Old Barn Steakhouse
It hasn’t been around for very long, but it’s already firmly established as a must-visit venue in Armagh. The Old Barn is all about good, honest, traditional food in relaxing and comfortable surroundings. Everything’s locally sourced, including that all important meat, so you can be sure you’re eating the highest quality ingredients.
The chef owner, James Nicholson is a multi-award winning chef and a local man. Those gongs include the World Culinary Olympics, Seafood Chef of the Year and Ulster Tatler Chef of the Year 2012. He’s worked with Neven Maguire, Ainsley Harriot and Paul Rankin among others, now he’s out on his own.
His menus may focus on prime steaks, but the seafood, chicken and veggie options are yummy too. We were particularly impressed by the pan-fried lamb’s liver with smoked bacon, champ, onions and gravy. Offally good. And did we mention the in-house desserts? Banoffee, profiteroles, pavlova…oh my! Try the Sunday carvery or check out the early bird menu from Tuesday to Sunday 5-7pm. You’ll be glad you did.
