You fortunate folks can dine or drink at The Swift Carrickfergus for breakfast, lunch or dinner and each menu, as we said, is laced with quality. The food is internationally-inspired but sways towards being mainly British, meaning more classic dishes than you can shake a stick at make up the a la carte menu. We’re big fans of the lamb tomahawks that’ll arrive at your table with a polenta crust, minted peas and mash. The duck breast is also a dream, owing to its curious but wonderful chilli and pineapple salsa accompaniment. The Swift Carrickfergus won’t disappoint – it’s one of your best dining options around.
