Restaurants · Magherafelt
A wrong turn is how more than one family has found this place, and the surprise tends to be a good one — a proper old Irish pub interior, homely and, by most accounts, quiet and spacious enough that a pram isn't a problem. High chairs, a kids' menu around £6 and free parking outside the door. The salt and chilli chicken gets raved about for seasoning and portion size, the homemade soup even more so, and the team will quietly bring out a brownie with a candle if there's a birthday. Two courses for £20 keeps a family meal reasonable. Service is warm but can stretch thin when it's busy: one family waited twenty minutes to order with hungry children, and forgotten requests happen. Booking is wise at weekends, though walk-ins at lunch are usually fine.
