Cork English Market

It is one of the oldest of its kind. Trading as a market since 1788, it predates most of the other markets like it. Barcelona\'s famous Boqueria market did not start until 80 years after it first started to serve the people of Cork. It has survived the Famine, Revolutions, Wars, Fire and Economic decline..

Produce that would have only been seen on holidays on far off exotic places are now readly available in the market every day.

A lot of things taste better in Ireland: the Guinness, the farmhouse cheese, the fried pork, the dirty spuds. Since some of us aren\'t ready to ditch the St. Patrick\'s-ian mindset, this has to be one of the Emerald Isle\'s best culinary destinations: The English Market in Cork City, an indoor covered market hall and Ireland\'s answer to the lively, delicious Turkish bazaars. It\'s been around since 1786.

Farmhouse Cheese\'s available in the market

On the Pigs Back in the English Market offers excellent cheese and charcuterie from both home and abroad. Whether its for the home table or a restaurant, they can cater for all your needs. The staff are friendly, professional and most important know about all the products they sell.

Heavens Cakes has got the right idea when it comes to cakes & savoury tarts.
Just looking at these beautiful tasty treats may put on a few calories, but when you taste them its well worth it.

General Info

Omega-3 fatty acids have a well-earned reputation as one of the most important nutrients in the modern diet. There are three major types of omega-3 fatty acids that are ingested in foods and used by the body: alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Once eaten, the body converts ALA to EPA and DHA, the two types of omega-3 fatty acids more readily used by the body........

Ashley ONeil

Ashley O'Neil's family has been trading in The English Market since 1929 and must be doing something right with their meat as they are still around and serving both local Restaurants and people from Cork.

The Quality of meat is like most places in the market that they offer a good range of quality locally sourced produce to suit all needs and the range often on display is amazing to say the least.
All the beef sold at his counter is either Hereford or Angus, the lamb and mutton is local with lamb being very popular among all. They also supply bacon, sausages, black & white pudding. Chicken is sold in a variety of ways from whole ready for the oven to breast meat ready for a stir-fry. The eggs are fresh and its been known to get the odd double yolked egg.
The food is very reasonably priced and comes highly rated.
