The best restaurants serving Default food in Cultra North Down South Eastern NI

While staying at the Culloden we sat up in the drawing rooms several nights for drinks and fireside chats. Beautiful rooms, all the staff were helpful and quick. I guess I didn't take as many pictures as I thought but we really liked the different gins from Jawbox.

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.

I visited this place only to find that the older gentleman behind the bar was extremely abrupt verging on rude in the way in which he told us that our custom was unwelcome, as it was a private members club. Needless to say this does not engender positive feelings to this establishment.

Great food, spotless restaurant in grand surroundings. Highly recommend to everyone.

Limited menu. Unexciting menu. Limited vegetarian sishes. Brocolli or mushroom starter and a mushroom main. Manager got a dahl made for my husband.
