About
The Sheridans Meath shop is in the old forge beside Virginia Road Station at Pottlereagh, Carnaross, about 10 km north-west of Kells, and Tom Blake House describes it as the cheesemonger's headquarters. The counter carries Irish farmhouse cheeses and their European neighbours, cured meats, oils and wine, and the adjoining café does coffee, light lunches and cakes. Its name is also on the Sheridans Irish Food Fair at the centre of the Kells Samhain festival each November. It is a short drive, not a walk, from the town.
