Local food, cooked from fresh

We’re a family-run bar and restaurant just outside Armoy. Our produce is sourced locally and every dish is cooked to order, from the sizzling pepper chicken people come back for to our steaks off the grill.

There’s a lunch menu, a tea time menu during the week, a fuller evening menu at the weekend and Sunday lunch. Planning a party? We’ll put together a menu around your occasion.
