Restaurants · Banbridge
A well-worn bar and dining room on the edge of Banbridge that manages the trick of being busy without being deafening — one family noted it was a packed night yet still calm enough to talk across the table. Portions are genuinely huge; the vegetarian jambalaya, the pork belly with mash and the steak with Diane sauce all come up again and again, and the potato and leek soup is a good bet for a smaller appetite. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, outdoor seating in decent weather, level access for a pram and free parking right outside. Staff are attentive and quick, which matters when someone's patience is running out. Cosy bar area with a real fire in colder months. Worth booking at weekends, and there's a private room if you're marking something.
