Restaurants in Castlewellan

Turnip House

Family owned and run, hippy-esque, artsy, friendly cafe amongst incredible scenery in the foothills of the Mournes. Lovely soups, scones and cakes all made on the spot.

The Maghera Inn

An 'olde worlde' bar restaurant which was busy and fully booked for Sunday lunch. They offer both a set menu together with daily specials on the blackboard. The waitress was very helpful matching the food on offer, to our dietary requirements. Parking can be problematic as limited spaces in the car park. Care required during entry and exit as roads are narrow.

Maginns

Love this bar! Food is delicious and there is something for everyone- vegetarian and vegan options, lighter meals as well as more hearty ones. Staff are so friendly and helpful, and there’s a nice warm fire too. A lovely spot for a winter lunch.

Old Tom Bar

My partner and I had such a good night here, a great pint of Guiness and great craic with the locals. A bar full of charm and full of characters. Haven’t laughed so much in ages!

Luna Coffee

Hidden gem. I’m quite fussy about coffee, cappuccinos in particular (Italy spoiled!) This little place gave the option of short, medium or long coffees, which is generally rare in Northern Ireland. Cappuccino was exceptional, up there with the best coffee I’ve had outside of Italy. Strong, short, smooth and well balanced. Friendly and quick service. Not a lot of seating inside, but some outside. Not that it mattered as we were getting coffee to go. Highly recommend. Easily castewellans best cup of coffee. Good selection of eats too. Thanks!

Parking: Adequate spaces right outside the coffee house

The Yard Restaurant

Fantastic meal out for our Dad's birthday.
There's a new award winning chef now leading the restaurant and his new menu was top drawer. Genuinely some of the tastiest dishes we've had anywhere. We'll certainly be back

Nana's Kitchen

Just back after a lovely club sandwich and lovely tasty chips followed by the most delicious apple tart and ice cream..def will be coming back..lovely staff and atmosphere.

Mrs Coleman's Bar

Stayed for 1 night with my wife and had a great time, Food was great and staff were excellent with a special mention for the barman, I think his name was Caolin? Great setting with everything you need for a much needed night away! Highly recommend....

Turley's Bar

With views of the Mourne Mountains be sure to reserve a window seat. The food was excellent and a good selection of dishes on the menu. The atmosphere was relaxed. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Good selection of beers etc. Would easily recommend based on my experience.

Savage's Bar

Average looking bar but the owner, staff and customers make it a special place. Always a good crowd in on a Saturday night for the live music. Quickly becoming my local and a welcome change from Belfast.

Mooney's Bar

Nel's

Great service, delicious food, friendly staff. Reasonable price. Cash preferred, but cards accepted. Great for cyclists as they supply bike locks free of charge. Highly recommend.

Taste of New York Pizzeria

Order regular for home Pizzas,dough rolls and Southwest twister are always top quality. Deals are very reasonable. Delivery guys regularly early. All round first class.

Urban Food & Coffee

Great little spot for food and coffee. Best Christmas chip hands down and I've had plenty over the years! With the rest of the food equally as good. Pity I don't live closer!!

The Fountain Bar

After reading reviews on here. I rang around other restaurants to try and change my table, unfortunately I couldn't get a suitable time to accommodate everyone in our group.\nWell I am so glad. \nFrom the 1st point of contact with fountain Lane, everything was perfect.\nI emailed them b4 hand and they reserved us a beautiful big round table, with plenty of room.\nThe food was unreal, everyones steak was cooked to perfection, and portions were plenty, everyone of us can't wait to return. Staff couldn't do enough for us, and 3 of the young girls serving actually brought out my sisters cake singing, staff reserved a booth down stairs for us as it was a Saturday evening and a special occasion. Note its January, and they may not be able to in busier months, so thank you fountain Lane for making my sisters 40th dinner such a lovely night.

Eastern Pearl

The Oak Grill

Very busy chippy, staff where friendly and helpful. I got a chicken burger meal and it was lovely. Only downside was they forgot to put salt on my chips although they were very busy. But food was delicious and will be back when im near there again.

Zebedees

Stopped here one evening as I was passing through Castlewellan late - too late to have dinner by the time I'd get home.
Great food. I just had a cheese burger and chips but they were delicious. Had a very cheerful chat with the owner while my food was being cooked.
Lovely food and friendly staff are always to be recommended.
