Together with his wife Helen, Sean Owens has built Gardiners into a successful, busy restaurant that is part of a vibrant rural community.

The concept of Gardiners is contemporary Irish and continental menus that bring good quality local food and service to the people of mid Ulster in modern, comfortable well kept surroundings.

Sean and his team have put together a challenging range of menus which perfectly illustrates the breadth and variety of their repertoire, using only first class produce with a strong accent on locally produced foodstuffs. This focus on locality has been rewarded by the Ulster Farmers Union “Gate to Plate” Award which Gardiners have won for use of Northern Ireland Foodstuffs. As Sean maintains: “local people support Gardiners, so Gardiners supports them”.
