About Benny's Deli
Benny O’ Connell worked as a bellboy, a barman, a waiter, a chef and a hotel manager, until he eventually fulfilled his dream of owning his own business. In 1981 he decided to retrain as a baker and opened a tiny bakery on Main Street, Castlerea, Co. Roscommon. The early philosophy was simple: To make food that tasted like home, for customers who didn’t have the time or skills to make it for themselves.
The philosophy remains the same to this day, but from our new larger premises on Lower Main Street. Now we have a large Restaurant, Coffee Shop, Deli and of course Breadshop. All of the food we serve is freshly made on the premises every day.
In 2017 Benny's eldest daughter Anne-Marie rejoined the business to continue the next generation of Benny's Deli.
