Coq Bull - North Down

Nice setting. Good and friendly staff. Used to be very reliable food ways, but like most places, the costs have risen. Maybe too high as the quality has not. Nothing exciting on the menu. Fish is fish. Chicken is chicken. The steak was small, thin and tough. The sides were expensive for the amount given. Ordered cocktails, but they didn’t have the kick and a small choice. Could do with a mixologist of a good cocktail book. Setting and staff def help, but it’s about the product and it’s not exciting.

This is a gem in terms of quality. The food, service, drinks and decor everything that makes for an enjoyable night out. Service staff were really pleasant and professional. Genuinely everyone seemed happy to be there and added to the experience with recommendations. Food genuinely one of the nicest meals that I have had. Quality of ingredients, presentation and cooking was obvious and this exceeded my expectations which were already high after hearing other positive comments. Setting/decor a warm, comfortable and beautifully decorated setting for Christmas with atmospheric music playing in the background. Will definitely return and happy to recommend to others.

Each year in early December we treat ourselves to a lovely Sunday lunch here. The staff were very welcoming and gave a very good service to a packed dining room without being obtrusive. As usual the food choices were excellent and the meal throughout was delicious. Surely we will find an excuse to come again before next December rolls in.

Just had a lovely Christmas meal the Coq Bull ,Service great, Atmosphere very relaxing, Xmasy.

6 of us had Sunday lunch. We could not fault the food or the welcoming staff. The menu had something for everyone and we had starters of the prawns and bread selection. Mains were Sunday roast beef special, fish cakes and battered fish, all lovely. Desserts too were excellent. We loved the atmosphere and we got just the right level of attention from staff. Would definitely recommend and would return.
