Restaurants in Castlewellan

Turnip House

I love this place! Every time we go in we have a great time and everything we eat and drink is always beautiful. So welcoming you could sit the whole day and not feel you’ve over stayed your welcome. The arts and crafts are beautiful also. Really worth a browse.

The Yard Restaurant

We dropped by for brunch, 4 of us on a Sunday morning. The service was good, minus waiting for waters to get delivered. The presentation was nice but the food was just average in our opinion. We had an omelet, eggs hollandaise, pancakes, waffles, tea, and 2 mocha lattes. The vibe, decor, cleanliness was all good.

The Maghera Inn

Found this Bar towards the end of our holiday at Tollymore Forest Park. Shame, as it ticked all the boxes for us, good food (sensibly priced), good service and great atmosphere. It didn't strike me as a touristy bar just a great local. Would totally recommend.

Parking: The car park is a bit tight for manoeuvring but manageable. Careful which end you exit as one end is on a blind corner.

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

Maginns

Lunch for 4 here. Two x Caesar salads, one chilli mince and one seafood chowder, all very good with Cappuccinos to follow.
Service always helpful and friendly..

Old Tom Bar

Great wee bar one of the best stouts I've had in age's bar staff/owner are very friendly and extremely attentive. The locals are very friendly, and made us feel very welcome and made us feel at home.

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.

Nel's

Really liked this place. Really nice food (especially vegan lasagne). Good coffee. 5 of us - everyone liked their food (only 1 of us veggie). Would go back. Nice space and staff

Nana's Kitchen

Just sitting here writing this review had myself the loaded fries out of this world with the freshest salad I have had in a long time along with a lovely wee latte the place is spotless and airy staff are wonderful would highly recommend this wee spot to anyone will definitely be calling again than you

McCann's Traditional Fish and Chips Castlewellan

Lovely cod supper here. Good value, cooked to perfection, and a great system to allow you to sit in your car till your meal is readyWheelchair accessibility: It's in a car park in the middle of the town, so full accessibility

Taste of New York Pizzeria

Would recommend 100%We were staying at Greenhill YMCA in Newcastle with a youth group. They gave us advice on how many pizzas for 35 people and we ordered 16 12inch pizzas. Great value for money. They were mixed, pepperoni and cheese. The pizzas were delivered to us, on time and hot. The kids and adults enjoyed every bite. Excellent service. Owner and staff go above and beyond 5 ☆

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.

The Oak Grill

Great flavour same about the amount of sauce put on the gravy chip I ordered, slow service but over all worth it if not getting a gravy chip, the cheesy curry chip I also ordered was great

Urban Food & Coffee

Lovely little cafe in the village. Great feed, lovely coffee and very well priced with lovely staff. They don't allow dogs inside, but that's all good, they even dried the benches in the rain for us.

Eastern Pearl

Zebedees

Got a large gravy chip and almost exploded with excitement when I saw it even tho it looked like diarrhoea with pieces of lumpy poop in it. I’m in other words a great feast and a lovely happy experience. Big shout out to the staff eoghan Breen he was a true gentleman and really made the experience a lot better for me. A 10/10 restaurant and will always have a place in my heart❤️❤️?
