Set in the grounds of Galgorm Castle Golf Club, this is a smarter dining room than you might expect to bring children to — but the space works in your favour. Tables are set well apart, so a pram fits and a wobbly toddler moment doesn't feel like it's on show, and two cherry blossom trees give the room a calm, unhurried feel. Steaks are what people come back for, cooked properly to order, and the children's version gets the same care rather than being an afterthought — worth knowing if you're tired of beige kids' plates. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, vegan options, outdoor seating and free parking. It's a treat rather than a weekly stop at ££, and staff are attentive; one family found concerns raised at the table dealt with straight away.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
