Cheap and Cheerful shame about the weekend crowd 13th September 2008

0 found this helpful

Fantasic location, smack bang right in the middle of High Street in Carrickfergus. Food served is basic and not exactly cooked to Gordon Ramsey standards but is perfectly edible, and for the price there is definately no place for complaints. Drink prices are simply the cheapest in the area, usualy by a huge margin per round. As such though, this is where the problem comes in. At the weekends especially the crowd can be rough, get in before 9 o'clock for a cheap family meal you'll be fine. Any time after this be aware there may be intimdating crowds of 18 - 21 year olds outside and the odd scuffle breaking out with Bouncers.Check out the mid week offers like Curry nights or Steak night - fantastic value for money for a quick cheap and hassle free mid week family meal. The Desert range is not amazing though, and perhaps could be expanded

The Central Bar 29th August 2008

Weatherspoons openned in Carrickfergus a few years back in what was (and still is) the Central Bar. It's right on the High Street so couldn't be more convenient.
Best enjoyed when you can avail of some of their promotions on both meals and drinks and these tend to be ongoing so watch out for them.
Food tends to be Canteen like; nothing to rave about but usually perfectly edible. It's really typical of all the Weatherspoon bars all over the country. you either love them or hate them!
