cream with your scone and jam ...you don't get any!! Service non existent which ruined the whole experience. We had booked but the attention to detail was sadly lacking. Very disappointing.

Derek and the gang so welcoming, as always. Love our nights in the pub to quench our thirst after days of walking around the island. Loving the refurb too!
