NI Food Tours

We invite you to join us in a truly unique and memorable experience. I live in an area of "outstanding natural beauty" on the shores of Strangford Lough just 30 minutes from Belfast. Join myself and my lovely multi award winning Bread maker - Fred, and you will make a variety of traditional Northern Irish breads - soda bread, wheaten / brown bread, potato bread in the very relaxed surroundings of my home - an 18th century thatched barn. We will be offering traditional Christmas themed bread making sessions from mid November. You will be treated to an impressive choice of local foods to accompany your breads. There will also be some tray bakes - northern Irish sweet treats. Tea and coffee will be served in my best bone china - I love the excuse to use it! This is a great way to meet other visitors and the locals! There will be no more than 10 Guests in the session so that it's personal and that we can work with everyone individually. You will be given a copy of all recipes also.

We recently had a wonderful full day of activities organised by Tracey at NI food tours. We are a group of 8 friends who were spending 4 days in Northern Ireland and Tracey had planned a fabulous day for us to experience some of the best food and drink that NI has to offer. We arrived at Tracey’s beautiful home on the shores of Strangford lough mid morning and were welcomed in her farmhouse kitchen with a wonderful selection of freshly baked bread and cakes with local jams and marmalade’s all washed down with plenty of tea and coffee After a short demonstration we were invited to try our hand at making soda and wholemeal traditional Irish bread. It was such fun and even the most reluctant cooks amongst us were very happy. The next experience on the list was a visit to the Echlinville whiskey and gin distillery. Here we were served a signature gin and tonic while learning about the background of the Echlinville Estate before taking a tour of the distillery. Following the tour we were invited to do a gin and whiskey tasting. Being a fan of gin I couldn’t resist buying a few bottles to bring home! After the distillery we drove to the village of Portaferry and were treated to a demonstration of the cooking of the local lough mussels by the chef Krzysztof who demonstrated two recipes which we were able to sample washed down with white wine, we also enjoyed some local oysters which were delicious. Next stop after a short ferry ride across the lough was the Castlescreen Farm where we were welcomed by the lovely farmers Damian and Jackie and their children, who all had a part to play, and after a delicious BBQ we were taken to meet the beautiful Dexter cattle. Last stop was a visit to JN wine merchants and another enjoyable tasing session of gin, whiskey and wonderful wines which were paired with local cheeses and chocolate Tracey was a warm and friendly and knowledgeable host and we truly had the best day. I can highly recommend asking her to make a tour for you tailored to meet your requirements ... you will not be disappointed!

Mount Stewart

Mount Stewart is one of the most inspiring and unusual gardens in the National Trust's ownership. The garden reflects a rich tapestry of design and great planting artistry that was the hallmark of Edith, Lady Londonderry. The mild climate of Strangford Lough allows astonishing levels of planting experimentation. The formal areas exude a strong Mediterranean feel and resemble an Italian villa landscape; the wooded areas support a range of plants from all corners of the world, ensuring something to see whatever the season. Mount Stewart House re-opened after our 3 year long restoration project. We've brought back the elegance and charm of the house when it was home of the 7th Marchioness Edith, Lady Londonderry and her family in the early 20th century and we look forward to welcoming you to enjoy in all its splendor. Six kilometers of walking trails wind through a landscape ‘lost in time’ and establishes Mount Stewart’s reputation as one of the best-preserved Irish country demesnes.

Bangor Marina

Reviewed By TamaraW6

My friend and I stayed at the Marine Court Hotel for a week. From this convenient location, we were able to tour Bangor on foot, including the Marina. The Eisenhower Pier wraps its arm around the marina and, along with its interesting WWII history, boasts walking path along the wall with views out to the channel, inlaid mosaic art, and the iconic little red lighthouse at pier's end. I enjoyed a morning stroll along both sides of the marina, including little beach covered in smoothly rounded pebbles and seagrass and the path past Pickie Fun Park to the coastal walkway (which, unfortunately, I didn't have time to do). We watched a young rowing team practicing in the bay. The Red Berry coffee, snack and ice-cream shop is on the corner by the Marina with outdoor seating. We enjoyed the night lights and activity of the city streets at dusk and the fog rolling in or bright sunshine for breakfast. We weren't moored there, but we heard from locals the friendly hope that those who do will spend time in Bangor in addition to their other Northern Ireland activities. Close to train and bus routes to Belfast, coastal village routes and a main road into the Mourne Mountains.
