From Fire-Grill to Table: Behind the Scenes of Our October Specials
There’s something magical about October in Enniskillen—cool air, warm colours, and the kind of food that comforts and connects. At The Firehouse Bar & Grill, October is one of our most creative culinary months, as we showcase seasonal dishes that not only warm the palate but reflect our commitment to local flavour and fire-grilled craftsmanship.
Come behind the scenes and see how we bring our October specials to life—from inspiration and ingredients to sizzling service.
The Inspiration: Local Ingredients, Global Flavours
Every great dish begins with a spark. For our autumn menu, that spark comes from the rich bounty of local produce and the global techniques we love to play with. Chef-curated dishes like the Slow Cooked Beef Brisket with mac & cheese and BBQ jus marry Southern U.S. comfort with Irish quality cuts, while the Wild Atlantic Way Pizza pays tribute to Ireland’s coast with king prawns and capers on a woodfired base.
We speak autumn through sweet maple, smoky char, peppery leaves, and creamy sauces. It’s a season of contrast—bright yet hearty, indulgent yet balanced.

From Kitchen to Grill: Cooking with Fire
Our woodfired Bertha oven is the soul of the Firehouse kitchen. It’s where steaks sear, pizzas bubble, and flatbreads turn golden. The high heat and natural flame allow us to extract deep flavour and aroma that simply can’t be matched.
Our chefs start early, prepping house sauces, spice rubs, and dough from scratch. It’s all about layering flavour. Whether it’s the maple-soy glaze for the pork belly or the slow-simmered peppercorn sauce for our 10oz Sirloin Steak, every step is intentional.
Looking for vegetarian flair? Our Hey Pesto Pizza and Vegan Tofu Kebab aren’t afterthoughts—they’re full-on stars with big autumn attitude.
Served with Soul: Firehouse Hospitality
Behind every plate is a team who cares. Our floor staff don’t just serve food; they share stories, recommend wine pairings, and bring warmth to your table. We believe in Enniskillen-style hospitality—generous, attentive, and never rushed.
Pair your dish with a local cocktail like the Cherry Bakewell, or sip one of our non-alcoholic creations, like the citrusy Strawberry Cooler. Browse our full Drinks Menu here.
October’s Specials Worth Savouring
Among our most popular autumn specials:
- Beef Burnt Ends: tossed in a maple bourbon glaze, topped with panko bacon crumb.
- Pan-Fried Sea Bass: brightened with lemon-dill cream sauce and garlic potatoes.
- Notorious P.I.G Pizza: pork belly, bacon, red onion marmalade—enough said.
