2024 Award Winners CASUAL DINING AWARD 2024 - NEIGHBOURHOOD RESTAURANT

No 14 Georgian House, Comber, Co Down

A lovely listed building dating back to 1722, No. 14 Georgian House makes an atmospheric setting for this thoughtfully structured enterprise by the highly regarded, classically trained chef Jim Mulholland and his wife Joanne. Very different from the ambitious culinary destinations established by so many chefs, this is place where the customer is king and - as proclaimed on a large ‘Farm to Table’ sign perched on the mantelpiece in the main dining room – Jim’s trusted network of local producers and suppliers are his greatest allies in achieving his goals. Unusually for a chef at this level, No.14 is open all day - and, far from being just a special occasion destination, it is a welcoming part of the local community and accessible to all, a restaurant where you can have freshly baked scones and coffee, a casual lunch or an opulent fine dining experience at dinner. Whether just popping in or enjoying a celebration, what every visit here will have in common is extremely tasty fresh food and the warmly efficient service of a local team – and Chef Mulholland’s skill and creativity in showcasing seasonal Irish produce makes this friendly place a must-visit destination.
