The best restaurants serving British food in Northern Ireland

Me, my husband and parents went to the windrose between Christmas and New Years for dinner and I was disappointed by the food. It was our first time there since it reopened. I’m a vegetarian and didn’t have many options on the menu (1 starter and 1 main) which I was really disappointed in, and even the seemling vegetarian curry didn’t have the “V” next to it so I had to clarify if it was veggie or not. I ordered the curry which comes with rice but I ordered chips as well. Our order comes out and the waitress tells me that they ran out of rice so they gave me more chips… so I had a curry with an enormous amount of chips. If they had asked me what I’d like instead or told me they ran out of rice before I ordered then I would’ve tried to order something else and tried to adjust. I was really hoping the food would be better than before but even my husband said his stomach wasn’t okay the day after we went. One of our servers Beth, she was fantastic! Couldn’t fault her! But the overall experience wasn’t great for it being reopened.

One of the better Wetherspoons i have been in. Staff well on top of things and nice atmosphere.

The staff in this store need a pay rise and recognition for how amazing they are. Their communication is amazing and kind. Their understanding for children's hot chocolate mishaps (spilt) was truly amazing. I would highly recommend this place.... amazing staff.

Good coffee although cups a bit small. Food good.

Absolutely one of the best chippy spots in town! The food is consistently excellent — always crispy, perfectly cooked, and served piping hot. They never disappoint, whether it’s chicken goujons, fish, chips, or other items on the menu. The quality and taste are spot on every time. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a reliable, satisfying meal!

By 12:50pm they had run out of sausage rolls and had no "pasta dish of the day" available at any point in the day, despite this being advertised. The guy behind the counter was completely unapologetic and just said "Don't look at the board, just go on what's behind the counter". Options were limited, service was slow. As I was paying, a man returned his jacket potato and beans saying it was all stone cold. Will go elsewhere next time.

This was a brilliant find! Stayed in the Ibis hotel and wanted to eat without going too far. Absolutely beautiful decor. Warm and welcoming and comfortable. On Sunday early evening great guy playing and singing. The staff make this place without a doubt. Danielle, Amy, Neeru and Harvey. A fabulous team and we’re so friendly. To be greeted with smiles can be somewhat rare in hospitality these days!! Danielle chatted to us and was so helpful. A big asset to this restaurant!!!!

This is situated at the back of the Carrickfergus civic and museum centre, and we came across it whilst making a brief stop for lunch before catching a ferry. Three of us opted for the Glasshouse no meat fry and it was absolutely delicious!! The soda and potato bread was especially good. The young man who served us was lovely and we were happy to have accidentally discovered this place and enjoy a great meal in a great space. Whilst here, we also popped in to the museum in the same building.

Terrible, staff hardly know what's happening, after waiting a good while after ordering to find out some good unavailable, tEven after 40 mims waiting and asked how much longer till food ready I was told, don't know, then food sat down to us, not great at all. Chicken burger over cooked in batter. Gravy full of salt for child. Other customers were ordering before is and sat down well after us. Awful place.

Absolutely amazing food, great service

Gucci chip has not once disappointed me. I've been coming here for 3 years and no matter what time of night the food is of exceptional quality. The goujons are especially scrumptious, always home battered to perfection. The gucci sauce is truly top tier. Idk when these guys sleep coz they're always open. Best chippy on the Lisburn road would deffo recommend.

Met up with a mate for lunch today & we always go here, staff very friendly (Anatasia) plus great atmosphere

Disgusting..... Last time I was here I made a large order for my family as I wanted to treat them to a takeaway. After I ordered I could see into their back storage room. There was a tiered cart on wheels with chips in each tray. To my absolute shock and dismay I could see someone with a mop and bucket right beside this. When I watched the person PLUNGE HARD into the bucket, they splashed the chemicals from the bucket all over the chips. Obviously this is disturbing to anyone about to eat the chips out of here. I don't want myself to get sick. Told the girl at the counter and she seemed very disinterested. I therefore felt I would just cancel the order and leave as I don't want to be at risk or my family.

Amazing service !! Had the best and prettiest cappuccino made by a girl named Becky ,she was lovely,sweet and made me feel so welcome ! Would recommend to anyone for a stop off even if travelling solo:)

Everything was superb. Thank you.
