A stop-off just minutes from the Newry exit off the M1, this place has become a reliable break in the drive for families heading to or from Dublin — and it works just as well after a walk in Ravensdale Forest, about ten minutes away. Free parking and level buggy access make the arrival easy, and there are high chairs, a kids' menu and vegan options once you're in. It gets genuinely busy, so expect a short wait for coffee and food at peak times, though staff tend to seat people straight away and are warm with it. Breakfasts draw the most praise — perfectly poached eggs, grilled tomatoes, the avocado smash with smoked salmon — alongside the steak burger, chunky fries and a case of fresh cakes. Portions are sensible rather than huge, prices fair, and there's outdoor seating plus a big grocery shop next door.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
