The place was recommended to us by several locals, and we headed up on a short trek from Ballygally. The food here is HOMEMADE. Everything was fresh. Nothing had been frozen or bought prepackaged in bulk. The mashed potatoes were fresh and homemade--not from a bag--and the chips (fries) were hand-cut and fresh as well. We both had the Guinness Pie, and it was quite a treat. I'd highly recommend the place if you are in the area!

Watch your head, unless you're as short as I am. We were on the CIE Scots Irish tour. We somehow got a table directly next to the band and had a wonderful time, let folks come and sit with us, got Guinness with Blackcurrant (which depending on who you ask is WRONG ... I thought it was fun). We had a BBQ buffet dinner that was good with plenty of food. They let us take home our placemats which are maps of Ireland. Also, there was a gift shop with some lovely items that came home with us, as well.

This pub has been standing since the 17th Century, they know a thing or two about hospitality. Our party of five made ourselves cozy in the sessions corner as the pub keeper offered to light a peat moss fire for our comfort. They sell tee-shirts and tourist patronize this place, on account of it being a very old, beautiful Irish pub, but there were a few locals enjoying a pint when we stopped in. One of the owners is American, and I was surprised to see JFK Memorabilia in the smaller room. They have antique oil lamps, old firearms and assorted things on display for patrons to muse. They proudly serve Bushmills and even their own brand of Crosskeys Whisky, but I got a gin and tonic and enjoyed the Northern Irish craic that was on full supply on this June day.

We came for breakfast last week and if I reviewed after that I'd have given it 3.5 stars. The service was slow and the girl wasn't hugely friendly. When Col suggested we come for dinner, I kinda wrinkled my nose, and reluctantly agreed. What a different experience. The staff were lovely, friendly and pleasant. We had a bit of a hiccup with some vaguely pink chicken in our kids meal - which I didn't make a fuss about, just mentioning it in passing to the waitress, and suddenly we had apologies galore, the kids meal was comped and we were offered a free dessert! What service!! Child had chicken and pasta, hubby had a Kentucky burger or something that had 2 full portions of meat (chicken and pulled pork) on a bap, and I had 2 courses from their Christmas menu, soup - with some incredible Guinness wheaten and a roast beef dinner - the chicken and bacon stuffing was fab! Tried the Jaffa cake gelato and the 3 of us loved it too. We'll be back!

The tables by the entrance are the best but don't be fooled by the small appearance its like Dr who's tardis as the space through the next set of doors there's a massive room for dining or dancing. You have to park in a car park on the opposite side of the road which is a bit inconvenient but its just added character and the food was nice too. We'd love to go back sometime soon .

As for the food, we have eaten in a lot of places in a number of countries but this was as good as anything we have come acrooss. And the finishing touch was dining beside the huge log fire on a freezing winter night. It was so good that we went back another couple of times during our week's stay. We are going ti Ireland again shortly on holiday and Saltwater Brig will be our number one priority for another visit. We were back in Ireland for another holiday in November. The Saltwater Brig was top of our agenda for a return visit.......and we weren't disappointed. Once again everything about it was superb - the beautiful location beside Strangford Lough, the cosy surroundings and the welcoming staff (especially Olive who is the friendliest waitress you could meet). Then there is the food. The extensive menu is fantastic and we cannot speak highly enough of its quality, and all very reasonably priced. If you enjoy "a taste of Ulster" put The Saltwater Brig on your MUST VISIT list. We guarantee you will love it.
