"Just had a lovely Christmas meal the Coq Bull ,Service great, Atmosphere very relaxing, Xmasy."
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.
It’s unusual these days for a restaurant to continue trading (in general) with consistently good service, standards, food quality and ambience. I’ve been dining here a few times a year for several years. I always have a great experience, and the standards have never slipped. The welcome is warm, the wines well priced, the menu varied (but you can request substitutions and the odd item that’s no longer on the menu) and the decor still looks great. Every time I visit I fall in love with a new dish. Tonight I fell in love with the coconut panna cotta! Would highly recommend!
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.
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.

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.
Another delightful lunch visit to Coq Bull! Ultra courteous service throughout our visit. Excellent variety on menu . . . it really was difficult to make a final choice! Food was absolutely delicious. We sat outside on the covered patio it was simply beautiful. Clandeboye Lodge is a real gem.
I love the Coq Bull restaurant. Its bright and airy with lovely staff. Always relaxed easy atmosphere with food as good as any fancy restaurant. We had salmon main with apple blackberry crumble. Both lovely. We will be back.
Food was excellent. Service a bit slow. Check your bill before leaving. I was charged £4.50 for roast potatoes with lamb. Discovered when I got home that they were included in price
