Restaurants · Newtownabbey
Tucked into Newtownabbey with a homely, casual feel, this is the sort of place where the staff make you feel like you're visiting family — patient, chatty, and unfazed by a table with children at it. Portions are generous to the point of comedy: the Sunday lunch comes with flexible choices and properly cooked food, the fully loaded burger defeats most adults, and the Belgian waffles get singled out again and again. The honey chicken tikka masala and the "not so wee fry" are both worth ordering. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and outdoor seating, and the coffees and matchas are good enough to make a stop worthwhile on their own. The snag: parking is genuinely tight, so expect to find a space nearby and walk. Booking is sensible, and check menu cut-off times — some finish early evening.
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.
