Everything tastes better al fresco.

And if the idea of tucking into a decadent pizza topped with local produce while sitting in an idyllic country garden tickles your tomato, pop this date in the calendar.

With the weather slowly improving, Toons Bridge are opening their shop and pizzeria for the season on Saturday, April 6th.

Famous for its small batches of wonderful cheese, including mozzarella, ricotta, burrata, stracciatella and cheddar, Toons Bridge make a predictably mouthwatering pizza.

Located just outside Macroom town as you head west to Inchigeelagh, hopping off the bridge over the Toon River, ’round the bend past Creedon’s Bar, you’ll find the unassuming Toons Bridge Shop and Pizzeria nestled between the hedges.

Their picturesque herb and vegetable garden is surrounded by trees, bees, and seating areas in different nooks around the lawns.

Guests can even nab a seat in the repurposed flower-filled polytunnel, the perfect location for an impromptu date or day out with the kids… especially if it’s drizzling.

On top of the full range of Toons Bridge Dairy cheeses, all made on-site, the shop also sells Mediterranean foods from The Real Olive Company as well as local produce such as Coolea cheese, local apple juice, and 9 White Deer beer.

Shoppers can pick up local eggs to take home as well as antiques, soaps, and ceramics.

Keep on eye on their socials for the new opening hours over the next few weeks.
