Our butcher Tom shared a stage with the Happy Pears at the weekend. Of course Tom stole the show and the 2 pears were so impressed with Tom they called to see him at work before they left for Wicklow.

We will forgive them for cooking Tom a veggie dish.

Try it and see why it is consistently top of the ratings. Click here to go to the online shop.

These are Roz’s comments on our pudding.

“Bacon trim, spices, seasoning, rusk, blood, oatmeal, water, onion and pearl barley are used well here to make a creamy, smooth style of pudding which I liked more than some tasters who found it a bit too dense.

The understated spices and subtle flavour were enjoyed by all tasters. Delicious spread on buttered toast like a paté. SuperValu and independents.”
