This tour will take you through Cork's famous food and beverage market, the English Market, which has been operating since the 18th century. Guests will have the opportunity to meet and chat with local traders, adding a bit of fun and "craic" to the experience. The tour highlights the very best that Cork has to offer, including pre-booked tastings of award-winning local cheese, mouthwatering seafood fresh from the Atlantic, delectable meat pies, gourmet country sausage, and more, all under the auspices of your local, friendly guide.

Kate was knowledgeable,...

Kate was knowledgeable, very personable, and made the tour one of the highlights of our trip! We've done food tours on other travels but the Cork Market was unlike any other between the people, the setting, and the supreme level of freshness of the food! Seafood market was my personal favorite!

An Absolutely Incredible Food Tour with Kerry!

We did three food tours during our trip to Ireland, and this one was leaps and bounds above the rest! From the moment we met Kerry, she was an absolute breath of fresh air. Her knowledge of Cork’s food scene and history was incredible, but what really set her apart was her ability to weave the two together.

What also stood out was the genuine conne...read more

Best food tour in all Ireland!

Hands down the best tour we have had in all of Ireland!! Kate is a phenomenal guide! So knowledgeable and personable! We enjoyed all the stops and got to try a wide variety of foods. We really enjoyed learning the history of the area while tasting bits of local fare. Definitely come hungry as those tasty bites add up! I do recommend bringing a bottle of water as you are eating more than drinking and may get a bit thirsty. This would be a good tour for families as well as it is not overly st...read more

Hello Sarah, Thank your the wonderful review. We are delighted you enjoyed the tour and all the stops along the way. I am glad you recommended it for families as so many tours are not family friendly. I passed the review on to Kate to brighten up her day. Regards, Frances

The best culinary tour

I can’t recommend this tour enough. We were lucky enough to be guided by the owner of the company Frances. Her passion for high quality food and love for her home of Cork was what made the day so special. This was a wonderful way to see the city and have some great food! Highly recommend the tour, you’ll have plenty of food stops and some Irish coffee and beer!
