The Cosy Corner in Magherafelt

I’m leaving a review after multiple visits, with zero improvement in well over a years timeframe. Coffee is so-so, and overpriced, but can live with that, the food tends to be left out and on the couple of occasions I’ve grabbed something to eat, it’s obvious it’s not freshly made, had been on a shelf all day. The main reason however for the 1 star rating however is the staff. Unfriendly, uninterested and in more than one occasion, quite rude. They cannot even feign interest in serving you, I asked one person for a chair on one occasion and she all but rolled her eyes, the effort to walk 5 steps to bring it, as I could not carry it myself. It surprises me that it’s still relatively busy when I pass it, as this place genuinely have the poorest staff of any restaurant or coffee shop I’ve ever been in here at home or abroad.

Best curried chip in the country by a mile!

Quality of food is good. But quantity is poor, I ordered breast of duck and received 2 small slices of a duck breast. No Merlot or Malbec wine and a burger was ordered to be told there was no burgers left. Service is poor as I was told they were understaffed but staff had time to stand and talk to each other at the end of the bar. I was looking a 2nd glass of wine during our meal but no-one came near us while we were eating. At the end of our meal no-one came to offer desserts, tea or coffee. We paid the bill and pointed out these short comings.

I ate in here Friday 7th Feb. I have had many takeaways and was happy to finally have a chance to sit it. We both ordered shakes and bowls. Based on the service of the waitress we will definitely not be back. To have your pronunciation corrected, a handful of knives forks and napkins dropped in silence, and our shakes served in silence - I'll much happier take my services back to Seed, even with it being a 90 minute round trip. Have never experienced service in silence in my life. Complete condescending behaviour.

Not happy got a takeout for the kids the chips were cooked in dirty oil. The colour and taste was completely unacceptable for £6. I wish i had checked inside the containers before I left the building.
