The best restaurants in Ballywalter Ards South Eastern NI

Only found this place in July have been almost every week since , the best pizza on the island of Ireland, other dishes are of top quality, staff warm , friendly & attentive, this place is a real find, I travel a lot and eat out all over the world, firebox is up there with the best, and sadly this comes to an end December 24 as it closes. I'm so ,so 😢

Lovely shop to stock up on groceries for caravan parks. Has an off license handy for local BYO restaurants.

Please ignore the bad reviews posted here. I can speak personally for the latest one left last week there, which is completely inaccurate. We come in every week and even though we tend to sit in the same seats, we wait to be shown to a table by the staff. People tend to forget it is still a restaurant and showing yourselves to a table isn’t the way to do things. Little less entitlement and a little more patience instead. Alchemy is an absolutely fantastic spot. As I’ve mentioned, we come every Sunday and the staff and the food are the reason for this. I would encourage everyone who is passing though Greyabbey to pay a visit here BUT would call ahead first because it is very popular and can be busy at certain times. Keep doing what you’re doing Alchemy, we will be your customers for life and continue to praise you at every opportunity :)

Want a change of menu? Had Chinese, Indian, Italian, and all the local food? Well what about Dutch? A very interesting and different menu for any meal. Generous helpings of quality food, in Netherlands style; and served by friendly people who give the customer attention and the young waitress who served us was exceedingly nice too. The tray bakes were also delightful, as well as the cooked food. I recommend trying this interesting place for a change; and probably, like me, and those I was with, you will want to return again, and try some other delightful items on the menu.

Seven of us had afternoon tea on Saturday 23/11/24 - amazing from start to finish. Excellent value for money, food was delicious and plentiful. Harrison’s staff always go above and beyond and made my six year old granddaughter feel so special. The best afternoon tea I have ever had - and I’ve had a few! Definitely highly recommend

Only bar open at the moment times are irregular.

Just to be clear, this is a takeaway with a few tables inside and I only tried the pizza. They don't have a very traditional pizza menu list (I guess it's tailored to the locals) however this is by far the best pizza I had since I moved to Northern Ireland 12 years ago. Been Italian and going back home several times a year, I am reluctant t to order Italian food in NI but their pizza has nothing to envy to the Italian one! I will be back.

Waited 45 minutes for a cod, scampi and 2 battered sausages. Went and asked how much longer I’d need to wait and was told another 5-10 minutes because they where busy. Asked for a refund and got no apology for the wait. Would avoid at all costs in future.

Great food, good selection of dishes and lovely staff. Great value prices. In short well worth a visit as ypu will not be disappointed.

Beautiful Meal...Courier was great. 👌
