Carriageswww.nigoodfood.com | Guide 2013 63WOWCheck out thedisplay of originaladvertising postersThis train-themed restaurant is something of a local institution.There are original train seats and windows as well as carriagebooths, hence the name. But it’s not all style over substance. Thisfamily-run place started out as a pizzeria 25 years ago and nowserves super steaks and gorgeous gammon.We love that they source as many local ingredients as possible.Like all the cool places these days, they have their own restaurantgarden. The team of chefs cures their own bacon on the premises,age their own steaks and make their own corned beef andsausages.They’ve got a new midweek menu with scrummy offerings likesliced Irish ham in parsley and cheese sauce and a massive Ulsterfry. If it’s just a quick snack you’re after, you HAVE to have thebarley winter vegetable broth. It tastes like your Granny’s.Granny might have made a similar apple crumble, but even shemay not have matched the hot cinnamon roulade. It’s a spiceddelight.£Get there: 105, Main Street, Larne, Co.
