The ultimate pavlova in Thornburys Cafe

Thornburys is a family run restaurant in the heart of Lisburn, run by husband and wife, Rob ) & Yvonne.

The cafe was set up in 2004 but thhey took over from the previous owners  just before lockdown.

I had met Rob and Yvonne through work and they were telling me about their exciting plans for the place.  I was so intrigued, I just had to pay a visit.

They have revamped the hot food bar with tasty home cooked style favourites and have introduced a Slushie and Ice-cream bar.  There really is something for all the family!

When we visited, I chose the chicken and broccoli bake (one of my favourites) and I wasn’t disappointed. Succulent chicken and lovely broccoli in a tasty sauce.  Mr. Eating Ideas opted for the steak pie with champ and beans and I must say that it kept him busy for some time!  I will say that the portion sizes are more than generous so maybe go easy on breakfast if you are paying a visit!

Rob had been telling me about his fabulous Pavlova and I was sceptical as in my opinion, my mum’s chocolate Pavlova is the bomb.  I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised as Rob’s Pavlova really is something very special.  I urge you to give it a try!

Rob and Yvonne have some amazing plans for the cafe that I can’t share just yet but keep your eyes peeled.
