Maghera Inn in Down

Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Really nice atmosphere and always get good food! Will be back We have steak & a full rack of ribs would highly recommend this restaurant

Lovely old fashioned country pub. Authentic and atmospheric, offering warm and attentive service, big portions and a nice variety of options, including a kids menu and desserts. Loved it!

This place was recommended highly by friends and I’m so glad I made the journey the steak was beautiful and the staff were so attentive we will definitely be back 👍👍

Cosy country pub and restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. Always guaranteed excellent food and great service. Be sure to book in advance as almost always busy.

Excellent food, very friendly service, lovely atmosphere. Another great meal at the Maghera Inn. Highly recommend for families and couples alike.

We visited here after having it recommended to us. It certainly didn't disappoint!!! As soon as you walked in the door all of the staff were so friendly, love the decor especially the Christmas decorations!!! The food was absolutely gorgeous and we'll definitely be back.

Had the most gorgeous evening here, setting , staff and food was top notch! Best steak we’ve both had in a very long time! Will be back from Dublin 100% Highly recommend f you’re in the area

Lovely venue, great atmosphere but staff unhelpful and dismissive if you just want a drink or coffee mid afternoon.

This establishment has to be the cosiest, most comfortable, casual bar/restaurant on the planet. More importantly the food and service and friendliness are superb. I have started to go on a Friday afternoon to treat myself and I honestly cannot complain about one single thing. The food is so tasty, plentiful and well presented. It is consistently delicious, not common in this day and age. The roast dinners are actually the best anywhere because they actually taste of old fashioned roast dinners. Well done the Inn, I’m so happy I’ve found you.

Hadn’t been here in a few years and decided to return as a family as we had rented accommodation in the Mournes and wanted a decent meal. Wasn’t disappointed, the food was lovely and portion sizes were great.The service was good considering the place was packed, about a thirty min wait. I’d recommend the salmon,it was delicious, my daughter in law had the roast beef and loved it. One small thing though, we had one member of our group still eating and the waitress whipped away everyone else’s plates. Overall a great experience and will definitely return

Recommended by the B&B we were staying at. Service was prompt, friendly and efficient. Ordered one of their specials and their salmon dish. The portions are huge, one could easily feed two. The meal was hot, delicious and plentiful. Good atmosphere, clearly a Favorite of locals and understandably so. Go hungry and you will not be disappointed. The chef and staff are to be commended. Glad we took the advice of our host.

The atmosphere, the food & the staff were just fabulous! We came for a family night out & had the best time. The Service was so friendly, with staff very knowledgeable about the menu, such an extensive choice! Cocktails went down a treat. A great atmosphere in this pub, we would highly recommend to anyone.

Had a great visit, staff are superb. Loved the seafood chowder and the sizzling platter (beef fillet) was fantastic. We'll definitely be back

Place never disappoints, everything just perfect, beautiful food and extremely fast service, all staff are wonderful. 100% would recommend!

Love Maghera Inn, always guaranteed a good meal. Went with the family on Friday for dinner. Food was amazing, we ordered steak which was cooked exactly how we liked it & katsu curry. The sauce is phenomenal 👌🏼 Great service, the staff provided the kids...

Called in for Sunday lunch which didn’t disappoint, had chicken strips for starter which were amazing and then the roast turkey and ham for mains which was delicious, the portions are great, I had gravy on mine and the son had peppered sauce on his and both were out off this world, the whole experience was amazing from the tentative and friendly service to the amazing food to the new furniture this is most go to place

Waitress was so ignorant !! Just sat down and immediately asked to order I ask her to give us a minute and she was not amused .then when she came to take order I asked for mushrooms for starter she told my family we hadn't...

The booking process was a bit disappointing but we liked the Maghera apart from it taking a long time to place our order - 45 minutes. The food was great and the service good once we’d overcome the original delay.

The food was unreal but the service is really poor. Walked through the door and had to wait 5 mins before anyone would say can I help you. I then sat down and I'm a man that doesn't m8nd waiting on my food if I...

Phoned to book table today was told there was availability at 4 I accepted and said I'd be right down takes about 10 mins from my home. Arrive at the restaurant and a lady asked us do we have a booking I replied we do...

This is a cute little Inn and serves the best Roast Beef and Yorkshire Puddings! I went twice while staying in Northern Ireland as I loved it so much.

Decent grub, decent Guinness. Bar is cute, but if you want a drink before food, arrive early, they are really pushy to get you in and out of the table. 4 mentions in 5 minutes about going to table and the bill came within 10...

Fantastically warm welcome with service excellent. We were treated with superb food and a huge serving of humour : just what the doc ordered. Fiona and Gayle welcomed us like their own family/ friends each with their own sense of humour made our visit(s) [came...

Visited Maghera Inn on Thurs 18th for dinner. What a superb meal it was. One of the best fillet steaks I have had in a long time. The chicken stack also tasted super. Staff very friendly and attentive. Hope to visit again soon!

Traditional pub which serves great food. Good atmosphere with friendly staff. Would recommend booking as very busy mid week when we went.

Excellent food, excellent service, would never pass it. Sunday lunch is always good. Nice place for a Guinness too.

Had a wonderful Sunday Lunch yesterday, couldn't fault it. The food was out of this world and the staff were top notch. It was that good we have rebooked for next Sunday.

We came on a staycation to County Down and saw this pub was nearby Castlewellan. Dog friendly on the patio, staff are absolutely lovely and such good craic. Come here hungry as the portions are huge! Food is one of the best pub lunches I’ve...

Amazing food, great personalized service. Really enjoyed the atmosphere. I’ve been in Northern Ireland for three weeks and this was my favorite restaurant.

Wow. I loved this place and I don't think there are many words in the English language to describe how I found this diamond, so I'll leave it at wow!! Setting is out of this world. Restaurant is beautiful. Waiting staff attentive, funny and added...

Very rude head of staff, very unfriendly, wouldn’t go back , never even got to try food as this lady was so rude and unhelpful. Would not recommend. Also beer garden is basically a car park.

Fantastic. Probably the best steak this side of the Atlantic - maybe better! Friendly, helpful staff who knew the menu inside out. Mussels for starters - sweet, salty, delicious, served in a cream sauce with a beautiful wedge of home made bread. Had no intention...

Love this restaurant bar . Staff are so friendly food is great. The setting is great. Can’t wait to get back there again what a wonderful menus something for everybone

Have been trying for ages to attend this venue and succeeded when I booked a Friday afternoon. We were certainly not disapointed. First we had 2 cocktails which hit the spot. The roast beef was very tender and melted in the mouth. The chicken stack...

This hacienda but a stretch of the legs distance wise from the seaside town of Newcastle Co Down ( well a 12 minute car drive actually)is a sharp looking establishment inside and spot on outside too. Trade is lean at these times due the microscopic...

Food is absolutely beautiful, the ribs fell apart when you touched them and the lasagna was fresh and meaty not frozen or precooked, absolutely beautiful. The portions are big we were full to the brim. I dropped a cake off before hand for my mummy's...

this place is in a small village, but it is worth finding. coffees were served to us outside as requested. service was with a smile. must go back for a meal next time.

Came here last night at DinnerTime. The chilli chicken strips were fantastic, I was surprised of the portion size for a Starter. When my salmon came I realised that that they give you portions so great that you might as well be in America. Nonetheless,...

Folks the food and service tonight was brilliant tonight as always, being a customer sitting there and enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and hearing the tables around us saying how good the food was is a credit to you all. Fillet steak was amazing and nothing...

Went for Sunday lunch starters of mussels & pate where excellent with all opting for lamb for the main. Overall a fantastic meal.

Rib eye steak - Good and cooked as ordered. Truffle/parmesan fries - Disappointing, these were skinny fries but would work MUCH better with regular home-made fries. Salmon - A tiny bit overcooked but still very good. Overall, very enjoyable meal.

We had such a wonderful time here on our trip to Down. They went above and beyond to cater to our needs and the food was fantastic each time. Highly recommend everyone but you can ask for Paula.

wonderful meal as always. food, service and decor cant be faulted. lovely atmosphere. highly recommended.

Three of us stopped for lunch on a Wednesday afternoon. The premises are tastefully decorated and very homely. Staff are very welcoming and quite bubbly. The food was good and the portions were generous. None of us would be massive fans of burgers or steak...

Had dinner here on Saturday 1st August. Food was beautiful! Attitude of our waitress left a lot to be desired.. not overly friendly and very abrupt. Social distancing between tables wasn’t great.. definitely less than the recommendation of 2 metres. Lovely venue, food to die...

A first class establishment! Have been here several times and not once been disappointed. Great food, great atmosphere. Just a lovely little place to eat/drink.

Are here with a group of friends for a 40th. All the food we had was scrumptious. The service was excellent too. A busy spot, so definitely book, but we'll worth a visit. And the brownies are definitely worth the calories!

Friendly helpful staff, view of Slieve Donald, cosy atmosphere and the most delicious seafood chowder ever! Don’t change your recipe Chef!

Terrific place. The food was excellent, as was the Guinness. Excellent service, super buzz about the place. Very popular with locals (always a good sign) although tricky to find if you don't know where it is. Would absolutely return at the drop of a hat....

Service good but our meals were not synchronised so my mum's chips were cold. Had a better meal in the past.
