The Shed in Lisburn

Unfriendly staff and over priced. I’m Actually surprised there’s been such a hype about this place. Wanted to try it out for myself and can honestly say I’ll never be back. Iv never experienced such rude unfriendly staff, so off putting feeling uncomfortable we couldn’t wait to leave..

Lovely atmosphere from the moment you walk in. Great friendly service and delicious food!!

Don't ask for beans and tomatoes with fry, as they charge £2.75 for a scoop of beans and half a tomatoes, bit over the top!

Great, loved it. It was very nice ,will be back thanks.

Excellent food, coffee and service👍👍

Really lovely place here. There was a queue for tables but got seen and seated very quickly. Service fast and food very tasty! Staff really friendly too, will definitely be visiting again.

Called in at lunchtime, busy and noisy. Menu a collection of mixed up typed pages on clipboard. We Ordered breakfast and salmon / prawn avacado salad. Breakfast arrived shortly after ordering and the Sausage eggs and bacon looked and tasted dry : aged, not helped by a cold plate. Lots of soda & potato bread adds to the bulk appearance - enjoyed the mushroom Later in the day my partner was unwell and felt the salad may be to blame, it couldn’t have been the few salmon shreds served with the meal. At £15 pounds per meal it was poor value for money, the noise reverberates around The seating area Appearance is more like a barn than a shed. A isolated building living of the history of good service and food created by others, wise diners will vote with their feed.

Think I may have been charged too much. 2 Farmhouse Frys which are £10 each. 2 Americano and 1 tea. Total charged £35.09. That's very expensive coffee and tea.....

Very busy spot which does an ok breakfast. Some items were cold and others were missing and then brought cold. My son had the cinnamon swirl which I would not recommend. Was very hard and I would struggle to eat it. Also were seated next to the waiting area which meant a crowd gathered at the end of our table. Found the place very loud, probably due to the high ceilings and open plan.

Very friendly staff ...quick service...lovely food...nice wee spot for restaurant..Nice clean tables and beautiful outdoor area

Called in for breakfast this morning, and was very very disappointed! The breakfast was dreadful! Spent over £30.00 for me and my partner. One farmhouse fry and one poach egg on toast and tea for two. Prices here are ridiculous! Place was empty and cold, won't be back!!!

Ballinderry’s hidden gem. Best for brunch, all food so fresh and served with great coffee.

Stopped in on the way home from the airport, and the food was amazing quality. We had two breakfasts, cooked to perfection, and staff were friendly and hospitable! This was our first visit, and we will definitely be back!!!

Good afternoon out. Quick to sort out a small problem

My food cost £15 for a pulled beef sandwich and my tea was extra. My grandson was £20 for pancake with marshmallows his drink was extra. Halloween it may have been but it was a complete RIP OFF. For his £20.00 he also got an envelope with a plastic hedgehog and a few stickers. He was refused a wand of bubbles as he wasn't dressed up even though he had a PUMPKIN SWEETSHIRT on. For this to happen to a 6 year old he was devastated 😢 to say the least. SO NO WE WONT BE BACK.

Good food but quite expensive for what it is

We used to go here on a fairly regular basis, but since the small farmhouse breakfast has gone up to £10 pounds we won’t be back,that’s a £3 pound jump in one go,just scandalous.very noisy too.

Food was delicious and the place was very busy, but still calm and relaxed atmosphere.

They have decided not to take bookings so phoned around 11.00am to check they should be able to accommodate a table of five. Assured no problem so five of us from four locations travelled to find they were full up and had a queue waiting outside. We were left trying to find an alternative, not good enough!

This place use to be a great wee place. Recent price hikes are extortionate tho. £15 for an average enough breakfast. Quality of the produce is questionable. (A lot of cheaper items used). Sausages, apple juice to name a few. It may look lovely having an old fashioned China cup and saucer, but it’s really 3 small mouthful of coffee @ £3.60!!!

Dog friendly outside area, fantastic food and service. Great for those who prefer oat milk in their coffee ☕😊

Despite being out of the way it's extremely busy which is a testimony to the quality of its food Prices not bad, good choice, would go back again

Very good place. It's a bit out of the way but the fact that it's busy shows how popular it is An old converted farm shed, it has plenty of parking and is wheelchair friendly. There's a shop connected to it selling clothes and a few house knick knacks. As for the restaurant itself it has a good menu, the good is excellent and the staff courteous and friendly. Prices are ok. Had a very enjoyable time and would definitely go back.

PERFECT!!! Great food and fantastic local ingredients..I could not fault this place and the staff where down to earth and on the ball.. as it should be.

Having been recommended. I took my friend for breakfast this morning. We ordered two beny eggs a tea and cappuccino after waiting 45mins we asked if we could be served our drinks, which appeared to be an inconvenience to the staff, 15 mins after this we enquired about our food as other tables were being served that had came in after us. We were told sorry your order didn’t go through to the kitchen another member of staff came to apologise however she must have found it funny as she sniggered at us. When the food arrived the muffin was saturated in water and appeared not to be toasted and I was unable to eat it. Staff did take of the price of the tea and coffee and gave us fresh replacement I assume because of the lengthy wait. The quality of the food was not addressed and I was charged full price for this. Customer service and quality of food would seriously need to be addressed.

Lovely food and very pleasant staff!

It was my first time visiting here. Neither me nor my friend had heard much about it but knew of it. We were going to go to Vic Ryn but it was closed so we came here instead and were very pleased with it. It literally is a shed but it's been done up inside to a very high standard. It was quite busy at lunchtime on a Saturday, which is a good sign. We both had the fish and chips and enjoyed it very much. Being able to pay separately is very convenient. It's really easy to find - just outside Maghaberry village on the A26 side. Staff were really friendly and their service was top notch. We waited on the desert menu but then realised that they don't do much for desert so headed on - probably should have asked. They're pretty good at clearing tables quickly too and the place is very clean. Reasonably priced and a great menu means I'll be back. Highly recommended!

First time here, and have to say, it lived up to everything I had heard. The food was very nice, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Ate outside as it was a nice day, and then walked around their shop, which is part of the cafe. All local produce

Visited here as a group of 22! Excellent service! Food was delicious! Very nice atmosphere! Would highly recommend!

First visit to the Shed and we were very impressed. Shown promptly to a table by a very friendly waitress and our drink order taken while we were looking through the menu. Our food arrived promptly and was of excellent quality - could not fault anything. While not cheap the food was not unreasonably priced. Would have no hesitation in recommending the Shed and will be back again.

The eggs Benny beautiful will be back - will have to try the lunch next

Hatten ein super Mittagessen. Service war sehr nett, das Essen ist geschmacklich und optisch sehr gut gelungen. Aufgefallen ist uns, dass es draußen auch wirklich angenehm nach Essen gerochen hat und nicht wie schon oft erlebt nach friteuse. Preis Leistung fand ich angemessen.

Good car parking. First impression upon entering is he noise, high ceiling, few soft furnishings so the noise so the noise reverberates throughout the building, like a chicken house. Table that we sat at was very close to next table. I ordered the chicken stack, it did not say on the menu that it was chicken goujons, they were not nice, the peppered sauce was well watered down, I think, no sharpness to it at all. I checked the menu online, it does say goujons on it but not on the paper one in cafe. Very disappointed. The fish one of my friends ordered was very disappointed.

We had the most fabulous lunch at The Shed!!! The menu is extensive - so many wonderful options and our choices were delicious. We happened upon this outstanding restaurant when we noticed a sign on the A26 - we are from out of town and were looking for a fun option for lunch. So thrilled with our decision! If you are looking for delicious food, a beautiful atmosphere and excellent service then The Shed is the place to go!!

Visited here yesterday with 5 friends for lunch for my birthday. It was very busy but we were quickly shown a table where I had room to park my mobility scooter. Menu was varied and we all chose something different. The waitress was lovely and very patient as 6 pensioners chose!! Food arrived quite quickly and was well presented. Everyone enjoyed their meal. We had brought a birthday cake and this was brought out to us with candles lit, and plates and cutlery, along with our chosen hot drinks. We all wanted to pay separately and the waitress patiently dealt with each if us. My chicken burger with skinny fries, bacon, cheese and fried onions was £14 which I thought very reasonable . Will definitely go back. Would recommend the Shed and thanks for making my birthday special.

Food was average prices were extraordinary. Ordered a fry and they forgot the sausage! Staff nice though

I enjoyed my French toast and bacon with maple syrup.

Lovely breakfast on St Patrick's Day with a very talented Harpist playing live while we ate.

A nice trip to The Shed with my wife and my mum, who was visiting. Friendly service, good food and a pleasant environment.

The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. 👌

I love this cafe! Food is lovely, staff are friendly and the actual cafe is beautiful

Was waiting for the waitress to take our and there was people in after us and they got before us when we got are order we where finished before we got are tea and coffee Not impressed With service will not be back Great car park

Second time visiting here today and had a great experience. Food came out fast, staff were very friendly and it is a lovely place to have a meal

This café has gone downhill fast. I used to enjoy a visit there when it first opened. However, the portion size has decreased substantially and the prices increased. Today I visited with a friend. We had two coffees, a scone and slice of toasted wheaten bread. It cost £13.10. I might have understood if the food had been delicious but the scone was tiny and the wheaten bread inedible, dense and hard. Very disappointed as this used to be a great place.

The priciest Americano coffee I have ever had in N. Ireland. Scones whilst very nice also expensive but the greatest rip-off ever was being charged an extra 85p for butter and 85p for a tiny pot of jam! I have never been charged for this ever. Surely they are making enough profit on the price of coffee and a scone to justify this. First and last visit to this establishment.

Had french toast with bacon and maple syrup and a chocolate milkshake it was lovely

Visited the Shed to meet family for coffee & a catch up . We all chose coffee & scones which were nice but not the tastiest scones I’ve ever had . They were certainly the most expensive I’ve had …. a raspberry & white chocolate scone was £3,30 plus 85p for cream which wasn’t enough for two halves of scone & 50p for jam …. All in all a total of £4.65 . Coffees were expensive too compared-to other coffee shops . Total bill was almost £30 for 4 people. We have visited this establishment several time’s & understand prices have Increased but the prices are not value for money . For this reason we will choose another venue in the locality when meeting family .

Went for a breakfast very disappointed with the portion very poor for the price no beans or mushrooms or tomatoes good quality produce 😢 left very disappointed and hungry 😢 😕

Fantastic staff, lovely atmosphere and a great menu with lots of added extras to create the perfect brunch.

We had heard raving revues about The Shed at Maghabery, Co. Antrim, so we went along for a treat. I ordered the beer battered haddock, chunky chips and mushy peas, my wife ordered the Chicken Stack of goujon on champ and tobacco onions.. The batter was soggy the chips weren't cooked through, just like they were blanched instead, the chicken was tough and the plates were cold, not a very enjoyable meal and won't go back again, just shows, you can't rely on every so called good review

Heard about this place from a friend - was passing, so dropped in. VERY impressed - good food, not tooo dear and somehow the place was homely even though it was busy. I'll be back !

Unreal Gem of a place, great food and fantastic & accommodating staff!

Perfect place for a breakfast,nice view from the window,nice food

Good quality food , reasonable price, friendly service

Nicest fish n chips I’ve had I a long time - friendly staff n good service 👍

Nice spot, good food, only complaint would be that their fridge hasn’t been working/turned on in quite some time. Ice would be nice as an alternative.

Food was ok. Bit on the cold side due to cold plates or being left at the pass.

Paid a visit today for the first time, scrambled egg with salmon , had to return due to the eggs being cold, brought back to us, unable to eat, eggs under cooked, wet and mushy , £13, over priced , I understand it’s a busy time of the year, thou eggs, not a difficult item to prepare

Unique building for an eaterie put to good use as a restaurant. The staff were friendly and the food served was good for lunchtime fare. Worth your patronage if in the area.

Food was great, portions were perfectly sized. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

Really enjoyed our breakfast at the shed. Definitely be back.

Lovely modern cafe in an out of the way spot.

Great food, excellent service and extremely accommodating to individual requirements. Many thanks

Excellent 🤗 We went for lunch, greeted by friendly staff and seated quickly. Excellent menu. Opted for Fries Bang Bang which were delicious 😋. Restaurant warm, comfortable and nice decor. Didn't feel rushed or pressured to get the table back; so ordered desserts and coffees! Great idea!! 😁 Brownie was heated and served with ice-cream! Yummy 😋 Call out to the red haired waitress, so lovely, thank you 😊 Would definitely recommend and will call again! Thank you 😊 🤗

1st time visit, would certainly go back

I was disappointed that having ordered and waited just over 25 minutes to find that the order hadn’t got through to the kitchen. This was simply too long not to notice the error We were offered the food with a further wait of 10 minutes. We were offered free drinks etc if we stayed. We had simply waited long enough and exited. The manageress did offer the free drinks etc so hence not a single star. We have eaten here before and had good food, so disappointed.

Really disappointed I feel as if I need to make this review but the poor quality food and sheer lack of customer service has resulted in this. Due to being part of the local farming community we were looking forward to experiencing the Shed but this place does absolutely nothing to promote local produce and what it does offer is basic, overpriced and poor quality food. On arrival we made the waitress aware that our child had a milk allergy which we were told could be catered for. We were rushed to order as we were informed we had 5 minutes to order from the breakfast menu and then we would have to wait 15 minutes before we could order any lunch. This is absolutely ridiculous, why do yourself out of 15 minutes worth of business? Have never been in another establishment that this is the case - absolutely absurd and a flaw. We decided to go for the lunch menu which it took asking 3 different members of staff and 15 minutes to get. For the kids we did order the from The breakfast menu as they were starving. Absolutely nothing on their standard kids menu was suitable for a dairy allergy sufferer and when the chef was asked what allergens were In their sausages the waitress informed me he didn’t know and not to order it. How does a head chef not know what he’s cooking? We then decided to go for bacon, toast and beans which came 10 mins after our other child’s breakfast and without cutlery. The real shock was the fact they had placed real dairy butter on top of his toast and when asked for a substitute none was available. Massively disappointing. 12:10pm and our orders still not taken as we watch other customers come in after us and are serviced straight away. Our food then took another 30 mins before it came out - one order was wrong, cold chips and cold mash with another. Why make us wait for a lunch menu if everything you were going to serve is cold? Also when asked if we could add a chicken breast to the burger - we were told no despite the rude comment added to the bottom of the menu that you couldn't make changes to the food but additions could be made? Staffing was poor. Not once did the same waitress serve our table - so clearly no communication between staff was being carried out and every time we had to go out of our way to get a member of staffs attention. Saddened due to the lovely location and the apparent effort put into the fixtures. And will give credit that we didn’t pay for the wrong order but no replacement offered despite it not being eaten, I left without having lunch in the end. Would not recommend and will not be returning. Think it speaks volumes Facebook reviews on this business have been disabled.

Plenty of parking spaces, nice decor, pleasant staff,nice food.

Pleasant, helpful staff and good food at a good price, recommended .

My husband and I had a late breakfast here today. 2x Farmhouse Breakfasts @ £7.50 each. Granted we should have read the menu but when the waitress asked “Just to check would you like tomatoes, mushrooms and beans?” I assumed these were included and she was making sure we didn’t want to swop anything out… A tea and coffee and the bill £28.25.. Cannot justify these prices with a tomato £1.20, mushrooms £1.20 and beans a staggering £1.50 to add onto EACH breakfast! WONT BE BACK and will definitely be sharing our experience of the extortionate pricing!

Nice modern establishment in the country just outside Maghaberry. Great food and service. A lot of space inside and some outdoor seating. Very popular and always has a buzz about it. Nice atmosphere.

Called in for breakfast yesterday morning on our way past, seen the sign and so glad I did, place was spotless, staff were lovely and breakfast was beautiful, will definitely return!

Great lunch at the shed with hubby, staff welcoming, great food, very friendly, you can dine inside or out. Toilets spot less. Easy parking seams popular.

Food quality and Staff are great, there's plenty of parking and there is a nice warm atmosphere inside. I visit here once a month with work colleagues but there are a couple of things which always bug me...... For me the portion sizes at breakfast are a bit disappointing. For example when it says potato bread I was expecting a full slice not half a slice which you get. I don't mind paying £7-9 for a cooked breakfast but at least give the customer an actual portion size. The other annoying thing is the finishing touches to the glasses and cultery. The glasses have a grime on the bottom of them and there is water marks all over them which looks as if they haven't been cleaned, even though they have been. You can literally scratch it off with your nail. The cultery is the same. This is always the same anytime I visit. Please ask your staff to check/polish these before giving out to customers, it's really off putting. Apart from those small issues the food is a really good quality, the service is quick and staff are pleasant.

Today was afternoon tea time at The Shed in Magheraberry. I have to say that the food was amazing - everything was homemade and really tasty plus there was plenty of choice. Linen tablecloth, china cups and excellent service too so I definitely recommend it. One of the best afternoon teas I have had!

I had the farmhouse fry very nice , if they added half a tomato it would have been perfect. Not much more in cost but nice for presentation.

Poached eggs and avocado claims to have 487 calories and 40 grams of protein, it does not have 40 grams of protein, not even close, maybe 20, surprised this hasn’t been complained about more often

Good place for a lunch. Very clean, and attentive staff.

Stopped here with some cycling friends for breakfast. Service was fast, food was tasty, portions though were relatively small. Unfortunately for what we all got our breakfast was very expensive. I appreciate costs for most things are increasing but the lack of clarity over the...

First time here but really nice. Had a farmhouse fry which was excellent. Spacious and very clean and obviously very popular. No dearer than any other similar place. Toilets clean and staff very nice. Good parking outside as well. It is just on the outskirts of Maghaberry. Need to know where you are going though so get Google to help the first time. It has slightly raised area but there is a sloped path to it. Will go there again for sure.

I usually like to spend around a tenner at lunchtime. I had a burger on its own with no frills. Chips are extra. The burger is enough for just over £10. Then drinks. I'm over 60 and retired so it seems expensive. By most standards it seems about right. Still worth a visit and judge for yourself. Staff are very friendly. My assistance dog was very much welcomed. Enjoy.

Fab food, great atmosphere, lovely staff. Quick service too.

I have ate here numerous times, mainly for breakfast, however, this time I had a very poor visit. The food and customer service was awful. We had to send both our breakfasts back as we couldn’t eat them - we weren’t even offered anything else as an apology only that we had to pay for food that we couldn’t eat. Very disappointing. For prices like this you expect your food to be amazing. Won’t be back.

First time here for lunch and the last Food itself is lovely but the portions are so small (my husband left hungry) and with the price so high it makes you feel robbed My food was not as described on the menu and seemed a...

was in dismorning for breakfast!! what can I say absolutely amazing will defintely be back the poached eggs & avacodo was perfect 😎 and the staff where very helpful with any queries, thanks again and will see you soon

Got breakfast, the poached eggs were saturated in vinegar, wife had same experience. When I said the the waitress it took her 5 minutes to return. She said they were done in vinegar, and took our plates away. We hadn’t time to reorder. Here’s where it gets good…. I was charged for everything, I asked the waitress was this correct she said she didn’t know and called the manager. He took a couple of pounds off I questioned the reasoning and he then took a total of £7 off the bill. He said it was the price of the eggs. He smirked when I suggested this was not ok, and he said there was nothing wrong with the toast or bacon, regardless the fact they were also smothered with vinegar from the eggs. Very disappointing experience I definitely will not be back. There are far better establishments in Moira and Lurgan all which have much better manners - don’t waste your time looking for this place it is overpriced and has service of a budget chain restaurant. I did tell the manager I would put a bad review up, he smirked at that also and did not appear to care at all. The shed - not for me again!

I went in for a takeaway sandwich and a coffee. They only had toasted sandwiches, so I asked if I could make a plain chicken, mayo, and salad cold sandwich. I was told I might have to take a sachet of mayo and put it...

Brilliant breakfast spot. Caters well to bikes with racks and free bottle refills. Great varied menu. Will be back regularly.

Our first visit here and we will definitely be back. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the food was delicious. Our group had a kids meal, burger, cesar salad and bang bang chicken salad. Just fantastic. They were even kind enough to make us a tartlet to go for a house bound family member. All round excellent experience.

my first time here, had breakfast with my son and look forward to returning for lunch, staff and service was excellent 👌

So much potential. This place is so close to being a hidden gem. I love the fact is on a farm, the aesthetics of the building, plenty of space inside and lovely to sit outside. Its let down by basic service. Granted I only had coffee and a bun and it was iced coffee, the day I turned up no one was in front nor behind me, it still took 10 mins for the coffee to arrive yet the bun arrived within 2 minutes. I asked for a bottle of water it never came. I'd probably return to see if there is any improvements if not I wouldn't go back.

Great food, nice venue, friendly staff

Beautiful setting and very clean . My food was fine apart from my bacon being very hard and barely eddible 20 minutes after opening . No-one smiled or said thank you.

My self and three friends visited the Shed during the NI July holidays 2022 as our usual venue was closed. The menu choice was reasonable but nothing great. For us the pices started at £6 for two poached eggs on toast -no garnish-. For £8...

Another great visit, this time for Coffee and Caramel Square. Great menu and superb service from the staff.

Outside - theres pleanty of parking. Inside - the place is very clean and bright. The staff are nice and friendly. The menu are easy to understand as it shows whats on the food your ordering. We didnt wait long for our drinks and also the food was served few minutes later. The milkshakes are one of nicest we had so far, the full breakfast were also very tasty and with good portion. The waffles though a bit sweet was also very good as its crunchy on the outside and soft inside. Price - a bit on the high side.

Got seated then ignored ones that came in after us served first Food quality was good but really over priced £32 for 2 breakfast and 2 teas

We have seen the signs for the Shed many times on the way to or from the airport, but today was the first time we actually stopped there. Based on our experience today, this will be the first of many visits. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the food ( Caesar’s salad and bang bang chicken) excellent. Great value for quality and quantity. Desserts ( pavlova and coconut square) were superb as well. We very highly recommend the Shed to others to visit. Thank you staff for your attention and service

Brilliant place would definitely recommend this

Although the food was nice, some of the prices I was charged in this place today actually beggars belief. There are some expensive cafes around at the minute but this one takes the biscuit. The £2.90 they charge for a can of Coke Zero is nothing short of criminal considering they can be bought wholesale for about 35p a can. £4.15 for a kids hot chocolate (maximum 6oz tea cup) that tasted more like Ovaltine than chocolate is absolutely disgusting. £4.40 for a relatively small side of chips is hilarious - but were needed to pad out the four or five chicken nugget-sized salt and chilli chicken strips I received. The waffles were actually good value for the 7-year-old but at £3.99, but this only further emphasises the scandalous pricing of the other items when the bill came to £30.59 and the only other person at the table was an 8 month old who got a baby plate of eggs, a tiny ramekin of avocado and a slice of toast. Beyond a joke.
