Nana's Kitchen in Down

It was the first time. The interior is almost clean, but for me there is not enough space, the tables are very close, probably due to this it was very noisy, all conversations are very loud. But the food is delicious) Thank you!

Says dog friendly but we where turned away and told not the day

Lovely place to have a hearty vegetarian meal. Lovely staff and really nice place too.

Had really mediocre food, quite disappointing as I had visited Castlewellan a few times and this cafe was usually busy. We had a full breakfast and a bagel. I thought the breakfast was average and the bagel was extremely poor. Really disappointing experience.

Good food good service and good atmosphere. Will be back.

Je ne mets pas 5 étoiles car ce n'est pas de la grande cuisine mais le restaurant est très sympathique, les plats que nous avons commandés étaient très bons et les tarifs très corrects.

Delightful small restaurant situated on the lower end of Castlewellan Main Street. Family friendly and offering a range of tasty healthy meals and follow up desserts. Friendly chatty staff and free street parking right in front of the premises, although spaces may be scarce at times. Prices keenly competitive!

Not the best breakfast, poached eggs had fully cooked yokes and everything was a bit meh.

We had the pleasure of dining in Nana's Kitchen. The moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome. The food was delicious. But what truly stood out was the service. We had 2 babies in tow and were crying the whole place out but the staff were understanding and genuine. They even offered to keep the food warm for us when we were trying to soothe the babies to sleep. This restaurant is a gem, and we wholeheartedly recommend it. Exceptional experience. 🤍

Lovely food and good service go once and you'll go back for it is real good food and well cooked

Fantastic place food is delicious staff friendly great atmosphere come in and try for yourselves

Great for a wee rest cup of tea or a grand meal come in and see for yourselves

A very friendly cafe staff was lovely didn't rush us even doe they was closing. Will definitely recommend nanas kitchen and we will go back.

Came here today for a bite to eat, had myself the Ulster Fry. Food was amazing and Leeanne and staff were so friendly as well. Would definitely recommend if you are in the area!! Thanks everyone at Nanas!

The food is superb lovely decorations and great service staff were very friendly

Great for a fry up or light lunch

Great place to get some excellent food at very reasonable prices! I ordered the fish & chips, and because the fish broke into 2 pieces in the fryer they brought out an additional fresh piece to make up for it

Excellent wee homemade delightful cafe superb homemade proper grub & Lovely staff well done Nana's a wee Gem off a cafe excellent 100% will be back 👌🏼

Real Nana's food in excellent prices

So glad we found this place in castlewellan. Very homely,and we were warmly welcomed on a cold rainy Sunday morning. Obviously the house fry was chosen with coffee, and clean plates all round . Would definitely recommend .

I ordered a fry which was lovely,my husband got a beef sizzler which was gone in about 2 minutes and my daughter got burger and chips which she also enjoyed (chips were particularly nice we thought),also friendly service and didn't have long to wait🙂👍

Fabulous breakfast, great staff and service - went back 3 times! Better than the nearby hotel!

Went here on a trip to castlewellan with friends. The service was super friendly and we all ordered frys

Great food and great staff. 5 stars+

Fast service and friendly staff, close to both Tollymore and Castlewellan Forest park

Lovely place, greeted at door by a lovely girl called Katie, showing to our table, offered menus . Once ordered drinks came, didn't have long to wait for the food. Food was great, I'd a steak sandwich and skinny chips really good, partner had an omette he really enjoyed as did his son who had a chicken sandwich which was really full. Seating outside at front but a really lovely seating out the back and we were told you can take a dog out there also. Other girls very friendly also. Would recommend this place.

The staff very friendly and food fantastic and good portions

Staff very welcoming, very friendly and helpful even tho busy.. food was lovely .. Will definitely be back 😊

Great food reasonably priced and very friendly staff

Great for breakfast or lunch very clean and lovely decor with good variety and friendly staff

Great value....lovely food.....Great staff

I heartily recommend Nana's Kitchen! The service, the freshness of the food and the serving are perfect. The place is clean! It was a pleasure for me to eat fresh food there and drink a really good cappuccino. 😉😊

Lovely cooked breakfast. Pleasant and efficient service.

This is a first class restaurant, situated just off Castlewellan main street. Well worth a visit. Service and food are excellent. Particularly liked the coffee top up.

Great staff and a wee fry is worth having.

Great breakfast and great service

Call in at Nana's Kitchen, for abit of lunch. Service was very friendly and attentive, food was lovely and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend 😁

I’d high hopes for this little place, the table and floor were quite dirty when we went in but it was busy. A couple of tatty menus covered in marker were set in front of us without a word and zero effort made to wipe our table so we just got a bad feel about cleanliness and left. We didn’t try the food obviously so I’ve given it three stars instead of one to give them the benefit of the doubt on that.

Meal was outstanding and good value. Staff were friendly and obliging. Would recommend to others.

So me and the wife and friends with us called in after visiting Mount Panther Farm. I had checked reviews on this place the night before on Google and they were good.we walked into a quirky little cafe and took a table to sit 6 people. Nothing was any trouble for these guys, the staff were excellent. We all ordered our meals and drinks..and they came all perfectly presented..this is no greasy spoon cafe..everyone commented on how good the food was, I myself had the curry and rice and it was hot..the 2 kids had lasagne and I could tell it wasn't any of that frozen rubbish other cafes sell...and the wife had chicken goujons that looked more like fillets than goujons, they were massive and she said how nice they were..and the other 2 had a fry and a panini..if your looking food in Castlewellan give this place a try..fir 6 of us it came to £60 which we thought was reasonable..well done Nana's Kitchen..10 out of 10...

Food beautiful.. staff very friendly and welcoming 😄

Popped in to Nanas this afternoon for a bite of lunch...Good safety precautions under covid....service was fine and food although looked pretty average was very nice only fault id asked for tea as well as a soft drink but it never came ...although only 3 star rate I would go back

Great food and very pleasant staff

Was in today with my mum for lunch. We had one chicken and one beef sizzler with chips and rice. Food, service and value for money exceptional. Just honest quality food with friendly local hospitality. Always worth a visit.

Gorgeous food and great staff! Clean plates all round

Lovely food and staff. Very reasonable prices

Great breakfasts, friendly staff & service with a smile, what more could you ask for? What?! You'd also like value for money and convenience, OK. Done and done! Nan has both. In the heart of Castlewellan so pop in before or after your Mournes hike, your Castlewellan Park walk or your trip to the beach at Newcastle. Don't forget to pop over the road to Blue Beans to get your sounvenirs!

Fantastic at Paddy's day Eve stew along with delish home made wheaten bread! Check this out. It's just FAB

Amazing food best hangover cure

Great food very reasonable prices.

Popped in for tea and cake after a walk in Castlewellan Country Park. Soooo good! Great big pot of really good tea and chocolate cake garnished just like in a posh restaurant!! Lovely friendly staff. Good disabled toilets and access. Brilliant pai tings too!!

Good food, veggie options and friendly service. Plenty of parking around.

Fantastic place to call in for great food. Really friendly staff too.

Good place..lovely atmosphere..nice staff

Food was lovely! Definently worth a visit!

The best staff, genuinely lovely and caring people will always go out of their way to help you! Great place to take young children, the best place to sit in and eat, everything cooked to perfection, even when really busy food comes out quick and to a very high standard! Great prices too, we visit most Sundays and on the kids birthdays! Always so warm and welcome I would recommend to anyone!

Lovely food and the staff are really friendly

Lovely food at affordable prices . Staff so friendly and attentive . One must try their home made Shortbread .❤

Great friendly staff,lovely Atmosphere, &Great food.

I don't leave many reviews but simply had to this time! The food here was exceptional. I had the most gorgeous quiche ever, freshly made, light, moist and full of flavour. My Father had the breakfast bap, also exceptional. Staff are most friendly and the cafe is spotless. Thank you for the complimentary homemade shortbread biscuits, a nice touch. I'll be back!!

When I’m home I love to go here with my mum and sister for lunch . The food is really tremendous value , excellent quality and such friendly local staff . You really couldn’t get better . My favourite is their Irish fry but to be honest it’s all great Couldn’t recommend it high enough

Best value in C'wellan and quality great too

Amazing staff... make you feel at home and service is always with a smile, they excel on what u would expect normal service to be and nothing is to much for them even when they are run of their feet. Food is amazing, pricing is great don’t miss an opportunity to call in!

Lovely food, quick service, and lovely friendly staff.

Every year when we go to the Soma Festival in Castlewellan we make a point of eating at Nana’s Kitchen. Beautiful cafe with absolutely gorgeous food and the most lovely staff. We always have a seat by the window to watch the town go by. This year I had an amazing chicken dish with rice and when I asked for my sauce on the side it wasn’t a problem at all. Definitely recommend this place, it’s been one of my favourites.

Great service and prices. Will visit again.

Overtaken by a sudden urge for food, Nana’s Kitchen distinctive sign leapt into view. Situated towards the lower square and opposite Shilliday’s traditional hardware store the aroma of a welcoming all day breakfast wafted on the breeze. In the event common sense took a grip and we opted for Spicy Tomato soup with homemade wheaten bread. A great choice. Staff were delightfully friendly, the place busy, the food delicious and generous and the prices modest. Many thanks.

Friendly staff and really great food.

Great food, great price, great service. Couldn't fault it. Well worth a visit😀

Took our family of four to Nanas kitchen on Mayday,during the Castlewellan Fair, and I can definitely say I will return to Castlewellan just for the delight that is Nanas Kitchen🍳🥓 We both had the cooked breakfast 1 large 1 small and the portions were excellent and the price included our teas and coffees. The ladies even gave us some lovely little buns at the end of our meal🧁Everything was cooked to perfection and the standard of customer care was excellent. If in Castlewellan this cafe is a must. 5 ⭐️‘s

Came here for lunch on Sunday. The lasagne and chips were delicious and the panini looked good too! Staff were friendly and the food was great. The menu had a great selection from light bites to filling meals, would definately stop here again!

Beautiful dry fry and the best chips i have ever eaten. Food excellent!

First time visiting. Great choice on menu, staff so friendly (even on a hot bank hol when I'm sure they'd rather be somewhere else). Loved our refil of coffee and custard creams where a lovely touch. Genuine interest from staff about our plans for the day. Thank you.

Excellent and enjoyable dining experience with delicious food, welcoming staff and atmosphere

Lovely coffee shop, very friendly and good coffee.

Asked to sit at a table we ordered two coffees. Sat 15 mins waiting nothing came so we walked out and no one even noticed Poor service.

Fantastic value for money and brilliant service - £5.95 for a big, tasty fry and a pot of tea is exceptional value. I don't normally leave reviews for restaurants, but I felt compelled to this time. Will definitely be recommending it to anyone up visiting Castlewellan.

Fantastic food great prices and friendly service
