Simply the best. Went on Friday for lunch, we were a party of five, I had the steak and it was to die for. Service was amazing the guy who served us was so friendly and professional. Definitely my favorite restaurant, and I've dined in minchelin star.

Great food, atmosphere and friendly staff albeit one junior female waitress who had a bit of an attitude and lack of manners when returning change from the bill to our table and when we were leaving. Disappointing as I don't tip rudeness! Menu is a bit limited and could do with more choices.

We came for dinner on a Wednesday evening. We were given menus, to look at whilst we had drinks made. The menu consisted of 3 starters, 3 main, 3 desserts, we asked where the main menu was, as were we’re looking for vegetarian options, to be told we are only serving that menu, so you can have the goats cheese followed by the bean burger. We said we didn’t like the bean burger and were told “sorry that’s the options”. There was a specials menu that was given to us, which had an additional couple of meals, but again no vegetarian. The food we ordered was ok, but not worth a return visit, It could be such a lovely place, but the limited menu, and what seems like lack of interest from the staff really let it down.

Sunday early evening family meal out. First time we'd eaten at the Bull and Claw. Service was excellent. Bring your own crayons but staff are so kind and helpful with paper. We had the half lobster which in everyway was absolutely superb! Lobster was cooked perfectly and served cut around in the shell. Salad was a lovely mix of vegetables cheese and no scrimping on the a homemade dressing. Very impressive. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Mark served us with willing smile and helpfulness. Definitely recommend trying Donaghadee.Parking: Being Sunday evening we lucked out on 2 on street free parking spaces right in front of the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Although they couldn't find the crayons staff were brilliant to find paper.

Another visit with the family to enjoy fabulous food and service. Our favourite dish wasn’t on the menu - no probs the chef will make it specially. Friendly service, great food and drink in lovely surroundings. Can’t wait to go back on our next trip over from Scotland

Went to the Bull & Claw on Saturday evening. We were seated upstairs so away from the main bar and restaurant but unfortunately there was no Atmosphere at all. That being said the staff and food were excellent. I would recommend the Bull & Claw for the friendly staff and good food but make sure you get a table in the main bar.

Went for lunch there whilst visiting Donaghadee to see the filming of Hope Street, aired on BBC. The cod and chips I ate were as good as any I've eaten before. My wife and sister in law were particularly pleased with the batter.Made our visit a complete success.

Visited here as picked by someone else. Had high expectations that unfortunately weren’t met. Food was ok. Staff weren’t great with the drinks orders ie missed the original order etc . Location central but parking facilities not great
Delicious food and great service. Great menu too. I recommend the Hake. Or Chicken sandwich. Yummy. Good vibe. Reservations are recommended - it gets busy.

Probably the best meal we have had recently - Dover Sole x2 and a 1/2 Lobster.Really good and super service.

We've been quite a few times to the Bull and Claw in Donaghadee and the place never disappoints.Felt obliged to leave a review after our last visit because the sea trout that I had off the specials menu for that evening was the best bit of fish I've ever eaten. Kudos to the chef and Katie our server was fab as well. Well worth a visit if you are in Donaghadee.

An excellent vegan (masala) meal. The carnivore accompanying me was also well pleased. Unfortunately the vegan dessert was very limited but I was assured the chef is working on it. If it's as good as the mains, I'll be well pleased. Service excellent and prices reasonable.

Went for an evening meal - the Chowder starter was epic - beautifully seasoned, full of fish and prawns and the portion size was immense.Main course of trout, broccoli stems, new potatoes and a sauce to die for.Wanted the banoffee pie for desert, but had to admit defeat after the previous two courses.Staff were very friendly and professional. Highly recommend.
