Vaughan's Anchor Inn
About the organisation
It all started in 1979, when John and Annette Vaughan opened Vaughan’s 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.
Denis’s 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 Lisa’s 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 Vaughan’s Anchor Inn in Liscannor in 2021.
Younger brother, Denis, joins his dad in Lahinch, working across the family’s new businesses, Spooney’s ice-cream parlour on the seafront and front-of-house in their casual new restaurant next door, Vaughan’s 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.
