After a lot of hard work, I’m delighted to announce that we have three new flavours out today:

  1. Irish Orange Marmalade
  2. Black Currant Sorbet

Let me know what you think!

Masterclass in Dublin

Cooked up by Kieran on November 18th, 2011

I’ll be doing a masterclass at the Food and Wine Christmas show in the RDS, Dublin, on Saturday 26th, 2pm. So, please stop by if you’re about!

Big Sizes for a Big Match

Cooked up by Kieran on September 15th, 2011

There’s growing excitement in Kerry about the big match on Sunday and we’ve decided that anyone wearing county colours is welcome to a free size upgrade on coffee or ice cream in our Wicklow St. shop. So, if you’re in supporter mode, please come in to us in Dublin and say “hi!”

Murphys on Fade Street

Cooked up by Kieran on December 20th, 2010

 Our Wicklow Street shop made an appearance on RTE’s Fade Street. It’s 7 minutes in…

I finally get to meet her

Cooked up by Kieran on August 12th, 2010

I finally got to meet our new cow, who lives in and about our Temple Bar shop. She still hasn’t been painted, and she still doesn’t speak, although we hope to have her speaking tomorrow (I’ll try to take a video).

If you have ideas of a name for her, please share!

Family Business

Cooked up by Kieran on July 18th, 2010

The thing about a family business is that the entire family tends the be pulled in, even if on a very temporary basis. Here’s my sister Deirdre, who is visiting from Germany, helping decorate the Temple Bar shop…

Scribble, Graffiti, or Ice Cream Art?

Cooked up by Kieran on July 15th, 2010

We still don’t have our proper, surfboard tables for our Wicklow Street shop, and we decided while we were waiting to simply use plywood in the shape of a surfboard as a temporary measure.

The tables looked a bit unfinished and tacky, so we put out some pens with the thought that customers make the shop their own and do the decorating for us. We’ve learned one thing – people LOVE writing on tables! It will almost be a shame to take them away when the new ones come!

Maybe we can find a place for them, because I find them really fun to look at…

Progress Report from Dublin

Cooked up by Kieran on June 26th, 2010

Tonight we opened both shops in Dublin for a few hours. As always, the last pieces are the most difficult and finishing the shops is proving quite a challenge.

The glass in Temple Bar finally arrived (photo above), and it took three days to install instead of the one we had expected, but at least it’s in and now there’s just some more cladding to do and general tidying up.

In Wicklow Street (photo right), we’re still without a few key pieces – extra cladding, tables for the back, swings for the front, and various bits of branding.

I’m very tired and very excited at the same time. I know it’s going to take an awful lot of effort to get the final bits and pieces done, but at least the shops are in our control now, and at least we can start doing what we love, and that’s selling ice cream!
