The Bearded Goat — Restaurant in Northern Ireland

Food and coffee is generally good however I went last week with my baby in her pram and was immediately refused at the door to bringing the pram in, being quoted as ‘ a health and safety risk’ This I can just about, understand if the coffee shop was busy however it was a quiet morning with only two people currently in and plenty of space I thought for a pram temporarily.
