The best restaurants serving British food in Northern Ireland

We ate here as the place we had intended to eat at was closed. There was a specials menu ranging from expensive roast dinners to cajun wraps. Nothing suitable for vegetarians. I asked if they had anything veggie and was met with a blank stare. I opted for a scone (a whole scone for lunch) which was rock hard. The server swapped it for another one, which was less hard as it had been semi heated. The other diners had paninis which seemed to be OK. Disappointing visit however the server was probably the friendliest person you'll ever meet.

Bar food tasty 2 very good waitresses friendly and chatty Food was good and service was quick Might be an idea to have bar service outside would help with the massive queue at small bar A pleasant evening was had

I'm afraid I was very disappointed with my visit to the restaurant today because of the poor staff experience. I had visited Beleek Pottery restaurant many years ago and had great memories of it. This time, while the food was nice enough, the service was terrible! Three examples - when I arrived there were several people ahead of me trying to alert staff that they were looking for service. I added my voice and someone finally came out removing their ear phones, which I assume was the reason they couldn't hear that people wanted service. I ordered a quiche and salad which was fresh and tasty enough, and a lemon meringue which was OK but obviously several days old with sodden pastry and soft meringue. I asked the waitress if I could wait to take my coffee until I had eaten the main course. When I came back for it, she handed me the same cup of coffee which had been sitting on the counter for at least 10 minutes! I asked for a hot cup which she got for me, but I was astounded that she didn't think to pour me a hot cup of coffee. Lastly, a large group of tourists came in while I was eating, probably from a bus tour and they were queuing up. I had noticed that the top tier of the restaurant was roped off, but despite the arrival of this large group, no one removed the ropes. I also noticed dirty dishes piled up at the hatch not being washed for some reason also. So I would say, these staff need to be trained. They were friendly enough when I spoke with them, but clearly hadn't a clue how to give good service to customers. Given that most of the customers are probably tourists, Beleek Pottery can do better than this in terms of staff training.

We stayed as a group for girls under 15 Feile. What an amazing place👌. Staff were so friendly, accommodating and the food was excellent. Definitely worth visiting or staying over night. Something for everyone

The food was excellent. But the service was horrendous the atmosphere was awful and I believe it to be the restaurant manager needs a course on hospitality as hollering at other staff members in a restaurant is totally unacceptable she made the dining experience awful for us along with an older dark haired waitress who practically threw my dinner plate on the table and it was balancing on the cutlery she never apologised or fixed it she went off doing her own thing, the younger staff were actually really nice although slightly inexperienced. I really dont think that I will be back unless they get a new restaurant manager

Lovely venue. Fabulous selection of food...everything from a breakfast, full dinner, sarnies etc. Excellent service, friendly staff. Great value for money. My first visit but will certainly be back.

I have no words to describe this facility! Food tasted store bought (promised to be home cooked), I was going to book myself, my husband and my three children (all under 10 years old) for Christmas dinner but was shocked to find the price being £55 EACH for adults and £29 for children under 11. Me being a mother of three young children I know myself they all wouldn’t eat a lot so why is their price so shockingly large?! That is more less £200 on a carvery which will be located in a small, out dated, stuffy room room which looks like a 19th century’s school! The music is unbearably loud and it is always the same, it is old school country which I have even found that most of the older customers cannot stand. The staff is poor quality but I believe that many are under aged, the young girls are often seen running around like headless chickens with no help, once or twice I’ve heard management be rude and disrespectful also adding they provided the workers NO HELP! The food can be ok at some parts but like I’ve recently wrote, tastes very branded and not homemade. Once or twice the utensils I’ve seen have had old food stuck to the handles and water stained marks. Going into a restaurant which is meant to be ‘classy’ and ‘well took care of’ I hate to think that the cutlery isn’t being washed correctly. Serious need of inspection needed!

A brief visit for a coffee and apple pie, both of which were delicious. I've visited here on a number of occasions, usually for breakfast or lunch and always found the food and the staff to be excellent. Today was no exception. The apple pie was offered with cream or custard, hot or cold. The latte was first class as was the service. Welcoming, polite and friendly. Thank you.

Arrived for coffee and cake, soaking wet with 5 other cyclists. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful. No problem with us sitting in their cafe, dripping wet and cold. Coffee and cake are great and then they were happy to mop up after us. Great experience !

Called in for a sandwich. Delicious. Made with fresh ingredients. It’s something simple so many places can’t seem to do right.

Very tasty fresh meal. The homemade biscuits served with after dinner tea were just absolutely scrumptious. Friendly efficient team on duty. Very quiet spot would recommend

Beautiful little spot with a great selection of scones. Had a scone and an iced latte. Both were amazing, staff were really helpful and friendly. The entire menu looked amazing will definitely have a sausage roll the next time I visit.

Acabamos de recibir nuestro pedido de Kelstar y la comida era absolutamente delicioso. Comimos hamburguesas de pollo, pollo en rodajas con salsa pimienta y patatas fritas. Sin duda volveremos a pedir desde aquí. Muy recomendable! ¡Qué bueno que ahora tenemos una buena ventaja para los negros! ¡Bienvenido Kelstar!

Warm and friendly and extremely comfortable. I didn’t want to leave. Best recommendations- I’m definitely going back.

So so sorry to hear you are closing - your soups, your fresh sandwiches were amazing! I hope that circumstances change and you find a way to open again. You will be missed from the town.
