The best restaurants serving British food in Northern Ireland

Having been to the Millbrook Lodge for meals on several occasions we booked for 4 nights hoping to be given the room with the balcony over the front door. My delight knew no bounds when we walked into the Shaw suite ~ and opened the door onto the balcony. It was just wonderful, thank you. An added benefit was that the TV was not on the ceiling! We were a little disappointed not to have a bath but the shower was powerful and very good. The menu we knew would be well varied. I particularly appreciated the Indian food. The desserts were generously portioned and there were also plenty of well cooked vegetables. The furnishing in the dining room was comfortable. We enjoyed the view and each meal time we watched a Robin feed and play on his patch. We discovered the lounge on the first floor and appreciated it on several occasions. The garden. Wherever does one begin? First I think, the seating. Wee benches, park benches and all sorts in all sorts of nooks, crannies, gazebos and shelters. Literally acres to wander round and so much to see! So many trees and shrubs all at different stages of flowering. Lovely cultivated garden flowers and for myself, wild flowers in abundance. Primroses, Gunnera, Violets, Cuckoo Flower, Golden Saxifrage, Wood Anemones, Bluebells, Wall Pennywort, American Skunk Cabbage and no doubt many more that either I have forgotten or have yet to flower. The three courtyards equally delightful in the hot sun or the cool of the evening. We were able at any time to find a quiet corner to relax, read, knit or chat and the ever smiling staff would cheerfully deliver drinks or anything we wanted. The staff were friendly, kind and helpful at all times from the Housekeeper to the waiters, receptionists, Managers ~ Uncle Tom Cobbly and all. We felt that we could do no wrong and that it was their delight to please. Leslie and I have stayed in most hotels in Northern Ireland at one time or another. Most are good; some are very good. Millpark Lodge goes right to the top of our list. In our estimation it is without doubt the best hotel in Northern Ireland and we are very grateful for each happy detail. Thank you.

Had a lovely meal. The staff very attentive and helpful. I definitely would come here again. Stayed in the guest rooms which were nice. Nothing special but adequate to our needs.

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

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

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!

Great place right in the centre of Coleraine in Moore's store. My late wife and I would always make a point of coming here for the wonderful IRISH STEW so I was glad that it's still a staple on the menu. It's always busy so be patient if it is as the food is worth waiting for.

Fantastic From start to finish! Cocktail making was brilliant with the best bar staff ever! Dee made sure wee had the best night and looked after all the girls. The door staff were brilliant crack especially Arlene! The music was brilliant! Safe to say wee will be back!!!

Llama a mi cena a las 15. 55 pedí una hamburguesa de patatas fritas de curry dulce y una pasta que nunca se redujo a 17 25 la comida estaba fría no caliente las mujeres por teléfono dijeron que estaría aquí en breve No estaba pagando 19 libras por comida fría

A school uniform for my children...just in time.. and some treats for the dog from next door.. at K9Bonus...I love Ballynahinch...country...good value and a bit quaint!

Visited Elsie's on St Patrick's day, as being the day it is you just don't expect much from business as there always at a stretch, but honestly have to say we found the staff so welcoming and helpful, and the food was delicious the softest warm rolls were delish I had the soup, my husband had the hunters panini both dishes were top quality will definelty be back to try more

Chicken fillet burgers ordered requested onions and mayonnaise see picture Onions not fresh and one little dab of mayonnaise Chicken fillet not satisfactory was a grey colour rather than white Rubbery chips Also way too expensive

Understaffed and poor hygiene throughout. Second visit to Costa in the Erneside shopping centre. The filthy state of the floor and furniture was appalling. Noticed flies in and around the pastries. The cakes were covered but buns etc made easy pickings for the flies... Not acceptable in this day and age. Only sign of three staff on on a busy Good Friday lunchtime. Barista was working flat out and couldn't be faulted. It's management who are responsible for the staffing numbers and the poor state of the place. Anyone can see the upholstery is stained and dirty. Not very encouraged to make a return visit.

Amy was wonderful and the food and service were fabulous!

We hadn't planned to visit the Glenarm Tea Room but unfortunately the Pizza Pavilion was closed. However our disappointment didn't last long. Whilst on the pricey side for lunch, the quality was excellent. A little gem of a café with well-trained and friendly members of staff.

Coffee and food is fine but service is very slow, cafe is full of dirty tables and there is spillage on the floor. bit dismal
