Wanted to try somewhere different for lunch and was pleasantly surprised. I had the Classical Club Sandwich which came with salad and fries. Delicious and plenty on plate in fact it beat me cos l couldn't finish it all. Real value for money and will definitely be returning very soon. Thank you Kook.

A very pleasant lunch was had after a long walk. At first on entering I thought I was 'under dressed' in my walking boots and back pack but I was made to feel at home very quickly and had a great tasting lunch with generous helping and a great big mug of coffee. The staff were friendly and engaging and I was even offered a refill for my coffee. Will be back for sure.

Amazing gem of a place! Took my mum here on Saturday for lunch and it was excellent! The staff were super nice and friendly and really helpful. My mum (being awkward) asked for alot of changes to her order and the girl was brilliant! I had a king prawn and salmon open salad and it was incredible. Such a lovely experience and will definitely be back. No wonder it was so busy! 😁

Arrived for lunch, and we were seated very quickly. The menu is a good size and varied. The venue itself is nicely decorated and has a nice ambience. I had the pulled pork sandwich and my allergy issues were dealt by the kitchen staff with appropriate substitutions. The food was great. Portions are very large, if you like to be well fed this is the place for you. All very reasonably priced. Nothing bad to say at all. Give it a try for yourself.

Went to kook Bangor today for the First time. 1st impression when we opened the door was whoa this is expensive. Couldn't have been further wrong. I had the large kook fry & my wife had the small. They were both enormous. The food was beautiful, perfectly cooked & served on a hot plate. The staff were friendly and helpful & made pleasant conversation with us. The bill with 2 pots of tea was under £20. Will be back soon. Stephen dawson

What can I say about this place? It’s hard to find a reason to visit the big city of Bangor and in-fact I used to find reasons not to visit but this Bar has changed all that and I now welcome the pilgrimage up to Costa Del Bangor like many Belfast inhabitants enjoyed before me in the heady summer days of the 60’s. Ginge’s is the perfect infusion of Aladdins Cave and Willy Wonkas chocolate factory and will have you going down a rabbit hole Alice herself would have marvelled at. A place where amazement and wonder are around every corner due to the atmosphere casually swinging from one of being on a special ops mission behind enemy lines with a crack team of Bangor veterans trying to compete a poker hand to one of casually chilling in front of an open fire with live music resembling days gone by whilst having craic and prime ministers questions with clientele you simply wouldn’t come across in your normal everyday life. From Olympians, musicians, tech savvy professionals and Dothraki bloodriders, Ginges has it all under one roof. Add to this an owner bringing in guest chefs to cook up bbq fare fitting of its surroundings and you found a niche in the hospitality sector. Ham hocks, lamb legs, sides of beef and multiple corn snacks are laid down in a feast fitting of a banqueting table of the tudors themselves. A unique experience indeed and one not to be passed up
