The story
Mill Race Restaurant sits inside the historic Dunadry Hotel & Gardens near Templepatrick. The building retains original stonework and timber beams from its days as a linen mill, creating a grounded backdrop for modern Irish cuisine. The kitchen prepares a rotating seasonal menu that prioritises locally sourced produce. Diners experience straightforward techniques applied to fresh regional ingredients.
A dedicated pastry chef manages the sweet station, crafting desserts that complement the main savoury plates. The culinary team maintains strict quality standards across all Irish dishes, which earned the establishment an AA Rosette for culinary excellence. This recognition highlights the consistent execution of each seasonal course rather than fleeting trends.
Guests select between the main restaurant floor or the Copper Bar for evening drinks beside the fireplace. The Garden Lounge provides a quieter setting for afternoon tea and lighter meals throughout the day. Every area upholds the same focus on table service and attentive pacing, regardless of the chosen venue.
