After reading great reviews on TA, I made a booking for my husband, grown-up daughter and myself for lunch before heading to Portaferry. We got a lovely welcome and given a choice of table which we picked looking out over the gardens. It was just after noon and lunch service was just beginning. Although quiet, the restaurant/bar had a cosy and relaxed atmosphere, we felt really comfortable and treated like old friends. Armed with wine and a beer the 3 of us decided on an assortment of starters, great decision. Three crumbed brie, two pulled beef sliders (tender beef, bbq sauce in a dinky wee brioche bun) and lightly battered mushrooms. Seriously good food, and plenty of it! As the restaurant started to fill, we were given time to enjoy our food, with attentive but unobtrusive service. This place is wonderful, friendly staff, lovely surroundings and outstanding food. Very resonable prices on drinks and food. Totally recommended. Thank you so much for your kind words, Gives us all a lift. i will ensure all the staff are aware. We hope to see you again soon and thanks for choosing the Brig. Cheers.

We enjoyed excellent food and a well stocked bar at this old, and busy pub. I had lamb which was very tender, and my wife and I shared a rhubarb apple crumble served with custard sauce and local vanilla ice cream. The trad music with six or seven musicians singing, playing guitars and a harpist, left no doubt that we were really in Ireland.
