Dining on the Antrim Coast
Relaxed and stylish dining at Ballygally Castle
Set within the original 17th-century walls, The Garden Restaurant offers a tranquil dining experience, where the freshest local produce is thoughtfully prepared and beautifully served. Whether you choose from our seasonal bistro or table d’hôte menus, each dish reflects the natural abundance of our coastline and countryside. As one of the finest places to eat on the Antrim coast, Sunday Lunch in the Kintyre Ballroom is a cherished tradition, complete with hearty roasts and all the trimmings.
For a gentler pace, Afternoon Tea in the Lounge brings together dainty sandwiches, warm scones, and delicate pastries – the perfect accompaniment to a quiet afternoon by the sea. Or perhaps a light lunch or indulgent treat, enjoyed at your leisure.
For special gatherings, private dining in the atmospheric Room 1625 offers a setting full of character which is ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, christenings, or any of life’s meaningful moments. For those seeking something truly memorable, a medieval banquet within our ancient walls adds a distinctive flourish to any celebration with a unique nod to the castle’s storied past.
Please note, pre-booking is essential for Afternoon Tea, and bookings must be made at least 24 hours prior to arrival.
