The Nook in Moyle

Was conveniently placed, as we were going to Giants Causeway directly after. Food was great. Service personnel seemed a bit upset or perplexed they had customers coming through the door. The building was really cool, I believe and old schoolhouse and had multileveled floors, was really beautiful.

I HAD THE IRISH STEW AND 3 GUINESS. I CHUGGED THE GUINESS AND REALLY IMRESSED SOME OLD AMERICANS SITTING BY ME. THEY COULDN'T BELIEVE I COULD DOWN A GUINESS THAT FAST. I THEN WALKED THE CAUSEWAY AND HAD A LOVELY 2 HOURS OUTSIDE

They are serving food non-stop and if there is room available, the service is pretty fast. We had the soup of the day and a chicken sandwich and the order came in a span of maximum 10 min. I would say the quality was okay and the price is quite okay for being a pub in a touristic place. The location is awesome and the decoration of the place is perfectly tuned with the surroundings of the pub.

Cute lil pub near the Giants causeway. Great steak pie and super light scampi. Very popular so there is a wait for everything...kudos to the bartender for efficient and speedy service.

Stay away if you just want a drink 2x 1/2 pint of lime and soda £6.00 Rip your tourist off why dont ya!

Isn't it shocking when customer service appears not to exist? We line up and others who have just walked in get served before us! Then there was 2 serving behind the bar one customer! Then another person walks in and gets served before us! I mentioned this and the barmaid started arguing with me! Really? This is disgraceful and rude! It appears that staff training is in order!

A mediocre pub that is extremely conveniently located right near the Giants Causeway. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful, but also seemed overworked and missed a bunch of things in our order. Bottom line, a very convenient place to get some food near the Causeway, but don't expect the higher end of pub fare.

Highly recommend. Great food. Great staff. Free parking for customers. Close to the Giant's Causeway.

I'm from Northern Ireland and love stopping by small pubs for lunch. I'd been here a few years ago and the place was warm, inviting and very cozy. I'd went back to discover that it was just a cattle market for tourists. Cheapest, low quality food that you could find at a fairly high price. I saw so many American tourists pay though the nose for something that you'd get for £10 at a chip van. The staff are still very good and attentive but the atmosphere is gone. Good if you're desperate for the toilet and a quick drink, otherwise... I'd avoid it.

Never again! Soup and sandwich combo. Maybe I chose the wrong food on the menu, or the chef had a bad day!

Very very very expensive. We had a stew which was okayish. But the fishcake tasted like nothing, barely edible even with extra salt. The ciabatta with chicken was completely without sauce and totally dried out, so I had to order ketchup to go with it - not at all worth the price. This store simply seems to thrive on the fact that tourists have no real alternative and can therefore be charged a lot of money. If you come by on a tour, it's better to take something to eat from home.

Amazing service, delicious. Rebecca rocks!

Good but expensive sandwitches, but there is a lot in them

Terrible food, overpaid and really rude staff

Nice little place. Nice guest room. Good food and drinks at fair prices. However, if a tour group shows up, you no longer have to queue. Luckily we got there beforehand. If you drink and eat inside, make sure that the drinks go into the glass and not into the plastic cup. I would visit again at any time.

Convenient spot for those visiting the Giants Causeway that want a quick bite to eat. We grab some cokes and a basket of fries before our bus took off. Staff was friendly and service was quick.

Took a day tour from Belfast in June. There was more than enough time to walk around and then have a cup of coffee here before boarding the bus back to Belfast.

Such a disappointing experience. No alternative milks, no vegan options. My open prawn sandwich was thrown onto a slice of bread on a salad consisting of the very cheapest ingredients which to be honest was mainly onions. If that wasn't bad enough, the women's toilets contained an open bin for sanitary towels. I'm shocked by the disrespect shown for women's feminine hygiene. Surely for the prices this establishment charges women should be offered something a little more than a bin! £60 for a sandwich, a soup and two sides - you really need to raise your game. My advice to diners is eat before you come to the Giant's Causeway!

A lovely place to visit and the Steak & Guinness Pie 🥧 was very enjoyable and the Pints Of Stout were very enjoyable also....... 😀

Beautiful restaurant, had a wonderful lunch after our Giant Causeway trip. Stuff very friendly, environment outstanding. Perfect place to stop by when visiting Northern Ireland 🇮🇪. Love 🇬🇧

Convenient location for the causeway and nice interior and view from windows. Food overpriced (though that’s to be expected due to location) £7 for a portion of awful oven chips. Food was ok, very basic. Service lacking.

Great food, great location. Friendly team!

After walking the causeway we were in dire need of some warm food and beer. The chowder was excellent 👌

Busy place ,but we got our meal and beer pretty quickly. Friendly staff. My wife and I had the traditional irish stew. It was absolutely delicious!

Rude staff and mediocre, overpriced food. I don't recommend!

Called here at mid day during an organised tour with limited time It wasn’t busy, went to the bar and ordered two pints of beer, paid & asked to go to our table. We waited & waited. After nearly 20 minutes we went to the bar. Told there was a problem with the beer pump. Eventually it was sorted then we had to quickly finish our drinks, this pub is pricey, in a prime position Visitors from around the world, the owners need to invest, more staff, smarten up the outside please

Convenient location for a quick bite. Hot chocolate was good but sandwich was not.

Very long queues and lots of people, but the food and drinks are very tasty. An atmospheric place.

Slow to order but we got our stew almost immediately. Love that for us!! The stew was superb 👌🏻👌🏻

My friends and I had lunch here, I had the mussels and they were 10/10 best mussels I think I’ve ever had! The service was amazing, younger staff but they handled the crowd well and were pleasant while doing so. I highly recommend trying this place out!

Had a quick bite. Didn't really explore the other option at site. So, I'd say it was decent enough. Would've been nicer if the bread was toasted for the prawn sandwich.

Went to sit there after the walk . Great pub. Very busy indeed. Food looked delicious

Excellent location on Causeway road, Bushmills North Ireland. Food was fresh and good. Service was very friendly.

Nice little pub next to Giant's Causeway

Made a day trip from Dublin. Day was clearly busy and I had to que in line for 30 minutes before could even make the order. Food was good, but pretty basic. The price however did not match with the quality in my opinion. Staff made it's best, but somehow things seemed a bit unorganized. I only had limited time at the Giants Causeway, therefore the wait made it a bit uneasy for me.

My wife and I walked to the Nook today looking forward to sitting outside for a drink in the sunshine. But the outside area was so dirty we could not stay. One table had the remains of a previous meal with napkins and salad leaves blowing around the place . Even worse there was a large puddle of recent vomit on the ground beneath one of the dining tables. So we went to the nearby Causeway hotel for a pleasant drink. Around an hour later we returned and passed by the Nook again. The same meal remains were still on the table. More litter had gathered around and the puddle of vomit was still there but unfortunately some people had walked through it and spread it around. It is so sad that Ireland’s premier visitor attraction and world heritage site, the Giant’s Causeway, has this disgraceful hole right beside it. Our foreign visitors are not impressed.

Highly over priced for a microwaved meal. Very small portions. Left hungry. Felt ripped off. Gone to another place to get more food.

Great little pub right next to the Giants Causeway. Grabbed the quick sandwich and they had a great selection of Whiskey from the bushmills distillery up the road.

We had amazing sandwiches here, but we would have loved to have more time to try the steak and Guinness pie, which had an amazingly high puff pastry on it - it looked and smelled delicious. The people next to us recommended it, and we just drooled!

We had a bite here before walking the Giant's Causeway. Food is decent if a little expensive. Order at the counter.

Slowest bar staff ever. The two young ladies just did not have clue as to how to run the bar and food order process efficiently. Real pity as the pub is in a great location.

"My recent experience at The Nook left much to be desired, particularly concerning their ordering process. Despite being in a hurry due to time constraints from a bus tour, the food ordering system was inefficient and frustrating. With a young staff in place, customers are required to order at the bar and remember their table number for food delivery. This setup proved to be a significant hindrance, especially for those under time pressure. The Nook should seriously reconsider their approach to serving customers. They need to decide whether they want to operate as a fast-food establishment or provide full table service. Our tour group ended up losing a valuable hour from our itinerary due to the delays caused by this flawed ordering system. If The Nook wishes to cater to bus tours and similar groups, they must adapt their mechanisms to ensure efficient service. My recommendation for future visitors is to enter the restaurant, secure a table, and then have someone wait in line to place the order. Until they address these issues, I would advise against recommending The Nook to bus tour operators or anyone with time-sensitive schedules

This restaurant needs to learn the needs of the people who are dining with them. We wanted to eat and leave so we could spend time on Giant’s Causeway, but it took forever to order the food (45 minutes). The staff there were all very young and seemingly inexperienced. They don’t have a very efficient method of operations. If you can, avoid this place, especially if you are on a bus tour and have limited time. The food was just ok.

Parked here for 10 euros. They took Samsung/Apple Pay. Spots were a bit tight but there were very helpful guides there to direct us to a parking spot. There’s public restrooms at the side of the building. Would definitely park here again.

nice spot with good pricing food

Nothing really special.. They are in a prime Location because of Causeway closing off cafe to ticket holders only. Chicken was overcooked but the drink and service was Great.

Nice pub Great spot Lunch was decent However Don't bring kids £12.50 for kids Chicken Nuggets each and charged for a blackcurrant on top.

Great location, captive audience…..so they don’t really seem bothered about much! Shame. Took so long to be served, unnecessary ! I wouldn’t return.

This place is fantastic. Lovely scones, staff are great. Way better than the National Trust and their concrete monstrosity next door.

Friendly and tasteful Irish cuisine. Service not up to standard and prices quite excessive given the quantity on the plate. Don’t have an Irish coffee or a pint of Guinness, you will be disappointed compared to other places…

11/04/24-Honestly the worst customer service I have ever seen in my life, 0 stars one staff member on her phone and the other one I couldn’t understand what she was saying mumbling and muttering under her breath, eventually got ordered after standing at the bar, glass of coke came with lipstick on the glass, food was ok but for the price you are paying you would expect more food on the plate, ordered a steak pie, steak sandwhich, 2 kids meals, also asked to tip before we received our food. Glad I said no as not one member of staff came near us to ask if everything was ok just food served and that was it. £12.50 for a kids meal is a disgrace! But with limited options around the area, I guess the owner is happy ripping tourist off.

Stopped there after our the Giant Causeway tour, we only had Guiness.. the staff were helpful and very friendly

While visiting the causeway we stopped in The Nook for a quick drink and a nibble before heading around the hill walk and down to the columns. It was a nice, quaint little place. Food did the job and the coffee was nice enough. A tad on the pricey side, but comfortable enough to make a nice enough rest break.

Accueil horrible ! Ne servent pas à manger alors que certains clients ont des salades. Pas de sandwich, pas de gâteaux ! Bref à fuir …

We stopped for lunch while on tour of Giant's Causeway. The staff was friendly, the service was fast, and the food was good. We had the fish & chips and side order of french fries. All was fresh and hot. It was busy and not many tables - please grab a table as you walk in.

Excellent food with great atmosphere. You can park your car, have food and visit giants causeway. A lovely place with lots of history. Irish coffee is a must try.

30/03/2024: the most SLOWLY queue that I EVER seen in my entire life!! 10 minutes each person just to pay, I had 6 people in front of me and after 30 MINUTS there were still 3. I had to leave to not loose my coach. Girls, you're like 6 in there, MOVE!!!!!

£12 for a children's meal?! I feel like this place is catering towards tourists. For the average NI family out for a walk up the coast I don't believe this is affordable whatsoever.. the staff were disinterested and didn't look up when I waited at the bar to be handed a menu and to check if we could eat outside. We went elsewhere

the best stew i’ve ever had the pleasure of gracing my tastebuds with. I will forever be condemned to try and cook it myself but will undoubtedly never succeed. please do yourself a favour and get the irish stew.

Only stopped in briefly for a pudding which was lovely

Nice pub and restaurant near the causeway

Very nice, fast serving , nice service . Highly recommend it.

Located as the car park nearest the Giant’s Causeway this is a very quaint little spot, furnished with old school desks and benches. We only had coffees and desert but the prices listed on the menu were definitely on the expensive side. The food did look good but I was glad we weren’t there for lunch.

Lovely place to visit for hot dri k or alcoholic drink after visiting the giants Causeway. The food looked lovely, but we didn't eat this time

Suberb little pub. Never expected such a sublime pint of Guinness up in the middle of nowhere.

They have wifi but don’t let customers use it

Took shelter here after a very cold, wet and windy visit to Giants Causeway. Very cosy old schoolhouse still with traditional features. Food menu was limited so decided not to bother. To warm ourselves up we ordered an Irish Coffee and a Baileys Coffee which were very good but at nearly £20 for the 2 they should have been. Nice open fire which we sat by to dry out and wait for our tour bus to collect us.

Just a quick coffee for us whilst waiting for the bus. Excellent after a long walk and doesn't require paying to get in to the NT visitor centre.

Great little spot with reasonable prices and good selection of drinks and light bites. We had afternoon tea, with the freshest scones I’ve ever tasted. Staff are super friendly too,

The day was gray, dark, almost black, with a very strong wind. Or enter, it seems you could cross paths with Francis Drake or Blackbeard.

The soup of the day was delicious and was wonderfully warming after the walk!

Irish Stew to die for, amazing food, friendly staff. Would def recommend. Great start to your Giant's Causeway experience.

THE BEST GUINNESS I HAD IN IRELAND AND I TRIED A FEW (not bragging)!!!! Portion of chips a rip off at £6.50 but it helped to fill a small gap in front of an open fire.

Located at the entrance of Giant's Causeway, this cafe is a boon to tourists, friendly staff, excellent fast cuisine and choicest drinks, a memorable place to spend time after a grueling trek.

After trekking on the challenging Giants Causeway, we bumped into this little cafe, it was windy and cold outside, the staff at this cafe are young, smiling and friendly. Simple ambience and super service. Irish delicacies are amazing.

A brilliant pub at the entrance of Giants Causeway. Worth it

The food portions are shareable and delicious!

Really, really disappointing food - poor quality and vastly overpriced. £14.85 for a small bowl of soup and 4 small sandwiches is ridiculous. Soup tasted shop bought and prawns had clearly just been defrosted. Staff were attentive and food served quickly. Nice atmosphere. Badly let down by food quality and price.

Great food, exactly what I wanted after a windy walk. Very friendly staff! Definitely recommend it:)

The pub was quiet as it was just before Christmas and we got a place to sit right away. Food came quickly but was average in taste. The meat was overcooked and the chips were greasy. We also had the soup which was tasty but with a small piece of wheaten bread so was expensive. The kids meal had the biggest plate of chips and seemed to be enjoyed. Definitely feel that it was expensive for what we received. Interestingly they asked us how was the meal and we said average and they just took our plates.

despite being remote. the establishment gives what a restaurant should. enjoyed it a lot. good hangout place after a stroll into Giant's Causeway

place full of tourists. pay as you order. accepts credit cards if you don't have pounds with you. food was just okay.

Ate here for a stop on a tour. I was leery as most of the time restaurant recommendations on tours I don't trust. I was very wrong on this one. The pub was airy, the food excellent and the Irish coffee hit the spot. I had the fish and chips and was pleased. Service was excellent considering the high volume they were handling. Price considering location at a major tourist spot was reasonable.

Meals were poor quality, small and very overpriced. Service was good and quick and staff were nice. I had a sandwich which was made from cheap ingredients and not seasoned. The side salad was not fresh and the leaves were limp and wilted. The crisps on the side were also stale. Others meals were also poor.

Had two chicken sandwiches which were very good. Order of fries was huge and very good. Still no ketchup in bottle anywhere in Ireland so if you’re a ketchup lover be prepared to open small packets. Had a hot Baileys and chocolate cake with ice cream that was also delicious.

Not only is this place adorable and in a beautiful location, but the food and service were amazing as well! Some of the best food I've had all week in Ireland and you will not leave hungry. Sure, they are busy being right off the Causeway but are completely worth the wait. We were on a bus tour and had plenty of time to eat here and walk both blue and red route.

Pleasant entrance to the establishment with a warm fire going. The bar is very large and you would expect to be able to buy a drink. Nah, you have to queue with everyone else to place your order with one person on a till in the far corner! We both had the Irish stew with soda bread. I can honestly say it was a good size portion and there was plenty of meat for the veg/potato and was very tasty and well seasoned, even had to pull out a bay leaf...... The soda bread was defrosted recently as the middle was very cold. Definitely not fresh baked. The other food being delivered looked plentiful and well presented. NB Yes its pricey, yes the staff are miserable and don't know what customer service is about. Lets be honest, its at a very busy site (Giants Causeway) so its a cash cow for the owners who wouldn't care about service (even if they knew what it was). If you want service and value for money, go elsewhere.

Located near the entrance of the Giants Causeway. This quaint little bar held a huge surprise. Service was excellent and only outmatched by the surroundings and food quality. The heat from the fireplace warmed us as we waited for our food. The wait was worth it and the food was to die for. Best fish and chips ever….

Pleasant staff and charming interior and surroundings. Very good chocolate cake, reasonable prices. Clean toilets

This was an incredibly busy pub, however the staff managed it really well and the food wasn’t compromised. Great atmosphere and excellent food and service 👍

We called in here on Monday, the place was so busy, came in the door staff informed us to get a table, what specials where on that day, they where on a blackboard above a lovely fireplace, they then told us when we where ready to order to join the queue, we then placed our order at the bar, we had someone with us with a dairy allergy, the staff explained what we could have on the menu, I asked if the Irish stew had and dairy in it, the girl was unsure so asked the chef, which was great peace of mind, we had a great meal although expensive, and no alternative milk, but what stood out the most was the service and how well the staff deal with the amount of customers, reading some of the reviews, my exceptions where not high at all, but the service the staff provided was great, the women and man behind the bar, had a great knowledge of the local whiskeys informing us of which one they would recommend, and the different barrels they are aged in, it was great as we missed the distillery on our short visit to bushmills.

Having read the previous review regarding service on 7th September I felt compelled to review. What a load of tripe! Some people need to give their heads a wobble!! I was attending meetings on Friday in The Nook and this quite literally did not happen. We were at a table opposite the bar and the staff were courteous, attentive and friendly. All my colleagues passed comment on the Nook team and how they rarely see customer service to the standard given by the girls and guys here. The food was tasty, served efficiently and with a smile. Top class staff!

Friday 7th September we were out for a drive and decided to call at the Nook as ther seemed to be a great atmosphere around it the moment we stepped inside we were approached and offered a table by a member off staff who couldn't do enough for us. Food was delicious,we were asked on two occasions if everything was okay we were so happy with the reception and food we got we will certainly be back again very soon. Ronnie and Karen Shields

After a lovely day out we called into the nook for some lunch and a cold drink. We were greated by friendly and helpful staff. My grandmother has walking difficulties and the manager helped gran into her seat. They explained the specials and soup of the day. (Potato and leek) We had lunch which was lovely, the soup, Bushmills chicken and sandwiches. If you are visiting the North Coast, call in and see this beautiful building!

My family had lunch here after a hike to the Giant's Causeway. The place was busy with tourists, but service was quick and attentive. The atmosphere was excellent and frankly better than the food, which was good, not great. But it was perfect for us after a long hike and hit the spot. I had seafood chowder, which was good. The highlight was probably the fresh berry scone we took to go. My wife and daughter devoured it, so it must have been good.

Was there either a tour bus day trip. Placed an order for their famous Irish stew and the Steak and Guinness pie. After about 30 minutes of waiting a staff member came and said they ran out of stew and what did we want to replace it with. It had already been a long while so my sister asked for the fish and chips. After another 30 minutes I went to inquire about the order b/c it had been an hour and we wanted to take the long walk down to the cliffs. The lady that appeared to be a manger was coming out with a plate she said it was ours. It wasn't what I thought fish and chips was supposed to be. I asked about table 3 and said it been an hour since we ordered. She was rude and something about yeah fish and chips, I looked at it funny and she said "or I can refund your money". Of course we were hungry and I told her we did need to eat. She put the plate down and returned with another "fish and chips", mind you I ordered the Steak and Guinness pie. At that point I handed her my card and asked for a refund. She brought me cash back. We could not do the long walk down and only went close enough to get good "zoomed in" pics so we didn't miss our bus. Very frustrating! Very poor management, customer service, and the fish that was served was not very good.

Terrible experience. Went to visit the amazing Giants Causeway World heritage Site on sunday 6th august and called into The Nook for our lunch. Service was dreadful staff behind the bar more interested in showing each other videos on their mobile phones while we stood bewildered on how to put in our order for food and drinks. When we finally got our order in the food came out quite quickly though very average food for the price we were charged. During the course of our visit the waiting staff behind the bar where so loud and more interested in playing with their phones and chatting (or should I say shouting to each other) than showing any interest in other customers. I can only imagine there was no manager or owner about on Sunday as I've never seen a restaurant more poorly run. Don't waste your time or money going in here. Terrible service, extortion prices and very average food.

Went to giants causeway and stopped here for something to eat we had soup which was tomato and basil it was lovely.

The Nook was really delicious, we went to the restaurant during our Belfast/Giant's Causeway day trip and it was very good! It can be crowded due to all the tours, but it's a lovely spot to grab some lunch and a pint before you see the Giant's Causeway!
