Coq & Bull in North Down

One of our favourite places to eat in Bangor. I go often with my family. My team were in town so I took them for a treat, two are vegetarian and one is a complete foodie. As expected, they loved it. The menu is comprehensive, the team are brilliant there, with Andrea and Ryan leading, they all continue to be friendly and professional on every occasion. I would recommend this place for couples, families, business and I’ve even been to several Birthday meals here. The best Bangor has!

Excellent overall. A special mention for great service and outstanding burgers in a beautiful setting. It's a little more on the expensive side but very much worth it.

After being seated we waited a long time before anyone came near us to enquire if we wanted a drink. When menus arrived we again waited a long time before our orders were taken. Starters were ok and we both ordered the Sunday Roast Beef. Alarm bells were ringing when our knives were replaced with steak knives! The meat was extremely poor, very tough and fatty. Shame as everything else on the plate was ok. No one came to enquire if the meal was alright. I persevered but my wife was unable to eat much of her meat. When the plates were being cleared we were asked and I gave my opinion, the reaction was it was likely because it was the last of the roast - at 2.30pm? We declined deserts or anything else as we were disappointed with the experience. When we went to pay a manageress did apologise and deducted the cost of one of the meals, had this been done earlier we may have had deserts and coffee. All in all it was a disappointment that any chef thought it acceptable to serve meat of such terrible quality in a restaurant that claims to serve "Good Honest Food"

Rang to book a table at the last minute and was delighted to get one at such late notice on a Sunday evening. On arrival we were greeted by Beth who showed us to our table and attended to us at various times during the evening. The restaurant was nicely full with a good buzz about it. Plenty of servers on duty saw to it that we did not have to wait long for orders to be taken. We chose cured salmon and roasted asparagus as our two starters. Both delicious. Then we both opted for the hake with mussels in a curry veloute with pan fried comber potatoes. A green salad and the peas and beans were our two sides. Fabulous food all round and ample quantity. We had just enough room for a dessert. I chose the sundae with caramel sauce and chocolate brownie which was tasty but my husband’s apple strudel with custard looked even better. He raved about it and made me wish I had ordered that instead. Coffee and peppermint tea completed a wonderful meal. The service was attentive and Kathryn in particular was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely return!

We were here last night for a meal. Our son gave us a gift voucher at Christmas and we just got round to using it now. We were greeted by a friendly young lady who looked up our booking and then guided us to our table. The restaurant was quite when we arrived only a handful of other diners which is nice but I prefer the busy-ness and the buzz of a filled restaurant. We were given a window seat which was quite nice. It looked onto the adjoining gardens and carpark beyond. We were given the menus to look over and asked if we wanted anything to drink. We had one starter to share of different breads oils and tapenade which was delicious. For my main I had hake with mussels baby potatoes along with some greens sitting on a mild curry sauce which I must say was delicious. My wife had the roast duck and she said it was equally delicious. We also had a dessert each. Mine was the ice cream sundae with a host of goodies in it. My wife had the hazelnut bavarois which again she said it was delicious. My sundae was nice and I enjoyed it but I think next time I will order the apple strudel and custard which I almost ordered. We also had a bottle of house white which was delicious although I only took a small glass as I was driving. There was half a bottle left when we were leaving which we took home. All in all it was great food served by great people in a lovely setting. My perception overall was the entire experience was good but a tad expensive hence the 4 star review instead of 5 star overall. This however does not detract from the quality of the meals.

There were only two waiting staff trying to manage food service and drinks. While polite and efficient, it was disappointing compared to previous visits. Prices have gone up too. One of the best restaurants close to home and we brought a friend who was visiting and it was disappointing

Brilliant menu, especially for vegetarians. Great choice of desserts as well Excellent service and lovely surroundings and atmosphere

Great menu with a choice for all, quality ingredients, fabulous service and a wide variety of drinks to wash down that great meal. Had a family night here recently and was blown away

Good and friendly Northern Ireland service. Quality food and well cooked

A favourite place to visit and enjoy a meal. Our recent visit was no exception. This eatery cannot be given enough recommendation for it's superb food, great service and lovely overall ambience. Special thanks to the brasserie Manager who gave outstanding service...well done and thank you.

The deconstructed cheesecake is to die for! Service was wonderful, especially Katrin, she was wonderful :)

As a regular visitor I have always enjoyed the location, service and food. Easter Sunday was the first time I have been left disappointed. The staff and the starters were nice. All the mains were small. The steaks were small but tasty (there was a £10 supplement per steak on top of the £37.50 cost for two courses). The lamb however was a single thin slice of lamb (similar to a piece of luncheon meat) with potatoes and both bowls of root veg were virtually raw. For 2 two courses and 2 three courses and one bottle of wine, the price was £210 excl tip. I fully appreciate that food and energy prices have been rising considerably, but the small portions alongside the pitiful slice of lamb and the raw root vegetables, left us disappointed. If the prices are now such that you can only go out occasionally, then it needs to be worth it and sadly this meal was not worth it. I do like this venue but I will wait a while before my next return.

Always a lovely experience. Staff excellent. Food delicious.

Called in without a reservation and were seated without a problem. Pleasant surroundings giving an ambient atmosphere. Nice menu although prices were rather high. Food excellent in terms of flavour and presentation. Andreu was an excellent host. Will return soon.

Love the coffee and scones here. Staff always pleasant and helpful. Comfy area in the sun room is lovely 😊

My mother in law booked the Coq and Bull (love the name) and rates it highly. We visited on Tuesday Lunch and its just amazing.... a great setting, professional staff and great food. We put in a bit of a awkward order on when we wanted our courses and the waiter Scott was fantastic, very helpful, polite and able to recommend wines at our peril. Well done to this establishment on a great kitchen and top front of house staff.

Wonderful Sunday lunch at clandeboye hotel lovely meal and super service will definitely be back soon recommend you try it won't be disappointed!!!

Excellent service and food was outstanding 👌

Very pleasant staff. Dessert was microwaved but otherwise ok

Great choice of food and a great wine selection. The service staff are on top of their game. A great atmosphere and under no pressure, a real treat.

We stayed overnight, had dinner and breakfast in the Clandeboye Lodge hotel. Best food we have had in the Ards area, in fact it is to die for. Service was extremely attentive. Room had everything in we needed. Bath, shower combination had overhead and shower head. Bed was very comfortable. Cannot recommend this hotel / restaurant enough!

Fancy spacious setting with very good service but food is very expensive for what you get on your plate. Wine is also very expensive compared to other places. Plenty of parking and space. Very relaxing place to go for lunch or dinner but don't expect value for money!

We were a party of 5 Sunday 10th December. It has been years since I have been at the clandyboye, and you did not disappoint. Your staff were lovely and very chatty which was lovely. The food was 10 out of 10. We will definitely be back. Thank you

Food, service and decor perfect. Quality is incredible and exceeded my already high expectations. Well done to all the staff who were pleasant, helpful and professional. Will definitely return.

One of our favourite restaurants. Food is consistently good, as are the staff. Enjoyed a lovely meal, served by friendly and professional staff. Many thanks indeed. We will he back soon.

Expensive,small portions,tough lamb, not good

Went for Sunday lunch & it was cold & very small portion we picked the roast beef dinner & it was a 6oz piece of steak they even brought us a steak knife for roast beef never be back. The chips & onion rings were hot & fresh but £25.50 for a roast beef dinner that was poor & £4.80 for the extra side orders each. The people who took burgers,fish or off the menu seem to have had a nicer meal.

Have reviewed this under the Clandeboye Hotel reviews. It's excellent for menu choices and service. .

Food was absolutely amazing the 'fish and chips" was the best I have ever had ❤️ the service was extremely attentive without being tortured

Food first class staff so friendly

Thanks to Ryan and the team for great service. Great food and a respite for a weary traveller.

The steaks were delicious, the ambience was perfect and the attentive staff were delightful.

I had asked for my starter with no chilli, but this was not adhered to. Incorrect coffee was served to one of our guests. We asked at least 4 times for the background music to be turned as we could hardly hear ourselves think never mind speak to each other. Eventually it was turned down. Very disappointing!

Have been here a number of times before lock down and this was first time back since. Menu unchanged in a number of years which was disappointing. Decor also unchanged in a number of years. We were there on a Sunday night so it was quiet. Service was poor (we repeatedly had to ask for things to be brought to the table, wine, dessert menu etc). Table wear not in keeping with perceived ambience. Place looked shabby and in need of refurbishment. The food, when it arrived, was good however we expected a more satisfying experience for the cost.

6 of us had Sunday lunch. We could not fault the food or the welcoming staff. The menu had something for everyone and we had starters of the prawns and bread selection. Mains were Sunday roast beef special, fish cakes and battered fish, all lovely. Desserts too were excellent. We loved the atmosphere and we got just the right level of attention from staff. Would definitely recommend and would return.

We came here for a family meal and had a great experience. Really delicious food and lovely atmosphere.

Food was excellent. Service a bit slow. Check your bill before leaving. I was charged £4.50 for roast potatoes with lamb. Discovered when I got home that they were included in price

Wonderful restaurant, serving beautiful food. Staff are fantastic.

Starter and main very good,desert not so good,microwaved and hard

We usually come here when there's a special family occasion. The food is consistently excellent, the staff are very helpful and friendly and the prices are reasonable. Highly recommended.

A very fine establishment, the staff are personable, professional, proper and proficient. The food is exquisite and the surroundings cosy, very clean, interesting and moreish. I’d love to stay here and hit the 20 barrels Pinot Noir hard - it’s delightful.

George and I had meal here today. George had the burger on mushroom with chips.I had chicken and chickpea soup with sourdough bread and then vegan sticky toffee pudding on pineapple with ice cream. Lovely meal and waitress very pleasant and helpful. Have been here a couple of times and definitely be back. My son and his wife had their wedding here 8years ago.

Another delightful lunch visit to Coq & Bull! Ultra courteous service throughout our visit. Excellent variety on menu . . . it really was difficult to make a final choice! Food was absolutely delicious. We sat outside on the covered patio - it was simply beautiful. Clandeboye Lodge is a real gem.

Another fab night here, the food was delicious and the service was flawless.

Went to coq & bull for dinner with some.girls food and service was excellent we sat afterwards in their beautiful conservatory for coffee would highly recommend it

It’s unusual these days for a restaurant to continue trading (in general) with consistently good service, standards, food quality and ambience. I’ve been dining here a few times a year for several years. I always have a great experience, and the standards have never slipped. The welcome is warm, the wines well priced, the menu varied (but you can request substitutions and the odd item that’s no longer on the menu) and the decor still looks great. Every time I visit I fall in love with a new dish. Tonight I fell in love with the coconut panna cotta! Would highly recommend!

Stayed at the Clandeboye for a wedding. Loved it!

Staff wonderful. My food a bit overcooked. Everyone else enjoyed it.

The service and the food was exemplary.

We reserved a Saturday Tea Time table and well worth our visit we had the bread board and oils for a starter and a nice bottle of red wine . Mains was lamb and it really was cooked to perfection:-) cocktails and coffee rounded of a beautiful meal . Staff where very attentive and very friendly. Definitely must do again

Good surroundings and food fine but expensive for lunch. Guinness not good

3rd visit here, hidden gem just outside Bangor. Food is amazing, highly recommend the Lamb. All meals paired with a wide selection of wines (perfectly). Staff can't do enough to make sure you have everything you need. Great parking.

It's one of only two places I enjoy eating out in Bangor now. This is our regular family pre Christmas gathering spot. Also great for the special celebration events in between. When it's an important occasion, it is vital that you know it will deliver, and it does. Every time. Staff are simply faultless, and the food is always top-notch. Always warm and comfortable. There is plenty of car parking too. Highly recommended.

Sunday lunch before the festive season starts has become a treat over the past few years. In the previous two covid years tables were set well apart and mask wearing was strictly observed, but as the disease has waned throughout 2022 it was nice to see a more relaxed atmosphere in the restaurant. The food, as always, was very nice. Starters of home made soup and mackerel pate were followed by an early Christmas treat of a roast turkey dinner. The service was quick and without unnecessary fuss, and helped to make for a memorable afternoon.

Great staff. Well done, straight forward food. All good

Booked a table for a family Sunday lunch, phoned to confirm. Was not told there was a condition of a 2 course minimum for Sunday. Staff were pleasant on telling us. Food was mostly disappointing, turkey was dry and lacked flavour, other meals ok, fish seemed to go down the best. Most of us couldn’t finish melas after having to eat starters which were very expensive.

Great reception with our pre-ordered Freixenet - perfectly chilled - and a board of finger food. Butter with it - but knives were missing. Dinner was sumptuous: from the porkbelly starter, scampis, tempura and the quite perfect vegetable currysoup. Our maincourses were equally 1st class: a grand pork Tomahawk steak, a Cod dish, mine was a juicy and perfectly roasted lamb. A very wide selection of open wines (Sauvignon blanc, Chardonnay, a quite amazing Zinfandel, and for my lamb a CS-Merlot that did the trick. We shall be back again next year!

We have a very nice evening at the coq & bull at the Clandeboye. Everything was just as you would want it. Relaxing atmosphere, nice staff, no rush, good bottle of wine and then a great dinner. Highly recommended for an evening out.

Had several very good meals here over the past few months. The menu stars many of NI's local greats covering Fowl, Feather and Fin and a good few options for those that don't indulge in any of those three. An ample wine list to help you wash it all down and the service is spot on being attentive and knowledgeable without becoming intrusive. It's extremely popular so book well ahead

Went here on Saturday night with my wife as a birthday treat. I ordered the lamb and was very disappointed at the portion size and the quality of the food. The lamb was very chewy and was certainly not worth the £25.50 they charged for it. My wife had a curry which was nice but nothing special. We couldn’t fault the staff who were very friendly and helpful but the food was a big disappointment.

Eating out is a combination of setting , staff and of course the food. So often one of these is a disappointment . This is not the case with the Coq&Bull. The setting is beautiful - we ate in the covered terrace. The staff greet you as if you’ve made their day and they were waiting for you to arrive . The menu , whilst not extensive is seriously delicious . HIGHLY recommend the lamb - beautifully cooked . The tempura prawns starter was delicious . The staff are attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. Seafood chowder was just as it should be and the breads are delicious . It’s peaceful , spacious and relaxing

We dined one evening in the restaurant on a two night stay. We ordered the fillet steaks accompanied by chips, baby potatoes, French fried onions & a pepper sauce. The steaks arrived as ordered, one rare & the other well done, both delicious. Glasses of wine were quite expensive. The desserts were nice, could have been sweeter but I do have a sweet tooth. Staff were friendly & professional. Covid measures in place include wearing of face coverings by staff & hand sanitizing stations. Recommended.

My family and I were disappointed this evening. We waited 25 mins to order and a further 25 mins until our food arrived. My mother’s burger was pink. Doubt I’ll be back. The waitress taking our order was very understanding and explained that she doesn’t usually take orders but noticed we were waiting ages so just scribbled it down on paper instead of on the tablet. Perhaps the restaurant was understaffed this evening which is a shame as it is a nice environment.

Booked this as part of a package for the Clandeboye Hotel with my sister. Staff were so friendly and couldn't have been more helpful or accommodating. I had the burger which was absolutely delicious and my sister had the chicken, which was amazing as well. For dessert I had the marathon pudding and my sister had the chocolate ganache. The drinks were also amazing, especially their unique twist on strawberry daiquiris! The restaurant itself had a lovely welcoming atmosphere, I would highly recommend and we will be back! Special mention to Leah, Jordan and David for their hospitality and professionalism, they are a credit to themselves and to the Clandeboye hotel.

What incredible hospitality, arrived on a rainy Sunday night and was greeted with such warmth. If you are ever stuck for somewhere to unwind, I’m sure they’re look after you. A special thank you to all the people who served us, especially Imi - if I could pick my waiter it would always be him.

well spaced, nice ambience lighting. menu varied but ample choice,they change and add dishes regularly. very tasty and ample portion size. staff very well mannered. would recommend

Had lunch yesterday with 3 other friends of a certain age and in spite of the challenges we provided the staff were brilliant from beginning to end. Our food could not be faulted either so all in all we had a splendid afternoon and look forward to a revisit. Highly recommended!!!

Had a lovely meal here a few nights ago. The place was busy but we were fitted in early. The restaurant tables were well spaced for social distancing and the staff were wearing masks which was good not only that they were happy and pleasant.Our meal was really enjoyable ,in these peculiar times we felt safe in our surroundings. I should add you can eat outside and it looked very nice and plenty of heaters on the go.

This is getting a regular popular destination this would be our 22nd visit as we always like the cuisine and the staff are always polite helpful and above all the food selection is second to none and above all the range of prices is always money well spent despite this virus it didn't put us off as always my steak was cooked to perfection and my wife loves there salmon dishes would recommend the roast beef and the cod dishes as this is what we had on this occasion keep up the great work that you all do as me and Jenny do appreciate everything that you do see you all again soon

Great Sunday Lunch! Roast beef was cooked perfectly. Social distancing is in place and being managed well

Food was fantastic and service was excellent visited with my family for lunch and there was great safety precautions in place

Went for a meal tonight with family, this was our first meal out since covid. Firstly the 'set up' within the restaurant is perfect, plenty of hand sanitation stations, if you want to use them. All staff wearing masks (although I understsnd why they are wearing them, I really felt for them and we all would have been perfectly happy and more comfortable if staff didn't have to wear masks ) Excellent service, just as usual, overall it was a very pleasant dining experience. Food was first rate, usual high quality. There is a slightly reduced menu, but all our favourites were still there and there was a really good selection to choose from. Restaurant was busy enough so a good atmosphere too. I wouldn't hesitate to book lunch or dinner again soon. They now have several outside dining tables too, which looked lovely, with heaters and canopies.Service here is excellent, as are the staff, all very friendly and helpful.Definitely worth booking a meal here.

I have dined in Coq & Bull many times and have also introduced friends and colleagues to the restaurant. Indeed, having organised a recent event for a local club, almost 20 of us had dinner there and to a man, all thought the menu choice, food quality, ambiance and service was of the highest order.Being a regular visitor I can add that the seasonal menu changes really add to the experience and the creativity in the use of local products, surely amongst the best in the world, is outstanding. Having just enjoyed the Armagh apple, parsnip and Comber potato soup and Beer battered locally caught haddock with Farmageddon onion rings on the side, I have to say that the meal and the service was superb. As always, the staff team were friendly, attentive and efficient. As a measure of our experience, my friends and I are now planning our next visit !

Having just returned from a short break at the Clandyboye lodge I would like thank the staff for a most enjoyable stay everyone from check in ,bar staff and restaurant staff were all extremely pleasant and polite we will definitely return .Worth a visit if in the area

Consistently the best restaurant available in our opinion.We have been frequenting here for the past 3 years weekly to fortnightly and hand on heart can say the quality of service, the atmosphere and the quality and consistency of the food are second to none, it's always cooked to perfection and wait time is always perfect. Also to see so many other happy regulars visiting week in week out speaks volumes when it comes to the overall experience.We very rarely write reviews but we are booking for tomorrow night and everyone just said one more sleep !! Staff are fantastic with kids as well.Can't recommend highly enough.

Having frequented this restaurant regularly over the past 10 years, we took a break after receiving an array of dishes that had not been properly cooked. Butternut squash in a vegetarian chilli, potato fondants, baby boiled potatoes and artichokes on a potato salad are all examples.

Lovely Restaurant with a cosy feeling marred only by the background music which for me was too much in the foreground. Service was attentive, efficient and friendly. The Menu covers most tastes with reasonable prices. The food was excellent and well presented. I found the wine prices extremely high.All in all, an enjoyable meal and a return visit is quite possible.

Super restaurant. The sirloin steak was fabulous. Along with the chips, pepper sauce and tomatoes. Just go you won’t regret it.

We walked into the restaurant and were blown away by the arched windows and lofty wooden ceilings, we had a very private booth with low lighting. It was very romantic! our waiter was friendly, helpful and knew his product. The food was so flavoursome and plentiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience.

Stayed at the hotel and had an evening meal included in the package. We decided to order from the main menu and were credited £22.50 towards our bill.We ordered a sharing mezze platter which had a plentiful selection. For mains I had a steak with chips and ordered peppercorn sauce and onion rings. The steak was cooked perfectly and was delicious. For dessert I had the chocolate pudding and it was incredibly tasty.Service was excellent too. One of my favourite meals out in a while and can't wait to go back.

This is probably our favourite restaurant for a relaxed Sunday lunch on that special occasion. We opted to order off the Sunday lunch menu to celebrate my wife's birthday. The roast rib of beef, and turkey and ham dishes were delicious and very generous.On the Sunday before Christmas the dining room was full with happy diners.

Ambience, food and service 5 star! Would greatly recomend. We had incredible 3 hours pre Christmas dinner with friends. Definatelly will be back.

First and last time wining and dining at this establishment, booked a table for 4 people as a birthday suprise for my Wife even put a notice on the booking that it was a big birthday suprise as we have done for previous bookings on occassions at other restaurants etc. So on arrival all was grand we where then shown to our table for the evening. We had placed our orders starters and mains alround and 2 bottles of wine plus other drinks. The starters arrived all looked very good apart from my starter was incorrect only to be told the chef will heat up the alternative option that was available with the smoked salmon so a short time later a side plate of the correct ingredients for the starter. When the mains arrived a friend had nipped to the loo and when he had done so I asked him to check with the staff they are aware its a big birthday and has anything been aaranged aka a token gesture from the house as a thanks for choosing to spend your birthday and money in their establishment only to be told if he would like to buy a dessert they would gladly bring it to the table with a candle. Thus starts my problem at no point when the booking was made did anyone make it clear that this restaurant does not provide so much as a scoop of ice cream f.o.c to the birthday guest because god forbid a business takes a 30p hit to make a birthday guests dining experience in the place that little bit special! So at my frustration I had to further more purchase a dessert and a glass of house prossecco to ensure all went smoothly. The bill was in excess of £200 for 4 people which is fair enough however when I raised my concerns i got a phone call from the restaurant manager explaining that its not policy to give away birthday desserts as it may be abused i was however offered a £2 refund. Shocking excuse from an industry that should strive to make the experience for anyone booking a celebration event that little bit more special but clearly not here. A small token goes along way in the hospitality industry. Wont be back.

Went for an early lunch with two friends. We received a lovely welcome and had a nice table in the restaurant. Service was great throughout and we never felt rushed , just the right amount between courses. Food was very good and reasonably priced for Christmas lunch. We also enjoyed a lovely bottle of wine recommended to us. A really lovely afternoon spent with friends to start the Christmas festivities. I haven’t been in many years but will definitely return with my husband as we had our wedding reception here about 25 years and used to visit more frequently so I think we will put this back on our list to return. Thanks again to all the staff for an enjoyable afternoon!

A few of us met for lunch today and had a great experience. This was my first visit and I loved it from the moment we stepped in the door. We were met by a heartwarming fire with a Christmas tree beside it, and sat at nearby setees. The decor is contemporary, not minimalist or cluttered, just right to create a homely atmosphere.
