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.

Just back from Kook it was gorgeous my first time but not my last. I had a salt chilli chicken wrap with salad and chips. Well I've never seen such a big wrap it was really delicious. The staff were really friendly dispite the fact they were busy and down two staff. Can't wait to go back 😋😋 definitely recommend it.

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
