The Connemara Hamper is a well-stocked speciality food shop in Clifden, the Capital of Connemara that has been serving the very best cheese and artisan products since 1997. When Eileen Halliday set up this award winning delicatessen, she pioneered the promotion of farmhouse cheeses and locally sourced food, fruit & vegetables. Today, Sally Madden continues to provide the same service and ethos to ensure every customer receives the finest quality and best choice.

The “Hamper”, as it is know locally, carries a wide range of Irish farmhouse cheese, organic wines, home cooked ham, freshly baked bread, smoked salmon, cured meats, locally made delicious cakes/desserts and Green Bean coffee.
