About

The Parson’s Nose comes with a pedigree that’s melded into the very fabric of the building. 

Located in the picturesque village of Royal Hillsborough, The Parson’s Nose was built by the first Marquis of Downshire in the late 1700s. This simple yet elegant Georgian townhouse has today been transformed into a characterful and charming dining pub with a delightful beer garden.

Since being purchased by Balloo Inns, the team that is also behind the landmark Balloo House in Killinchy, The Parson’s Nose has certainly been making a name for itself. Not only was it named in Georgina Campbell's Guide as Pub of The Year in Ireland 2023, but has also earned a listing in The Michelin Guide and has been a recipient of the Tourism NI Hospitality Award.

With local brews, and chef Jamie Saunderson responsible for the food, The Parson’s Nose delivers outstanding food and drink in an atmosphere of genteel hospitality.

The Parson’s Nose opens seven days a week, serving food from 12:00 through to last orders - 20.00 Sunday to Wednesday and 21.00 Thursday to Saturday.  Offering guests a very well- priced 2 for £22 offer on a Monday & Tuesday from 5pm- 2 Woodfired Sourdough Pizzas for £22.

Dogs are welcome in the front pub and beer garden.
