Vaughanās Anchor Inn
Main Street, Liscannor
Co Clare, V95 FN5R
It all started in 1979, when John and Annette Vaughan opened Vaughanās Anchor Inn in Liscannor, a traditional bar and restaurant serving great Irish food.
Son Denis learnt his craft in the kitchen, putting the Anchor Inn on the map as a seafood destination serving the freshest fish and shellfish that was landed daily in Liscannor harbour.
Denisās wife, Lisa, joined the business, looking after everything from the bookings to the front-of-house service. Guests today can still meet Annette popping in on occasion too.
Denis and Lisaās eldest sons, James and Denis Jr, are the third generation to join the family business. Trained as a chef, James took over the kitchens in Vaughanās Anchor Inn in Liscannor in 2021.
Younger brother, Denis, joins his dad in Lahinch, working across the family’s new businesses, Spooneyās ice-cream parlour on the seafront and front-of-house in their casual new restaurant next door, Vaughanās on the Prom.
A true Clare family, the Vaughans are synonymous with the very best of Irish hospitality and enjoy nothing more than sharing their love of really great Irish food with everyone who comes their way.

We donāt just talk about sustainability. We try extra hard to get things right at our three locations. For more than 15 years, weāve used solar panels at Vaughanās Anchor Inn in Liscannor to heat our hot water.Ā
Every ounce of our take-away packaging is compostable, from our ice-cream tubs to our fish and chips packaging and coffee cups. We make everything from scratch in our kitchens, eliminating wasteful packaging and plastics and working in tune with the seasons.
Most of our menu is sourced from within County Clare, cutting down on needless food miles. We serve coffee from Sunday Collab, who donate 1% of all profits to protecting the oceans.

At Spooneyās ice-cream parlour in Lahinch, we make our own cow-to-cone ice-cream every single day. Whyās it called cow-to-cone? Because we collect fresh milk daily from Laceyās Farm in Liscannor and pasteurise it ourselves, before churning it into insanely delicious ice-cream.
Of course we donāt just serve cones: thereās wafer baskets, sorbets and milkshakes too and our incredible Super Sundaes.
Spooneyās also serves deliciously fresh fish and chips, made with locally caught fish that we fillet and batter in-house. Our chips are fresh too, cut from potatoes grown 40 kilometres away.
Enjoy a specialty coffee at Spooneyās too, made with Sunday Collab single origin coffee, our own milk, and perhaps freshly made churros or doughnuts on the side.
Open daily from 10am – 7pm.
