The best restaurants serving British food in Newtownabbey North Eastern NI

Great personal welcome, very kind and caring, very good food

Nice fry, just disappointed with hard egg

Very busy restaurant staff very pleasent and food great

NOT A SIT-IN, pictures of indoor dining such as food on plates etc should be taken down so it doesn't give the impression that it's a sit-in.

Love love love. My wife had the beautiful pavlova and I had the apple tart. This is the best coffee shop in ballyclare The owner is so friendly and the staff are lovely. Great buzz as well

I would give 10 stars if I could... found it by accident on google when we wanted a bite to eat at a really awkward time of day 15.45 on a Thursday. Chef really accommodating in terms of gluten-free. Waitress was super friendly and helpful... Food was fresh made and super tasty. price was a steal at just over £20 for 2 mains a side and soft drink. I’ll defo be back! Thanks

I called at the shop today and purchased some biltong. The location is lovely, the product is decent but the 2 female staff members made me feel as welcome as gonorrhea. I was the only one in the shop but not even a ‘hello’ or a ‘can a help you”….just the price mumbled and a curt goodbye. Maybe my expectations of a rustic farm shop were just too high?

Busy little cafe in Whiteabbey village and overlooking Belfast Lough. Nice menu, pleasant staff and food good quality. Enjoyed our breakfast and would return.

Came over Newton Abbey to say goodbye to a dear friend I cant speak highly enough of every member of staff I spoke to from reception to the bar staff to the restaurant manager I would like especially mention the lady who sorted out our breakfast table on the 20th September I'm so sorry i cant remember your name but you were amazing

First time in Knags and will definitely be back, food was great, the team were amazing, very friendly and easy to have a bit of craic with, they didn't rush us to order, we were chatting, and couldn't have done more for us at all. Great afternoon had by all! Thanks folks and will see again soon!

Excellent venue for our walking group we got train from Castlerock and walked Newtownabbey Way we had great coffee and scones and met very friendly staff Especially Leanne and Anita Mossley Mill itself an interesting spot with a linen museum and theatre as well as a walk Walkers saying they want to return for lunch

When phoning to book the reservation, I asked about a gluten free menu which I was told they have an extensive amount of gluten free options. When seated I asked for the GF menu and was given a vegetarian menu with no indications of GF options. I approached a waitress and asked for the gluten free menu and she told me I had it and slammed the menu on the table. It was clear the staff has no allergen awareness training as celiac is not the same as vegetarian and my child could become extremely ill which I had to tell the waitress myself. I repeated myself around 4 times and the waitress said “flip sake” with an attitude so another waitress had to step in to try and navigate the menu. I was told there was “GF” beside all the options but when the other waitress and myself looked there was none. The original waitress went into the kitchen and came out and told me anything could be made gluten free while again slamming menus on the table at me. I told her she needs to change her attitude with me where she then replied “ you need to change yours”. Completely disappointed and ruined my experience. She was short with short reddish/ brown hair and glasses. However the food was great.

Always good food and great service

Good coffee although cups a bit small. Food good.

This is a really good fish and chip shop. In my opinion it's the best one locally.
