Restaurant review: Clare eatery offers a meal as comforting as an old country pub

Young chef James Vaughan, third generation in the family business at Vaughan’s Anchor Inn, can cook and assemble flavours well.

Joe McNamee: Just as an aroma travels straight to the brain, evoking memories and associations, an old country pub has a comfort-laden sense of coming home, mixed with a giddy rush of the unknown and how the evening might unfold.
