30/08/2026: I found Nancy’s Barn on Google Maps while looking for a place to have a late lunch after a day touring the Northern Irish Coast. We are on holiday from the USA and places like Nancy’s Barn are making our trip special. It’s a gem that’s off the beaten path and just down the road from Malin Head. The menu is creative and the chowder is definitely a star (with a rich history). The fish tacos were quite tasty and prepared perfectly - they go well with onion rings. And I really enjoyed the apple crumble to finish off the meal. The staff are friendly and fast. We got to meet Kieran (the owner) on the way out and that made our visit even better. He’s so energetic and nice and really proud of his restaurant. Do yourself a favor and stop here if you’re in the area.

26/09/2026: Good food, good lager, good staff. Perfect!

20/09/2026: Just Visited Here For 18th Birthday Party I Had Coke, Lucozade, Red Bull, Fanta and Sprite The Staff Is So Friendly and Polite. I Would Visit Here Again For A Family Dinner.

11/07/2026: My family and I went for afternoon tea today and we were shambolic and didn’t know where we wanted to sit and were generally being very annoying! So I wanted to say thank you Killian and Emily for their patience with us today! Killian especially had the patience of a saint with us and was so lovely to my mammy who was on crutches and the two young girls we had with us. Thanks for being so delightful to us, we really appreciate it!
