The store is surprisingly large and is full of a wide product range in everything it stocks. It has a large selection of fresh fruit and veg , which it sells a lot of specialty items. It has a wide range of olives, obscure tinned items and a very varied deli counter with a wide selection of cheeses and hams to cater to even the most obscure taste. For me the best part about here is the sandwich bar. There is everything here that you would ever want to put in a sandwich. The bread is cooked on site and is always fresh as a daisy, and sandwiches are generously crammed. My personal fave from here is a chicken, mayo and stuffing which is mois and really delicious, Hooray for Hanlons!

They were are all really nice though and the coffee was up to the usual Costa standard which is good. The panini I had and the toastie I got for my daughter were fine, but as usual for the food in the chain cafes, I found myself thinking it was just a little too dear and could have been a little nicer.

Welcoming and efficient service as always, and they thankfully didn't seem to mind the ever changing table numbers and different orders as groups of family came and went.

This is a really wonderful little bakery and restaurant that has been satisfying the bellies of the…read morepeople of Downpatrick for a long time and long may it continue! The store has been recently done up inside and is a good bit more pleasant and airy than what it was in the past. The store bakes a lot of fresh bread every day ranging from the usual Irish style favourites to multigrain and granary loafs, so all your bread needs are satissified. There are a lot of savoury pastry options on offer, as well as a vast array of buns, cakes and sweet pastries to help insulate you by increasing your fat reserves! The restaurant has a fairly basic menu o f the usual lunchtime options, but it everything is well prepared and delicious, with the added bonus that a lot of it can be prepared to take it away if you ask nicely to guarantee a good lunch! The sandwich station at the front is also great for those wanting a quick lunch. I hope that this review has sounded Fayre! ;D

I have eaten here a few times and love that there are great veggie options and highly recommend the full vegan cooked breakfast, hummus bowl with sourdough and veggie sausage roll with salads. The coffee is good, food delicious and ambience magical. A big plus is that it's dog friendly, a beautiful place to have a lunch and a stroll around the woods. Just loses one star from me as the service, albeit from really lovely staff, has been a bit haphazard at time e.g. forgetting to bring some drinks/ sauces to our table or taking orders incorrectly so sides were wrong and slow to seat people even when it has been relatively quiet. There's a relaxed vibe that comes with this outdoor dining experience so just be prepared for some relaxed service too, don't be in a rush either and you'll love your visit here..

Fodder is a great place for food and a very good coffee. It's one of those rare places that going…read moreto is about the experience of being there as well as the food and coffee itself. The reason? Well, you get to enjoy your great food and coffee in a Yurt! (yes I had to check the spelling). There is a fire in the middle that is well attended and gives a lovely smoky (far from obnoxiously so) aroma to the air. Having been recently on a cold, wet Wintery day it was warm and cosy inside, even more so since they've hung a big heavy curtain on the inside of the door to cut down on drafts. There is a good range of foods available from the burgers to wraps with great fillings as well as sandwiches. There are some great deserts available as well, tray bakes and the like. While the desert range is not extensive, it is all very high quality, and I'll take quality over quantity any day! The coffee all the usual fayre from filter through the full range of espresso based drinks (cappuccino, latte etc) and all as said very well made. A lot of the food available in Fodder is based around the produce of Finnebrogue Farm, of which Fodder is a part. You order your food and drinks in the cabin part shown in the photo I added and then move to the yurt. In there you can buy a range of Dexter beef that is reared there on the farm, we've bought a few items now to take home and they have been great, there is a decent (for the size of the place) selection of locally made chocs and hot sauces among other things too. The only draw backs are that as you would expect, you are going to pay a little more than many urban cafes serving similar fayre, although I will give them their dues that the quality certainly means you get what you pay for. Also the opening times, while I can't remember off the top of my head are limited, so it may not always be open when you are passing. But if it is, I would strongly recommend dropping in.
