En-Place is an artisan production based in Co Tyrone. We think they’re a bit like Heston Blumenthal because they’re always coming up with
something just that little bit different.
Last year they scooped Ambient Product of the Year at the Great Taste Awards for their 3 star Sea Salted Caramel with
Fennel Pollen& a Top 50 Foods award for their Sea Buckthorn and Lime Jelly. They have followed up this year with an award winning Black Garlic Moustrada and a selection of chilli infused hot honeys.
Paul Clarke and Phillip Brown’s foodservice products offer the professional chef working in a restaurant, hotel or catering environment the building blocks and meal accompaniments for creative menu development and they now supply some of the countrys top chefs.
Their focus is on what they call retro innovation in food. That means flavours which are modern but which evoke memories of the past. How clever! They use modern kitchen techniques and flavour combinations to deliver an artisan
premium product for both industry professionals and the discerning retail food shopper.
As well as production of their own multiple award winning products the team at En Place also undertake product development work for other artisan producers & startups targeting the speciality food market.
