Ausra and her team helped cater our families post-wedding brunch. She made everything simple and easy. The vegan fry tasted superb, the tray bakes delicious and the sandwiches fantastic. The bistro is located outside Maghera so the location is perfect. Highly recommended and there is a safe area for the kids.

I recently hired An Croí to cater for my daughters christening. The food was amazing, nothing was too much for the staff, they went over and beyond to make the whole experience stress free. I would highly recommend the team to anyone looking for catering for an at home event.

Visited on a quiet day. Had pancakes and banana bread and they were delicious, although would have been nice to have a few more berries. Service was a little slow but there was only 1 staff member. Atmosphere - was quiet time so can’t really comment

Open until 4pm. Beautiful breakfast. A nice menu with local produce. It is clean and busy. Fish & chip offer on Fiday and a daily lunch special. All of us enjoyed our food and coffee. I would recommend for sure. Theres a large disable friendly car park outside. It can accommodate large groups but i would book as it is very popular with the locals. Theres a shop next door so give yourself a couple of hours here.

14 of us from City of Belfast Advanced Motorcyclists arrived in as a trial run for one of our Saturday morning breakfast venues. Excellent on all counts, very friendly, efficient staff, great food very reasonably priced and the best coffee that I tasted in a very long time! Result - we will most definitely be returning. Thank you.

A wonderful place to relax and reflect whilst eating the most scrumptious tray bake with a delicious coffee. The whole area is worth a visit, especially the forest park.
