Clandeboye Lodge’s Coq & Bull brasserie has been awarded Best Sustainable Practices in County Down at the Ulster Regional Finals of the Irish Restaurant Awards 2026.

The Irish Restaurant Awards celebrates outstanding achievements and recognises excellence across the industry at a national level- with over 150,000 nominations from the public this year.

The Coq & Bull brasserie‘s menus are shaped by the finest Northern Irish ingredients, with produce carefully sourced from trusted suppliers. Vegetables are grown on the Ards Peninsula, dairy comes from grass-fed herds, seafood is fresh from the Irish Sea and meats are locally reared.

“We’re delighted to receive this recognition. It reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering a high-quality dining experience for our guests.” – Andrea Robb, Coq & Bull Brasserie Manager.

All county winners will now progress to the All-Ireland Final, taking place in Dublin this May.
