The best restaurants serving British food in South Eastern NI

Saintfields Best Chippy by a long way

Sean the proprietor served a freshly cooked fry and a great craic. He’s was very welcoming with a joint interest in motorcycles. Clean & tidy cafe with good ingredients on the menus. I had the fry with no complaints

Excellent lunch in a very comfortable and quirky space not far off the main Belfast/Dublin Road. If you are out for the day in the Mournes area, The Yard should be on your short list for at least a coffee

Fantastic coffee,great prices and the best Brownies in the Ards/North Down area by a mile. A great friendly welcome and a lovely setting,will definitely be back anytime I'm in the area

Called in today 11/4/25 for lunch great friendly staff good prices would recommend ,a great selection on the menu ,plus daily specials .👍.

Brilliant food, brilliant service, warm friendly staff who gave us a brilliant laugh while we waited. Went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The view outside was the perfect backdrop. 10/10 on all fronts.

Had a fantastic dinner in Aldo’s, where they were very kindly able to squeeze me in without a booking. Food was amazing and service equally good! Well worth travelling for!

Very welcoming after a long walk with dirty boots on great place

I've never been in before. But mum said she had been in before and it was nice. When we went in there was no other customers. It was 2pm and we fancied a snack. I got a plain scone, but I had to get 2 as they were miniture, 2 of them would of made a normal sized scone. My eyes widened when my mum went to get the second and the girl said £3. Mum got a German biscuit since her raspberry and white chocolate scone was small. She said it was ok. We noticed that the sandwiches in the cooler were actually starting to curl. There was no toilets and had to use the public toilets next door to the cafe. So 3 mini scones, a German biscuit and 2 teas £17. I'll definitely not be going back here in a hurry.

Great for Ulster fry good service and nice food

Really good food and the best waitress you could ask wish for, so attentive and friendly that she makes dining here even more enjoyable.

A lovely coffee and apple crumble

My husband was gifted a cake from here, it was amazing, the attention to detail was excellent, we thought it would be style over substance but it also tasted delicious, although it seemed a shame to cut into it!

It took 60 minutes to get our food. The food was disappointing given the high cost. Poor value and overrated.

Well just had my big birthday dinner there. And the staff were wonderful top class. Food was top class. Service was outstanding. Two lady’s serving got one name Bevan I believe and another lady tattoos 😝 there were both wonderful servers. Credit to the company. Well done was a very enjoyable evening I had with family and friends. Love this place fully recommend you have some time here.
