In the Footsteps of Royalty!

In May 2019, the honour of a Swedish Royal visit was bestowed upon us. King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden visited the Burren Smokehouse to learn about and taste our Burren Smoked Irish Organic Salmon. Queen Elizabeth II enjoyed our Smoked Wild Irish Salmon as a starter during the historic State Dinner in Dublin Castle in 2011, and also King Charles III when he visited the Burren in 2015.
