The Moorings in Fermanagh

Tremendous food, gr8 music & very welcoming atmosphere! Staff extremely helpful & child friendly! Good to support great local restaurants like this after difficult times!

great lunch menu and plenty of choice i had the scampi which was very nice served outside overlooking the lough with table service and very tasty cold pints. friendly staff and very reasonable prices this is a must visit place!

Just stopped off at The Moorings for a quick drink. Lovely spot! Would highly recommend. Will definitely be back for a longer stay next time.

It's July 2020, Covid restrictions are easing, The Moorings restaurant is open with very good adherence to Covid regulations.The Moorings setting is in the narrow section of Upper Lough Erne with spectacular views. That said its a fabulous standard of service with Charlie who was injected at birth using a gramophone needle.A new chef is in place and the standard of food, taste, warmth, portion size, variety of menu all excellent. I had scampi my wife the chicken goujons. For desert I had the lemon merangue with its extra touches which added to its delicious taste. My wife had the chocolate fudge cake which is as good as anywhere.I would highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area, if you're not in the area I recommend you go for a drive to it.Its uplifting to see a business bouncing back after the shocking year we've had so far.

Visited as a group of 10 people. We booked a table for early teatime. We placed our order and 3 of our party ordered the battered cod. After some delay the owner apologised for the wait but said another large order had gone in before ours. We continued to wait almost 45 minutes during which time 3 other tables came in of smaller groups of 4. They were all served their food before us. Eventually 3 of our kids meals arrived but one of them was incorrect (beefburger instead of chicken burger). At the same time we were told there was no more cod left (the tables who came in after us had been served cod) and could we reorder something else. Reluctantly we ordered alternative meals and waited along with rest of our party for another 15 or 20 minutes. The waitress was very apologetic but the owner never approached us again despite walking past the table several times. Eventually the food arrived along with the corrected kids meal but the skinny fries ordered has been swapped for garlic chips which were not wanted. By this stage we were hungry and exasperated so didn't flag the mistake. When the bill arrived we had been charged in full without even a small concession for the wait or the mix ups and unavailability of what we had originally ordered .....a small token such as soft drinks taken off the bill would have gone a long way. We left disappointed and underwhelmed. Such a shame as location beautiful but food and service did not match on this occasion....

Recently had a takeaway meal for the family. The food was fantastic and Charlie and the staff are always a pleasure to deal with.

Once again a fabulous experience. Great food, good service and lovely friendly atmosphere not to mention the vista. Looking out on beautiful Lough Erne and all the boats. Food is very reasonably priced as well. Choice of proper dining room or pub grub. If eating in pub you will be warmed by a real coal fire. Lovely at this time of year. Once again well done Charlie and the gang

We have eaten in this restaurant quite often, the welcome is great and the food is brilliant, the staff are friendly and always a smile. The service is second to none . The owner makes a point of going round and speaking to everyone. Every customer is made to feel special in this restaurant.

Been a few times now on our own. On this visit we brought two friends. Staff very attentive despite another large group in. Friendly, helpful staff. Prices reasonable. Food order taken in good time and servers hot and promptly. Portion size is excellent without being too much. We were checked on several times to make sure everything was ok. Nice view and surroundings, ample car parking. Well worth making a visit to the Moorings. One of those places you'll enjoy and look forward to going back to.

Fancied Sunday lunch out for a change. A warm friendly welcome. Good menu selection for starters, main and desserts. Food was well presented and hot. I am a slow eater and food stayed warm throughout. Sensible portions. Friendly owner and staff. Well priced. Not only is The Moorings worth going to, it is worth going out of your way to. There are so many restaurants to choose from these days, this is one is a good choice.Ample parking and a great view too.

Great friendly place, convenient to all things boat. Wether a pop in for coffee or something more substantial a warm welcome from the Oldcrofts is at the heart of it all

Excellent food, freshly cooked and very nice staff. Highly recommended for lunch or diner! Kids menu very nice as well

We were recommended the moorings so thought we will try it ,really looking forward to it. I don't no if th chef was off or what but we were so disappointed! I ordered goujons & chips , the chips were cooked to much so hard , the ends of them would actually cut your mouth! The goujons came out literally on top of a bed of lettuce which with the heat of them wilted the lettuce It could have been presented so much better with a side salad, my partner took the burger which he said was just ok not very tasty & very dry! The food we thought was quite tasteless for an award winning restaurant, we paid for our meal but were not asked was everything ok if I had been I would have said then what I thought of it.

Hearty grub by beautiful Lough Erne. Staff were very welcoming and mains and dessert went down a treat!

Recommended by my uncle and we were all hugely impressed after this first visit. We enjoyed superb,high quality food and a level of hospitality by Charlie and his team that really was on a different level. The food was very fresh, cooked to perfection and at a very reasonable price. Very family orientated and the care lavished on our three children was wonderful to behold. I'll be back at the first opportunity!

Took my girlfriend out for lunch here the service was outstanding. Got a table straight away and the food was delicious and perfect. Charlie and his family runs the place and it’s dog friendly as well. Would I go back yep I would

Good simple fare when we called for Sunday lunch as a family group without booking. First 2 staff members were pretty poor and even though we asked one if there was any specials we were none the wiser after the answer was so baffling/ muddled. Then who I can only assume was owner came to table and his attitude alone would make us return and I commend u sir. Now food was ok and hungry kids made light work of it but it’s odd that u have to pick between potato and veg as sides to a main course but hey that’s how it was ... I’ll be back to give them another chance anyway !!

We went for a family meal at the end of our week long holiday in Enniskillen. We had already been in during our stay and the food was excellent with Charlie taking the time to come over and talk to us all.

waren im urlaub dort. preis leistung super, essen spitze und grosse portionen. super nette und aufmerksame bedienung. jederzeit wieder. uneingeschränkte empfehlung.

Hubby and I were visiting Fermanagh along with my childhood friend and her better half. As we were staying overnight, her brother who has a boat at Bellinaleck, recommended The Moorings as a place worth visiting to have a meal on the Saturday night. He also cautioned that as it was a popular spot it might be better to book a table which we did.

Went into the moorings in bellenalleck the decor is outdated the owner is rude as a member of the family was insulted and was told that he looks like a boy that should be washing the dishes and not eating!!! What sort of a establishment is this “owner” running, once one of the young members of staff directed us to our table the table right next to us had a dog lying on the floor!! This is a disgrace no dog should be allowed in a restaurant and he stunk of wet dog!! This is a joke!!! When the food came I order chicken curry the curry was luke warm and was bland will definitely not be back to this absolute rubbish restaurant!!

Cannot recommend this wee hidden treasure enough. Stopped off during a shopping trip to enniskillen with my 3 children. On first site we were greeted by the most amazing scenery and then the smell of yummyness. We were greeted by a extremly friendly gentleman who instantly communicated with my children on their level, to which is a BIG massive plus point.

First time there! It will also be the last! Starter took 45 mins to come out as the order didn’t reach the kitchen as we were told.... the soup was boiled water and chunks of carrots the Brie was fine but it’s hard to get wrong! THEN.... the main courses two burgers a chicken and a beef burger... the beef burger was so so bland it was in eatable and most of it was left there... my chicken burger was three chicken goujons topped with dry bacon and under was a bit of lettuce.... no dressing no taste very very dry and most of it was left behind ..... I didn’t ask for chicken goujons I asked for chicken burger.... the garlic chips ... they were hard and mildly dressed with garlic so again bland! Very very very disappointing for £33 Won’t be returning! On the up side the staff seemed nice!

As part of our holiday we had planned to eat there on the first and last nights; having rented a cruiser from the marina. A very prominent sign about 25 feet in length stated 'Under New Management. Open every day 12 noon until 9pm'

Visited here on a Saturday evening. We were unable to book in advance as they were fully booked but on the night they fitted us in. The staff were lovely and the food was as described. Nothing fancy but good value for money food. I would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Lovely welcome. Good menu. You wouldn’t want to be in a rush. Fish and chips too some time!!! Deserts looked good but we had to go.

Consistent quality of food and a menu with something different, rather than the usual offerings. All the staff are really helpful and it's a great venue when the weather is good and you can sit outside.

I went to to tidy my boat today, I could smell food coming from the Moorings restaurant, I've eaten here before, always friendly staff, the young girl who served us was very pleasant the food we had was the Moorings burger with garlic cubed potatoes, my friend had a big plate of chips. We both had a beer each. Total came to £19 ISH. Food was cooked well and not long to wait 5 stars :)

This little gem of a bar and restaurant sits on the banks of Lough Erne and was undoubtedly one if the friendliest places we've had the pleasure of spending an evening. While it might not look very inviting from the outside, don't be fooled. The food was wholesome and tasty, the service excellent. Charlie is a great host, funny and attentive, even giving us a lift home to our guest house. A table quiz, impromptu sing-along and fab new cocktail menu made our night in The Moorings a night to remember...

We came down for a wee break and found this great spot. Service, food, atmosphere and warmth were just what we wanted. Really enjoyed the evening and Charlie treated the ladies to his gin knowledge and they found new drinks they didn’t know existed.

Had lovely afternoon in the Moorings. Lovely food and attentive service. Adults and children all enjoyed their food. Looking forward to returning soon!

We visited with our toddler and the staff were so accommodating. Food was lovely. Would definately visit again.

the food in this restaurant is excellent and well cooked and presented very well, the staff pleasant and helpful and in a hidden location with great views.. well worth a visit

Our son and daughter in law held their wedding reception at the Moorings. What a special venue overlooking Loch Erne. The hosts Charlie and Mabel were incredible. Nothing was too much trouble. The meal, including vegan and vegetarian options, was excellent. The staff were amazing managing a party of 70 plus for the reception and accommodating the public restaurant and bar. Could not fault the day/evening. Would recommend it for a casual meal or a reception/party venue.

Friendly welcome, great food (the burgers are excellent), and lots of useful local information from the owner. Recommended.

We stopped in for lunch yesterday at this venue. It has recently been taken over by Charlie & Mabel. We hadn't been before but could tell it was freshly decorated and had a lovely feel to the place. The owners are very friendly & helpful, they restaurant has various places you can choose to eat & drink from. We chose to sit outside overlooking the boats in the Marina. A good lunchtime menu reasonably priced. The garlic fries are amazing & worth a visit just for a big bowl of them alone. we had burgers too which were very fresh & homemade. We will definitely be back again soon.

Just dropped into "The Moorings" as we where passing by and looking for a bite to eat and thank goodness we did..this place is an absolute gem..beautiful setting , good food and great family atmosphere.this is mail due to Steve Helen and the very friendly staff .as I understand it the new owners took over the place 15 months ago and although it's a work in progress they have transformed the place..I have no hesitation in recommending "The Moorings" for lunch dinner or just a pint on the decking...ENJOY!

Great veiws of marina great family atmospher food was good a bit slow even though it was busy service let the place down abit we had all the time in the world but still a bit more of a customer focus wouldnt go a miss hope this doesnt come across the wrong way as we had a lovely time would definitely like to return and very resonable and welcoming

Fantastic food service and definitely value for money steaks are fantastic outside seating area is great

Varied reasonably priced menu however even if you book service is slow as there is not enough waiters/waitresses. If you are not in a hurry or starving for food its worth the wait. We waited over 2hrs for food however it was a very sunny day and the restaurant was packed. You can dine al fresco or inside. Staff will bring you blankets outside if you are cold. I will definitely go back to see if service has improved. Enjoy!

This is a great restaurant to drop in for some good food in a casual type restaurant. The food is tasty and good value.

It's refreshing to see a proprietor and team working hard to provide good service and good food at fair prices coupled with friendly helpful atmosphere. Charlie and his family and team deserve 10/10 for the offer they have put together at The Moorings. They really go the extra mile, for example they pulled out the stops to make sure the occupants of a hire boat got fed last Saturday night having been turned away from another lakeside business. Good varied menu and all very tasty.

Charlie and his crew really looked after us last night-4 kids and 4 adults. Great spot if one is boating and great view from restaurant. We were inside but if weather is good try outside.

Quaint friendly place , delightful bar with a nice atmosphere, we enjoyed a first class evening meal in the restaurant, all of the staff from Charlie down couldn’t have made us more welcome...give it ago

Enjoyed our dinner here. Great service, great food. Enjoyed the stuffed pork and a steak. Just a few minutes drive from Enniskillen. Enjoyed the view of docks and boats while you eat. Has a bar and restaurant.

From the first phone call to book the table until the end of our meal we dealt with nothing but polite staff who were so friendly! Fantastic food, and a 10/10 For the vegetarian chilli pasta! Will definitely be back!

Stopped whilst travelling the area by boat. Food was freshly cooked and delicious. Sea food chowder was full of seafood and very tasty. Staff were very helpful and friendly, nothing seemed to much bother. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful Sunday lunch with just the right amount of attention. Staff are friendly and helpful. Casual ambience and a restful setting. Very good food on offer to suit all palatte preferences and a touch of friendly Fermanagh too.

The staff in The Moorings really make the place. One example from the night was how much time and knowledge Charlie had about Gin and all the pairing combinations. This was great help as I am quite a novice in the Gin world. Earlier he had just got a new gin delivered and he gave us all samples for us to try, really going out of his way to make sure we had a great experience! Highly recommend The Moorings as a place to go for food and for drinks!

Excellent, staff and food make the place, more than obliging , have visited several times now, always the same, a place certainly worth a visit. In the winter only open at the weekends.

We spent Saturday afternoon at the bar & restaurant- cannot say enough about the owners & staff- so friendly & nice & couldn't do enough for us. Food was fabulous as was the warmth & friendliness of all! Can't wait to go back.

The Moorings was recommended to us by our B&B; owner and it was ideally located outside Enniskillen which suited us. The owner helped us to get in as the car park appeared to be flooded but it was deceptive and the restaurant is situated overlooking the marina so had a lovely view. The food was reasonably priced and good honest food which we enjoyed very much. The service was excellent and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. There was a table quiz that night also which was great craic and it ensured there was great banter between the locals and the blow-ins! Well worth a visit

Our meal was perfect and the service was excellent. The manager and staff came back and asked if everything was alright. The premises and conveniences were clean. I would recommend to anyone.you would need to book if they had a function on.

The restaurant was just opening when we went. The owner treated us as if we were food critics and came to ask our opinion of many things and offered tastings and samples. I don't know if this would happen to everyone, but my wife who is a "foody" really enjoyed it all. And nice views.

It’s a wonderful venue and the staff were great BUT the food whilst okay WAS just okay. Not expensive but quality and presentation could have been better.

We visited twice on our visit to the area. The staff was friendly, treated their customers well. Guinness went down well as well.

We arrived around 6 and were the second couple there but made to feel very welcome by the owner and barman. I had the best fish and chips ever ( a fresh dry fry whale sized portion plus perfect chips but the latter enough for 3 plus) and my husband had a tasty salmon dish with a spicy sausage twist. All great value.

We had a great meal here, the food was great, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The toilets were new and clean. The only downside was the dinning room, they have tried, but lacks atmosphere with high ceilings, laminate flooring, could have been a road side cafe, and little view of the lakes

Visitamos los amarres como nos alojábamos localmente. Esta es una ubicación al lado del puerto deportivo. Nos tomamos unas bebidas la primera noche y nos hicieron sentir muy bienvenidos. La noche siguiente volvimos para cenar. La carne estaba muy buena y, de nuevo, el servicio era muy amable. Yo recomendaría el hotel si estás en la zona.

Fabulosa ubicación junto al lago, perfecto para la cena, que era de buena calidad y un menú variado para todos los gustos.

Visitamos el amarres con amigos. . . Charlie, el personal y el ambiente era excelente. La comida era excelente y nos lo pasamos genial. El Craig fue genial. Gran lugar. Si en f. managh no te pierdas este pedazo de cielo. Genial x

Wir waren als Familie an einem Freitagabend hier Essen. Die Karte ist kein, aber das Essen ist hervorragend. Die Bedienung ist sehr nett, nur manchmal etwas vergesslich. Auch der Nachtisch war sehr lecker. Für einen Stopp während einer Bootstour auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen.

As a group of 6 participating in the Lough Erne boat rally last Sunday we stayed overnight in the marina. We went to the moorings for a drink and Charlie and his staff could not do enough for us, as the chef had finished for the evening he helped us arrange a takeaway meal to bring back to our boat. He is very helpful and has great knowledge about the local area and we plan a return visit for lunch during the summer.

I have been to moorings umpteen times since it was taking over by new owners.I have been in for breakfast lunch and dinner no have never been disappointed,It is very reasonably priced and has good atmosphere. You can also go or a drink and sit and overlook lough Erne. The bar also sells food and is dog friendly.

We visited the Moorings 2 evenings during our visit to Enniskillen earlier this month. The food was excellent and served by a staff that was very professional. Charlie, the owner was visiting customers to ensure all was in order. We had a nice chat with him as we enjoyed the beautiful views. Thanks to Charlie and the staff.

What a location to look over the marina while having a drink or having some of the great food on offer .If your in the area i would highly recommend this place and the staff are so friendly also .

Heard The Moorings Marina & Restaurant was open again so we called in today for lunch. Plenty of seating outside if you bring your dog. The views over the Lough are stunning. Good choice for lunch and prices very competitive. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The food is cooked fresh when ordered and is of an excellent quality. Served in a timely manner. Well done to the new management, I hope it won't be long until we are back.

Visit at least once a week this is the 4th time chicken has not been fully cooked still cold in the middle sent it back. The young lady was very apologetic offered something else then offered a drink we took a refund for the meal. Do the kitchen staff not know how dangerous it is to serve uncooked chicken. Additionally no milk or sugar at service area. We did ask for condiments as we could not find any we are still waiting as Kathy seemed to forget. At one stage at least 19 customers were waiting to be served what is going on in once good branch of Wetherspoons.

Dieses Restaurant hat uns Catherine vom Corrigan Shore House, ein tolles B&B in der Nähe, empfohlen. "Moorings" liegt in einem Jachthafen und sieht von aussen nicht besonders aus. Was wir jedoch dort zu essen bekamen war allererste Klasse. Die Preise sind moderat. Ich freue mich darauf wieder dorthin zu fahren.

We stopped off for a light lunch in the Moorings on a drizzly Sunday afternoon. It is beautifully located overlooking the Erne with a large number of boats moored beside it. There is a large deck where I assume one can dine if the weather permits. The bar/restaurant itself is clean with lots of large windows to allow one to appreciate the lovely scenery. It was quiet when we arrived as there were two other diners eating in the bar area. There were two girls working behind the bar. We seated ourselves in the restaurant area and menu's were dropped off. I should mention that there was a menu board at the entrance with a choice of 2 or 2 starters and main courses for about £12. As we were having a light lunch we didn't examine this closely. The menu is quite extensive and suited our needs perfectly. A Panini and some prawns in filo pastry were chosen. The food arrived fairly promptly and was ok. The portions were quite large and more than sufficient for our needs. I would stop by again to try some of the other dishes on the menu if I am passing. The girls working there were quite friendly.

Excellent place to eat ,nothing is to much for the staff .and the food was excellent well presented and cooked to our taste we have eaten here before a long time ago and it seems to have got better

High standard of food and service with views over Lough Ern.Seasonal weekend venue but well worth a visit. Option to dine or drink outside.

Given the number of over-priced, pretentious eateries in the area it was refreshing to find a place that concentrates on good food at good prices. Between us we had three main courses, a bottle of decent wine, a further glass of wine and four pints of beer - the bill was just under £60. The service was slightly amateur (knives and forks arrived after the food) but it didn't really matter.

Great spot for a traditional Irish meal. great service, excellent food, nice views and friendly locals for a bitta craic n banter over a beer.I had the steak and chips and it was delicious, near 2 inches thick, cooked to perfection with mash and peppered sauce!I'll be backa must for people boating on the erne or wanting a private party locationB

The location is lovely - looking out onto the water. As it was raining (it is Ireland!) we had to sit indoors, but on a warm / dry day, there's a deck to sit out on. The food was reasonably priced and there was a choice even for vegetarians. The only reason I didn't give this an 5* review is that the waitress forgot to bring us water and she didn't quite get my drink right. Nor did she tell us that the first course and main course I ordered had the exact same salad - coleslaw, cucumbers and tomatoes. However, I'd definitely go back there if I were in the area again.

This was the nearest restaurant to where we were spending the night and was chosen for that reason only. It is beautifully located by a marina on the waterway connecting Upper and Lower Lough Erne. The food is good, but not outstanding - this is not an up-market restaurant, but more bistro-style. Service was good and the prices reasonable.
