Whitehead Golf Club - Carrickfergus

I tried a lamb special at this restaurant, which is not typically on their menu. I find that their specials are consistently delicious, so even though there are many options I enjoy on their extensive menu, I often opt for the special instead. The lamb dinner I had was fantastic. My dining companion had the steak and thoroughly enjoyed it. The service was attentive and the dining area was spacious. The views of the valley were spectacular. There is a full bar in a large lounge area where many guests choose to relax on couches and have a drink while waiting for their orders. The restaurant has a top score of 5 out of 5 for their Food Standards Agency hygiene rating. There is a large, free car park right outside the restaurant.

The scampi was mostly breadcrumbs with very little filling. It sounded like they were reheating it in the microwave, and nothing tasted freshly prepared. I won't be returning to this restaurant.

The food menu at this restaurant is top-notch and the service is excellent. The ambiance is a bit lacking, but the restaurant is clean and the bar is well stocked.

Excellent choice of roast meats, generous portions and proper roast potatoes and fresh vegetables make this an outstanding meal and an excellent choice for a Sunday carvery. Furthermore, the extensive a la carte menu would suit all tastes and families and all at very good prices.

Me and my family went for Sunday carvery, a large group with various dietary requirements. I cannot fault anything. Everyone loved the food, especially the lamb. The waiting staff were rushed off their feet, yet still managed to attend to everyone's needs quickly. All staff were very welcoming and nothing was a hassle and the price was extremely reasonable. Will definitely return even if it is just to look at the magnificent view from the restaurant.
