The best restaurants in Castle Demesne Ballymena North Eastern NI

Lovely staff, nice food and very reasonably priced. But would love to see some vegan options added to the menu it would bring in a lot of business:)

Absolutely fantastic hidden gem on Broughshane St, Ballymena. Service is second to none and coffee tastes fab! Have a lovely selection of homemade sausage rolls, sweet treats etc. The side nook for sitting down and watching the world go by is also a bonus, with a cozy vibe and heaters for the chillier weather. Highly recommend!

Called in for brunch and we e weren't disappointed. Food and coffee were delicious, we will be back soon! Staff were helpful and pleasant also!

I had a birthday cake baked here, it was delicious, the scones also are delicious, and staff were very helpful, well done dougies goodies

Great service, Great Food. Best Ribeye in NI..

Very fast food service and polite staff

The food was delicious and the server Molly was absolutely brilliant. We will definitely be back again for pizza as well as other dishes too.

Such a great venue ! Very friendly staff, and a large selection of drinks on offer. Live music often on offer, can really recommend their monthly sessions, very enjoyable. Well worth a visit if you're in town.

So the portrush store doesn’t seem to be available on trip adviser having had a great experience in the ballymena store as locals we were delighted to find there is a portrush store unfortunately having visited today as a family of 4 whilst staff were very friendly the bill of £19 was a little extortionate for one mocha frappe one americano two soft drinks and two tray bakes ( one of which was rock hard) would hesitate to visit again ☹️

So excited to finally go here with my daughter but the experience wasn't what I expected. For the prices there is no table service you have to order at the till. I was not advised correctly when asking about the Spanish hot chocolate. It isn't a drink it comes in a bowl for dipping biscuits in. I specifically asked was it like a normal hot chocolate you could drink and was told yes. I ordered coffee and 2 savoury pancakes. Paying by card I was asked to select what tip I wanted to leave. Feeling like I had no option I left one. Then we waited on our food. I had to go and order tea after the "drinks" arrived as the Spanish hot chocolate is not a drink and leave another tip. We waited again and after 35 minutes of waiting I asked for a refund. To be told that the food order hadn't been sent to the kitchen. We didn't have time to wait any longer. When the refund was being done they didn't ask what of your tip you would like refunded. I don't mind paying for service but we didn't get any. Can't review the food as we didn't get any of that. Won't be back. Sometimes best to stick to the places you know.

Great place, Owner is a lovely man. Definitely recommend!

Great pub with a great atmosphere 👍

Amazing cosy atmosphere, Highly recommend rose latte Definitely will visit again!

Caramel squares big let down. Exp 03/06/20 this 16th May 2020 shortbread like a brick caramel not great. Very unimpressed. There was 3 squares had nearly a 1cm thick of caramel 1 had barely 4mm. Pending on how the food was handled after it left the bakery it tastes out of date.If it was good id say its good but its not.2 of the squares didnt have the top covered with chocolate. If i try again some time and its good i will give a great review.

Food was reasonably priced and delicious. Portion sizes were generous. Staff were super friendly. Great place to eat, I would highly recommend.
