DITTY'S CASTLEDAWSON

We stopped in on Thursday for some lunch while travelling through from Derry to Belfast. Although we had to wait approximately 15 minutes to be seated as there wasn’t a free table to cater for us all, the member of staff kindly gave us menus to browse over while we waited. We didn’t mind waiting as the place was very busy and to us that’s a good sign. We then got seated and the buzz around the place was electric. Every member of staff was rushing around getting the job done. Under pressure I’d imagine but still ‘most’ had a smile on their face. We picked up that they seem to have a system in place that it’s first come, first served which is fair. So when it came our turn we ordered from a fantastic menu that catered for us all, even one gluten free option (separate gluten free menu available) and then yes we had a little wait on our food but boy was it worth the wait. Can I add that our drinks came down shortly before our meal which we loved as they were still piping hot to enjoy with our lunches. I had the honey chilli chicken and i can honestly say it was the nicest lunch I’ve had in a long long time. Dittys 5 stars. Highly recommended. A shout out to all the staff working on Thursday 22nd August, you where incredible on which I’m guessing was an extremely busy shift for you all going by the time we where there. Nothing was any issue to any of you. Lovely, polite and mannerly staff along side great quality food, what else does anyone want. We will be back 👏🏼

First time here but will be back. Had Gluten Free breakfast... large portion of delicious food & pot of tea. Prices are great. Staff are friendly... had complicated order but they got it right from the start. Good docial distancing in place, spotlessly clean... great atmosphere. Most people drive past Castledawson on the main Belfast to Derry road.... now I have a reason to stop.... well worth a visit... plenty on offer... especially for Coeliacs.
