There’s something magical that happens when creativity meets open flame.

This season, we invite you behind the scenes to meet the culinary team crafting the dishes that keep our guests coming back for more.

Whether you’re a local foodie or visiting Fermanagh on a weekend escape, The Firehouse isn’t just another stop – it’s a dining experience built on heart, heat, and hospitality.

Seasonal Inspiration from the Heart of Enniskillen

Each season at The Firehouse brings with it a new mood, a new rhythm, and a new menu to match. As the days turn crisp and cosy, our chefs draw on autumn and winter’s rich, earthy tones to create dishes that comfort and excite.

The Winter Menu, curated with warming mains and bold flavours, celebrates everything from succulent Slow Cooked Beef Brisket with creamy mac & cheese to the Mediterranean zest of our Garlic Flatbread Chicken Kebab. Our chefs source ingredients with care, infusing each plate with locally inspired flair and seasonal produce.

Meet the Talent Behind the Heat

At the heart of The Firehouse is our dedicated kitchen team, a blend of Enniskillen locals and global talent. Our Head Chef leads with passion, bringing years of culinary expertise from Ireland and beyond. But in true Firehouse fashion, the kitchen thrives on collaboration – from sous chefs to prep hands, everyone has a voice in creating our standout dishes.

Seasonal specials are often born from casual lunchtime brainstorms or experiments after service. One recent addition? The Boatyard Bakewell cocktail, a creative twist blending Boatyard Sloe Gin with citrus and almond notes, inspired by the Fermanagh landscape and created in partnership with local distillers.

From Flame to Fork: Signature Dishes You Need to Try

There’s a reason locals call our Firehouse Wings the best in town. Glazed with a sriracha-maple mix, sesame seeds and garlic aioli, they capture the spirit of our kitchen: sweet, spicy, and undeniably bold.

Other must-tries include:

  • Wild Atlantic Way Pizza – With King Prawns, capers, and garlic aioli, this wood-fired beauty is a nod to Ireland’s coastal bounty.
  • Sirloin Steak with Peppercorn Sauce – Flame-grilled to perfection, served with rustic fries and crispy onions.
  • Halloumi Burger – A vegetarian favourite featuring red pepper hummus and a beetroot bun, proving plant-based can still be indulgent.

Pair these with handcrafted drinks from our Drinks Menu, featuring Boatyard Gin cocktails, international wines, and mocktails like the Raspberry N’Amaretto Sour.

Why Local Matters This Season

In every dish and cocktail, there’s a thread that ties back to the community. Our chefs work closely with local butchers, growers, and distillers, making sure every ingredient tells a story. This commitment supports Enniskillen’s economy and gives our menu an unmistakably local soul.

As noted on Discover Northern Ireland, Fermanagh is a treasure trove of food experiences. At The Firehouse, we’re proud to be a culinary highlight for visitors and locals alike.
