Christmas 2026

Festive lunch and dinner in Swatragh

Christmas at Friels

Come in from the cold

For nearly two centuries, Friels has welcomed neighbours, families and travellers in from the winter weather. This Christmas, gather by the fire in our historic bar and restaurant and let us do the cooking: turkey and ham with all the trimmings, slow-roasted McAtamney’s beef, and the desserts everyone saves room for.

Both of our festive menus are made with local produce and served by pre-order only, so book early to be sure of your table.
