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..

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.

Lunch-time treat with coffee

Today you can find the older traditional stalls, Vegetable, Butchers, Fruit, Fishmongers along side Cheese, Pasta, Health, Coffee, Sandwich, Oriental stalls but to name a few. Produce that would have only been seen on holidays on far off exotic places are now readly available in the market every day.

Overlooking the fountain from Farm-Gate

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.

Heavens Cakes beautiful with coffee

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.
Trading now in the market for a number of years they have started to give to the locals what used to be seen in cookery books or on the television.

Fruit Boost

Most people know we should be eating more fruit and vegetables, at least five portions per day, but in a fast paced world full of processed acidic food and drin, this can be a real challenge......

Coffee Central
