Big 7 Travel said: "The Parson’s Nose is an award-winning gastropub set in an elegant Georgian townhouse in Hillsborough village.

"The menu is teeming with dry–aged steaks, succulent seafood and proper pub grub classics.

"Chefs make great use of the wonderful Northern Irish produce, with hot smoked salmon to start and a fantastic salt-aged sirloin with Bushmills pepper sauce for main."
