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..

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.

Feeding You and Your Baby Right From the Start

Most of us know that eating a healthy, balanced diet will help to keep us fit and healthy and prevent disease in later life, but few of us think seriously about our food until we start to plan a pregnancy. That is when we realise that what we eat will affect not just our health but also the health of the baby.

Roughty Fruit King

The Roughty Fruit King has been trading in the market for over 40 years now and as you can see he is still trading.
The products being sold is like a grocers jumble sale with a little of everything being sold that you could use around the kitchen.

His range of products are cheap and just in date, if you are looking for cleaning products that would normally be much more expensive in your local super market. A large selection of canned products are available, ranging from tinned beans to tinned fruit.

The selection of fruit & Veg is as you see.
