MENUS

OUR HISTORY

The Railway Tavern Firebox Grill is stationed in the former refreshment rooms at Fahan Station on the Derry to Buncrana line, run by the Londonderry & Lough Swilly Railway Company (L&LSR).

The restaurant and bar are adorned with rare railway artefacts, vintage train memorabilia, alongside the resounding echoes of so many past visitors. Serving up a slice of history: one plate at a time!

OPEN FIRE GRILL

Our cosy, traditional interior has retained much of its original charm and is perfect for intimate gatherings, a quiet pint or a meal for all the family, young and old.

At the centre of the restaurant is a dramatic open fire grill housed in a steam engine firebox, where patrons get to watch the chef cook their steak or burger over flame, adding to the anticipation of the meal!

REVIEWS

What a fab place to dine in. Not only is the food excellent but the surroundings are a homage to the old Lough Swilly line. We were there on a Sunday night and there was a trad session going on which for us tourists was bang on. The place has a real vibe about it and our meals were delicious. Would definitely go back.

Railway tavern knows how to cook their steak! All I can say is perfect medium rare ribeye steak . I commend the steak chef! All appetizers and desserts were delicious too! Scallops, chili beef nachos, ciabatta cheesy bread and spicy wings. Yummy!

Excellent. Steaks and the staff were of the highest possible standard. Just wish it was nearer home, if so would be visiting very often! Found it through internet search when staying near Derry for the week and went 3 times over our 7 nights.
