Bread is a staple of every kitchen in Ireland and the Hickey family have been a staple of Clonmel since 1900. For 4 generations, they have been feeding the people of Clonmel. Be it their famous barm brack, their hearty homemade brown bread, their range of tempting pastries or a fine lunch in their old world cafe, one thing is certain, you will be sure to find value and quality in abundance.
The current generation is Nuala Hickey who swapped her school uniform for an apron and joined the business straight from her last exam. In fact, she is celebrating 21 years in the business in 2010. Hickeys is known for its original, authentic and traditional baking methods and those cherished recipes have not changed over the years. Food lovers around Ireland often think about the award winning Hickeys Barm Brack when they think of Clonmel, but there is so much more to this Clonmel institution. They have received Good Food Ireland status , a Bridgestone Award and are integral members of the Tipperary Food Producers Network. The cafe is always packed with locals and is a real melting pot of the old and the new. Close your ears to the accents and you might think you were in a French cafe, such is the old world charm and the feel while looking through the large windows towards the mountains.
