Vera Foods
Covid 19 has played a role in creating an exciting new food business for two hospitality professionals. Damian Corr and Jenny Campbell. The pair established ‘Vera Foods’ after their restaurant management jobs fell victim to the pandemic. They are now offering a range of specialist fine foods from Spain both on-line and through the Farm Markets at Whelehan’s Wines in Loughlinstown and Killruddery House & Gardens Saturday Farmer’s Market. Included is a range of Spanish food including Alberto’s Gold organic, cold first press extra virgin olive oil, award-winning cheeses from Andalucia, chorizo and hams from Salamanca, Serrano and Iberica, very special ‘Ugly Delicious’ olives- and much more.

He worked for leading restaurants and bars in many parts of Ireland before returning to Dublin in 2003 and spent the next decade as a professional sommelier, restaurant and bar manager at the five-star Merrion Hotel.
