We have frequented Fodder for the last year or so. It's far enough away to feel like a real treat to head here on a day out, but close enough that we are lucky to be able to visit often! The first day we visited the food was like nothing I had ever had before, the visits between then and now had once or twice not been just 100%, but this has never been down to lack of enthusiasm or lack of care from the management. We visited today and it was like experiencing fodder for the first time all over again. The service is always amazing, but the food was stand alone today. We had the dexter burgers, seasoned fries, slaw and the nicest garlic mayonnaise I've ever tasted in my life! Laura had inform...
Firstly, I can 't comprehend the negative reviews about this place. Totally the opposite to the experience I had there. The welcome when we arrived was akin to a home away from home. I have travelled the world, eaten in many places, all kinds of food, and the culinary experience was second to none. The ambience, low level harmonious music, friendliness of the staff, excellence of the dishes (it was the first time in my life that I had eaten raw beef and it was delicious, to the point of using a spoon to gather the last morsels to shovel into my mouth I could have eaten two). I also tried the veggie burger it was equally as delicious. We took take aways to scoff later. I would heartfeltly rec...
Firstly, I don’t get why people would give just one star! The food is incredible. The beef is a very high standard and their dishes are so well prepared. The staff are very, very friendly and attentive. They were particularly attentive regarding my mother’s allergy, altering their burger to remove any milk products (cheese) and noting the practices in the kitchen relating to allergens. The setting is just perfect and, from the second visit onwards, we were recognised and treated as regulars! We’re new to Northern Ireland, originally hailing from Yorkshire, and the staff have really helped us learn more of the local area. We say it every time, but thank you for every wonderful experience!
I visited the Farm Shop and tried the salad selection which was amazing. What was even more amazing was the flavour of the Dexter Sirloin steaks I purchased. I grilled them on my gas barbecue with some asparagus and served with home made champ. Mouth watering, succulent and flavourful. I love steak and eat it fairly often, however, in my view these steaks were probably the best I have ever eaten. On a different level to be sure. Give them a try you will thank me, and Fodder!

First time visiting Fodder, was pleasantly surprised how relaxing of an ambience it had. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Great selection on the menu. Service was first class, food was amazing and little wait time. I had the garlic mushrooms my wife had the beef deli bowl, she couldn’t recommend the salad enough. The coffee was beautiful and pleased it was local produce. We will definitely be back and highly recommending to friends and family.
I absolutely adore this restaurant - the setting is fabulous, the food is outstanding, and the staff are excellent. They are incredibly accommodating and friendly, always going above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. They are very attentive to dietary restrictions, especially allergies. This is our favorite go-to restaurant and I highly recommend it.
This is a lovely spot off the beaten track. They have lovely short trails to walk with the dogs, with beautiful scenery of the forest and the lake ahead. The food is not great but we would definitely recommend the coffee and hot chocolate. A beautiful place to visit in Winter with all of the fairy lights lit above the teepee tents. Will visit again.
An absolute gem!! Stunning location, a great experience eating in the teepee and the food was amazing! Just loved it here!! …we did some of the short trail walks which were through woodland with bluebells everywhere! A really special place!

Taken by a friend. Had an iced coffee and a Fodder Bap in the tepee tented area. Tasty bap. Lovely setting. Near the lakes and walks nearby. Very pleasant off the beaten track.
We visited on a very rainy day but the welcome and the teepee were warm. The food was delicious, the service was friendly and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
