Our Restaurant is one of the most idyllic places to eat in Bushmills, offering all-day dining and serving the finest dishes using seasonal and locally-sourced produce in an elegant, atmospheric and relaxed setting. Our emphasis is on quietly unobtrusive, yet attentive service. We offer a sophisticated yet informal environment, showcasing our rich history and heritage in the setting of the original 17th century stables and wine cellar, contrasted by intimate snugs with whitewashed walls and warm mellow brick timbers.

Hide away in a booth, choose a seat in the Garden Room, meet friends in the Arches for a special occasion, with a choice of fine wines from our extensive wine list, or enjoy a traditional Sunday Carvery with all the family. We work with the finest artisan producers, local farmers and fishermen to source the very best ingredients.

    We have been to Bushmills on a number of occasions and it never disappoints. The quality of the food was excellent, the choices would suit many tastes. The ambience and noise level were very good as we had our own private booth. The waiters were very attentive. The only downside were it is expensive and the sides are not included in the price.

    Food was excellent. The tandoori duck main dish was delicious, possibly one of the nicest meals I have ever eaten. Service was fantastic. Our mango and passion fruit tart dessert was also really good. It was a 5 star experience all round. Highly recommend dinner here.

    Our first dinner at the Inn was in 2016 and we knew that on this trip in 2023, even though we only had a week in Northern Ireland, we HAD to get up to Bushmills for another fantastic meal. And we were NOT disappointed!!! The meal, the service, the ambiance and the warmth were outstanding. Our most favourite place to visit in Northern Ireland!

    Love eating at Bushmills - when we walked in we were offered a booth table - asked if we could sit at an open table and they readily agreed. The meal was as usual excellent and the staff cater to your every need. When we were ordering our coffee, we asked if we could sit in the lounge. This was no bother, so we walked to the lounge and the waitress was minutes after us and chatted about the number of chefs in the kitchen and front of house staff - very interesting. All pleasant and working hard to make your evening enjoyable. Can’t think of anything I’d change. Just love it.

    Wonderful as ever. Only slight blip was the table - my husband is 6'5" and the tables for two are awkward as he has to sit with his legs astride the table. It was very busy so wasn't possible to have a larger table. Next time I am booking I will request a larger table.

    From the minute we walked through door staff were very helpful. The service was exceptional. The food was a culinary delight to the all the senses. The atmosphere was relaxing and comfortable. Staff were informative and were comfortable to talk to, we had a little banter with them. I could go on but would recommend it to try the experience as words can only describe so much. Will be ack again

    Starter was shocking... Three slivers of duck breast on an oversized plate. The pumpkin seeds were thicker than the duck breast slices (that must've been sliced on a mandolin). We both ordered steak and they got the order wrong. I knew as soon as it was served that they'd given me the wrong steak. We had to wait on the potato side dish that came out 7 mins after the steaks were served in a bowl that had obviously been several minutes in a microwave.

    Food had amazing flavours however, the venison and the duck were over cooked. We were told that they would be pink but were well done. The cheesecake was not cheesecake, it was more like mouse. The vegan tart was amazing. The breads for starter were also amazing. The red wine shiraz was also beautiful. The service was outstanding.

    Disappointed with our meal. Could not eat the haricot beans served along with the salmon as so very,very hard and under cooked. Spoke to staff member, then we were told the chef said they are to be served al dente. Explained they were certainly not al dente and that was why they couldn’t be eaten. Staff member stated the reception desk were aware of this for when we went to pay. On paying the bill, when mentioned again that the meal was not the standard we expected and had experienced previously, the receptionist simply stated that was a pity. No further acknowledgment. Very disappointing.
