Deli On The Green

Deli Bar & Bistro

Right from the very first encounter with Bob McDonald, Executive Chef at Deli on The Green in Moygashel, it is immediately obvious that it was his lust for life, passion for food and talent in the kitchen that inspired proprietor Claire Murray to bring him on board to nurture and develop the restaurant and deli in Dungannon, Co Tyrone.

This passion began when he was just fifteen years old and working at Malamison Hotel in Glasgow. It was here where his seminal relationships with local produce and producers started a life-long commitment to cooking with the fruits of the surrounding land and seas, which he holds dear to this day.

The simply but elegantly styled delicatessen on The Linen Green retail centre is a Mecca for local food lovers and producers. Bob frequently holds tastings (sometimes even with a glass or two of wine!) of new and exciting products from the Deli and for those eager to hone their technical skills, holds demonstrations and classes at fellow Good Food Ireland Member, Belle Isle Cookery School in Fermanagh.

In winter, we love to pop in for a hearty, comforting lunch of roasted Moyallon Sausages, served on a bed of creamy champ and onion gravy. Neither can we resist the amazing early bird Thursday evening special of chargrilled Irish Kettyle Beef Sirloin with mushrooms, homemade chips and onion rings washed down with a bottle of McCann's local cider!

With the light fading, the bistro buzzes with the chatter of happy diners. Candles flicker and bowls of steaming Dundrum Bay Mussels pass the table, along with Loins of Kilkeel Cod on aromatic tomato fondue and peat smoked seafood salads with lemon dressing...delicious! Afterwards, we share a plate of local Irish cheeses served with plenty of Robert Ditty's scrumptious Oatcakes...heaven!

Bob McDonald is a serious part of the local food movement in Northern Ireland.  He sources vegetables from nearby Anthony Quinn, dairy from Fivemile Creamery and in addition to making his own, sells stunning jams and preserves from Margaret Brownlee's Cottage Pride. Here is a serious chef with a genuine love of the locale, its produce and its producers and a great deli and bistro to prove it!
