After a fairly long day travelling around sightseeing, we stopped in at Lilly's for a cup of tea. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. They recommended a lemon scone with our tea, which was absolutely delicious. Not being from the area, we asked about restaurants, Not only did they recommend a few, they booked us in for the following evening!! Now that's what I call service!! A lovely tea shop with a great selection of cakes, and the tea was excellent..

The Giant's Barn

A cosy converted barn serving traditional food just 500m from the Giant's Causeway and the beautiful North Coast coastline. Open 7 days a week. Coffee, tea, traybakes and goodies not to mention hot and cold lunches too!

Bus stopped here on a coach trip to the Giants Causeway. Ordered the soup and sandwich combo for £9.95 (didn't particularly want the soup but no option to buy the sandwich alone), 2 bottles of coke and a packet of crisps. Total bill came to £19.10!Food was ok and possibly worth £9.95 but the (unpriced) soft drinks and crisps ridiculously overpriced. Seems to be a bit of a trap.Felt like there is some kind of deal going on with the coach drivers and the cafe whereby the coaches stop here and the drivers get a free meal on the basis of fleecing tourists. Had we known we would have avoided but I'd imagine most who stop here on coach trips will have no idea of where they will be having lunch.Good evening adaml886,Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We do have a meal deal that we offer although if you don’t want the soup you are more than welcome to have it without. Prices off drinks and crisps however are advertised on the board above the counter. We do not fleece tourists as prices are all advertised for people to see as they walk in the door. I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy your experience at the Giants Barn.Kind regards Megan kerr

Good service. Old fashioned lobby, bar and restaurant. Sunday lunch - traditional. Fish and chips with mushy peas excellent. One person had two appetizers: chicken tempura and something else (can't remember). Two had three meat special (turkey, ham and beef) with potatoes. TUrkey and ham good. beef not so much. but we were happy with all else.Thank you for taking the time to tell us of your recent visit. delighted to hear you had such a great lunch, I have noted your comments regarding the beef and will the Chef address this. I very much hope that this will not deter you from returning again in the future. Hope to see you again next time. Many thanks.

The Smugglers Inn Restaurant

Reviewed By Deramore

Our first visit. Gin & tonics in small glasses with two ice cubes and a wafer thin slice of lemon wasn’t a great start. My mussels were OK but my wife’s duck was pretty tough. In true Ulster style we didn’t complain, but I doubt that we will be back. Both the bistrot and the restaurant were pretty dead on a Friday night, but I think that a lot of the trade is at lunchtime when booked coach parties call in.It feels like somewhere with a lot more potential, just needs a little injection of style.

I was with a tour group and we stopped in for a "Carvery Lunch" at Bushmills Inn. Ham, Beef, and chicken were available, and all was delicious. We went through a buffet line where servers dished out whatever you indicated. The food was luxurious, and from the looks of it, this is a very pleasant place to stay.

I popped in with my two kids as one of them was hungry and it was right beside Dunluce Castle, where I wanted to get some photos of them. The service was prompt and polite, and the raspberry roulade was amazing!! My youngest devoured a beautifully presented cheese and ham sandwich, while my eldest enjoyed her cup of tea. This wasn’t my first visit here, and it certainly won’t be my last.
