Spotted this wee gem online when looking for somewhere to take the family for breakfast. Friendly staff, cosy atmosphere and good food. We will be back.

Have been coming to Dinner Bell for regularly over a long period of time but have noticed a slow decline in standards and service .. tables not being cleared and rather slip shod service from staff.. no condiments .. incorrect spoons .. radio blaring pop music from kitchen .. these are all little things but this lovely wee restaurant is and should be better than this

My husband and I have been here on quite a number of occasions and always found the staff to be really friendly, professional and courteous. In July we had three members of our Canadian family here on holiday for a month and they enjoyed the food and the 'craic' so much they had to have a return visit before they returned home. When my husband and I had lunch today, we were able to relate how our Canadian family loved their experiences in The Dinner Bell. Today I had the best mushroom and chicken soup I have ever tasted and my husband, who loves his Ulster fries told Sam, one of the chefs, that this was the best place he had been to in Donaghadee, and beyond, for a seriously good and perfectly cooked fry. Thank you also to Lea, who was so friendly and chatty while she was serving us. Top notch . Thank you all. Denise

Beautiful surroundings and an even more beautiful lunch - a simple soup and toasted sandwich combo but it couldn’t have been tastier! I didn’t realise the soup of the day was broccoli and Stilton until it arrived and I hate both those things so I wouldn’t have ordered it had I known, but it was a revelation, a taste sensation! Also very friendly and attentive staff, so all in all, excellent.
Me and my family love it here. I personally like they lunch options but my family prefer the breakfast. HIGHLY

Went for the large fry, very tasty. If you go make sure to check out the walled garden.

I honestly don't know where to start. I was looking for a beautiful location to celebrated my friends hen party. I came across this little diamond that ticked all the boxes. When i first contacted the Dinner Bell and found out that they do private functions i was delighted. Nothing at all was too much, the staff went above and beyond what was expected. I honestly can't thank them enough for making our day/night simply amazing. The food was fantastic and the homemade sausage rolls are a must :-) The location is outstanding with the beautiful hidden gardens. Thank you so much for having us. I am already looking an excuse to plan another party with you guys. Many Thanks and much love Claire x

We had a surprise birthday party for my auntie here and the guys couldn't have been more accommodating!!! I visited a few times before to plan and on the day, we were allowed in to decorate before also. The venue is perfect, loads of space, beautiful gardens and the food was amazing!!!! In fact, my husband who is a chef, talked about the sausage rolls endlessly afterwards!!!! Staff are so friendly too!!! Would 1000% recommend!!!!
