Whenever I am in Hillsborough for work I love visiting this place for lunch. They are always super friendly and the food is great and really good prices too. Today I had the cheddar, bacon and onion marmalade panini (a favourite of mine) and as usual it didnât disappoint. Definitely give this cute little cafe a try.

Situated at the top of the town in Hillsborough, it's a real treat whether you're visiting the local heritage, or just want some fabulous home cooking with a friendly atmosphere. This is the place to go!!!

This is a place we visit often. The menu is consistently great and the staff wonderful. Tonight was an 86th Birthday Treat for the family Chief and didn't disappoint. Efficient and cheerful service from a great team and again a wonderful varied menu with vegetarian options. They have a great wine list and local beers.

We stopped here for breakfast on 26th January, and it was not a very good experience. We all had the mini breakfast.Where do I startEggs undercooked, bacon way overcooked, sausages tasted like they had been defrosted that morning, potatoe farl undercooked. It was like the worst breakfast I have ever had.Service was also slow.

Approximately 2 miles on the Dromore side from the centre of Hillsborough village, is the beautiful Mill Farm Deli and country apartments. With a beautiful outside dining area and a cottage barn style dining interior, Mill Farm is a piece of peace from breakfast and coffee catch-ups, to a tranquil evening restaurant. Delicious homemade, high quality and affordable food, with detail in presentation is very affordable here, for even the smallest budget. Watch out for the daily specials for that extra treat and enjoy the tranquility and great welcome.

Having visited at Christmas for a function this seemed like a great restaurant to celebrate an engagement and birthday with family. What a bad choice. The evening was ruined by the combined efforts of the staff at the Hillside. 1. The waitress was simply incompetent:- Unable to count past 5 when she was taking the orders from a table of 7;- failed to clear the table of unused wine glasses or other empty glasses/bottles throughout the night;- debated how my wifeâs steak should be cooked - because she thought it was a steak sandwich;- brought chips when a house salad was ordered - because the chef couldnât read her writing, then didnât replace the chips with the missing salad;- spilled a bowl of tobacco onions then giggled, saying âits the thought that countsâ - after a steak was sent back for being improperly cooked she left the side order anyway before being told to take that back until the steak was ready;- left the bill with the guest whoâs birthday was being celebrated, causing some embarrassment as if they were expected to pay.2. The kitchen -- failed to cook any of the 3 steaks correctly. One of these was âmedium/rareâ was cooked âwell doneâ - so not even close to being right. The other 2 were over cooked and should have been returned but we were too generous thinking the meal would otherwise be good;- the Katsu curry (a Japanese meal) was bland, tasteless and served with a poppadom (an Indian side), which was soggy;- the hamburger was like a hockey puck - hard, over cooked and tasteless.3. The management:- were invisible. Not once did a manager come to ask how the meal was. Even after the waitress asked - and was told how unhappy we were, still no manager followed up;- the door to the courtyard was open, as it was a nice summers night, but that allowed wasps to come into the restaurant. We caught at least 3 wasps and released them, just to see them reappear. You donât need the risk of being stung when eating a meal INSIDE!- Despite this being so bad an evening the bill was presented in its entirety - no refund, no gesture of apology. Only after a complaint was made by me was some measure of remedial action taken. A refund of the value of the badly cooked steak was made. No attempt was made to improve the evening with any offer of (for example) free desserts/ coffee etc. This was so bad an evening that we left, with no desserts or coffee, and went to The Parsons Nose to finish the evening.Until the Hillside gets serious about its customer focus, and hires a chef who can cook a steak, we wonât be back.

I recently had dinner here with four friends in the upstairs Bistro. The service was good, the food was good and served in a timely fashion. Nice menu to choose from. Desserts are superb and generous portions. Pleasantly surprised as it gets mixed reviews. Downside: Booths are quite uncomfortable and it is quite expensive. £16.25 for a 6oz burger and chips, although it is good, this is expensive!

Was trying to find somewhere nice for lunch and remembered reading about here in local paper and wasn't disappointed. Only wanted something small but that didn't matter as service was excellent and nice atmosphere. The corn fed chicken dish was to die for, roasted individually and worth the wait. Will definitely be back for more. Very reasonable for the quality.
