We stopped in here while passing through Ballymoney and were looking for somewhere for lunch. Well, what a gem we ended up finding. A lovely little restaurant. We picked the 2 courses for £20 option and ordered the turkey and ham roast dinner and a dessert. The turkey and ham was delicious and well proportioned. The desserts were also beautiful. I would highly recommend this place, and if I'm ever passing through Ballymoney again or near the area, I will dining in here again. Top marks.
Stopped in for late lunch on a drive back from Giants Causeway to Belfast. This was a sleepy little town. There were a few restaurants along the Main Street and we opted for this one. The ambiance was pleasant and fairly casual. Service was nice, but slowwww. Took us a while to get our bill and leave at the end. I know this is more common in Ireland/EU, but this was particularly long as we were generally ignored after food arrived. Maybe the time of day and minimal staff. Anyway the food was pretty good. There were vegan options. A kids menu. And the beer hit the spot. Would probably try another spot next time, but no real reason not to return here. Give it a try!
An absolute gem of a restaurant in the heart of the town. Not sure how I stumbled upon this place but visited for a birthday lunch and it was fabulous!
Menu is very nice, very reasonable prices and plenty to suit everyone’s taste. Also very impressed at the vegan menu!
We tried the BBQ and Korean chicken for starters, which was amazing. Goujons and chips were lovely. The vegan nut roast which also very lovely too. Service was prompt. There was a really nice atmosphere. The waitresses were incredibly friendly and had great customer service.
The ladies bathrooms were also extremely nice 😂 genuinely one of the nicest I’ve been in in a while in a public place.
Highly recommend!! We’ll definitely be back again.
Great restaurant! Visited for the first time and will definitely be back. We got the three course Sunday dinner. Couldn’t fault the food the roast beef was great and the portion sizes are great! Such a gem, would highly recommend
Wow, what a meal... don't count the calories and treat yourself to a feast... loved the cauliflower popcorn, Korean beef and the magnificent onion! Every main course choice was a winner too. What a range of cheesecake and sundae options..! Service was excellent and the surroundings are particularly cosy in the front room with the log burner blazing - quieter in the back room where we were seated but we moved to the fire for our coffees before dragging ourselves away
Went here for a Sunday roast. Chose beef roast dinner and it was very well cooked and delicious. The sticky toffee pudding was devine! For starters we had pork ribs which were also very tasty. The cost of the meal was good value for money and we would recommend eating there. This was our first time but we will be back!
Amazing as I'm GF staff couldn't do enough to accommodate. Food was freshly prepared and delicious. Really reassuring when made feel having food allergy wasn't a big issue for chef. Waitress gave me lots of options to choice from. I choose fish and chips and thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely return if in area again. Thank you.
A wonderful place to dine. They are very accommodating to food allergies. I've been here a few times and have never been disappointed. The staff are amazing. The menu covers a wide variety of cuisines, which is always cooked to perfection. It's my favourite place to eat in Ballymoney
My wife and I ate here on New Years Eve. The food ( starter, main, and dessert) was excellent, and despite the crowd, it was served promptly whilst still hot. The service from Caitlin was first class (friendly and helpful), and we will definitely return. Our bill (£60) included 4 drinks and was not overpriced. Highly recommended.
Ordered some food for a change to our normal Saturday night takeaway. Vegan options for the wife. I don't think I've ever had tacos as good in my life! Unreal! We will be back. The cauliflower wings amazing too. I regret not getting a dessert as the other food was so good.
Food was the best I have had, only criticism I would have is it is a bit too bright inside for my liking. Whilst there I heard someone else saying the same. Other than that would recommend to anyone. Food was delicious, well presented and hot. Live music was great.
Good community atmosphere amongst a football presentation and a singer/guitarist bravely persevering. Good value food of good quality. Particularly liked the sea bass and the goats cheese mousse was a nice change. Gluten free options available. Run out of non-alcoholic beer though.

My family and I used to eat here regularly when it was Molly's so we wanted to see what The Holestone experience was like. The food was absolutely delicious. Packed full of flavour, plentiful and just thoroughly enjoyable. I ordered the pasta and had a strawberry margarita with it which was lovely and refreshing.
My husband opted for the burger and chips and thought it was all really tasty. The service was top notch, particularly the waitress who took us to our table and brought the drinks etc. She was super friendly and helpful.
There were a few downsides for us. The atmosphere is very stilted now, the music we encountered as we entered was just very loud. My husband and I could hardly hear each other talking. The back room where everyone was placed is a little cramped and dark. The lighting is dull which adds to the overall lack of ambience.
The other downside is the price list. It's definitely much more expensive than a town like Ballymoney is used to. One cocktail was £8.50 whereas before it was £5 or two for £8 (as Molly's). I understand it's a totally different business now but customers will be hard pressed to pay these kinds of prices when they're used to something else cheaper.
My husband and I agreed we would return because the food is incredible but we felt that it wasn't a great place to continue to take our children. Perhaps for a date night on our own. It is distinctively more fancy and subdued than the previous establishment.
The best restaurant experience I've had in years. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff and best of all, amazing tasty food. My vegan penne allá rústica was so full of flavour and the portion size was enough for the hungriest person. My daughter is quite fussy and didn't eat her pizza, so the owner said he wouldn't charge for it, which was a nice gesture. We left a decent tip for the amazing service and asked the staff to compliment the chef too. My new favourite restaurant. Almost forgot to mention the delicious cocktails me and my wife had. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
large portion, good taste
Truly wonderful service, food, cocktails and wine. Could not recommend this place more! Well thought through menu including sourdough pizzas (hard to get this quality), vegan options and specials. Staff offered recommendations and they were 👌🏻. Nice addition of guitarist/singer. Highly recommend!
Food was very good. There is a whole Vegan menu which really suited my partner. She loved her food too and there was loads of it. There was live music, a solo guitarist/singer who was very very good. Perfect atmosphere. Price was good. Will be back.
