Once the Hafners arrived in Dublin, sausages would never be the same again! Sausage people through and through – from Bavaria – we set out to make the tastiest ever sausages that Ireland had eaten.
In 1882, we opened a shop in South Great Georges Street. In fairness, it was more than a shop, it was a proper pork emporium. There was the smell of hams roasting and strings and strings of sausages, that folk were mad for getting on the table.
And this was no flash in the pan. We opened two more Dublin shops and our sausage celebrity spread. Lads would head back from town to the west with a demand that they “don’t forget a pound of Hafner’s”. Grannies were even known to sew them into their petticoats to smuggle them across the border to homes in the North!
The days of old trams and folk galloping home with their sausages wrapped up in brown paper are a bit behind us now, but Hafner’s recipes still taste as good as they always did. Our fans know that if it’s flavour you’re after, Hafner’s will still bring it home for them.

Born from humble beginnings, Scott’s fruit and vegetable supplies actually started with one man delivering household supplies on his bike, straight out of the Royal Navy. That man was Sydney B Scott.
Come 1955 Sydney borrowed his first lorry loaded with a small batch of fruit and vegetables from a local supplier, Frank E Benner and set off to create the empire we know today.
After over five decades of business, Scott’s Crispy Onions became the brainchild of Richard Scott and team after realising the growing popularity of the ‘tobacco onion’ trend in modern and local restaurants. With David and sons overseeing the day-to-day running of the fresh produce supply, Richard and his team began to make the Crispy Onion dream a reality.
Now five years, a new premises and four flavours later, Richard, his son Christopher and team of 12 work consistently to produce flavoursome, sweet and easily prepared crispy onions for everyone to enjoy at home.
Baobab is a legendary wild African fruit, naturally rich in fibre and vitamin C.
The tree takes up to 100 years to fruit. Slow, deliberate, unmatched.
Hunter-gatherer tribes across Africa have known of the world’s most powerful superfruit, the baobab, for thousands of years. It was and still is part of their diet and from what we have discovered, there is a very good reason.
Unrooted’s founder, Nathan, grew up in South Africa where he was surrounded by the very trees he now is so closely aligned with. He had heard and read many mystical and magical stories about the power contained in the large shelled fruits that would start to fall in the month of May.
Fast forward to 2017 when Unrooted Drinks was founded and the love for this amazing tree had not changed.
