More awards for Nolans

Nolan’s of Kilcullen had a very successful outing at the Associated Craft Butchers of Ireland National Craft Finals which were held in the K Club, Straffan, on Sunday last.

They won the National Championship title for their Gluten Free Sausages in the Gluten Free category and finished runner-up with their Reduced Fat Sausages in the Lifestyle Choice category.

They also claimed the Championship title for the Best Spiced Beef in Ireland in the hugely competitive National Spiced Beef competition, beating off strong opposition from the rest of the country.

James Nolan was quick to praise Fred Mitchell for all his hard work with Nolan’s world famous sausages, which are made fresh every day. James also paid huge credit to Dermott Mitchell and Marc Behan with the preparation of the Spiced Beef for the national finals last Sunday.

With Christmas only round the corner these prestigious national awards will give the friendly and capable team in Nolan’s of Kilcullen a huge lift before the busy festive period.

The latest wins add to an extraordinary tally of awards by the shop and its team, which include Best Butchers Shop in the UK & Ireland at the House of Lords in London in 2015, as well as an Outstanding Achievement Award at the World Cup Finals for Craft Butchers in Frankfurt in 2016.
