Kelly’s Butchers launches new Kelly’s Breakfast Pack
Not long after winning the the Georgina Campbell Irish Breakfast Awards in the Meat Category, Kelly’s Butchers has launched its All Day Breakfast Pack aimed at smaller households. Containing two mini Kelly’s Puddings (one black and one white) and six Kelly’s Breakfast Pork Sausages, it’s “breakfast in a box”. The handy new pack was launched by Georgina Campbell, food writer and President of the Irish Food Writers Guild. Kelly’s is a family business of 80 years, currently run by Sean Kelly, his brother Seamus and two sons Cormac and Kenneth. Daughter Shauna runs Kelly’s Kitchen Café next door, which includes the famous Kelly’s breakfast.

Míl Gin was created by the Pearse Lyons Distillery, based in the refurbished St. James Church in Dublin’s Liberties, and was inspired by the historic links between this site and the Camino de Santiago in North-West Spain.
