The Bushmills Inn: Save your money for the distillery instead!
On the advice of my evidently not so trusty guidebook, we decided to stop in for lunch at the Bushmills Inn on our way to the Giant's Causeway. The Inn is lovely and the decor nice - if a little dark. Service was also prompt and courteous. We ordered lunch and waited for quite a bit. At the time, we didn't mind since we has discovered that in Ireland this usually meant that our meals were fresh and 'home cooked'. In this case, we were sorely disapointed. We had ordered The Bushmills Burger. Every other Irish beef experience was great. This, however, was horrible. The burger was not fresh - in fact, I've had better frozen patties from my local grocery store. The final insult is when we got the bill. Clearly, Bushmills Inn does not have a clear sense of what should constitute a burger for 11.95 pounds sterling!
