Great Taste Awards 2011 Supreme Champion

This is McCartney’s biggest win to date defeating close to 7500 fine food entries!

We are truly delighted to have achieved such a prestigious and well respected reward and would like to thank our Staff for their continued hard work and all our Customers for their support.

We have been making our real hand made corned beef since 2007, the idea coming from an old recipe book belonging to George's Grandfather. Originally it was sold alongside a tinned variety that you would find on sale in most delis, but we soon had to stop selling the bought in one as our customers wouldn't go back to eating it after tasting ours! This exceptional product has a fantastic flavour and just the right balance of salt and has already gained quite a following by word of mouth alone.

Quote - John & Sally McKenna - Bridgestone Irish Food Guide 2007 

There is only so much you can invent so sometimes you have to go back in time to find new foods said George McCartney about the new range of cuts and cures whos inspiration has been taken from an old book belonging to George’s Grand Father.

Well if going back in time means making real corned beef which is as glorious as McCartney’s version the sooner we all go back to go forward the better. This corned beef is a star!
