"I had heard about this place a lot and we went for dinner. Being minded to save money we chose the 'early bird ' menu, and we were not alone in this as the place was packed. We had booked and got a table upstairs. We were, however, sort of squashed into the corner due to a very large group beside us, but at least a partition divider had been placed between them and us. It also seems there is not a great deal of ventilation in the place and although we were beside an open window, it had to be shut given the flies and – more annoyingly – wasps coming in that were hovering around us. So quite stifling. And I noted a number of flies buzzing around downstairs too. The staff were, however, very good and friendly as well as helpful. The early bird menu was good value and we chose well, I think. The steak strips in pepper sauce were not all that appealing to look at, and came more as a stew than anything else. But it tasted very good. The other dishes seemed to be pleasing and certainly worth the money."

"During our recent visit to Castle Kitchen at Galgorm Resort, we were once again disappointed with the quality of the food. Our complimentary meal turned out to be a letdown from start to finish. My chicken wings starter had dead flies in it, and the roast beef main course was tough and chewy, making it inedible. The dessert, a chocolate orange mousse, was overly sweet and lacked flavor. Despite our dissatisfaction, no alternatives were offered apart from a simple apology from a waiter. This experience was a far cry from what we had hoped for, especially considering our previous stomach issues after dining at Galgorm. We expressed our concerns with management through email, but only received another apology in response. It appears that the Galgorm Resort has declined in quality, and we advise avoiding their restaurants if you wish to avoid a similar disappointment. We certainly will not be returning."

"Went to Cafe Tosca recently for lunch before going to watch the local football team in Ballymena and to be honest it was ok but I think improvements could be made to make it a bit better. First off the cafe is uniquely decorated with...an interior consisting of white walls and lots of pink chairs, so if you like pink this is the place to go. The Cornation Chicken, Pineapple Cheese toastie was very nice but I do feel a bit cheated as the side salad is very minimal considering your paying around £5 for only a sandwich and salad. I also think the cafe could look at what other cafes are doing by adding Tortilla Chips or even a big spoonful of Couscous. Overall it is around average for me but with a few more improvements I would consider it much better."

"My husband and I had the afternoon tea in the conservatory today. We usually aren’t the biggest of fans of afternoon tea but we gave this a chance in of our dining package and it was absolutely phenomenal. Every single part was delicious and so beautifully presented. The staff were lovely and the wonderfully talented man playing piano took it to another level with the amazing music. The conservatory itself is stunning and so beautifully decorated. I’m not usually a big tea fan but I tried mint tea and loved it and my husband loved his. I was especially delighted to see how much my husband enjoyed it, as we booked our stay for over the weekend for his birthday. I have never been to an afternoon tea that made me want to do it again at a later date but I can say I have been now. I recommend this to anyone"
