A Northern Irish bar and restaurant has been named as one of the top 50 gastropubs in the UK, according to a new ranking.
Compiled by travel website Big 7 Travel, the list takes a look at the hospitality outlets which, in their own words, are "watering holes that can also compete with top restaurants when it comes to food."
The list is full of fantastic bars and restaurants throughout the UK, with one Northern Ireland venue getting a prized place in the top 20.
Hillsborough's charming pub, The Parson's Nose, came in at 13th on Big 7 Travel's rankings.
Those who have visited the pub will already be familiar with how elegant and picturesque it is - with high ceilings, ornate fireplaces and lakeside views.
Now, the bar can add another string to its bow.
In praising The Parson's Nose, Big 7 Travel wrote:
"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."
The site also praised the incorporation of local NI produce into the menu.
They said: "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."
