Excellent for dinner, though quite pricey. Does nice lunches and a decent carvery on a Sunday which is more reasonably priced. Lovely seating area outside if you’re lucky enough to get good weather, and warming peat fire inside if you’re not.

Bushmills. We’ve only been here once for dinner. Food was good but it was a quiet night and lacked atmosphere. Does a good lunch (recommend the antipasti platter) or coffee and a scone.

Portrush. Fantastic food (mainly Asian inspired) and atmosphere. Doesn’t allow children and runs on a first come first served system (although this has sporadically changed through covid restrictions). Can require a long wait during busy periods but the cocktail bar upstairs helps with this. Cocktail bar is also open to non diners. Definitely worth a visit.
