The Spice Merchant

Had the pleasure of being invited to The Spice Merchant, Whiteabbey for a pre launch of there new Takeaway in Eden Carrickfergus. Met the front of house staff and kitchen Staff, and everyone was more than welcoming. food was 1st class, tasty and very well presented all in an relaxed atmosphere. will definitely be back to this restaurant aswell as there new Takeaway in Eden , just outside Carrickfergus. Wheelchair accessibility: restaurants is all ground level and doors are wide enough for wheelchair access.

Terrible experience. Arrived and seated promptly which is the only plus here tonight. We order drinks which was a pint and a cocktail. After 10 minutes the waiter came back to tell me they couldn’t do the cocktail I’d asked for, so I order another, after a further 10 minutes waiter came back again said he couldn’t do that either and I ordered a different one again. We were still seated after 30minutes with menus infront of us and no food order taken yet only 4 other tables in the restaurant and my partner hadn’t gotten his pint yet for the waiter to return again and say they couldn’t do that cocktail either. This left us with no faith after having sat half an hour hungry with no drinks and no food even order. We just left and didn’t bother. Don’t think we will hurry back.
