Eating in Newcastle (the County Down one)

BOBS

Heading to Newcastle over Easter and wondering if there are any not too expensive eateries you would recommend to go to with kids. Bring your own would be a bonus too ;-)

We have eaten here before http://themagherainn.com/index.html it i would highly recommend it. Just hoping there was somewhere else even half as good !

The Galley Chip Shop in Annalong has the best fish in county down. Their frys are massive too. Sit in also.

Fish, crab, etc comes fresh off the boat in kilkeel when in season. I know the people who own it.

Thanks Pretani forgot about there - love a good chippy!!! - strange my last post was replying to another one from I think Valerie something or other but it has now disappeared - just in case it looks like i totally flipped lol! :rotfl:

Pretani

you#ll get a good feed in there bobs, not too many places can serve you a 16oz piece of cod these days;). Their cold crab served in pots are nice too.

BOBS

I love Cod - never tried crab though - and cold at that !! - do you have it as a wee starter before you have your cod?

Pretani

you could do, or you could take it home aand eat it as your leisure. I've known people who wouldn't be fond of crab actually end up craving the tubs they sell

Have to agree, the galley in Annalong does great chips. vanilla in Newcastle is really good too. It is more expensive in the evening but they do a fab early bird menu and have specials on throughout the day. For coffee and cake, you can't beat Cafe Creme.

Thanks for replies - why is that holidays revolve around eating
But then we will do loads of walking while we are there - Castlewellan, Tullymore and hopefully attempt part of Slieve Donard!

villa vinci is excellent, and the harbour inn has been done up and food and atmosphere very good. john macs chippy is good for chips, they are yummy but i dont think much about anything else there.
second the cafe creme for coffee and cake, fry is also really good and 1 would do between 2!
have a great break, love newcastle

Icookalot4u - we love newcastle too - heading with our caravan for 4 nights - and of course dont want to cook in every night
DH i am sure will have to sample cafe creme's fry! - cake will do me and the kids i am sure .
