Be part of something big

Finnebrogue Artisan is a name synonymous with good food. We started as a producer of superb venison and now have branched out into other meat and plant-based alternatives. We look at what is wrong with food to figure out how to make it the best it can be without being bound by the way it has always been done. This kind of innovative thinking has led us to multiple awards, nationwide acclaim and has established us as the leading artisan food producer. The business has progressed rapidly in recent years. Its restless drive for innovation has been the cornerstone of our success, with turnover growing from a £50M business to a £180M business in the past 5 years
