In the midst of the flurry of First Communion "dos" that are keeping its kitchens working overtime, The Butler's Pantry shops are celebrating Artisan Week (May 21st-24th), with in-store demonstrations and tastings given by their suppliers, which include McGeough's artisan butchers; Janet's Country Fayre, Gubbeen Farmhouse Products, Sheridans Cheesemongers, Saucy's curds and dessert sauces, Ummera Smokehouse and Crossogue Preserves.
The Butler's Pantry has branches in Blackrock, Clontarf, Donnybrook, Monkstown, Rathgar and Sandymount in Dublin, and Greystones and Wicklow town in Co Wicklow.
