Irwin’s Bakery

Irwin’s Bakery is Northern Ireland’s largest independent plant bakery and is a family owned and run company based in Portadown, Co Armagh.

We have been baking bread for over 100 years so bread making is something we’ve grown up with and are famous for like our Irwin’s Nutty Krust Plain Loaf, Irwin’s Softee and our Muffins and Rolls range.

Irwin’s products are based on traditional Irish recipes and baking methods, including original fermentation and slow-baking processes. Irwin’s Nutty Krust was launched in 1963 and is a firm Northern Ireland favourite. Since then, Nutty Krust has been loved by generations of families to the present day. Nutty Krust was given its name due to the crunchy top and bottom crust – carefully baked to give the customer the best Batch Bread in Northern Ireland. So much so that Nutty Krust was voted by the Northern Ireland public, ‘Northern Ireland’s favourite product’!

Howell’s Handmade, the cake division of Irwin’s is home of Jammy Joeys – another firm family favourite.
