I have seen all over social media and we have to get down asap to try it!

I have never seen a cart queued out as much which just goes to show how good it is!

I tried their brown sugar latte which had cold foam in it and it was amazing!! They really go all out to make their drinks very “instagramable”

We had to get trying their toasties so we went for their ham & cheese and the chilli chicken with hot honey. The ham was like the leftovers on a christmas dinner is the best way of describing which we all know is the best!! The chicken was like a roasted chicken and the flavours gelled really well, both were amazing!

Of course my sweet tooth couldn’t go past the gorgeous gooey stuffed kinder cookie & the mini egg cookie bar (which i wasn’t expecting the taste & texture of but absolutely loved it!!)

We waited overall an hour on this which went in so so quick and i can see why this placed is queued everyday it’s open 😮‍💨

When people ask me where to eat in Belfast there will always be a mention for !!

They have an extensive pizza menu but also do pastas, small plates, loaded fries, specials & excellent cocktails (some of the best!)

James had their Cacace pizza which had pepperoni, nduja & hot honey which you will love if you’re into a bit of spice 🌶️

It was my first time trying their caesar pizza which was yummy of course but definitely needed more caesar sauce on it!!

Please do not sleep on their bolognaise fries, they are the best!!!

We stayed in the most loveliest, calming, cosiest location in Culdaff, Donegal!

The hosts Rachel & George have been to many glamping locations to gather ideas and have made their own into the most perfect staycation!

They have done small things that make such a big change such as making curtains fit to block sunlight out in the morning, pulley lines, tv brackets to turn the tv around from the living area to the bedroom & many more!

It’s the best pod we’ve stayed in as so much thought has gone into it!

They have 3 pods in total, 2 of them accommodating 2 adults & 2 children and 1 accommodating 4 adults with a double bed & a sofa bed!

They have exciting plans in the future so keep an eye out on their page!

Looking for a spectacular sunday carvery?! We have you covered with this one 😍

We headed to for their 5 course sunday carvery which is on from 12:30 - 3pm every sunday! It’s like walking into a wedding room but it’s highly recommended you book!

First up is your soup station where we had the choice of vegetable & roasted red pepper so of course we had to try both! My favourite was the roasted red pepper with such a lovely sweet flavour to it.

The hot & cold food selection was unreal, especially catering well for those who are gluten free!

The meats for the main course had roast beef, ham, turkey and lamb! We also love to see a yorkshire pudding! The sides are self serve which i think is great!

We honestly couldn’t have gotten a nicer main course and no salt was needed at all which is always a plus! Their meats are also locally sourced which is excellent!

They make their own desserts in house with SO many options to choose from!! (a very difficult choice at that) You have a choice of one full slice or two half slices with a choice of ice cream or custard (or both)

If you can’t handle a 5 course they have their bistro which serves a 1 course every day and they have a queue out the door starting from 12!!

Adults - £29
Senior - £27
Children - £15

Definitely check it out!!

This is one of the nicest carvery’s we’ve had which is actually from the harbour bar in Portrush! For a choice of 3 meats this will cost you £19.95. They also give you a free drink token to use in their bar upstairs where you can watch football, relax at the fire & enjoy their trad session at 4pm!

Fenella's Farm - Egg Vending Machine have opened up their new coffee hut this week which is 100% worth trying out! Emma is such a wee gem so please give her all the support to fulfill her dreams! 🙌🏻 Opening hours are weekdays 9am-1pm & Saturdays 10am-4pm

Leighinmohr House Hotel never fails us for food especially their Sunday lunch! It’s a staple to go to when in Ballymena!

First of all, that cocktail was one of the best i’ve had!!😮‍💨 It’s called the Toffee Apple!

We opted for the two courses for £31.95 which is a bit steep but the portions were massive! (i had a lunch of it the next day)

James opted for the Honey Chilli Chicken Strips for starter which he loved!! I had the Soup of the Day which i think was butternut squash, coconut & lime which was wonderful!

On to mains and we both went for the Roast Beef which was more like a sirloin of beef which i do prefer! You can have it pink the way it comes or cooked more if needs be. It was perfect cooked pink for us! This came with lovely veg (and lots of it) and i absolutely loved the thick gravy!! The only downfall really was the yorkshire pudding which may have been sitting out for a while!

The staff were fantastic and very attentive! We sat in the cocktail bar which i think i actually preferred!

Give it a go and let me know your thoughts 🥰

If you have a special occasion coming up or you want to spend that bit more for quality of food & setting then immediately add Ardtara Country House to your list of places!

This is part of the Browns Restaurant Group so you always know you’re getting impeccable food! This restaurant is definitely our favourite of theirs!

Set in the countryside in a Victorian Country House in the Upperlands outside Maghera, you can certainly see why it’s always hard to get booked into ✨

They also have nine bedrooms tastefully decorated and a lovely seating area outside to sip some lovely drinks!

We went on a Sunday where they have a set menu for £39.95 and i can say it was certainly worth every penny 🥰

Would you pay £13 for a bento box?! I certainly would for this one!!

There’s a rebrand of 3hree Kings Coffee in Portstewart now known as Northshore coffee! They have just recently opened up and it’s already doing great things! They have very different drink selections which we love! Definitely worth checking out! - oh, and make sure you try their french toast!!
