About
The Secret Garden Cafe located in the grounds of Ecos Nature Park in Ballymena operates 7 days a week, providing refreshments alongside hot and cold food. All food is made by our onsite chefs using locally sourced produce with all cakes, pastries and deserts also created and baked in-house.
On Wednesday we have our weekly fish day from our Portavogie fish supplier and daily specials are run most days; check our Facebook page for updates.
We also specialise in outside catering or hot food buffets provided on the grounds for events or within the Ecos Hub for corporate and / or private events being held in this beautiful and scenic space.
