The Nook in Moyle

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.

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!

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!

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

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!

Vy, Anh, Duck were both lovely waitresses and looked after us all very well! Would definitely recommend coming here!

A very overpriced mediocre restaurant with sloppy service. We ordered 3 beef pies and a smoked salmon sandwich and a Guinness which cost us $100. We got our beef pies (a lot of puff pastry and not a lot of beef) and were done eating...

Wonderful and Courteous Service Best Scones we ever tasted! Everything we ordered was grand! Made the trip to the Giant Causeways

Super schneller Service, freundliche Bedienung leckeres Essen. Tip: Erst einen Platz sichern, Tischnummer merken, erst dann zu Theke und bestellen....

We did a long hike on the Giant's Causeway trail Saturday, May 20, 2023, then returned to the visitor's center. We wanted a light lunch and coffee, but the cafe there had a super long line. So we were walking back to the car in...

Servizio lentissimo! Cibo nella norma.

Food was ok. Lots of foot traffic here from visitors to Giants Causeway. We hopped in starving and got food fairly quick. Panini was ok, not stellar but good. Fish and chips was also just ok, not as good as we’d had in the area....

Beautiful setting but dreadful toilets. Three ladies toilets, one wasn’t working, second had no seat. When you are having so many tourists and visitors this isn’t acceptable. Drinks and food are not cheap at all so facilities should be in good condition. Extremely disappointing visit....

Super busy on a lovely summer afternoon, but the food was tasty and the service was excellent. Prices are a bit steep, but not unexpected in such a touristy area. If you're visiting the Giant's Causeway, you should check this place out. The Irish stew was spectacular by the way.

Fantastic Irish Stew! And the staff are amazing, especially the lovely, smiley Fiona! Busy little place, well worth the visit.

Called in today after our walk. Had a few drinks outside enjoying the view. Always a friendly greeting from the staff. Great coffee and the Guinness is great!

Overpriced, got our order wrong and didn’t even have cutlery. Comical experience but not worth a visit.

Nice place for a bite to eat or a pint located right outside Giant's Causeway. Friendly staff and reasonably priced tasty food.

This place looks so quaint. But be warned, it has a monopoly on the area. There is a likelihood you will not be acknowledged at the bar. Forget it, sit on the bench outside and enjoy the wonderful views and save your money for later....

This place isn't bad but could be so much better. Noone knows where to queue and service is slow and disorganised. We just dropped in for a drink after visiting Giant's Causeway while waiting for a bus. I left feeling I had been continually surrounded by nervous and confused customers. Those in the queue were all in the way and generally agitated. There was limited outdoor seating and the been garden was closed.

I just ate the best fish and chips ever! The batter was light and delicate and I even tried mushy peas and really enjoyed them

£6 for a pint of Bier moretti but cracked toilet seats in the gents. Lovely pub otherwise but some clear issues going on.

We went out for lunch during our trip to Northern Ireland and the food was delicious. After food we went to ask for bottle of water and the guy at the counter told us to buy from other restaurant since they don’t sell plastic bottle,...

Short changed on drink measures. Picture attached is how a 'pint' of coke came. When asked if that was a pint, they said yes.

Chouette endroit. Très bon accueil et très bon déjeuner.. même si l'addition est un peu élevée je conseille quand même...

The worst customer service ever. The staff were rude and unprofessional . Completely disorganised to order food or drink. When we complained politely after waiting ages for a drink we were told we know were the door is if we didn’t like how they operate....

Great little pub adjacent to Giant’s Causeway. The owner spent 15 minutes entertaining us with stories.. Recommend

Convenient place to meet up or re-energise after hillwalking the Causeway trails. Very friendly staff and fast service. But, usually crowded and sometimes a bit of a que at the bar. But, be warned that if you’re looking for supper after hours, the pub and all the craic closes at 5pm sharp, even at the weekends. Aye, probably the ONLY pub in the world that closes every Friday and Saturday night at 5pm. No takeaway and no deliveries. However, the food is good, the staff is friendly, and the service is fast.

I think the quality of the food has gone downhill (while prices have gone up). We had 2 kids meals, 2 adults meals and 2 soft drinks, it was over £60. The burger was over-cooked and dry, the house salad was almost entirely frisée leaves with a small amount of dressing. The chowder was ok but needed salt. The childrens sausages and chips were fine. I used to love this place but the price and the quality of the food would put me off going back.

After visiting the Giant's Causeway, we stopped for lunch here and thought the food was decently cooked, decently priced, and served quickly. It used to be a schoolhouse many years ago, and on the side you will see a blue plaque commemorating one of its...

For a place with heavy foot traffic, this pub is very clean and well-maintained. The earlier you go the better as it gets busy. The raspberry white chocolate scone is the best scone I have ever had and a must try.

The very definition of a tourist trap - very overpriced without the quality to go with it. Would avoid and head into a nearby town to get something better

Food was good. Panicked we would be late for our bus but made it in time! Small place that gets packed ....but they really get the meals out!

Quel bel endroit!!! Avec un feu de foyer en prime! La soupe du jour était excellente : goût et portion! Parfait pour se réchauffer et se ravitailler après une marche sur la côte!

Enjoyed some delicious lamb stew after an hour waking the Giants Causeway. Nice little spot, recommend it for a bite if you’re touring the area.

After a long Causeway walk we popped into The Nook for a coffee, it was packed. We managed to get a couple of seats on a bench with another couple and were lucky as so many people were unable to find seats and left. Our...

We stopped here for lunch before going to the Giants Causeway. It was busy as four tour buses had just pulled in and they still got our food out fairly quick. I ordered the Fish & Chips, it was perfectly flaky and really good.

The food looked great but was quite bland. Had the chicken and ciabatta for lunch. The toilets were average, with the only working toilet having a broken toilet seat. The coffee was nice though.

We’ve been all across Ireland and this place has by far the best white chocolate raspberry scone we have ever tasted!!! We ordered fish and chips and a rump steak sandwich. All was mouth watering delicious and scrumptious. The staff and owner were extremely nice and helpful. And let’s not overstate the view ! Awesome place!

I visited Dec 29th on an extremely cold, windy, wet day. It was extremely busy and end of the day. Despite the huge crowds I was able to order (in a very reasonable time) and enjoy a delicious meal of Irish stew and a Irish...

Quick service and a solice from the cold

Espaço aconchegante e atendimento muito bom.

this place is incredibly overpriced and extremely bad value i paid nearly 18 pounds for a seafood chowder which was tasteless and simply full of cubed potatoes to bulk it up with very little seafood the staff are also rude and unhelpful

We both had the pan fried salmon and it was delicious. So flaky, buttery! I also tried the soup which was butternut squash ahhhmazing. Staff were friendly and attentive. Sooo yummy! 10/10

Visited here after walking down to the giants causeway on a very rainy & windy day; pleasant environment & welcoming staff & the most delicious bowl of seafood chowder, that hit the spot just right given the weather. Very efficient and friendly services

Food was amazing but slightly over priced! Service at the bar took ages but food came out really fast once ordered! Would definitely visit again!

We enjoyed a simple sandwich lunch. Asked for it to takeaway and very obliging. Excellent and good value for money

The apple crumble and custard was delicious. The apples used are from the owner‘s garden. Absolutely amazing!

Ate here for a quick lunch before heading down the hill to the Giant's Causeway. Luckily, we got in line early because it got very busy very quickly. It felt a bit disorganized with one line for drinks only and one line to order food....

Nice place after the visit at the Giant’s Causeway, close to the visitor centre and right in front of the bus stop (no. 402 “Rambler” from/to Coleraine train station). They also had vegetarian options in the menu.

The food is nice, however it does not warrant the prices charged, with a charge of 11.80 (UK Pounds) for a glass of Tonic & Soda. The staff where slow, unfriendly and lacking any idea of how to interact with customers. No warm welcome at...

The Nook è perfetto per un boccone veloce prima o dopo la visita alla Giant's Causeway lasciando anche la macchina...

After walking the causeway in some light rain the food at this restaurant hit the spot. It’s really busy as it is the first local place to eat near a tourist spot but the food hit so well. You have to try the garlic potatoes and the open salmon sandwich. The place also has history and is cozy!

"The Nook" is alright if you're looking for something not to fancy. You have to go up to the service lady at the cashier and order/pay what you want right there. They will ask for your table number and then bring your stuff out. The...

Lunch on a tour and the food was good. There was a long line to order food, but worth it. Had the chicken sandwich and fries.

While we just had coffee and tea, it took about 30 minutes to get, our tables (full of previous food and drinks) were not cleaned, and the place was packed full. Finally, the espresso coffee I got was super hot, and full of water - akin to the sort of coffee you get in American gas stations.

Had a cappuccino after visiting the Giants Causeway. I was charged £4.30 for it!! Having been charged an extortionate price, only leads me to think that this is none other than a tourist trap! I love the character of the beer garden and the view...

We called in for a coffee, scone and a beer. The staff were lovely, the service was good and the scone and coffee were excellent. Despite being busy we were given a table quickly and everything arrived promptly.

Food is at best OK but hugely overpriced for what it is. £6.50 for a bowl of chips. Got bowl of garlic potato slices as well which had literally a puddle about 1cm deep of oil/butter in the bottom not very nice. Its basically under...

מתאים לשתות בירה ולשבת בחוץ. מאוד לא נקי, עד שהכל נדבק לשולחן. חכינו שמישהו יבוא לנקות ולקחת הזמנה....בסוף לא נשארנו

El servicio fue muy rápido en cuanto me tomaron nota 2 minutos después tenía el plato en la mesa, la...

Wir waren mit unserem Camper mangels Einlass auf diversen Parkplätze "gestrandet" und haben dann auf dem Pub Parkplatz gestanden und wie es sich für Touristen gehört 😃 Irish Stew mit einem Guinness genossen. Angenehme Atmosphäre, wirklich nette Bedienung und gutes Essen.

Best Cherry Scone I’ve ever had. Great little restaurant! Great service!

Nous y sommes arrêté pour pouvoir manger avant la chaussée des géants. La nourriture est simple, bonne et la bière...

Visited The Giant's Causeway and thought we would stop for lunch. Very clean and welcoming. We went for a soup and sandwich. Prices the norm. Soup was great as was the sandwich.

Great place to grab a bite after hiking the Giant’s Causeway. We had steak and Guinness pie and fish pie. Both were very tasty.

Grim!!! Staff didn’t even acknowledge us even after standing at the bar for 10 minutes!! Coffee £3:95 and a scone £4:25!!! Overpriced, poor/no service and below average produce (tray bakes from packets) Don’t waste your money or time!!!

Tiny restaurant. Crowded necause of our tour bus... Food was fresh and yummy

Excellent welcome and looked after well by Fiona and team. Third visit in a week and we will be back again!

Visited here looking for a quick bite to eat and a drink after walking through Giants Causeway. We had 45 minutes until our coach departed, so were somewhat pushed for time. The place is a typical tourist trap, which somehow thinks that charging £6.50 for a portion of chips can be justified. Although there is a bar, you cannot order at it, and have to order in front of and at the end of the bar with a member of staff standing by the till. Even if only purchasing drinks, you have to give a table number and the staff will bring it over to you once poured! It was like being back in the days of pandemic restrictions! Despite opening at 11am, the kitchen does not open until 12 (midday). You are not allowed to even order food until then as their system will not let you. Scones, crisps or any other snacks are unavailable until the kitchen is open! We found this somewhat perplexing, especially as there were a number of other customers eating within the venue prior to midday! Visit the cafe in the National Trust centre, or even better bring a packed lunch!

I recommend the walk from Portballintrae to the Giant's Causeway. My wife and I have done this many times and always stop at the Nook for a drink and to watch the tourists. We did this recently on Bank Holiday Monday and were saddened by...

£6.50 for a small portion of chips. 1 person serving food & drink with a queue going out the door because its raining. I appreciate being busy, but helping customers in, and having more than 1 person serving is not a difficult concept. And again...

Food is really good and is conveniently located at the entrance of the Giants causeway. If you are with a tour group on a schedule allow plenty of time for eating as the service is a bit slow and could cause you to be late...

Sometimes it can be a little crowded. Fast service!

Very expensive my steak ksandwich was absolutely freezing my chips were hot we had to sit ourselves and go up and order ourselves for the price youd think they would come take your order chips were nice definitely not worth the money spent

Lunch was delicious. I had scampi which was freshly made when ordered. My son had the chowder. Service with a smile. The staff are lovely especially Jake behind the bar. He's a gem.

Such a gem Right beside the Giants Causeway fantastic menu catering for all tastes only stopping for a drink or a coffee from their great range you will not be disappointed staff very friendly highly recommended

Had a quick drink here whilst waiting for my transport back to Belfast after visiting the giant’s causeway It was a busy day and there wasn’t much order and it was a bit of a free for all to get a drink. There was seating...

We highly enjoyed the food. It’s the perfect and only place after Giants causeway. I had the open face salmon sandwich and the hubby had the open face prawn sandwich. They were delicious !!! Basically it was a salad with bread and the seafood of...

Fab pub, perfect location, friendly staff.

Went there after a long walk along the Giants Causeway. Quaint little place, maybe a former church . Ordered food and drinks, service was a little slow but very pleasant ladies working there. We had the steal and guinness pie and the leek and potato...

Try and find a door in, very expensive

A day out exploring the north coast, needing a wee bite to eat we stopped in here. I ordered the Guinness pie while my GF ordered the soup. Just what we needed, tasty food and fast service. The staff were all so pleasant. Would recommend!

Went here based on a suggestion from one of the guides at Giant’s Causeway. Really glad we did. Food was really tasty and hot, just what was needed on a super cold day! Had the seafood chowder and the Irish stew, both served with wheaten...
