Pier 36
Pub grub overlooking Donaghadee Harbour. What’s not to like? Both the food and the service are of a consistently high standard here. The Guardian named it one of the Top 6 Fish Restaurants in the UK and it’s also won the BBC Olive magazine Gastro Pub of the Year Award. What got them going were the daily specials. They cook with Strangford Lough’s best shellfish and superb local monkfish, lobster and sole.
Meat eaters need not worry either. They hang their own beef, so it’s perfectly tender. The local venison and organic gammon are well worth trying. The day we were there we munched on whitebait followed by bread and butter pudding for lunch, but we’re going back to have those queenie scallops.
Try the new lunch and grill value menus. Two courses with a glass of wine just £15.90 Monday-Thursday.
You can stay overnight too, but we’d be tempted to book in for the week just to try everything! But why not start off with the Steak and Stay for two with dinner, wine and B&B for just £119. It’s a no brainer!
