The long-vacant premises at Allen Park Golf Club has been revitalized, thanks to the opening of a new Antrim dining destination and the vision of a South African golfing fan.

Set to invigorate the local community, Mulligan's Bar and Grill offers a blend of great food, stunning views and a welcoming atmosphere in premises which had been vacant for almost four years.

The driving force behind the exciting venture is Wayne Von Kraayenburg, a golf enthusiast who emigrated from Benoni in South Africa five years ago after frequently visiting a friend in Bangor for 14 years and falling in love with Northern Ireland.

After settling in Randalstown two years ago, Von Kraayenburg became familiar with Allen Park Golf Club in 2023 and noticed the lack of refreshment facilities for golfers.

Inspired by this gap, he decided to take action investing £50,000, and in September, Mulligan's Bar and Grill opened its doors, creating 10 new jobs in the process.
