The best restaurants serving British food in North Down South Eastern NI

Beautiful Christmas meal where the turkey and ham and vegetables were cooked to perfection. My starter was the mixed seafood salad which was also delicious. Bringing a bottle of wine reduces the bill substantially. Can highly recommend this restaurant!

We went to Vespers for a family birthday. The location is hard to beat and made for a great occasion, with drinks in the lounge first then taking our table in the beautifully-appointed dining room looking out to the grounds. The scene was set, then, for a sumptuous meal, one of us taking the vegetarian option (gnocchi) and the others the roast beef. Whilst the beef was reportedly melt in the mouth, the roast potatoes were deemed to be leathery and tough to get through (perhaps sitting under heat as we were a later sitting), with a rather tasteless gravy to boot. The gnocchi was oily and very over-salted; it didn’t get finished. I had a beautiful, subtle red with the meal. Desserts were somewhat ‘nouvelle’ in both portion and interpretation and would have gone down better with the table if they had followed a more classical approach. The Culloden Hotel and Vespers within it are top class locations for a special occasion. Service was polished and unobtrusive as you would expect. The food does need attention and we would not consider a return as things stand. With some attention to bring the menu up to par we’d look at it again for something special.

Great food, great staff. So happy to have been there.

£5 for a large ice cream with 2 sauces and loads of toppings…. Enough for 2 people to share ……delicious even in the rain

Been in today with my partner can't complain it's a lovely place the food is really well price and cooked and presented to a very high standard would definitely recommend her lovely staff and lovely food

Stopped here after coming across from Downpatrick via the ferry. We were so pleased that we did, we both had a fry up. One of the best we have ever had in a cafe. Service was quick, no grease on the plate and thoroughly enjoyable. Lovely pot of tea as well. Michelle, who was in charge couldn’t have been more helpful, even though she had a very busy cafe. Top marks girls for a lovely meal for two very hungry clients.

Perfectly cooked scampi and my partner got crab claws. I will have that next time; it was so good! All that with homemade chips…gourmet food at this place!

We went to watch the rugby in the bar and no one was in the bar. The tvs weren't working only the one in the pool room were there was about 5 people playing pool. Hopefully it's just teething problems

We love this place. Dog friendly and delicious food. Love the seafood chowder. They only have it in colder months. So good!

Love the chips here and the chicken burgers are great.

Beautiful place too eat with a partner never disappoints me always glad to have fod from here staff are lovely and kind and my favourite dish is the avacado brunch well rounded five stars

Thursday's not a good day for brekkie.

A beautiful meal for our wedding anniversary. The service was friendly and impeccable! The food was top notch and the cocktails were perfection. Great value for money too! Highly recommend

That title probably says a lot more about me than Jenny’s but I wouldn’t frequent it as often as I do if I didn’t love the place. I have always found it as traditional a pub as you can find. Its decor is inspired by the history of Ireland and Northern Ireland and it gladly leans into it. It has lots of little dark corners where you can chat away from the crowd and more open spaces to people watch. The food is always of very good quality and the staff are all top-notch people. I rented the upstairs area for my 40th and it is spacious, stylish and, again, the staff helped make the event memorable for me, my friends and family. There are live music acts most nights, relaxing jazz on Sundays and it has started doing tasting evenings up the stairs too. It is probably my favourite place in the world!

Went today to celebrate my birthday with family. Not very impressed with lunch, my husband had fish and chips but chips were hard( should have complained but didn't want to spoil celebration) my daughter and l had Xmas Bowl which consisted of lot of chips hidden beneath cubes of turkey and bacon and stuffing and cranberry mayo. My biggest moan is about what l was charged for a can of Coca Cola (£3.50) and yet only £3 for half pint of Harp lager. Needless to say, l won't be returning in a hurry.
