Overlooking the fountain from Farm-Gate

A lot of things taste better in Ireland: the Guinness, the farmhouse cheese, the fried pork, the dirty spuds. 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.

The Real Olive Company

In the Grand Parade market the range of olives and the produce that they are selling includes chillies, feta cheese, pickles, sun-dried tomatoes, vine leaves, olive oil and dried fruits.

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..

Farmhouse Cheese\'s available in the market

On the Pigs Back in the English Market offers excellent cheese and charcuterie from both home and abroad. Whether its for the home table or a restaurant, they can cater for all your needs. The staff are friendly, professional and most important know about all the products they sell.

Heavens Cakes beautiful with coffee

Heavens Cakes has got the right idea when it comes to cakes & savoury tarts.
Just looking at these beautiful tasty treats may put on a few calories, but when you taste them its well worth it.
Trading now in the market for a number of years they have started to give to the locals what used to be seen in cookery books or on the television.

General Info

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.

Renting Stalls

At the moment stalls can only be rented via the managment company that runs the day to day operation of the market on behalf of Cork City Council. It has been made quite clear by representatives of both parties that this website is not to post any material or information in relation to the renting of stalls as it is not an offical website affiliated to Cork City Counsel.
Presently we do not believe that any stall is available for rent.
