Called on spec ... hadn't been for years. Immediately impressed by the warmth, cosiness, and ambience. The staff were positive and welcoming. The service was very good and the food piping hot: the katsu chicken curry, in particular, was excellent. It was a good decision to call in!

Found this Bar towards the end of our holiday at Tollymore Forest Park. Shame, as it ticked all the boxes for us, good food (sensibly priced), good service and great atmosphere. It didn't strike me as a touristy bar just a great local. Would totally recommend.

We visited Newcastle for the Irish Open and The Maghera Inn was recommended to us. We visited the restaurant and were delighted that we did. It was the best meal we had in years. The food, service and hospitality was wonderful. We loved it and highly recommend it.

The perfect setting for Corporate clients following a day at the Irish Open 2024. Fantastic food, drinks, venue and setting – quick, efficient and friendly service too. The team at the Maghera Inn were absolutely brilliant. Big shout out to Ryan who took care of our group of 12 on this occasion - fantastic service and a real credit to the brilliant Maghera Inn team.

The Maghera Inn is confusing if you haven't been there before. The Inn is a bar and restaurant and the carpark is at the back. The carpark has three sides so you're not always aware how busy it is. The bar part is quite dark and if you would like food you have to wait to be seated. The restaurant at the back has lots of windows. The bar part less so. As it had a number of reservations, we were seated in the darker bar part. The chicken stack and the cheesy topped Guinness and steak pie were good. Service was fine but reserved.

Down in the Mournes for the day doing some walking-we found this place on Trip Advisor. From the minute we walked in-we loved this place. Loved the decor, the cosyness and the customer service was excellent. The food was outstanding-beautifully presented, massive portions and tasted so good. Big shout out to Ryan who served us-as warm, hospitable and friendly as we’ve met. Well done Ryan!

Myself and my family were staying in Dundrum last week. Came here for dinner on Wednesday night and it was nothing short of incredible. We had steak, ribs and chowder. Everything was amazing. The steak was perfectly cooked and delicious, the ribs fell off the bone and the sauce was delectable. The chowder was next level, fresh fish and creamy soup to go with. I'll definitely be back

Very disappointed with the food yesterday. I had the Lasagne which was terrible was mostly cheese and the little bit of mince that was in it was so dry. Another one of my party had the burger and they were not impressed either saying it was so dry as well with no real taste I have been on previous occasions and food was normally very good but I'm afraid yesterday will put me of going back in a hurray

Have used here on previous occasions, the most recent time which was 2yrs ago and everything was nice. open fire, nice atmosphere & food was lovely. However, went a few days ago with 3 kids and 2 adults (didn't book) around 1150am. The place was empty and was only to be told RUDELY they could not us provide us with a table. Its understandable if they have bookings and all tables were full, but unfortunately this was not the case. If this was my business i would try and accommodate every customer walked through the door. This is lost business and i think its fair to say i will not return or recommend to family or friends. We then went on into Newcastle only for O'hares to take us as a walk in with no issues. so my advice would be going forward book a table in advance.

Great busy atmosphere. Food wise portions are very generous. Chicken liver parfait and crumbed mushrooms were good starters and then the salmon was OK - huge portion of salmon. Sausage and mash also good. The onion rings were disappointing and wouldn't order again. Too much batter and the onions were very bland, basically just a doughy flavour.

We went to the Maghera Inn a few weeks ago. We booked the table for 20:30, so a late booking but I must say it was a lovely experience from the food to the service and all around we had a fantastic time. We were the last to leave the restaurant but the staff never made us feel rushed. We both had the salmon and the portion size for that dish was massive and the aroma.... We're definitely going to come back again.

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

My partner and I came for dinner here and we were super excited because we’d heard so many amazing reports about this establishment. We were bitterly disappointed, the fish and chips was mediocre but the rib stack was atrocious, they were swimming in bbq sauce to the point that the sauce was falling all over the sides of the plate, I think to hide the fact that there was barely any meat on the ribs. The onion rings were so hard I could have smashed the mirror with them. The service was poor because the staff were more interested in chatting to each other than serving tables(we’d waited more than a sufficient amount of time to be asked what dessert we’d like) overall it’s just a shame because we heard such amazing reports previously. I won’t be back.
