The Duke Restaurant

Seafood straight from Kilkeel harbour, and most other produce also sourced with a ten mile radius, is the foundation for Ciaran Gallagher’s success at his popular restaurant, which occupies the whole of the first floor over a pleasantly traditional pub, The Duke.

There’s a comfortable mixture of traditional and modern styles which, together with the busy atmosphere and friendly service, all add up to a relaxed ambience.

Like the surroundings, menus are balanced and well-tailored to the clientèle; crowd pleasers like surf’n’turf and chicken kiev take their regular places alongside some more ambitious dishes for discerning diners, notably local seafood.

Seats 65; air conditioning. D Wed-Sun, 6-9pm. Special set D Wed/Thu £14.95, also á la carte. House wine from about £12. No SC. Closed Mon, Tue. Amex, MasterCard, Visa, Switch.
