Good, Honest Food

The Coq & Bull’s warm welcome is matched only by the quality of its menu, produce, chefs and service. We call it good, honest food. No tricks, no flimflam. We know what works. We know what looks good and what tastes great. The Coq & Bull is a place to savour. Heartfelt flavour. Soulful food.

Lovingly Local

We’re homegrown – part of the whole local deal. Artisan produce from the farms around us. Grass-fed dairy from the fields of County Down. Vegetables dug from the soil of the Ards Peninsula. Organic chicken and beef reared in Northern Ireland’s rain-washed pastures. Fish freshly caught in the Irish Sea. We love local.

What our guests say

Latest Reviews

Friendly, excellent service!

We were entertaining friends from England and the Coq & Bull ticked all the boxes- friendly and excellent service, well presented and delicious food, excellent wine list and there was a lovely background atmosphere. We left having enjoyed a lovely evening and good value.

Wonderful anniversary dinner!

The food is always amazing at the Coq & Bull, and the staff are lovely. We got married at the Clandeboye Lodge and enjoy coming back to celebrate our anniversary!

The monkfish was excellent!

We booked a table to try the Coq & Bull's new menu, as it's always nice to try something new. The tempura monkfish was excellent, as was the accompanying salad. The service staff were friendly and knowledgeable as ever, and we chose to sit in the conservatory which was nice.

Highly recommend

Highly recommend booking to dine at the Coq & Bull. The food was perfect, the cocktails delicious and the service spot on. A warm and welcoming team. Thank you for making our family celebration so memorable.

A relaxed, easy atmosphere

I love the Coq & Bull. It's bright and airy with lovely staff. Always a relaxed, easy atmosphere with food as good as any fancy restaurant. We will be back!

Another wonderful experience

When I want something special, the Coq & Bull brasserie delivers! The service is amazing and the best I have experienced in a long time.

A hidden gem

The food is beautiful, very well presented and tastes amazing. What keeps us coming back is the outdoor terrace - I have never seen anything like it. Eating outside in all weathers with the heaters on just makes our dining experience even better.

Absolutely wonderful - highly recommend!

Visited along with a large party of family members for a birthday Sunday lunch. For a large group of people, the food was served on time and hot. The brasserie itself is a beautiful setting with a warm atmosphere. Thank you and thanks to all the staff for giving us a lovely day out.

Among Friends

Eating with friends. Hard to beat. It’s simple, we look after people. The Coq & Bull is the place to be. And it’s not just the food. It’s the lighting, the music, the service, the understanding and the sense that for that moment, there could be nowhere better. Relaxed, at home, at ease. Dining has never been so enjoyable.
