The Cellar Restaurant at the GlenavonHotel in Cookstown is one of mid-Ulster’s best eateries in ouropinion.The chef isn’t shy when it comes to adventurous flavourcombinations. He paired the Griddled Seskinore Lamb Koftawith Cous Cous and Mint raita and it really worked. We adored theMcAtamney’s Medallions of Beef with red onion marmalade, bluecheese croute and a mini bucket of chips. And who wouldn’t loveMoneymore leek risotto?We can’t guarantee that’s what you’ll get when you visit, though.They change the menus with the seasons and decide what dishesto put on depending on what’s available from local producers. Welike their style!Don’t worry if your tastes tend to the more traditional. The Sundaycarvery in the Grill is so popular they have two sittings withbooking essential. The cute booth seating is an extra nice touch.Get there: 52 Drum Road, Cookstown, Co Tyrone, BT808QSGet in touch: t: 028 867 64949 e: info@glenavonhotel.co.ukw: www.glenavonhotel.co.uk
