Two local spots have been named as one of the 30 best places to grab a pub Sunday lunch in the UK.
Ranked by The Guardian, The Morning Star in Belfast and The Brewers House in Co Tyrone are the only two pubs in Northern Ireland to make the list.
Both spots have been included on "the trail of great pub lunches" to try out for yourself in the UK.

A standout for their oysters and boxty, The Morning Star has been recognised for its homegrown produce.
The Guardian said: "Under the friendly eye of James McAllister, whose mum and dad ran it before him, the Morning Star is the glamorous but frayed old queen of Belfast pubs, with a huge ground floor bar and a lounge with dining tables upstairs.
"It lies up an 'entry' like a misplaced palace. Belfast’s entries are narrow cobbled alleyways linking the bigger streets – this one is between the High Street and Ann Street.
"They are the vestiges of an older port city, as narrow as the lanes in Marrakech’s medina – and just as atmospheric. The pub sources seriously good vegetables, seafood and meats, all locally, some from its own garden, and the menu changes according to what’s available.
"One winner is prawn boxty – lush Kilkeel langoustines in a fiery tomato sauce served with a traditional potato-based pancake. If the oysters are on, a half-dozen make an unbeatable lunch with a pint of stout."
The Brewer's House in Donaghmore is known for its "crowd pleasers" amongst the scenic background of The Sperrins.
The Guardian continued: "The food culture of Ireland took its time to get out into the country, but when Ciaran McCausland came home after a stint in London, he knew what to do with his family’s staid old pub – put in a new kitchen and hire some good staff.
"Among crowd-pleasers such as fiery chicken wings, soups and burgers are fresh Strangford mussels; roast saddle of monkfish with a cassoulet of butter beans sexed up with ’nduja and madeira; goat’s cheese tart; and rump of Sperrins lamb with mint risotto.
"Chef Tommy Mangan watches the seasons like a weatherman and matches the menus to it every couple of months. Close to the Sperrin Mountains, this is an area popular with cyclists and hikers, who as winter comes are glad to find this place and put their boots up to the fire."
