Review Maghera Inn - Maghera

Came here with 3 other people and we all had a great time, everyone loved their meals. I got the seafood chowder and the tender stem pappardelle pasta and sticky toffee pudding. The seafood chowder was very very nice BUT didn’t top my all time favorite. The pasta was gorgeous, nice and creamy but not too heavy and the goats cheese was lovely with it. I do think they could do with more vegetarian starters or a veggie burger option. Definitely recommend and would come here again!

Excellent food, lovely staff and quick service. Food portions, particularly are generous and well priced. Great kids meniu. If you are coming here, book in advance to avoid disappointment, as it is always busy.

Eclectic decorated and homely little inn and staff were exceptionally welcoming and relaxed atmosphere creating. The family and I visited for early father's day family meal and the food was incredible. Highly recommend the Katsu Curry so sumptuous and creamy. The Cod and chip also must get a we shout-out as it was rated by a knows what they like fisherman. Update - On a recent birthday dinner visit this little gem has continued to live up to the fond memories of the previous experience and have to add a big thumbs up to the fillet steak.

What a lovely pub, plus it had food on a Tuesday and the food was excellent. I had mushroom risotto, with pea shoots and spinach - truly delicious, I’m sure the small portion was to encourage me to have a pudding. My husband had Korean beef, with vegetables and rice - he loved it. We shared a sticky toffee pudding and salted caramel brownie both with ice cream - the brownie was my favourite. We will be back!

Lovely wee pub 🍻😍 Had the Roast of the day and the beef was melt in the mouth + lovely gravy + mash! Fish and chips also good, although I'd personally recommend the roast if you're unsure! They serve Guinness 0.0% which is great if you're driving but still want the Irish pub experience 🍀😉🚗 Really sweet decor in and out, proper Irish pub.

First visit and I will definitely be back. Lovely atmosphere, great wee buzz, very pleasant staff AND food was excellent. No complaints at all after a good walk along the beach 😊.

Good food,nice service,cold drinks🤣

Cozy little inn and staff couldn't have been more lovely!! We were treated like family, food was great. Highly recommend the lamb roast. I would happily take a detour to eat here again

Great food. Highly recommend the ribs but everything we had was great and a good sized portion. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We were in on a Sunday evening and there was a good atmosphere. Reasonably priced too. Will definitely go back. If you're in the area, like good food, and you're hungry I'd definitely consider it. Best to book though as it seems to be very popular.

Maghera Inn is a lovely country pub. Food is always excellent. I have never had a bad meal here. Staff always friendly and try their best to accommodate at busy times to get you a table. Unfortunately not always possible, but they do try. I definitely recommend a visit.

Came here with friends for dinner. The staffs were very nice and the place is so cosy and well decorated for halloween. Food is good and generous portions. Highly recommend.

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.

Gorgeous pub, food was amazing. 7 of us sat in & were really well taken care of - everyone loved their meals. I had the chowder which was fantastic. Lovely atmosphere & staff were great too. Highly recommend!

Got seafood chowder and it was delicious, 10/10. Great place to stop and eat, if your ever down Newcastle direction.

Lovely meal very pleasant staff . Turkey and ham dinner was great and plenty of it . Good selection something for pretty much everyone even my picky don't really like vegtables vegetarian niece managed 3 courses

Just dined here at the Maghera inn for a Birthday celebration. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious! I went for the "Chicken stack", would highly recommend!

We were booked for 8 p.m. but tablecwasbt ready. Quickly offered seats in bar area and our orders taken from there. Seated by 8.20 and meal served immediately. Meals were delicious and my Thai Green Curry was excellent. Atmosphere busy and friendly.

Good food, friendly staff, would recommend to friends

***Another update 21/8/21*** Another absolutely delicious meal at The Maghera Inn... never disappoints!! My favourite bar restaurant in South Down! 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.

Got told by a friend to try this place so took my wife there for her birthday yesterday along with my mum. The place was very homely inside. We were greeted by a lovely female member of staff who showed us to our table and took our drinks order and she then gave us a few more minutes to choose our meal. After a short while our food arrived yo the table. My mum as always were ever she goes took the fish n chips which was haddock she nearly died wen she saw 2 fish on her plate but she had a good go at eating it said it was the best fish n chips she has had in a long time. My wife took the salt n chilli Squid which she loved and i took the philly chesse steak which was first class. I never new this place was here and we traveled from newtownabbey down to try it out. We defo made an excellent choice and will defo be going back. If your down around newcastle and looking excellent food travel up to maghera its not to far you wont be dissapointed food is excellent staff are fantastic and the venue is brill. It is also not that expensive either

Not long back from a wee Sunday drive, called in to The Maghera Inn as we've heard so many people giving great reviews about there � Absolutely Amazing meal � staff were all so friendly � gorgeous location � & we will most certainly be back �

We had a booking at 3.15 today, our order was taken promptly but unfortunately we waited almost an hour for our starters to arrive which wasn't much fun with 5 children. Despite this though once the food arrived the main course and dessert arrived within good time after each sitting and the food was just gorgeous so compliments to the chef!

Always gets a good meal here food serve hot staff friendly
