Lucy's in Ards

Lucy's team & businesses, both On A Plate & Inside Out Catering were second to none for our wedding celebrations! Lucy was such a joy to work with, with her depth of knowledge & expertise, and her shining passion for food, people and service! Lucy and her team made our whole wedding perfect from beginning to end, and everyone commented on the food! :) Even the thoughtful details for our post-wedding meal celebrations as well. We couldn't recommend highly enough! Thank you for everything Lucy!

Outstanding, amazing food excellent service and Lucy is one of the best hosts we have ever had, the next time we are up in the lake district we will be returning to this restaurant

To us, one of the most important elements of our wedding was having amazing food. And after a tasting at Lucy’s On A Plate, there was no doubt she would deliver and incredible meal. She has a tremendous amount of experience catering for weddings and knows the industry like no other. She was even able to provide recommendations for photographers, florists and bands.After we initially spoke to her about who we are and how we met, she put together a comprehensive list of menu options tailored to what we had told her. We were then able to sample various options to create the perfect menu that felt personal to us. On the day her large team of experienced staff made everything run smoothly and our guests were delighted with the food. We would highly recommend Lucy.

Wonderful food and cocktails, great atmosphere and fab staff. I had a lovely meal, would definitely recommend. The Sunday dinner was fantastic!

Called in on the chance we could get a table and we’re welcomed by very friendly staff. Offered the early bird menu which was fantastic value. The food was outstanding in both quality and presentation. “Shiver me livers” was absolutely delicious as were the “double dippers.” Mains were “lamb shank redemption” and “I spy rib eye” with peppercorn sauce. Now I never normally eat rib eye as I prefer Fillet. It was that good it has changed my mind on steak. Seriously, it was superb. Finished off with bread and butter pudding and custard (I’m not a dessert fan normally but hey ho). £20 for two courses and £24 for three (£5 supplement for the rib eye ) was worth every penny. Not rushed to be turned out either despite being in for five. Will definitely return.

Had a great night at Lucy's. When we first sat down to look at the menu, we realised that the place was special when the menu was uniquely created for each day, with a personal greeting from the owner.The food was delicious and the menu had swathes of character, humour and zing. Staff were attentative, and friendly. Definitely one to go and check out if you are in the area

An absolutely incredible evening full of character. The food was so good that we forgot to take pictures. Really cannot recommend enough - an absolute must if your are staying in Ambleside!

Fantastic time at Lucy, friendly staff, kids and dogs friendly. The food is lovely and the sticky toffee pudding is a must! Make sure you book it before you go!

This was a very cute restaurant in Ambleside. The place has an awesome cinematic vibe with dishes named with funny references. The food itself was also delicious, a lot of great options of starters, mains and desserts split between a fixed and a daily menu. If you are in a group of 4 or more I definitely recommend ordering the baked Camembert, it was absolutely fantastic!!

Great eatery. I say eatery as this is no run of the mill restaurant! Amazing menu of very different and satisfyingly delicious meals. Great little touches everywhere including the menu being an amusing read whilst you wait for your food. Which isn't long with the impeccable service. Recommended for something a bit different from the mainstream. A breath of much needed air!
