Cookes of Dublin
Cookes of Dublin is the quick-service kid sibling to the sit-down Raglan Road right next door at The Landing — and arguably the smarter order if you’re hungry rather than dawdling. The Cooke family has been frying fish with a closely guarded batter recipe in Dublin for generations, and that lineage shows: this is genuinely fresh, hot-out-of-the-fryer pub food, made to order rather than pulled from a warming drawer. You get the soul of Raglan Road’s kitchen at a fraction of the price and without the table commitment.
The menu is short, hearty, and unapologetically Irish: that famous fish & chips, a Dubliner burger, the cheekily-named Hog in a Box, and a handful of fried indulgences. Portions are big — bordering on shareable — and everything skews rich, so this is a place you come hungry and leave very full. The one real catch is seating: indoor space is tight and limited, so this is best treated as a grab-and-go or patio operation, not a leisurely linger.
It’s not refined and it’s not light — the fried offerings can feel heavy if you order three of them — but as a fast, flavorful, generously portioned counter meal in a part of Disney Springs full of pricier rooms, it punches well above its dollar sign.
This is for the person who wants the best fish & chips in Disney Springs without paying Raglan Road prices or surrendering 90 minutes to a table. Skip it if you want a calm sit-down meal or something light — embrace it if you want hot, fresh, hearty pub food fast. Two light-to-medium eaters can genuinely split one main plus a side and walk away satisfied, which makes it one of the better value plays at The Landing.
