Really nice place to eat, and the staff are great. Good parking and an ideal start to exploring the village. Friendliness is everything!
A family favourite even though the Spinnaker is some way away. Great quality food, really friendly service and a must visit. Quality kids menu, which is rare. Donʼt forget your own wine...
I went down to Strangford to buy some chips for dinner. My usual carry out was closed so I stopped at the Spinnaker instead. I have to say I was very impressed the chips were like nothing else I have ever tried. They were proper homemade chips like you donʼt get anywhere else. I canʼt wait to try something else now. The beutiful smell of baking when you walk in is mouthwatering. Definetly would reccommed.
I went to the Spinnaker for an organised evening event (you can book the whole restaurant) and have also been there for lunch. On both occasions the food and service were first class and the atmosphere is relaxed. The steaks were delicious.
