The Buttery Markethill in Armagh

It was very quiet when we visited. Waitress was attentive and made us feel welcome. Food wss excellent - try the gammon First visit but we will be back.

Visited here with my wife and 2 teenagers in October. We had 4 full breakfasts and they were delicious. Tea and toast included. Friendly staff and very clean restaurant. Highly recommended.

My wife and I have eaten in the Buttery on a number of occasions, and have always enjoyed the food. We brought our son and his fiancée for a meal one Sunday evening, and as always we couldn’t fault the food. Unfortunately my son’s fiancée had to return her drink as there was lipstick on her glass. The waitress simply transferred her drink to another glass and returned it to the table. I find this unacceptable, especially in the middle of a pandemic. She asked for a fresh drink in a clean glass. The owner/manager came back to the table with the replacement drink and abruptly set it down on the table. She didn’t speak and made no attempt to apologise. I am disappointed at this apparent lack of customer service, where a simple apology would have been graciously accepted, as we totally accept that these things happen from time to time. As a result of this we will not be back.

My friend and her partner joined my husband and I in the Buttery in Markethill on Friday. We all had the steak meal for two priced at £39.99 per couple for 2 courses. The steaks were done to perfection and we all had no complaints. The service was very good and we all enjoyed our evening

We visited the Buttery for a Sunday evening meal and enjoyed every aspect. The service was fast and friendly, the food was served quickly and the food was presented beautifully & tasted incredible! Portion sizes are great! Excellent value!

Great food very well presented and hot served by friendly staff, cosy surroundings and not rushed out like some restaurants do...we will certainly be back

We had a brilliant sunday lunch at the buttery as part of a large group of 20 people we all had the 3 course sunday lunch menu which was excellent value for money, the service and the food were both excellent. The starters of brie and salted chilli chicken were very tasty and the main courses of turkey and ham and roast beef were well presented and tasted just as good, the desserts were to die for,i had the homemade cheesecake one of the best I've tasted!!! Definitely will be back can't wait to try the evening menu.

Fantastic experience all round. Food was great service was good without being over the top. We will definitely return

What was supposed to be a nice family meal turned into a total disaster! We had an extremely long wait for food, followed by cold main courses and appalling attitude from the young waitressing staff on Sunday afternoon. No one seemed to be in charge and the people who were working definitely did not want to be. Staff were more interested in gossiping about their customers than actually providing any customer service. The most disappointing meal I have had in a very long time. Would not recommend this place to anyone.

We went for Sunday lunch to celebrate a family birthday. The food was incredibly slow in coming, in fact two people had to leave an hour and a half after we arrived with no main course as they had to go to work. Food was not hot and had to be returned. By far the worst thing was the poor attitude of the serving staff. They were young and clearly had no supervision. They sighed and tutted and clearly didn't want to be there. They huddled around the bar area and generally ignored the customers. I have had reports that people have had a good experience in the evenings but I can only comment on Sunday lunch which I would not recommend.

Excellent food and service. Delicious meal and very good value with various options available. Will definitely be back.

Came across this restaurant while shopping in Markethill, so decided to try it for lunch. My husband and I both had sandwiches and soup, very pleased, tasty food excellent service. Bright and clean restaurant. Will return again! 😊

After good reports about the buttery we went for a meal last weekend and the reports were correct the food very good and tasty,. service was good We will be going back to try out some more good food

So much to choose from on the menu.. everything so fresh and beautifully cooked.. had starters and mains. Can't wait to be back! Service good and waitresses v.friendly. toilets are clean and the decor in restaurant is gorgeous.

I am bewildered why this restaurant is not buzzing. Had dinner here with friends on a Friday evening. It was not busy and it should be! The food was fantastic. Great starters and we all had the steaks (on a deal) which were all cooked perfectly. Staff were very friendly and professional. Will definitely eat here again. Give it a try!

Visited on Thursday evening @ 6.30pm, only customers , staff were friendly , food served within reasonable time , starter of brie wedges ok, main meal Rib-eye steak 12 oz average, salmon in white wine , with mash (very large amount) overall was dry and tasteless . One other party arrived before we left. The decor is fresh and well maintained.

I went to The Buttery on Friday night for the first time with friends. The interior decor is modern, tasteful and comfortable. The menu had a great variety of options for everyone. I had the garlic mushrooms to start which were perfect with a good amount of garlic mayo. The menu had a deal on for 2 steaks (you could choose between ribeye or sirloin) with 2 sauces and 2 sides for £29.95 which is very reasonable so I had the ribeye - it was cooked exactly as I had ordered and tasted beautiful. The side dishes were more than sufficient, very tasty and we couldn't finish everything. I had lemon meringue for desert as I had seen good reviews about it here and I must say it was the best lemon meringue I've ever had! The service was excellent and Barbara the owner was friendly and really made us feel welcome. I strongly recommend a visit to this restaurant - you won't be disappointed! I will definitely be back soon

This place has just reopened and it's well worth a visit. Food was excellent and staff friendly and efficient. Menu varied and something for everyone. Will definitely pay another visit.

8 of us dined here recently. Having tried it last year when it first reopened I was pleasantly surprised to find it well lit up and fresh.

Being quite local we thought we would give here a go. 'Chilli sauce' for the wings would need to be stated 'sweet chilli sauce' since thats all it is, thought i was going to get a lovely chilli wing sauce but no. My steak was over seasoned, just really salty that i couldn't finish it - however my steak was cooked as requested, although my partners was overcooked. Our chips were greasy also. I did try and get the attention of someone to say but i couldn't, therefore we left unpleased. We were not checked during the mains which is vital!

First class beautifully presented food. Steak sandwich to die for - vegetarian green Thai curry really flavoursome - chicken and bacon carbonara a real hit for a fussy fourteen year old. Excellent helpful friendly service. A hidden gem worth finding .... and saving to your Satnav. As the saying goes "we will be back!" Highly recommend ✅

Visited here 2 weeks ago. Food was delicious. Lemon meringue was best I ever had. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend. Will definitely return.

Visited here on Friday evening and the restaurant was very busy. Service was excellent and the food very good. Would definitely recommend a visit. Will be back again soon.

Second visit in 2 weeks. Food is fantastic and def recommend a visit. Staff are so friendly and helpful the senior waiter is great nothing a problem and he is very helpful. Menu is very varied there were 3 of us tonight and we all took a different dish so we could sample more. Thumbs up to the chef x menu has something to suit everyone

Had SteakSandwich which was yummy! Service and kitchen excellent! It is really nice to have a bar next to. Nice place to eat in cosy atmosphere and go to bar later and watch a football match!

I have eaten in here twice from The Buttery has reopened. Both times I have got the steak sandwich which is excellent value for money (£10.95) includes side and sauce! Both times I have had the creme brulee which has been delicious! All in all great value for money and would highly recommend this place.

Recently reopened. Fantastic steak house with superb local meat and chefs who know what they're doing. Situated at the rear of The Village Inn which is a superb traditional Co Armagh pub. Had a great sirloin steak and the Guinness is as good as you'll get anywhere in Northern Ireland. Worth the trip.
