The best restaurants in Strangford Down South Eastern NI

What a delightful restaurant, doing a bit of a loop of the Co Down area, decided to go out to Strangford for a look-see. Quick Google and Artisan Cookhouse was top of the list! Went for the burger and fish and chips, both great. BUT the piece de la resistance was their peanut parfait dessert, a masterpiece! Very enjoyable, lovely staff and great value!

This place deserves more than 5 stars!! Came here for a belated special birthday lunch and had a wonderful vegetarian meal. There were great menu choices with separate children and veggie/vegan menus and I struggled to choose as spoilt for choice. In the end I went for the Korean cauliflower and chargrilled celeriac, with both being delicious. Don't really see celeriac on menus and there was a Cajun roasted version on the main menu, which I was pleased my son chose so could have a taste. My son's pumpkin soup of the day was delicious as was my husband's prawn and salmon dishes. My daughter ate from the children's menu and declared her garlic bread being some of the best she has tasted and the kitchen kindly did a meat free Sunday roast, which she loved. I was too full for pudding but did have a taste of what everyone else went for. Service throughout was fantastic. Great to find somewhere so nice with a varied menu and suitable for the whole family.

My wife and myself went yesterday for Sunday lunch. Good variety of dishes on the menu. My wife had brie for starter, she said it was perfectly cooked and delicious. For main course my wife opted for pasta and I ordered the roast beef dinner. The roast beef was lovely and tender, three big slices, with mash, roast potatoes, carrot and parsnips and then a bowl of roasted vegetables arrived. The staff were really helpful and attentive. Will definitely call again.

Hadn't been to the Lobster Pot for years but we visited as a family on the Strangford festival weekend. Although they were very busy the service was good and the food served was excellent. We shall return.!

Called in for a coffee and a light bite. Couldn't believe the price and the quality of food was atrocious. £3.60 for a cool cappuccino £4.75 for a sausage roll, burnt on bottom £3 for a few days old fifteen bun Definitely never be back
