Mulberry Tree Restaurant in Down

My husband & I visited this lovely place having again having reserved a table in advance for 19:30 on Friday evening. We were warmly greeted and shown to a spacious table on the upper floor. Everything in sight was super clean, the restaurant was pleasantly furnished, and the music was suitably audible. With menus in hand we made our choice the wine which we had taken with us was served with a smile. As we sat we watched the 2 female waitresses working together in harmony and the scene was set for an enjoyable evening. It was very evident that those around us was enjoying themselves... the atmosphere was warm and friendly and we commented on the smiles of satisfaction as customers passed our table on their way out. The fillet steak which my significant other ordered came perfectly cooked, and my chicken maryland was moist with a crispy crumb! The accompanying selection of vegetables.… carrot, broccoli, and sweetcorn had just the right amount of ‘bite’ and the champ potatoes and french fries completed our main course(s). Although we hadn’t room for a dessert oursleves we witnessed the ‘oohs & ahhs’ of delight from those around us and we ended our meal with coffees & shortbread before settling our bill….. Which might I add, was not as expensive as other restaurants in the locality. A very lovely evening which we thoroughly enjoyed - we will return again soon and we’d recommend others do too! Huge congratulations and thanks to all those who served us 💯😍

Fantastic menu Staff very friendly and knowledgeable Bring your own is great Lovely ambience Great menu choices and all homemade Super

Lovely night Great welcome Food amazing and great value Service impeccable Really love this restaurant We will DEFINITELY be back

Beautiful food and lovely staff and right on my door step Cozy wee restaurant 5 stars all the way it's great for a family day out for some nice food

Lovely ambience Friendly welcome Great menu choices and good knowledge from our waitress regarding ingredients We thoroughly enjoyed our first visit and we will DEFINITELY be back

Lo cierto es que nos sorprendió gratamente. Hay más variedad de comida saludable que en otros restaurantes de la zona y tienen algunas opciones distintas, saliéndose un poco de lo típico, lo cual se agradece cuando ya llevas varios días por allí. La decoración es muy bonita y la tarta de manzana que nos comimos de postre fue muy sabrosa. Repetiríamos.

Great atmosphere, fantastic friendly staff very helpful and welcoming beautiful food. Lovely ambience would highly recommend

Great home cooked food. Fish and chips fab. Cheap Mayo let dish down. Server spent whole time on his phone. Stroganoff garlicky, not normally an ingredient in stroganoff. Would go back but would suggest ask specifically what you want from the outset. Wanted to rate it higher. Lack of service and some basics let it down.

We won’t be returning in a hurry, very disappointing customer service from the waiter with the beard. We arrived at 15.40 and he asked us were we here for lunch. I enquired were they still serving and he stated yes but last orders at 16.00. This was reiterated a few more times from him. . He appeared agitated that we came in and we didn’t feel welcome at all. His service was poor and unfriendly. We ha s roast beef that came with chips as they had no mash. We ate our meal whilst listening to cutlery clattering in the background loudly. Food was nice but the service was not up to scratch. I’ve had better!

Party of five, three different choices of mains, Fish, Gammon and Roast silverside of beef, all were beautiful. We then had desserts, apple tart, chocolate fudge cake and apple and cinnamon crumble. Quite reasonably priced and the food was all very freshly home cooked. Definitely will call again.

Wow, this was the first time we have been to the Mullberry.lovely setting just off the main Seaford Road. First class service from all the staff. Quality ead sevond to none and price of the food was to a very high standard. There was 28 in our party and each plate went back empty. I was amazed by this place and will definitely be back.

This idyllic intimate restaurant is one to definitely try. George, the head man, ensures absolutely is perfect as is evidenced by the number of people who regularly frequent his establishment; from Church goers to Ramblers and drop ins, all are satisfied by the excellent home prepared food and the skills of George the Chef. I wanted a particular cut of fresh spring Lamb that was not on the menu due to scarcity and astronomical wholesale price. Not an issue for George who secured the exact cut a few days earlier, cooked it to perfection on the day and one could eat it with ones eyelashes. He maintained the regular price to boot! Bravo. Remember The Mulberry Tree when near Seaforde in Co Down. You will not be disappointed with the fayre or value.

We had very good coffee and fresh scones here this morning. The best scones we have had in ages. The place was spotlessly clean, there were lovely homemade desserts on offer. The lemon meringue pie looked delicious and service was very good.

The atmosphere was more school dining hall than country restaurant. Plates where badly chipped and cutlery badly tarnished. Lettuce with starter was old and turning brown. Tartlet for the goats cheese was a sliced apple!!! Kids pasta was over cooked by about a week and cheese sauce was disgusting. Adults chicken main looked like a kids meal and the choice of sides was limited to chips, mash or veg which they still managed to get wrong. Disappointed as I thought this would be good homely cooked food but ended up bland poor quality food, badly cooked and portioned minutely. Only plus was the staff where pleasant.

We had a very enjoyable lunch with friends. There is a fairly extensive lunch time menu at reasonable prices. Food and service were good. It was a pity there were few other diners, possibly due to covid19 restrictions. Well worth a visit.

Went here with some friends for dinner. I found the restaurant very open and quite plain. The downstairs seemed quite small. We were shown to our table upsatirs which was bright and had a lot more space. As its quite open, it can be noisy when there are a lot of guests. The staff were friendly and the food menu was simple fair. When the food arrived though it was really good. Pleanty of it and severed with a smile. Always important. Inexpensive and pleasent. I would go again. It does seem to close quite early, then again it is a restaurant not a bar !!

Had a family lunch here last Saturday, the staff were friendly and nice atmosphere. Found the meals to be fresh and wholesome, deserts were beautiful and tasty. Would definitely recommend

Was at an after funeral,morning coffee, in this well positioned restaurant. There were at least 40 of us, and we were very impressed with the variety, speed and courteous,service, that we received.An array of tasty sandwiches,,scones,and cakes.

Was told this was a good place to eat but this is not what we found the food was not good the steak I had was very tough we had a table upstairs there was service upstairs if you wanted anything you had to wait until someone else was being served staff were not very pleasant the manager chef was very arrogant I went out back for a smoke the dirt of the place was unreal old planters laying around while I was there a member of staff came out and got peeled potatoes out of an old wooden box which they were stored in I will not be back and would not recommended it

Visit on both a Thursday and Friday At about 530 not busy immediately seated quick service We both had chicken escalopes on both night with veg and chips Very nice food very filling

Perfect surroundings an excellent food. 100%....been here several times for family functions as well as a wee quiet evening and never disappointed. Desserts to die for..only problem is what to choose. Chef and staff very courteous and helpful..Thank you

Lovely spot for lunch or dinner. Excellent surroundings. Outstanding food, lovingly prepared. Great service from young, exceptionally well trained staff. Great value for money!

Don't get to the Mulberry Tree in Seaforde as often as I would like, as it is always top drawer when I am there.Ordered Prawn Open, and it came , looking great, and tasted great as well.Served with 2 pieces of Wheaten Bread, and a range of salad, and delicious.Service good and friendly in a lovely Restaurant

3 of us went to this restaurant having reserved a table in advance for 18:30 on a Friday evening. We arrived slightly behind time, but thankfully this wasn't a problem, and we were warmly greeted and shown to a table on the upper floor.Every item on the table was super clean, the restaurant was pleasantly furnished and the music was low but clearly audible. We were promptly offered menus to peruse, and our drink order was brought quickly and with a smile. The offer of iced water was a welcome touch, and so - the scene was set for an enjoyable evening.We weren't alone as several tables were already occupied, and many more were taken during our stay. The average age range seated was say ….40+, however a large party arrived before we left and we all agreed that widened the range from 20 – 80 years old. Surprisingly there were no children during our visit, but I’m sure that every child irrespective of age would be well catered for.Whilst the restaurant is not licensed, this isn't a problem for anyone who cares to enjoy a glass of wine or two; to BYO is quite acceptable, furthermore what a pleasant surprise to find there is no corkage charge (I imagine we may make take advantage of this during our next visit, and there will definitely be a next visit)!We all agreed to give the starters a miss due to our impatient hunger-pangs – Friday had been a long day for all of us, so we each selected our main courses - 1 grilled beef fillet served with pepper sauce (a special request); 1 baked salmon fillet, coated with a beautiful crunchy pepper crust, set on a lemon & wine sauce (to die for); and the final main order was the delicious sauted medallions of pork, topped with apple and stilton cheese (absolutely gorgeous I’m reliably informed). Our plates were totally clean when we were done… I should add that my husband believes this is the nicest and most tender fillet he has enjoyed in many years (and he should know, cos he likes his meat)! It was great to find a restaurant where a variety of home cooked vegetables arrived as part of the mains order (no charge for the extras here); the selection was great and the chips / mash were also enjoyed – they definitely weren’t soggy nor were they hard, there was just the perfect amount of crunch with each perfectly cooked.We were definitely geared-up to go for a desert (having omitted the initial course and enjoyed the main so much). We eagerly listened to the options offered by the lovely waitress and whilst they all sounded yummy, a decision was difficult to make. A healthy slice of pavalova, a huge jelly trifle in a long glass topped with whipping cream made two, but having tasted each-others’ we unanimously agreed that the winner (for us) had to be the minty cheesecake – another success!Ending with Tea / coffee and “short” shortbread (no not short in portion), we were all totally satisfied and happy. Thanks to all who helped make our evening so good, we really enjoyed everything about the “Mulberry Tree” – I should add that the bill was a lot less than we pay in other restaurants, and I’d willingly challenge anyone to disagree with the value for money aspect!Incidentally, I’ve heard great reports about the outside catering, so if that’s something you need, then don’t pass George Hannah – he is a lovely man, a great chef with years of experience and certainly a person who won’t let you down!!

Good food at a reasonable price service staff could do with being a little more welcoming and friendlier put me off big time with their sour faces on the strength of that I would not be in no hurry back sorry shame as the food was good !!!!!!

I have been many times to the Mulberry Tree. The food is great and the service is excellent. Very tranquil and well worth a visit. Good wholesome food served piping hot. There is a good range of traditional food on the menu and all reasonably priced. This is my favorite restaurant.

We visited the Mulberry Tree today at lunchtime. Having recently passed it and as we will be frequenting the area more often we decided to give it a go.

This is near one of the sites where I work and I enjoy going along for a bit of peace at lunchtime or on a break. A good selection of cakes and coffee, as well as a surprisingly broad range of hot foods and snacks on the menu.

Went for lunch again and enjoyed our food. Service was very good, pleasant young man serving. Our menus had been brought to us by George - I think he might be the owner/manager. Very welcoming - he has a good reputation for being helpful and friendly.

Disappointed with the food as it was very average. Both of us got prawns for starter and got 3 bits of wheaten between 2 which is odd, the salad looked a bit miserable. Staff are pleasant though and it's BYOB. Not much atmosphere, seemed to be an older clientele.

Mulberrry Tree is a favourite for us. The food is very good and there is a good range to cater for all tastes. Nothing is too much for George and the staff. They are friendly and very attentive. You can even bring your own bottle here. The food is reasonably priced and the desserts are home made and wonderful. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.

This place is a little gem an incredibly good value for money, partly because it doesn't have a licence and you bring your own alcohol. Very good quality food, superbly cooked by George Hanna, an excellent example of local chef who knows his local market and what it likes. Nothing fancy but good quality food, beautifully cooked. Great place for a group of friends/small party. Strongly recommended. If you are looking for great value.

We enjoyed the meal, served with a smile, but this is not a sophisticated restaurant. It's a bit school dinners.....

Have been to this restaurant many times and never had a bad meal. Everything is freshly prepared and presented well. You can bring your own bottle and there is no corkage charge. The food is reasonably priced and staff friendly and attentive. This chef/owner deserves to do well. You leave feeling you've had a lovely meal and you haven't been ripped off for the privilege. Keep up the good work.

I organised a birthday celebration in the Mulberry tree for a Saturday evening. We had 23 there in total and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and helpful staff not to mention the high standard of food. There was no problem organising and the owner was helpful and accommodating. The range of choices on the set menu was great so everyone was able to find something they liked and there was a good selection of desserts available on the night. The steak was particularly popular and one person said it was the best they'd had anywhere! The whole meal was delicious and they kindly cut the cake we'd brought to serve with tea and coffee. A great place for an event or just to pop in for lunch or dinner! Highly recommended!

Originally attened a private function here and decided to go back and try the normal restaurant service and definately one to try.
