No pretension about it, just good properly made food by people who really care about what they do. The young lady serving us was mega friendly. We were four adults and three kids. Most of the adult meals were great value, pitched at about £8. I was the only steak sandwich order with the remaining adults having beef burgers with choices like bacon added. Oh, I had a delicious pint of Guinness too. This was one of the best steak meals I've had in the last few weeks and the others all agreed they enjoyed their meals too. The pepper sauce served with my steak was absolutely ace and I loved it. Top notch. I also went for a portion of onion rings as my wife had chosen garlic chips with her main so we could share. Once again, the tasty onion rings were ace too. Thick rounds of mild onion and a crisp batter. The steak was superb quality beef. I enjoyed the garlicky chips too. The kids had chicken nuggets and chips. All made from scratch in-house including the kids nuggets. That's the right way to do it. There was a moment of shock for me when I asked for Colman's mustard, which is the greatest mustard in the world and beef as good as this deserves Colman's, and I was told they didn't have it. As I was taking in the enormity of this shocking claim she re-appeared just moments later with a plastic pot of Colman's, so I shelved my plan to burgle a local supermarket and splurged a dollop on my plate. Another plus was when we ordered diet cokes we got the 330ml tins very well chilled. So many places now just pour from two litre bottles with no fizz left. One possible downside but not for us was that they don't sell desserts. We wouldn't hesitate to return.

We visited at the weekend on (another) wet afternoon with the kids in tow, just for drinks and…read morereally enjoyed it. We sat at one of the tables right in the windowand a charming young man took our drinks orders, waiting patiently while number one son deliberated carefully between orange and blackcurrant cordial. Not an impatient sigh to be heard so definitely a good start. Around us was a complete mix of people, ladies having coffee (never understand people who go to a pub and have coffee but let's not judge), young guys having lots of pints and other families. We were lucky in getting our seats at the window and enjoyed the beautiful views of the sea and cliffs, just breathtaking. I was equally delighted by the fact thatthey serve mini bottles of Chardonnay as most bars seem to serve only that vinegary muck known as sauvignon. The kids were quite noisy but not out of control noisy and everyone seemed happy with that. Well, I was anyway. Only downside was that they had no crisps which for us are a must when you're not having a meal. A great spot for day drinks for a family ot group of friends.

While leaving…read morethe rope bridge, we were trying to figure out dinner and an employee there suggested going to the Carrick-a-Rede Bar and Restaurant. We drove into town and weren't sure we were in the right place because there was a different name on the outside and two doors. One led into the bar, which was full, and one led into the restaurant, which was empty. The guy at the bar - turns out he's the owner - invited us in and our family of six took up two of the six tables. It was cozy and there was a fire and we loved it. My son, who's 20, had his first Guinness there and so that's a fun memory. I got the cider, which was amazing. For dinner, we got the creamy seafood chowder, the beer battered cod, the southern fried chicken burger, the 10oz sirloin steak with peppercorn sauce, and ballintoy banger the ballintoy burger. The cod was as big as my son's head and so flaky and delicious. The sirloin with peppercorn sauce was my favorite meal of the entire trip. We also enjoyed the brownies and sticky toffee pudding, made by the owner's mom. It was amazing. This was one of our favorite meals of the trip and such a wonderful experience.
