About
The Old Thatch Inn, part of the Taste Mid Ulster Food Trail, is a family run business, nestled in the heart of Castledawson next door to the birth place of renowned poet Seamus Heaney. We are one of the oldest pubs in Northern Ireland, established in 1832. Our old stone walls and open turf fire gives a warm welcome to anyone who steps through our red door.
Enjoy a delicious meal in our traditional surroundings, which includes our very popular Poet’s corner as the walls are draped with beautiful poetry.

We offer entertainment every weekend, and traditional sessions monthly from local talented artists. Our front bar is the true definition of an old
traditional bar, from its surroundings to the open hatch door.
Our function room was built in 2012 to accommodate the vast number of people coming through the doors. With this new addition we can cater for
all occasions.
