Game Day Grub: Where to Watch and What to Eat This Sports Season at The Crowes Nest
When the match is on, there’s no better place to be than a buzzing pub with your mates, a pint in hand, and something tasty on the table. At The Crowes Nest in Enniskillen, we take game day seriously. With a welcoming atmosphere, great screens, and a menu packed with crowd-pleasing pub food, we make sure you’re well-fed and right in the middle of the action.
Whether you’re into football, rugby, GAA or a bit of everything, here’s your guide to where to watch and what to eat this sports season.
Match-Ready Atmosphere
There’s something about a game watched in a proper pub that just hits different. The cheer of the crowd, the hum of friendly rivalry, and the satisfying clink of glasses raised to celebrate (or commiserate) together. At The Crowes Nest, we bring the matches to life on screen with a front-row feeling no matter where you sit.
Our setup makes it easy to enjoy the match from the comfort of your table. No jostling, no missing key moments at the bar — just good views, good food, and good company.
Starters to Kick Things Off
Game day food should be sharable, satisfying and quick to land on the table. Our Salt & Chilli Squid, Breaded Garlic Mushrooms, or Spicy Chicken Wings are just the ticket. They pair perfectly with a pint and get the night rolling in style.
Looking for a vegetarian option? The Goat’s Cheese Tartlet with onion marmalade is full of flavour and easy to share. Or keep it classic with Soup of the Day and fresh homemade bread to warm you up before kickoff.
Mains for Hungry Fans
When the match gets tense, you need food that hits the spot. Our Steak & Stout Pie with mash and peas is a top pick for hearty appetites. The O’Doherty’s Bangers & Mash is another classic that delivers comfort and flavour in every bite.
For something with crunch, go for the Southern Fried Chicken Goujons or Fresh Battered Cod & Chips — both served with sides that make them proper pub favourites.
If you want bold flavours, the Bookmaker Sandwich stacked with steak and peppered sauce is a match-day must. Or spice things up with the Cajun Shrimp & Chorizo Alfredo — full-on flavour that keeps your energy up all game long.
Snacks, Sides & Sharers
Want to keep it casual? Our sides are ideal for picking at between plays. Grab Chunky Chips, Garlic Chips, or Sweet Potato Fries for the table. Add a bowl of Onion Rings and you’re set.
Planning to share? A couple of starters and sides across the table keeps everyone fed and focused without missing a minute of the match.
Drinks to Celebrate Every Goal
From cold pints to smooth whiskeys, The Crowes Nest bar is fully stocked for your match night. Our rotating taps, crowd favourites, and Irish pours (like a neat Jameson Black Barrel or Cooper’s Croze) offer plenty of ways to raise a glass to your team.
Make a Night of It
Game day at The Crowes Nest isn’t just about watching sport — it’s about making memories. The laughs, the cheers, the halftime chats and post-match debriefs. It’s the food, the drink, the mates around you, and the stories you leave with.
