Measure

Making the best use of Cultural and Natural Resources

Sub-Measure

North Antrim Inns.

Aims

To help in raising the range and quality of food supplied in inns and pubs in the area

Actions

Grant packages of up to £12,500 of capital costs will be offered (to a maximum of 50% of eligible costs) to support pubs/inns who wish to improve the quality of their food service and who want to attain recognised quality standards in food preparation and service. The assistance will be used to put in place new or improved catering facilities, make the premises more tourist and family friendly and to ensure that recognised quality standards are achieved and maintained.

Only a limited number of grant packages are available and these will be offered on a competitive basis.

This sub measure will be linked to a similar measure in the South Antrim LEADER (REAP) Programme.
