The baking story of Newry
Newry, a city since 2002, sits where County Armagh meets County Down, between the Mourne Mountains and the orchards of Armagh. Its canal, opened in the 1740s to carry coal from Tyrone to the sea, made it a busy trading town, and markets have long drawn farmers in from the surrounding countryside. Newry's bakers serve the full griddle repertoire of Ulster: soda farls, potato bread, wheaten loaves and thick drop pancakes. Bramley apples from the Armagh orchards turn up in tarts and crumbles in autumn, while the Mournes supply lamb and the fishing port of Kilkeel brings in prawns and fish. Being so close to the border, Newry's food culture blends easily with that of the wider north-east of Ireland.
Local bakes to look out for
- Wheaten bread – A brown soda loaf made with wholemeal flour and buttermilk.
- Potato bread – Griddle-cooked farls of mashed potato and flour, fried for breakfast.
- Bramley apple tart – A shortcrust tart filled with sharp Armagh apples.
Bakery hunter's tip: Explore Hill Street and the canal towpaths, then look for farmhouse-style wheaten bread and apple tarts in local bakeries.
Did you know? Northern Irish wheaten bread is a brown soda bread usually made with wholemeal flour and buttermilk, and is often slightly sweet.
