What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Lorna's Kitchen is lauded for its delicious, homemade food, generous portions, and friendly service, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Many visitors praise the authentic local experience and great value for money. However, a few negative reviews point to rude staff and disappointing food quality, particularly regarding pizzas.
"This is truly the most amazing place in Bushmills! It's a charming little spot that serves incredible food and opens bright and early in the morning, making it perfect for an early start to your day. The pancakes were absolutely delicious, topped with fresh bananas and cream that made each bite a heavenly experience.
The coffee was just as delightful, perfectly brewed and paired with some tasty chips that complemented the drink beautifully.
And the cherry on top? It’s super affordable! You really get great value for your money here. Don’t think twice—make sure to stop by this gem; you won’t be disappointed!"

"Best cafe around. This is a hidden gem in the North Coast. Run by locals too, which makes it more than special. The place is spotless and has its own character. The tables are always clean and the servers are always friendly and chatty. Food always arrives promptly and is excellent value for money. I can recommend the cooked breakfasts and their afternoon meals as well. Anyone who provides a negative review about this lovely little cafe, quite simply has no taste. Thank you Lorna and staff for making my visits extra special and see you in a number of weeks."
Richard Bannister
"The food was pass-able. The burger tasted like food service burger. The chicken burger was freezer to fryer. The saucy bird was okay but needed more sauce. The bangers and mash were okay. The people were very nice, but I wouldn't consider this a must-stop."
