Restaurants · Carrickfergus
A long-standing local favourite where the portions do most of the talking — people routinely take half of it home in a box. The kids' menu is unusually thoughtful, split into the familiar nuggets-and-chips section and a second run of smaller adult dishes for children who want something more adventurous, and there are high chairs, buggy access and free parking so getting everyone in isn't a battle. Staff are warm and unhurried, happy to answer questions and to work around allergies — one family had a sauce made separately and served on the side. Food comes out fast and piping hot, which matters when someone's flagging. The honey chilli chicken strips, the salt and chilli chips and the fish batter get raved about, and the sticky toffee pudding is light rather than cloying. Prices have crept up, but portions still make it good value.
