The food is so good here that we swept the boards to earn the title of ‘Destination Delicious’ at the Northern Ireland Year of Food and Drink Awards. A hunger for superb, seasonal, locally sourced food which is rooted in the richness of our landscape, rivers and fields has ensured that the most authentic dining experience is available.
