The Peddler’s Daughter

went in for a late lunch and there were only 2 other people in the whole place. Nobody at the bar and the other couple was already eating their lunches. My husband and I sat down and the waitress came over after a few minutes and took our drink order and gave us menus. She soon came back with our drinks, we ordered a burger and fish and chips. She left, and we didn’t see her or any food for about 18 – 20 minutes. IN that time we had to ask the bartender to refill my husbands soda. I then saw the waitress finally come out and I asked her why it was so long if we were the only people to make a burger and to cook their famous fish and chips, she said she’d go check. A few minutes later she came out with the food and then saw my husband needed another refill and filed it. The fish was okay, the burger was ok… nothing spectacular I would say about either meal. Then she left again and the bartender was barely there too. We were the only people around as the few workers there just were out back the whole time. So food– ok, service at lunch… horrible…

Nice location, great bar and good food. Our server was amazing. At first I felt she was «pushy» yet her style was to b sure she knew what we wanted, was clear with taking orders etc. Nice portions, great pricing and I’ll be back to celebrate St. Patricks day for sure!

What a cool, Irish pub right in downtown Nashua. Stopped in after a busy day traveling, on a Monday evening, mid-​May and was seated in a corner area that was really cool. Nice beer selection, but I stuck with a traditional Smithwicks draft that was promptly served, cold and fresh. Had the shepherd’s pie that was served in good proportion with a stout almost Guinness like sauce. It was ok. Service was great and the bar is super expansive and the place has an overall fun, Irish/​sports bar vibe too it.

I just moved to Nashua after years spent working and living in England. What a thrill to find a pub so great in my new hometown. The server we had saw lovely. Food was tasty and authentic, the scotch egg we had as an appetizer was the best example I have had. Fish and chips was fresh and well made. The home made ketchup was a wonderful touch. I am proud to have such a great pub as my new local.

Great little Irish pub. Friendly staff and most importantly a good Guinness pour. A good place to have a pint. My wife and I wife will pop in all the time.

Great find! Great space, food and service. Not too loud and great view of sports on TV if that is what you are looking for, otherwise, enjoy your company. Onions rings and FF were perfect and the burger cooked perfectly! Will return when next in the area!

If you want the best Fish and Chips in NH, visit Peddler’s Daughter. Love the way they serve the ketchup and tartar sauce in mason jars. The atmosphere is very casual.

If you want a decent Irish meal or a place to sit and look out at the river from the deck, this is an ideal location in downtown Nashua, The fish and chips and reuben sandwich are the best things on the menu and the beer selection is great. It’s a bit pricey though.
The overwhelming negative is that after 7 p.m. it turns from local eatery to overcrowded, trashy, and ridiculously loud cesspool of Nashua’s not so finest. They cram many people in here with nowhere to even sit. On weekends they charge a cover to get in and people just stand in line down the block to get in. I have no idea what the appeal of this place late night is, but you won’t find me here. This is the poorer of the two Peddlar’s locations, but unless you want to drive to Haverhill, I suggest you spend your time and n=money on one of Nashua’s far superior weekend bar options over this place.

Great place for food and or drinks
Me and my friends had a great time here.
It’s a busy place and I can see why.
Younger croud here and great people
The staff very friendly and attentive never had to wait for a drink

The Peddler’s Daughter is an authentic Irish pub located on Main Street by the riverside. When you enter, it’s unclear where the hostess stand is. As you walk further inward, you’ll hear traditional Irish music playing in the background of the bar area.
For beverages, we got an iced water, an unsweetened iced tea, and two kinds of Guinness — a Blond American Lager and a classic Irish dry stout. I was surprised that the Guinness’s weren’t served in Guinness glasses.
Instead of getting a large entrée, I decided to get a bowl of soup and a salad. I originally ordered the Chicken Noodle Soup, which consisted of grilled chicken, noodles, mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers. I didn’t expect it to be spicy to the point I couldn’t handle it. It was nice that our server was very accommodating and allowed me to switch for Cream of Potato and Leek Soup, which consisted of light seasoning, potato, leeks, onions, celery, chicken stock, whole milk, half and half, butter, and parsley, topped with chopped spring onions. The Cream of Potato and Leek Soup was delicious — rich and creamy but a bit on the heavy side. The Fall Harvest Salad consisted of baby field greens topped with roasted butternut squash, candied walnuts, and dried cranberries lightly tossed in a light maple dressing. I felt like the salad could have more dressing and that the dressing could have had a strong maple flavor.
My mom ordered the Peddler’s Beer Battered Fish & Chips Served Traditional Style in Newspaper. She couldn’t stand the newspaper so after unraveling the fish n’ chips, she set aside the newspaper before digging into the dish. The Peddler’s Beer Battered Fish & Chips consisted of lightly beer battered fresh large cod filet, split into four pieces. For an additional $ 1, We substituted the hand-​cut french fries for thick sweet potato fries. It was served with homemade ketchup and lemon tartar sauce. The homemade ketchup tasted like there was a hint of Lea and Perrins worcestershire sauce. We liked how the fish was crispy and lightly battered.
My father ordered the Cider Braised Chicken Breast, which consisted of tender cut of chicken breast braised in and local apples roasted in Magners Hard Cider, served over whipped sweet potato and butternut squash, and topped with crispy leeks.
My brother ordered the Ginger & Honey Grilled Salmon Filet, which consisted of a tender and smooth fillet of salmon, grilled to perfected and finished with fresh ginger and local honey. It was topped with crispy leeks, roasted sweet potato hash, and sautéed fresh vegetables.
The crispy leeks added a nice fare to both of the dishes!
I’d definitely return to The Peddler’s Daughter in the near future!

The Peddler’s Daughter is a very good Irish-​American restaurant right in the heart of Nashua. It is a true five-​star experience for a moderately priced restaurant, a welcome change from some of the hit-​or-​miss fair so common in New Hampshire.
The restaurant is comfortable. The serving staff is friendly. I have never felt forgotten by my server, and on one occasion I even asked for (and received) one of the custom pint glasses from a kind waitress. The restaurant is in an older building on the Nashua River, so the feel is retro. Seating is not overly crowded, nor is it overly cool or hot, and even the lighting is intimate without being so low it is difficult to read the menu.
The food is excellent. I have ordered several dishes over the many visits, and they have all been very good. My girlfriend always orders the fish and chips, it is consistently great. It comes wrapped in unused copies of the local Nashua Telegraph newspaper, so it arrives hot and flaky, and the breading is the perfect texture and amount; it is never soggy. The restaurant features home made chunky catsup that is both flavorful and a refreshing change from the norm. The beer on tap is authentic, cool basement temperature (if you will), about 50 °F, not too cold nor tepid room temperature.
The neighborhood is open and nice, a great place for a night out. parking on the street is optional, but there are off-​street parking options a short walk away.
I have not had the opportunity to see live music at the Peddler’s Daughter, but I have heard it is an excellent music venue, as well.

Great local pub, Great selection of beers on tap and the food is very good. They have a special home made ketchup that is amazing as well as home made tartar sauce to go with their delicious fish and chips.

This is one of my favorite bars in Nashua. I usually just go for drinks, although I’ve eaten here a few times and it’s been decent. They have live music some nights which is always fun. The bouncers and bartenders are all really cool. Definitely love this place!

The Sriracha and honey wings are fantastic. Lots of great entrees and sandwiches, all well priced.
We ate at the bar and the staff was terrific and friendly, noticed how they greeted regulars by name. Nice touch.
Definitely becoming a new favorite.

My wife & I went stopped by on Saturday before the big dinner rush, wife had the Irish Cuban sandwich w/​fries & I had the fish & chips wrapped in newspaper. Both GREAT meals I only wish I took a photo to post them :)

Stopped in for a bite this afternoon. Burgers and wings were excellent. Sauce in the wings was maple Sriracha. Perfect balance of heat and sweet. The burgers were seasoned very well and were cooked exactly how we ordered them. Loved the Peddler’s burger and the special, which featured and egg and tots. Very tasty!
Irish pub atmosphere feels very authentic with nice music and great décor. The scenery isn’t bad either! Right on the river! Thanks to the staff for a nice first visit for some out-​of-​towners!

Service was ok and the burger was yummy. I’m not a huge fan of the well toasted bun, but the ingredients were fresh and that’s all I wanted to see and taste. Had a side salad that was perfect in every way, especially when I asked for extra tomatoes, onions and carrots, and was not charged extra. Yes, I’m that person who complains when things aren’t done right the first time lol. I expect everything to be perfect, when I’m spending good money out and about. Mashed Potatoes ROCKED!!! No gravy, but I’m sure I could have gotten it if I so pleased. Atmosphere was a typical sunday pre football, sunday brunch and lunch, and a few parties were setting up as well near me in the back of the room by the main stage. I would definitely come back next time I’m in town.
All the best,

I got a bowl of the potato and leek soup and the cottage pie. The soup was out of this world! The cottage pie was amazing too!
The service was great. I loved the Irish pub décor.

If you want a delicious, fresh, home made comfort meal, you have to try this place out! We had the leek and potato soup, chicken pot pie and the corned beef meal and everything was fantastic. Love the atmosphere and vibe too!

Before yesterday, I had only visited this place for the nightlife. Now, I’ve seen both sides of The Peddler’s Daughter.
DAYTIME, LUNCH
It was quiet when we got here around 2 on a Saturday. They seated us immediately and the staff was very friendly. As you might imagine, coming at 2pm is very different from 10pm on a Saturday. The food was great, the staff was attentive, and I loved the beers. The prices aren’t bad, check out my picture of the beer list.
NIGHT TIME
There was a cover to get in, I think $ 5/​pp. Nothing too crazy. They had a good band playing. I wouldn’t call this a place for dancing, although a few people were gettin’ funky. It was fairly crowded, and took us a little time to get drinks, but nothing out of the ordinary. The staff was great. The crowd seemed a little young — college aged kids — but that might have been because we went during the school year. I’ll be back here for sure.
Great place to check out. I highly suggest it.
