Tesco Extra in Carrick is highly recommended for its spacious layout and well-stocked shelves. Customers praise the large Jaffa oranges as the sweetest and juiciest they've had in a long time. The staff, particularly Lisa in the fruit department, are exceptionally helpful. This store offers a great selection of household items, clothes, and groceries at good prices. It is accessible, clean, well-lit, and usually busy except during midweek shopping hours.
Great fry and toast and tea. Just over £8. You cannot beat the quality anywhere for this price.
Gavin G — Google review
The Store Layout is rubbish. I hate shopping in Tesco now. It just does not flow right. The freezers and chillers should be at the tills. The only way to logically shop is anticlockwise to end at freezer chillers. Add in the fact that Cards and Flowers / Gifts should all be together. Not opposite ends of the store. The old store layout was better as you actually went round more Aisles now there are dead zones where very few people venture making purchases and footfall from those aisles likely lower. A rejig defo needed because ease of shopping and flow trumps analytics. If you want to keep customers coming back you got keep them happy. This layout does not.
Kenny B — Google review
Did you pick the new aisle order out of a hat? There's absolutely no order to the store at the minute. The signs at the end of aisles don't help. Some aisles can only fit one trolley at a time. I advise people go to sainsburys instead.
Zoe N — Google review
Normally easy enough to find your desired item of purchase, and prices aren't too bad. Regularly stores items for that time of year for eg. School clothes, Halloween stuff, Christmas stuff, etc etc. Staff are friendly and can help direct you to anything you are looking for. The store also includes a specsavers area, a small upstairs café, toilet facilities and a bakery area, and an area where you can print off photos. Overall I would give the shop a 4.6/5 rating.
Noah — Google review
The best tesco in Carrick. Lots of room walking round and very well stocked shelves. I can absolutely recommend the large Jaffa oranges. They firm but yet ripe and soft inside, the sweetest, juiciest oranges I've tasted in a long time in fact since I worked on a farm in Israel 20 years ago. The staff are exceptionally helpful especially Lisa in the fruit department.

They have installed £1 coin onto trolleys, yet they will not supply any plastic coin to use when at the store. Most people don’t carry cash these days! When asking about the plastic coin, I was told to buy some scratch cards and he will add a £1 cashback! Seriously. Carrickfergus get a grip of your store, worst Tesco I have ever been in.

VERY VERY bad customer service. We had bought a curtain and it was not the right size. I had the receipt also to return it. They insisted they cannot take it back for no obvious reason … You will lose your customers with such a BAD service. I will return it to another Tesco

I've been to alot of shops but poundland in carrickfergus is by far the worst. Where to start? The shelves are constantly having gaps. Nothing ever seems to be tidied. The shop is just a mix and match half the time. The vape oils are all over the show. The fridges are a mess even early in the morning. You never see any staff on the floor unless it's coming to closing time. Only good thing I've seen is the staff on tills

We had a fantastic dining experience at this restaurant with beautiful views overlooking the Harbour. The white New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc was crisp and refreshing—an excellent pairing for my perfectly baked halibut. My partner had the short ribs and raved about how tender and flavourful they were. The dessert menu offered plenty of tempting options; we shared the Neapolitan sliders and the meringue dessert—both were delicious and beautifully presented. A great spot for a memorable meal with both stunning scenery and standout food.

Hi all I will always give a honest opinion and point out some minor faults Saturday night myself and two others arrived around 7pm no bookings required just turn up, 5min wait to your table very quick , Remember your seated outside so all foods and beverages is brought out you. Good points Food was tremendous hot not over cooked loved it . The batter on the fish was perfect and not greasy like other places ☺️👍 was just enough ,my two college 👍 Drinks Nice pint went down a treat Bad point Waited 20-30 mins for drinks a few cross wires on who was bringing them to you so didn't arrive together 😞 did notice a few time others that were in after us were served drinks before you .worth sorting out the little snags Finally All in all had a lovely night out and would recommend the Wind rose to everyone 👍😀

The Harbour Brewers Fayre is a delightful family-friendly pub and restaurant chain that offers a relaxed atmosphere perfect for enjoying classic dishes alongside international favorites. Located in Carrickfergus, this eatery boasts stunning views of the harbor, enhancing your dining experience. The menu features popular items like the Beer-Battered Haddock & Chips, which is highly recommended by Head Chef Michael. While the food may not be Michelin-star quality, it certainly delivers on taste and generous portions.
I usually have regular Fish n chips on Fridays, I can confidently say this is the best Fish n Chips I've had by far. The atmosphere, ambiance and music at just the right music to be enjoyable while having a conversation is a plus. The staff here is welcoming and helpful. The Value Meals are affordable for a weekday lunch. I've enjoyed by experience here.

went for dinner and got the lasagne with chips and honestly it was disgusting, it looked like tomato soup with a lump of cheese in it. the food is very poor it did not look like lasagne at all, it was more like a cheap ready meal. The service from staff was not great when ordering food the staff member was very abrupt and rude. The toilets in the place have no doors/locks on them and the water is boiling which is definitely not suitable for children.

Table of 4 in for Sunday carvery at 2pm (carvery is serving until 6pm). By this stage they have ran out of all meat apart from gamon and most sides were cold or missing. Each pina colada we got had different measures and did not look the same, very little consistency. Man on the bar lost his till card every time we went up to order so each order took a while....

Had a fantastic time here today. Our little dog Harvey loved it all and was made very welcome, given a treat and dog bowl of water. My husband who is in a wheelchair also loved being out and we all loved our delicious meals. Very good food and excellent staff who made the visit for us.

Love the atmosphere of Ownies and service was great, we hadn't booked and it was no issue at all. Staff incredibly friendly. The vegan burger is very mushy texture wise and I couldn't finish it unfortunately. The chips were delicious. Would still come back to try the vegan lasagna however.

A varied menu with reasonable prices. Food quality is excellent. Because of this, the restaurant part of this establishment gets filled pretty quickly at dinner time - better book your table before heading over to this pub. If you are willing to pass the time over a pint before your meal, there are plenty of seats at the bar area. The decor and the atmosphere are similar to the Belfast venues Ben Madigan's and the Benedicts sans the loud music in the latter.

We have been to ownies a few times. Like how the vegetarian chips etc is cooked in separate fryers from the fish/ meat. Food was tasty, although the burger bap was processed. Creme brulee was a bit of a mess. Was just like a massive bowl of custard, wasn't 'crispy' on top like it should be. Dog friendly which is fab, although they aren't allowed upstairs only downstairs which is a shame as a different menu. Would I go back? Yes off course!

Had lunch there today. My friend ordered a chicken burger - cut it in half and it was pink and raw in middle. We sent it back. They brought out another one and halfway through eating it discovered it was bloody. Told waitress who informed us that chef had checked temperature on it and it would be safe to eat. Needless to say my friend didn’t eat it as she’d lost her appetite. To add insult to injury they made us pay for the burger only knocking fifteen percent off bill. My friend couldn’t eat her burger! Unless you want salmonella avoid avoid avoid!!

Had to repost, due to it not showing up on the reviews, why?!!! Don't know, maybe too many stars, 😉 Relaxing time, as called in for a meal with my wife, we were seated, and offered the menu, and asked if we would like to order some beverages. Really courteous and polite.My wife ordered the mocka, or fake cocktail, myself a coke with blackcurrant, really refreshing. For the mains, a Caesar salad , and the chicken stack with BBQ sauce. Both delicious, and tender pieces of chicken. The salad had square potatoes and maple bacon included. Really filling and well satisfying. As we visit a quite a few times, we are never disappointed. The menu has a lot to offer, and worth a visit.

Really pity about this place. Been a while back and food wasn't great, met friend here again and the food looked great, what a disappointment. The grease was just too much. Lovely chicken wrapped destroyed by deep fired battered chicken that the grease was still oozing from the batter and the garlic fries was just garlic butter put on top of what looked and tasted like 2nd time in the frier that there was little to no potato in the fries just pots of grease, couldn't eat them and left most of the wrap too. Coleslaw was good, service was excellent, food big let down.

Food was OK, nobody was 'wowed' and we wouldn't hurry back for a while, but we will return, we always do! Portions were too big, if that can be a complaint! Burgers were impossible to lift and eat. Mixed grill was poor - medium steak came well done and very tough and chewy, even though it was a thing slice, most of it was left, pork sausage was poor also. Deserts were good as was the service.

Took this place in in passing for the first time last week and really loved it. The decor is fine, nothing special but it's a nice enough place to sit, the booths are nice and there is a decent amount of space and comfort. The staff were mostly on the younger side and both helpful and friendly, so it is a pleasure to visit. As for the food itself it was great and a real standout. I got the chicken burger and it was simply one of the best Ive had in a while. Looking forward to calling back in here when next out that way!

Hadn't been here in years, yet decided to go for a meal, as heard it had changed. My wife ordered the fish and chips, it came with garden peas, as she would have preferred mushy, myself ordered the ribs with chicken, which was served with a side of chips or french fries, it also had coleslaw and sauce, and corn on the cob. The ribs were really fatty, and a bit chewy on some, even though there was not as many as I anticipated. The chicken was coated a light batter, not as tender as expected. Onion rings were ok, I know I'm sounding like a critic but you want to hear about the experience, but it was still enjoyable, if it makes sense, but not as what it was years ago. The wife's fish, wasn't straight from the sea experience, as was probably from the fridge or freezer, but still she enjoyed it. Not as good as it was, but hopefully it will be.

To put in in one word: cute! This is by far the smallest Wetherspoon I have ever been to! Not like to big, crowded once you are used to! But: Service was perfect! Food was good! Right in the middle of town, less than 5 min walk from the castle. Inside and some outside seating! Highly recommend!

Visited Sunday evening. Some items on the menu and some tap beers at the bar were not available. What was available, was prepared or poured correctly. Prices are still keen, albeit after the covid lockdowns the menu has become less interesting: some Asian additions and some European removals. The Gourmet Steak meal is greatly missed. Working hours are being quietly shortened: the food used to be available until 11 pm, now if you walk in after 9:30pm, you chance a partial or complete unavailability of menu choices.

Very good place to visit. Well situated on the Antrim coast road at Carrickfergus. Lovely views of the sea and castle from the upstairs room. Good selection of real ales and drinks with a very good food menu served by helpful and friendly staff. We enjoyed a really nice curry there last week. Nice surroundings with the castle and harbour to visit, coastal walks and some interesting shops. Would suit family groups. Strongly recommend.

The staff at Witherspoons Carrickfergus are great, but unfortunately, the food has gone downhill fast, from being alright to quite bad. I used to look forward to going there for breakfast every day, especially since I suffer from critical heart failure and it's one of the few opportunities I have to get out of the house

For me the best tasting chippy around! The team are always busy but are always so efficient and attentive. The collect service is also very well organised with orders always being on time and accurate! Thank you 🙏

While others are fighting for the top spot there is some competition for the worst chippie in Northern Ireland. You'd be excused to probably believe a place in Carrickfergus could make chips but no, these are what I can only class as minging. Stuck together sweaty oily mess. A mere smattering of them too alongside 2 dried up sausages that look like they've been out all day. £7+ for this???? Should be utterly ashamed. Avoid like a thing you'd not want to be near.

The Glasshouse Bistro Carrickfergus is a charming eatery situated in the vibrant heart of Carrickfergus, within the Museum and Civic Centre. This bistro offers a warm and inviting ambiance, perfect for enjoying delightful meals on comfortable leather sofas or at dining tables. Guests can indulge in an array of delicious options, from homemade tray bakes to hearty lunches and freshly brewed coffee.
This is situated at the back of the Carrickfergus civic and museum centre, and we came across it whilst making a brief stop for lunch before catching a ferry. Three of us opted for the Glasshouse no meat fry and it was absolutely delicious!! The soda and potato bread was especially good. The young man who served us was lovely and we were happy to have accidentally discovered this place and enjoy a great meal in a great space. Whilst here, we also popped in to the museum in the same building.

We are a group of friends that meet for coffee, lunch, dinner, theatre trips etc and this week had the misfortune to have lunch in glasshouse bistro. Staff are fine, meals are just adequate but our experience this Wednesday was unbelievable. We had mostly finished when one of our number found a thin grey slug like creature crawling up her water glass. We called the member of staff who removed glass and replaced and seemed quite uncomfortable - we were then dealt with by manager/owner who basically said it wasn’t from the salad as everything is washed! The feeling was that we were disbelieved! No reduction or replacement was offered - to be honest no one wanted more food anyhow and discount was the last thing on our mind although in the end one was reluctantly given to the person on whose glass the slug was found, 50% ‘as you ate half your meal’. I held back, eventually going to the counter to pay and reiterating to the cashier that we wouldn't be back. Clearly they didnt care. I pointed out that I conduct external quality assurance for a number of awarding bodies/qualifications. I dont deal with catering qualifications but I do deal with customer service ones and am always looking for examples of both good and bad customer service that tutors can use with students, mature and young people, employees and college students. So congratulations Glasshouse - your response to our situation will now become both a case study and a discussion point - anonymised of course (but how many small privately run cafes are there in tourist facilities in Carrickfergus) - of how not to deal with a bunch of feisty retired ladies with reasonable disposable income who find a 5cm grey slug on one of their water glasses! The owner/manager clearly was not interested either when dealing with the individual concerned or when sitting drinking coffee, listening to my confirmation that we will not be back - the cashier suggested I went up to her and spoke! Sorry - I am not standing in front of a seated, disinterested manager, wasting my time when we were the customers - remember them? We essentially keep your business going with our custom. No longer at the glasshouse I am afraid

It used to be OK but in the last couple of months it's got very poor, I stopped buying from them but tried ordering from the place again just to see if they'd improve, unfortunately not the food is slop, you're paying more now for less quality, I ended up throwing most of the chips in the bin and the burgers weren't finished by all three of us as they were quite bad. Won't be ordering again, deleting the app now, unfortunately it's are local but they are really slow delivering and the standards are gone and poor, they need to work on improving but I've given the place a chance and that's me finished.

Surprising ended up being quite good. Couldn't hear what the guy said behind the screen as he was a) behind a screen and b) music was too loud. He also ignored all the meal deals and tried to charge me £9 more than he needed to. Final negative... He said it would be 15 minutes and it was more like 25. However, the pizzas were delicious... Especially the vegan one. I think in future deffo buy online on the app. They were flat out in there but in the 35 mins I was in the store apart from delivery drivers I was the only customer, yet the orders kept rolling in and pizza after pizza was being made. I had a look at the app, looks easy to use and easy to sort the deals. Delivery fee looks reasonable too.

All sauces have changed, prices are far too expensive for the quantity and quality of food you get. No flavour in gravy, the honey chilli sauce is like sweet vinegar, the curry is okay but also quite flavourless. Fried rice is like a mixture between mushy boiled rice with a touch of soy sauce. Starters are nearly £7, ribs are freezing with no taste. Never again, worst Chinese about.

For many years, I had been ordering from the same pizza place until a couple of weeks ago when I decided to try Simply Pizza. Since then, I have never looked back. Being a fan of mushrooms, I always paid extra for more mushrooms at my previous pizza place but would receive only one measly mushroom that was barely noticeable on the pizza. However, with Simply Pizza, not only is their pizza $9 cheaper but it is also generously topped with fresh and abundant mushrooms.
Just had one of the most amazing pizza experiences, 'simply pizza ' Carrickfergus, and I'm not sure I'd want to share, as it's a pizza you'd want to keep for yourself. Ordering was so customer easy and friendly, as they tell you how long before it'll be ready for collection. It's a family run business, and it's run to a tee. As everyone is in sync with eachother. Fresh dough, freshly made pizza, and friendly service. We ordered a 16inch pepperoni, and it was absolutely delicious. Every bite was worth the journey, and I must say, if you don't give it a go, then it'll be your loss. Value and quality, is what you get, but if you don't taste, then you can only imagine. So if you want proof of the experience, then call in, but it would be better to phone order in first, as it's guaranteed to be really busy.

Parked up at Carrick castle car park in the motorhome, we decided to get pizza as we always like to support local businesses at any town we stay over. Read the reviews of "Simply pizza" and that was the one. Called in to order, really friendly staff. They were so busy, phone call after phone call. They are also well staffed and took my order right away. Told me it will be 30 mins. Come back 30 mins later and my pizza was just being took out of the pizza oven. Never seen a "20 pizza before and it looked so good. Back to motorhome and my family and I loved every bit of it. We got the Mr. Meaty and even my son who has autism and is really picky what he will eat want to try it cos of the size of the pizza. " We had to tell him it was just pepperoni" after he tried it, he wants a 2nd slice. We was shocked and happy as it so hard to get him to try new things. One of the best pizzas I have had and I have tried pizza from a lot of towns all over NI. would 100% be in my top 3, if not top 2!. If you have not tried simply pizza, do so and U will not be sorry.

Myself and my family are regular customers of this place. Simply is usually lovely, possibly the best in Carrickfergus. Although we got an order for 3 12 inch pizzas and a 9 inch. When we received the order, some of the pizzas had hardly any cheese. While eating the food there was a terrible taste especially of the dough, it tasted like it was going off. This is unusual for simply. Pizzas weren't enjoyed and felt like a waste of £35 as all 4 pizzas tasted terrible. Everyone is feeling a bit sick after the food we ate. Again a regular customer for over 20 years, disappointed.

I rarely rate places on Google, but this place deserves it: My friends and I are from Germany and came over to explore Belfast and it's surroundings (Carrickfergus is a neat little place and the castle is so cool!). We found this restaurant after visiting the castle and having a walk and we loved everything about it! The hospitality, the taste of the food and the choices on the buffet! Definitely worth a visit!

Diner
American restaurant
Breakfast restaurant
Located in Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland, Springsteens Diner has been a beloved family restaurant since its establishment in 2006. With over 20 years of experience, they have been serving delicious American cuisine. The diner is known for its welcoming and home-like atmosphere, making it a favorite spot for locals and travelers alike. The friendly staff adds to the overall dining experience, ensuring that every visit is memorable.
I absolutely love to come to Springsteens Diner, whenever my partner and I travel to Ireland. This has to be our favourite restaurant over here. However, for over 20 years they have been serving American based food and I cannot be disappointed. Firstly, credit goes to the fabulous team that work here. You make everything easy and taste delicious. In addition, i love how everything about the lay out and how it feels home-like. Secondly, the food was perfect! Most of the food items come with a side (read the menu to make sure). I got myself “the firebird burger” and the bacon mac and cheese. The burger was really good and was well constructed and the mac and cheese was creamy and such a delightful meal. Finally, their current cocktail of the week a mango, peach and strawberry daiquiri was absolutely beautiful! Not just from presentation but with blasting taste too! If I did live in Ireland, I would come here every day to eat. Thank you so much for the experience 💙

My wife and I had lunch today . We were greeted politely and promptly by Dean, (waiter). Although we had not made a booking, we were shown directly to our seats. Our drinks orders were taken and we were given the (very extensive) menus. Our drinks were served, and food orders taken. The restaurant was reasonably busy, but the staff were coping extremely professionally. Our food order was served. The food was very well presented, hot and flavoursome. The staff were attentive throughout our visit, (not overbearing), with exceptional manners. A special mention for Dean, who was a true professional throughout. A very enjoyable experience, and we will certainly be returning in the near future. Thank you.

What an absolute gem! I just happened to find this place on google maps while on holiday in the area and I’m very glad I did. We only stayed for 5 days but ate here 3 times. I didn’t even get a photo of the evening meal here as it was too good to wait around for. Breakfast is served until 3pm which is super handy if like me, you’re not a morning person. Portion sizes were brilliant, you would never be leaving still hungry. The staff were all super friendly and welcoming and the food was 10/10 too. Highly recommend this place but I just wish it was closer to home.

Springsteens is one of my favourite places to eat. I have never had a bad meal there yet in all the years I have been going there. I used to work in the area and when I moved jobs I really missed eating there as often as I used to. Every time I am in Carrick I make a point of going for something to eat in Springstees. The diner looks great inside, it has a retro American feel. The staff are also lovely and very friendly. The food there is amazing! Again it has a US style feeling, they really do it well. Springsteens really impressed me, it made a lasting impression.

Creed Coffee Carrickfergus is a charming little coffee shop that has quickly become a favorite for many locals.

The café also offers an impressive selection of coffees, teas, cakes, and pastries at reasonable prices.
I have lived in carrick for 25 years and this was definitely the best fry I have ever had in the area. The ingredients were noticeably better than other eatery’s and it was cooked to perfection which I value the most. It was a little bit more expensive than others but you get what you pay for. I will bring the family with next time to try other items on the menu.

Staff were super helpful and friendly. When we came in it was busy and initially thought we may struggle to get seated. As another party left staff were straight over to clear the table for us to sit down together with high chairs available. When ordering staff were extremely helpful with accommodating my plain palette. Portion sizes can’t be complained about and everyone left full. Toilets were basic enough but had a baby change table on the wall which is always a plus.

Only go cos it's local... Usually only swim but tried the "spa"... We followed the receptionists instructions to scan our ticket which led us into the gym area and we ended up getting lost. Felt told off when redirected by another staff member. The open stairs to the pool don't feel "safe" can't imagine how anyone with disability uses spa N pool easily.

I loved this beautiful place with it's great amenities when it opened, and for years afterwards, and am a member. But now, the members showers have a door off, no soap in the dispensers, and none of the hairdryers are working!! And this has been the case for quite some time, there's a lot of talk in the place from members that they are totally dissatisfied with the upkeep of the place. Perhaps joining a private concern will be our choice.

I am making a complaint about the man who claimed he was the manager in the carrickfergus store in the decorcey centre on Saturday afternoon 8th February 2020 at approximately 1630hours. I was with my husband shopping for a few things an I had picked up a glass tap decanter as I was wanting to purchase it. I had other items including a mop and bucket I used my bucket as a basket and didn't realise the glass decanter was a little heavy for it and as I picked it up it tipped and the glass fell and smashed. I was extremely embarrassed by this! I stood by the glass as my husband went quickly to get someone. A tall guy arrived completely blanked me and started to clear the glass. I apologised and he still ignored me I then offered to pay for the item anyway as it cost five pounds. He still completely ignored me he did not look at me, speak to me or acknowledge me in any way. I have never experienced this and have never broken anything in a shop before! I said to my husband to leave down the other things as I wasn't shopping there as the attitude was horrible to which the guy then had a voice and said why I told him the way he treated me was awful and the attitude towards someone who had made a mistake and offered to pay was disgusting. He said I never said anything! To which I said exactly you completely blanked me. To which he then said I was disgusting! I told him I would be in touch with his manager to which he told me he was the manager! I have came away from the experience appalled at the customer service and how I was treated because of an honest mistake. I feel that you need to be aware of the service in that particular shop as its quiet enough and if this guy was the actual manager I would suggest he be trained on communication skills. This is not the example to set to the rest of the staff. Needless to say I or my husband will not be back to this particular shop any time soon.

Now I just used contact-less. Not once but many times with Similar situation. The woman called Lynne never change, still racism and with a lousy attitude.

This restaurant is at the waterfront and harbour at Carrickfergus. The restaurant is nicely decorated and comfortable. On this occasion we were there around 6pm on a Sunday and although we had not booked they fitted us in. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The menu offers a great choice including daily specials, summer slimming menu, wide choice of drinks. I had the slow cooked beef in a hot and spicy noodle dish which was brilliant. My wife had the chicken goujons with salad and sweet potato fries, the fries where the best we have ever had. Prices vary for main courses from about £9 upwards.

We went for what should have been a lovely meal. Burger was overdone with a soggy salad, chicken was really tough and we had to send the risotto back as it was sloppy and looked like someone had thrown up on the plate. When we raised this with the staff, they were quite defensive and offered a measly 10% off the bill (as goodwill!) or a free desert which we declined. She eventually took 1 meal off the bill after I explained for the fourth time that the food was really bad and I would be writing a review to reflect the service we had received. We are not the sort of people to complain in a restaurant but it was so bad, we had to say something. There was no apology or acknowledgement, just a defensive response which was disappointing. The only good thing about the meal was the prosecco. Won't ever be back. Not surprised the place isn't busy! On the plus side the location is good and the restaurant is clean but the lack of good food and friendly service really lets the place down. Such a shame as it should be a great place to go.

"The Secret Bookshelf" is a charming independent bookshop located in Newtownabbey, offering a wide selection of books spread across four distinct rooms. Customers often praise the knowledgeable and friendly owners, Jo and Chris, who provide excellent customer service. The shop features separate sections for gifts, children's and young adult books, bargain finds, and a geek-den. Additionally, they offer book searching services, book ordering options, bespoke book hampers, as well as accepting and selling national book tokens.
Best bookshop in the North, the whole of Ireland? I wouldn't doubt it. I asked a local if there was a book shop in the town and he directed me here. I love bookshops and the secret bookshelf (love the name) was glorious. Picked-up a signed Olivia Laing and Michael Rosen from their bargain shelves for a very reasonable price. The lovely staff even threw in a free tote bag. Great atmosphere. Well stocked. A very excellent, happy place 😊

They are so knowledgeable too, and go out of their way to help when you’re hunting for something obscure. They have so much variety packed in to a cosy and welcoming little book cave, even with a section of used books and a children’s corner. Wouldn’t go anywhere else for books.

This is my absolute favourite bookshop. Everyone is so friendly and there's a fantastic range of books to choose from, with every budget catered for. Happened to mention on one of their posts that I was excited about the book they had mentioned being published and they offered to keep a copy aside. There's an excellent range of events, too. And on a sunny day, there's a lovely space to sit outside with your purchases (and maybe a coffee from one the cafes beside them).

In addition to a nice selection of books, they stock an array of items that make for interesting gifts so it's worthwhile calling in to The Secret Bookshelf anytime you're in Carrickfergus. On a personal note, they stock some notebooks (Flame Tree Journals - Artisan range) that I love so I make it a point to call in once in a blue moon to get a new one. Or two. Or three. 🙃

An absolute Aladdin's cave for bookworms. There's not a single inch in the place that doesn't have books in or on it. Fantasy, horror, history, geography, autobiography etc etc and a whole room just cramped full of children/teen books. The staff are amazingly helpful and super friendly. If they haven't got the book you're looking for they'll order it in. You could literally spend hours in here 😊. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Fantastic fish and chips from a spotless shop with great friendly service. We were visiting from Melbourne Australia and I must say these were the best fish and chips I’ve ever had anywhere in the world. Defiantly a destination treat.

Would give 0 stars if I could, anemic chips, greasy pitiful fish and overall portion sizes pathetic! Would only recommend if you like over priced, poor quality food and tiny portions. First and last visit for my family!

Convenience store
EUROSPAR Middle Road Carrickfergus is a delightful convenience supermarket that caters to all your everyday needs. This charming store offers a wide range of food, drinks, and household essentials, making it a go-to spot for locals. With its impressive deli counter and butchers, shoppers can find fresh produce and delicious prepared meals to satisfy any craving. The spacious layout ensures an enjoyable shopping experience, while the friendly staff are always ready to assist you with a smile.
I shop at Eurospar @Carrick at least once a week. I first discovered this store when I moved to Carrick and was looking for a post office. Apparently, they have the best post office in the area, according to an award on the wall. I first took it with a pinch of salt but having posted half a dozen parcels, and buying office paper etc from the post office I came to understand they are indeed excellent like no other post office I know. It is about staff who take my business as if it is theirs. Before I moved to Carrickfergus I avoided Eurospar stores because there is Lidl, Tesco Extra and Sainsbury's where I do my shop. However, despite availability of those shops in my town I have become a fan of Carrick Eurospar. This is where I now buy my petrol and I buy my brioches, eggs and milk. They sell local baked products which I am a fan of., local berries in season are amazing. They are the only store within 10 miles distance from home selling Promise gluten free bread which I buy weekly. I enjoy visiting this store because according to my observation, the staff sincerely wants to help each and every customer. Each time I go there I am thinking it was a coincidence that last time that staff was kind to me but they are consistently being the best. I wish we had more stores like Eurospar @Carrick! Whoever is training or hiring staff is a magician.

Great shop but the jet wash is a joke!! Today I had to attempt to jetwash the place before I could use it, the brush had lumps of muck and hay actually stuck to it, had to jet wash the brush, couldn't walk around the car with the sods of muck. Ran out of soap....so often this happens. Shouldn't allow horse boxes or farm machinery to be cleaned in it or someone should be employed to ensure its cleaned after. My car mats were muddy from my feet and the amount of straw stuck to the tyres was unreal. Cost me £6 for a half done job!!! Sort it out please, especially since removing the drive through.

Seriously disappointed with my visit here the other day. Have used this store numerous times and had pleasant staff. Unfortunately this was a totally different experience. I brought my items to one of the cashiers, she scanned them through and as I paid I asked for a receipt as I felt there was something wrong with the transaction. When I got out to my car and looked at the receipt, I had been charged for an apple which I did not purchase ( not sure how this happened as no barcode to scan so had to be keyed in ) I went back in and straight to the same cashier, showed her the receipt and said I hadn't purchased it. She called for someone from the management team and the woman asked did I want the money back in cash or on card. She was very abrupt. I said I had paid cash and she took out small denomination coins and practically shoved them at me without so much as a sorry for the 'mistake' or a smile. Rather poor customer service in my view. Sadly it has put me off going especially since the last few times I've been in the service has been poor. Lots of other stores with higher standards towards their customers.

Well stocked shop, helpful staff. Hate the self check out tills and the congestion they create while queuing for a human cashier. Like a disorganized cattle market at busy times of the day. Puts me off so much i drive to the Centra at Clipperstown now. Less choice but less hassle and a stress free queue pay and go.

Very slow service the staff end up talking to public they know there was no large cups at the coffee machine only medium ones I asked one of the staff members he spend about 20 minutes talking to someone he knew I just walked out and went elsewhere they should have more than one coffee machine for such a big store

I went to Argos at sainsburys to buy a paint roller. They had 5 choices, every one was "order now and collect in 5/6 days! " For something so simple I was having to wait nearly a week on a paint roller. Not very good in my opinion . I also wanted some espresso Glasses these were exactly the same order and collect in 5/6 days. It would be quicker to drive to another Argos or a B&Q store. Not that impressed by such a long wait.
