A Very Nancy’s Christmas

A warm Donegal welcome, and Christmas food made fresh in the Barn. Whether you're joining us for a festive lunch or we’re handling the cooking of the turkey for the Big Day, we've got you sorted.

What makes Christmas so special at Nancy's?

There's something about Christmas in a 19th-century stone barn. The lights are up, the chowder's bubbling away on the stove, and it feels like the half of Inishowen has dropped in for a catch-up and a bit of craic!

For us, Christmas is all about great food, good company and making sure nobody spends the whole of Christmas Eve (and Day) stuck in the kitchen if they don’t want to.
