In Dublin during the 1930s, a group of traditional sausage makers were originating mouthwatering sausages with a distinct taste you could only find in the city. Three generations and nearly a century later, Granby remains as the only premier handcrafted sausage maker still operating in the heart of Dublin City. Granby manufactures a range of pork and beef products which include fresh traditional sausage, speciality sausage, flavoured sausage, pre-cooked sausages, black and white puddings both raw and pre cooked and beefburgers. This story of endurance, uniqueness and unmatched quality is the message we would like to deliver to our customers.
Two Dublin businessmen, John Kavanagh and John Clavin started the business known then as K&C Sausages. Clavin was bought out by Kavanagh and the company was renamed, taking the name of the road the factory was located on, Granby Place.
At that time, the Coombe in Dublin was the epicentre of sausage making within the city with famous names like Donnelly, Hafners, Byrnes, Olhausens and Kearns were also well-known brands within the city. The next 80 years saw the demise of Donnelly and Hafners, the amalgamation of Byrnes and Kearns who were eventually taken over by Olhausens before they closed their doors in 2011.
