Laois Taste Take Over The Pantry

We were absolutely delighted to take over The Pantry in Portlaoise the Sunday 6th of November to showcase the finest Food & Drink that County Laois has to offer!

We’ve worked together alongside all the team at the Pantry and Laois County Council, Local Enterprise Office Laois and Laois Partnership to create a stunning menu featuring dishes created with our fantastic local products from Laois Taste producers and showcasing what County Laois has to offer!

It was open from 11am-4pm, with Brunch served until 3pm. Our dear neighbours came to join us for a feast of local foods and get to know the amazing producers that you have right here on your doorstep!

Huge thanks to The Pantry for supporting our Producers right from the beginning, being the only Cafe in Laois to be an officially recognised registered Laois Taste Supporter on our Provenance Scheme…If any Cafes, restaurants or food/drink establishments wish to join our Laois TASTE Food Provenance Scheme, click here to find out more in regards to how you can support our local Producers.
