Summer BBQ essentials
Take off your raincoat and imagine it’s BBQ season – if only for a day!
When we do get our Irish summer (the start of the Leaving Cert is usually a safe bet!) it will be time to finally get out there and enjoy BBQs with friends and family. But where to start? We have put together this quick shopping list so that you can have everything covered. Pop into Honestly Farm Shop to browse our range and get summer off to a good start! Our Farm Shop is open 7 days a week 9:30am to 8pm. Don’t forget to ask for a loyalty card and get 3 points for every €1 spent to use on a future purchase in our farm shop, restaurant, drive thru or in our new Honestly Farm Kitchen in Strandhill (Coming Soon!)
