The Hillside is a charming, rustic pub situated in the historic Georgian village of Hillsborough, County Down, only 15 minutes’ drive from Belfast city centre. The Hillside first opened its doors to patrons in 1752 and has been enjoying a busy trade ever since thanks to its excellent food and drinks selection and friendly, welcoming service. It is renowned for roaring open fires in the winter and a pretty cobblestoned beer garden in the summer.

Gastronomes will delight in their mouth-watering seasonal menu, which is
complemented by a comprehensive selection of daily specials. Their Head Chef always endeavours to make the most of the wonderful local produce so abundantly available in County Down. You might have half a pint of local prawns with lemon aioli, free-range chicken pie with leek and smoked applewood cheese served with smoked garlic mash, followed by cheesecake of the day with Draynes Farm Ice Cream.

The restaurant is family-friendly, offering a fantastic children’s menu to suit all tastes. Needless to say; a good pub would be nothing without an excellent drinks selection to enjoy with the wonderful food. They are one of the very few local bars to offer real pump ales as well as craft ciders, lagers, and stouts. They also have an extensive wine list and a wide range of spirits including some fine Irish whiskeys.
