Good, Honest Food

The Coq & Bull’s warm welcome is matched only by the quality of its menu, produce, chefs and service. We call it good, honest food. No tricks, no trends, no flimflam. We know what works. We know what looks good and what tastes great. The Coq & Bull is a place to savour. Heartfelt flavour. Soulful food.

Lovingly Local

We’re homegrown – part of the whole local deal. Artisan produce from the farms around us. Grass-fed dairy from the fields of County Down. Vegetables dug from the soil of the Ards Peninsula. Organic chicken and beef reared in Northern Ireland’s rain-washed pastures. Fish freshly caught in the Irish Sea. We love local.

The apple crumble is in a league of its own!

My wife and I dined here during our stay. Staff were very attentive, despite how busy the restaurant was, providing excellent guidance on the wine. I went for the short rib of beef, my wife the chicken and creamed leeks, followed by a delicious apple crumble, which was in a league of its own!

Celebrating a 90th birthday!

On arrival the girl who checked us in was so friendly and polite. The food was so fantastic, delicious and fresh! Could not fault the whole experience and our Aunt had the best time. Thank you Coq and Bull, for an absolutely wonderful evening.

A wonderful experience!

We have been having our annual Christmas family meal here for 10 years. Every year it is the same wonderful experience. We love the menu that caters for everyone and the ambiance is perfect. We look forward to visiting throughout the year and again next Christmas. Highly recommended.

An enjoyable family meal!

Excellent surroundings, service and food. We very much enjoyed our family meal and will definitely return. The service was relaxed but efficient and the nut roast was highly recommended!

Excellent as always! The staff are helpful and friendly, accompanied by a great menu with something to suit all tastes and expectations. The surroundings, including the beautiful grounds, all add to the occasion and the whole dining experience is really relaxing and lovely.

Friendly, excellent service!

We were entertaining friends from England and the Coq & Bull ticked all the boxes- friendly and excellent service, well presented and delicious food, excellent wine list and there was a lovely background atmosphere. We left having enjoyed a lovely evening and good value.

Among Friends

Eating with friends. Hard to beat. It’s simple, we look after people. The Coq & Bull is the place to be. And it’s not just the food. It’s the lighting, the music, the service, the understanding and the sense that for that moment, there could be nowhere better. Relaxed, at home, at ease. Dining has never been so enjoyable.
