Maghera Inn in Down

Fabulous wee place. Beautifully decorated. Warm ,homely, clean and pleasant.The menu was quite extensive and varied. I chose the pan fried salmon. It was presented Beautifully and was so fresh and tasty.Great value, great tasting and plentiful.The staff were pleasant, efficient and polite.This place is a MUST visit.

As an American who had the joy of living in the surrounding area for a few months, I can say without a doubt this is my absolute favorite place to dine and drink. Food is phenomenal, (I recommend the steak) the atmosphere and patronage was a joy and it to this day serves the best pint of Guinness I have ever consumed on this planet. Although it may be thousands of miles away for me now, I still miss it dearly and would visit any time I’m over. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Great food everytime we go. Staff are brilliant, very attentive and great with kids. Definitely worth checking out if visiting Newcastle or Castlewellan!

Lovely dinning experience. Great service and lovely food. We love dining here when visiting Newcastle

Had a turkey and ham Sunday dinner from here and it was amazing. Everything well cooked and tasty. Also had a pavalova for dessert which was also top of the notch. Really recommended.

Absolutely amazing food! This caramel espresso martini was brilliant, it would have been so wonderful for brunch. My parents and I went for Sunday dinner and had the stuffed leg of lamb. The portion sizes were so generous and the food full of taste. Photographer is the chicken liver parfait in homemade wheaten bread with added treacle - simply beautiful.

Gayle and Paula were friendly and helpful as always... All our courses were beautifully served; real works of art, and the flavours were top draw. We will definitely be back100%***Updated 4/8/20***“Eat out to help out”Had a really lovely stress free experience here. Food was gorgeous, service was brilliant, the staff(Niamh, Ryan, Paula) made sure we were okay and had everything we needed. Very clean and lovely decor, tables are well spaced out for social distancing. Would highly recommend!*******************************************************I highly recommend The Maghera Inn to anyone who wants an evening of real, heartfelt traditional Irish music preformed by professional musicians.It really is an authentic experience for tourists and locals alike.

The food here is fantastic. Huge quantities and great quality for a good price. We were also very impressed with how well they have followed covid restrictions. The tables are properly spaced apart with open windows. We haven't really been eating indoors at restaurants yet but I had no concerns eating here. Staff were polite and very helpful. When we took the baby outside to get him to sleep, they offered to keep my husband's food warm until he returned. Would love to come again!

Brilliant, friendly staff and gorgeous food! Possibly the best steaks this side of the Atlantic!

Such a good spot in a remote location. It's decorated well and had a great fire when we came in from the chill outside. We wanted to try several things off the menu. Everything was delicious and the portions were spot on. My pork belly was presented well and cooked perfectly. Only room for improvement was the creamy mixture with the mussels. I enjoy drinking it after like a soup but it was a bit too rich to do so. Going to recommend and return.
