Where has the time gone?
It feels like just yesterday we opened the kiln door for the first time to reveal our inaugural rack of smoked salmon. Yet, here we are, three and a half decades later, celebrating an incredible milestone. We are thrilled to mark 35 amazing years in business!
The photo above captures one of our cherished memories: Peter holding the largest salmon ever caught for us off the coast of Doolin. We prepared this magnificent fish and celebrated its catch with a grand party at the Roadside Tavern! This remarkable salmon is still on display in our “Taste the Atlantic – Salmon Experience.”
As a side note, and as a testament to how much time has passed, standing next to Peter in the photo are Phelim and Róisín. They have since finished school, completed their studies, and embarked on successful careers.
Our journey hasn’t always been easy, but our passion for real, authentic food has carried us over every bump in the road.
There are so many highlights to look back on, including:
We, Birgitta (the owner & CEO of the Burren Smokehouse), co-founder and husband Peter, and the entire Burren Smokehouse team, are deeply grateful for the wonderful people we have met over the years. Many of them have become friends. We also want to thank our loyal customers and suppliers. Without their support, we would not be here today.
Here’s to many more years of bringing authentic, delicious food to your tables. Thank you for being part of our journey!
