The best restaurants in Ballymacbrennan Lisburn South Eastern NI

Visited with my partner on a very wet and windy Saturday afternoon, greeted warmly by the manager and waitress and advised table would be ready very shortly, ordered bottle of wine which I was informed was very good quality and I had a beer. Taken to table soon after, full Christmas menu on plus a number of favourites which are on all the time which was good to see if had your turkey and ham fill already. I ordered scampi and chunky chips which came with a side salad, this was one of the very best Scampi I have ever had, large plump king prawns in a lovely light batter, well cooked chips and the light salad and fresh tartar sauce complimented it really well. Partner ordered a starter portion of seafood chowder with fresh wheaten bread and garlic and parmesan fries to come as her main dish, this looked very appealing on this cold,windy day, she said it was beautiful with plenty of seafood, nice thick sauce and chunky potatoes, I dunked some chips in it too and can agree it was really tasty and one to try in full again. For dessert we had been told by a friend that they do a great apple crumble and side custard with dollop of ice cream on top which is right up our street, we couldn't see this on the menu and were pretty disappointed but the head chef Sam came over just at this time and introduced himself and asked about our meal, I cheekily asked about the crumble and he said, no problem I'll do it for you now, we shared the dessert as we were full from the large mains and it was delicious, took us back in time to be honest and a lovely end to a really enjoyable meal at a very reasonable price. Finalising, great, friendly and professional front of house and staff, food very high quality with nice portion sizes , willing to go the extra mile, highly recommend.

Very disappointed. I booked for Mothers Day - an evening meal for four of us. The menu looked lovely and we were really looking forward to dining there. I received a call from the restaurant this evening, informing me that the menu had been changed to a 3 course, set menu costing >£37 per person. Not only is this very late notice, but it's also very expensive considering my sons don't eat starters or desserts. I asked if we could access the other menu, but was told this was not possible. I cancelled our booking and will not be frequenting this restaurant again.

Incredibly rude staff! Very ignorant towards a family with a child. Owners/managers rude also and unhelpful. Certainly won’t be back or recommending. Can’t accommodate family’s bigger than 4 it would appear.

Avoid this restaurant if you are gluten intolerant! Usually a jacket potato is a safe choice, but today my only option was to have it with grated cheese and a very, very small side salad all served on a small side plate- I didn’t risk the baked beans. No dressing available, as the mayonnaise couldn’t be guaranteed Gf. So a really really dry tasteless lunch. Staff are few and far between, though the young lady serving me was doing her best I think.Really Dobbies, this reflects so badly on your company that you would do better to close it, or keep it just for coffee and tray bakes ( no gf options there either, not even pre wrapped brownies. )
