The Connemara Hamper

Eileen and Leo Halliday are discrimin-ating folk, and you need only look at the bounteous, choice foods they stock in the invaluable Connemara Hamper, in the centre of Clifden, to appreciate just how much they know, and how much they care, about artisan and speciality foods.

This is one of the very best delis, and if you are renting a house in Clifden during the season, this is your first stop to stock up, and last stop to take goodies back home.
