Inspired by our kitchen at home

A mother and daughter opened Bowes & Co. on 10 July 2017, with the whole family helping to build it. The idea: healthy, wholesome food, with the odd treat, almost like being at home.

Everything from the hams to the cakes is made here, with produce from Tipperary suppliers in the Golden Vale.

Nutritious means delicious.
