It is run by a husband and wife team, the menu is simple but plentiful, and full of all the traditional favourites. The fries they do look absolutely fantastic (not tried one myself but I follow them on Facebook and they look awesome!) We had lunch when we were there, mine was quiche with a baked potato and cheese and it was SO TASTY! They also do frequent competitions on Facebook to win free meals, here's hoping!!

The place is spotless and you can see into the kitchen, always a good thing. The food is proper home cooked food, proper roast dinners and the best fry in Carrick.

Called in here yesterday for a sneaky lunch after a workshop in Scrabo children's centre…read more This place is beautiful albeit small place..but that adds to the charm It's a renovated gatelodge (hence the name) and it is awesome! Has an old world charm about it mixed with modern touches with vintage fireplaces, bare stone walls as well as trendy lighting and beautiful canvasses on the walls The food was lush! The menu is quite small as it caters for the breakfast/lunch crowd...but had a good selection of sandwiches, salads, lite bites and homemade pastries like sausage rolls & buns The best thing though, has to be that this place is in collaboration with Stepping Stones NI, which allows training for adults with a learning disability or difficulty, helping them gain employment and life skills. Profits from this place go to help Stepping Stones NI regenerate their funds and provide ongoing support for adults who need it. What a fab place, with a brilliant ethos and a fantastic atmosphere, food & staff! We'll be back down in Newtonards in the near future, and will defo be making another visit!

While killing time between hospital appointments I thought I would treat myself to a coffee in this…read moreplace. Now I know this building well as it is the actual Gatelodge for Ards hospital and years ago it used to be the accommodation for the junior doctors who worked there. It has been beautifully renevated maintaining the charm and character of the old gatelodge while blending in a new building. It is run by a charitable organisation who helps support people in the work place with learning disabilities , so all the profits go back into supporting this project . Inside the building there has been a great deal of thought put into making use of every area and it is so well laid out even incorporating an outdoor seating area. There is a variety of seating , ranging from tables for two to sofa seating for bigger groups. The service is excellent ordering at your table or at the counter and it being brought to you.The menu ranges from breakfast to tea with quite a wide choice of good quality food. I sampled a cappuccino and cherry scone both of which were moreish! All in all my experience of The Gatelodge was not only a trip down memory lane but also a pleasant relaxing cuppa in tasteful surroundings and I definitely will be back again and I won't need a hospital appointment as an excuse to do so!

My friend had a large slice of quiche which had a complete chicken breast on top while I had salmon with chilli sauce. These came with a selection of excellent salads and were delicious. The items on the menu are also available in the farm shop inside the store. The conservatory is unfortunately somewhat lacking in atmosphere (hence 4 and not 5 stars) but I was assured that this will change with developments planned for the future. It is very well worth a visit.

I challenge you to get your mouth around this. Lunch and breakfast time is very busy as they're are not many tables. And as people tend to be waiting for tables you can feel rushed to leave.
