Inspired by the iconic New York’s Golden Diner, we’ve crafted our own version of this beloved classic, celebrating the best of Irish ingredients. We’re thrilled to introduce Nancy Hand’s Tuna Melt Special, featuring Shines Wild Irish Tuna and the famous Keogh's crisps.
This tuna melt is as much about texture as it is about tuna. Two slices of buttery bread layered with melted Dubliner cheddar cheese, tuna salad and a generous handful of salt-and-vinegar potato chips. Each bite offers a satisfying crunch, both as you press the sandwich together and as you savour it. The tuna salad is equally unforgettable, evoking the tangy flavors of a Big Mac with its mayo-based sauce laced with minced pickles, mustard, vinegar, and a touch of Tabasco. This melt combines the best of contrasts—hot and cold, buttery and tangy, crispy and creamy—making it a standout twist on a classic.
Why It’s Delicious: Our take on the Tuna Melt is all about bringing rich flavours and textures together. We start with Shine’s Tuna, responsibly sourced and wild-caught off the Irish coast, for a rich, savoury taste. It's mixed with a creamy, tangy dressing, fresh herbs, and finely diced onions for that perfect balance.
But what makes our Tuna Melt truly unique? Keogh’s crisps, adding an irresistible crunch you won’t find anywhere else. Served on thickly sliced, buttered bread and grilled until perfectly golden and gooey, this sandwich is the ultimate comfort food with a gourmet twist. It’s our tribute to a classic with an Irish heart!
Perfect Pairings: Enjoy it with a cold Irish beer, or keep things traditional with a cup of tea. Whatever your choice, this Tuna Melt will leave you coming back for more. Available for a limited time at Nancy Hand’s Pub.
