Overall Value: FANTASTIC lunch spot when visiting Giant's Causeway. Local and fresh ingredients for some of the best grilled cheeses we ever had, plus amazing desserts, plus unique coffees/drinks, all at a very reasonable price. When factoring price, this was easily one of our favorite food spots during our entire trip. Do yourself a favor and skip the overpriced restaurants, and walk/drive the 30 seconds from Giant's Causeway to Maegden for lunch when visiting.
The Food: We got the Maegden Mix grilled cheese with corndale salami (£7) and the Smoky Special grilled cheese (smoked cheddar with Corndale chorizo and red pepper/chilli chutney, £7.50). The grilled cheeses were phenomenal. The ingredients were all so fresh and high quality, it really was one of the best grilled cheeses I have ever had, with perfect mixture of crunch brown crust and overflowing gooey cheese. The Smoky Special also had a delightful kick to it, and really stood out. The grilled cheeses also came with a side of homemade pickles - we picked jalapenos and pickled watermelon. I have never had pickled watermelon before, but my mind was blown - such a unique, awesome flavor.
The grilled cheese were so good, we also opted for dessert and got the ice cream "slider", which is ice cream in between two chocolate chip cookies topped with fudge and toasted marshmellow. (£4.50). Wow. There was a whole lot going on there. The ice cream is so rich and flavorful, and the combination of flavors really impressed us. A big slider, definitely enough for two to share (although it gets a bit messy).
We also got Pineapple chilli soda (£2.50) and Golden Latte (blend of tumeric, cacao, coconut, and vanilla, £3.20) to drink. The Golden Latte was interesting and delicious - the tumeric really came through in a nice way that I had not experienced before in a drink. The chilli in the pineapple chilli soda was a little bit more subtle than I expected. It was a refreshing drink, just a little underwhelming based on the description.
Space and Pace: This is a foodtruck located in a field, less than a minute drive from Giant's Causeway. There are plenty of benches for seating. All the food/drinks are made to order, so it takes a few minutes to actually be served. Absolutely worth it!
Service: Really friendly and patient with our questions, with great recommendations. read more
