Was taken here by relatives, I had a Smoked Mackarel salad & it was delicious! Locally caught & smoked, washed down with a yummy Spanish wine. The restaurant was cosy, homely & we were well looked after. The other rooms were cosy too. I'd love to stay here sometime as it looks so cosy. I'd highly recommend a moment in this lovely place!

The special lunch menu was very appealing. The food choice and the service were good and like some other reviewers we also brought wine with us. The restaurant was busy and the staff made us very welcome. We all had the local freshly caught fish.

We only stopped in here for a quick pint (Guinness fantastic!) but we will return for food for sure. This traditional pub retains many of its original features and has a welcoming atmosphere for visitors and locals alike. There was traditional music on the Sunday when we visited and we were disappointed we couldn't factor in lunch- but we will be back!

This is a lovely delicatessen cum coffee shop, situated adjacent to the gates of the historical Killyleagh Castle. Never empty, always great food - and healthy!

Delicious fresh homemade food at reasonable prices. Not the biggest place but it's quaint and if it's a view you want then go elsewhere. We had a lovely lunch here, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

Good bar but the food is disappointing. It is standard, from frozen and not particularly well presented. My last visit, I think the serving staff begrudged my visit, it interfered with their time on their phone

Irish country pub serving great food, drink & craic with a relaxed informal style 7 days a week in a rural setting on the shores of Strangford Lough.

Reviewed By Ciarán R - Belfast

We called here 2 years ago
Our visit was disappointing
We gave the restaurant a second chance today as a birthday treat
Unfortunately it was disappointing again
The staff are lovely and friendly although it’s not the speediest of service
I ordered the scampi and chips
The lady OLIVE took my order ( as I’m allergic to onions : I asked for “no onions” ) she told me very sharply and clearly “ you’ll definitely get no onions
I got onions - exactly the same problem as our last visit and it was the same lady who took our order OLIVE the owner
It turned out that she hadn’t even written on the order pad “no onions”

Well if the owner cannot get a simple note correct then there’s an issue
We were recommended to visit here by Olive’s local customer

Not only has it ruined my day out but she has now embarrassed her local customers

We will not return here
I would not recommend this restaurant
