We are one of the oldest pub restaurants in Northern Ireland, established in 1832. In our restaurant you can enjoy a delicious meal in its traditional surroundings, which includes our very popular poet’s corner. We offer entertainment every night of the weekend, and traditional sessions monthly. Our front bar is the true definition of an old traditional bar, from its surroundings to the open hatch door. Our Function Room is a new addition to the building in 2012, but is has been designed to keep the traditional design of the original building. With this new addition we can cater for larger parties and functions. From Christenings to weddings we cater for all.

After 4 years, it’s time for us to say a very big goodbye to our restaurant supervisor Ronan🥲
From food runner, bartender, kitchen helper, handyman, the entertainment on a Saturday night and probably every other job going… there isn’t much that Ronan hasn’t done during his time with us! 😂

He has been such a huge part of our team over the past four years, always willing to get stuck in, help wherever needed, and keep things moving — even on those slightly chaotic shifts we’ve all come to know and love! 🤣

We’re so grateful for all the hard work, laughs, memories and everything he has brought to the pub and restaurant over the years. He has genuinely been a massive part of our team, and he’ll certainly be missed by both our staff and customers.
So, from all of us, thank you for everything, Ronan.
We wish you nothing but the very best for whatever comes next. We hope you know how much you’ve been appreciated and that you’ll always be part of the family here!

The ovens are hot and the dough is ready! 🔥🍕 We are officially kicking off our exclusive soft launch weekend for our new wood-fired pizza menu. We have been working very hard behind the scenes. Every single pizza is crafted from scratch using our homemade dough, stretched by hand, and fired to perfection in our wood oven for that authentic, smoky flavor.⚠️ Please note: Because this is a soft launch, our orders are strictly limited this weekend. We want to ensure every slice is perfect, so once the dough is gone, it’s gone!Beat the rush and get a taste of the action before anyone else. Swipe to view our menu. To order simply give us a call - 02879468 322. Phone lines open at 5pm
