Burren Smokehouse

The Burren Smokehouse was first established in 1989 by Birgitta and Peter Curtin. They researched the smoking traditions in Ireland and in Sweden and the idea of the Smokehouse was born. The Curtin family for about one hundred years owned the 'Roadside Tavern' nearby which was the first place where their own smoked salmon was served. Its quality became known very soon and pubs, hotels and restaurants in the Lisdoonvarna area started to order salmon from the Smokehouse. At that time three people were working in the Smokehouse, today there is a team of twelve. Orders started to come in from all over Ireland, followed by those from hotels and restaurants in Great Britain and in the meantime the Burren Smokehouse supplies smoked salmon all over the world, within 48 hours.

The Burren Smokehouse continues to extend its reputation in its original market areas and has developed a major business in Corporate Mail Order, and On-line transactions where companies use modern despatch facilities to send sides of smoked salmon to their clients worldwide. Many of these patrons are from Continental Europe and the U.S. with a growing number coming from the Far East and the emerging Eastern European markets.

The Burren Smokehouse has also addressed the wholesale and bulk catering markets including airline catering, supermarkets and specialist gourmet food chains in Continental Europe and specialist Irish Pub chains in London, New York and Boston. Over the past two years it has gained extensive experience in developing product and packaging requirements for specific client needs and is now in the process of marketing this expertise in the European markets.

Salmon is still the most important item within the product range of the Smokehouse who also smokes trout, mackerel and eel. Even different cheeses are smoked here which are produced locally
