Barnabys was first established in 1998 on the site of an old farmyard barn, hence this is how we developed the name of the restaurant. Barnabys restaurant is situated overlooking the lake at the 18th hole of Greenacres Golf Centre, which creates a relaxin

First time here early Saturday evening, plenty of table no reservation necessary. Seated overlooking the putting green on a nice sunny day. Great location. The menu was slim just about half a dozen choices. we had beef noodles and a burger. Nothing startling but all nicely cooked and good portions at reasonable prices.Service was friendly. I suppose there were no real faults but perhaps the fact it wasn't very busy meant there no real buzz going on. Presumably the golf crowd were in the clubhouse. It should be busier, all things considered.

Called in one day around 3pm and was able to get a meal. Nice ambience but empty at that time. Food was tasty but I found portions a bit small. Would I assume be a lot better with atmosphere but we were there at an odd time. Worth a visit.

Visited on a Friday afternoon. Food was surprisingly good and plentiful. Views are great if you eat in the restaurant so I'm not sure about the bar. You have the choice to eat in either the bar or restaurant. Food came fast and a cheeky lunchtime glass of pinot grigio was just what you need. Hi there ! Thank you for your great review. We look forward to seeing you again soon Seaneen Restaurant manager

In the nice scenic county Antrim countryside is an organic restaurant and food market called Ballylagan Organic Farm located in Straid village between Larne and Ballyclare. The food is all organic with a lot of the produce being produced on the farm grounds and they also cater for vegetarians and have gluten free options. I got the Gammon and cheese toastie recently and soup and I have to say it was so rich in flavour from the cheddar cheese overpowering the near of the gammon. There is also a rich bounty of sweet cakes, bins and tray bakes on offer for all the sweet toothed foodies out there and there is even a small organic shop where you can pick up some ingredients for your next meal. Very nicely located within the walled gardens of the farm house and the only thing I can fault them on is the price but what do you expect for rich organic and eco friendly food.

If you ever need a reason to visit Ballyclare this is it. I have visited this spot on several occasions before and whilst Ballyclare has numerous coffee shops to choose from the others all have a lot to learn from Blooms. My most recent visit was simply for tea and some afternoon treats and as usual the staff, food and surroundings were all excellent.The location for Blooms is above a florist at the bottom of the town and whilst not ideal for those with mobility issues due to the stairs it is simply above and beyond in all other areas. The staff cannot do enough and are always very pleasant and nothing is to much. The food is well presented always and the choice of fresh homemade desserts and pastry are enough to leave you wanting to choose 2 or 3 options. However the scones are always a big success as well.The decor and seating areas comprise several variations from snugs to tables suitable for afternoon tea. Definitely worth a visit! Pushing the bar higher for local coffee shops, its a pity the others dont follow.

Reviewed By lottie03
I found the restaurant attractive with nice decor. It is located in the centre of Parkgate and there are several parking spaces outside the door. The young staff were very pleasant and quite efficient. I liked the Sunday menu options and chose the beef sliders which were very tasty. Others had the boneless ribs and the chilli prawns which were also enjoyed. Two of us picked the cod and I chose the slow braised beef. Great dishes, especially mine! The beef was outstanding and resembled two slabs of daupinoise potatoes in appearance. We enjoyed the accompanying potatoes and other vegetables. My brother in law chose the chicken chow mein which was a special. It was extremely salty. We all agreed about this and did mention it. He received a complimentary pint of beer. Shame all the dishes weren't perfect, but the lunch was thoroughly enjoyable.

Driving through stopped for lunch. Very busy for a Thursday afternoon. Fixtures and fitting a bit dated and worn. Friendly atmosphere, food was tasty. Food came as ordered and as described. If about here again would return. Quite an extensive menu for a small town.
