An Autumn Reset at Manning's

Summer has drawn to a close, our team is back to school and college, and it's time for our Autumn reset here in Ballylickey.

Our updated opening hours:

Open Thursday to Sunday

Thursday, Friday & Saturday
Café 10am – 3pm | Shop 10am – 5pm

Sunday
Café & Shop 10am – 3pm

We may have scaled back our hours, but there's still plenty to discover. Our fridges and freezers remain stocked with heat-at-home meals, and our shelves are brimming with new and seasonal stock arriving daily.

This Autumn brings new sandwich offerings, meal combo deals and fresh bakes in the café, plus a lovely range of new autumnal wines in the shop to see you into the darker evenings.

There are no shortcuts when it comes to a good croqueta.

Each one is made from scratch in our kitchen, rolled by hand and fried to order, with the filling changing as the seasons do.

This week it’s Spinach & Siobhannig Goats Cheese – creamy, tangy and wrapped in a crisp golden crumb.

Join us for tapas from 5.30pm, Thursday to Saturday.

To book a table, give us a call or send us a message.

Farmhouse Cheese Heroes!

While we missed the Cais AGM in Durrus last week we got a little bonus! Some of the incredible cheesemakers we don't get to see very often popped into the Emporium to personally deliver their fantastic cheeses.

Not only did we get a great catch up, our cheese fridge if fully restocked with authentic, farmhouse goodness.

Support real food and local hands. Drop in this week to pick up some of the finest Irish cheese!
