Fingal Ferguson: West Cork is a destination — you don’t just pop down and back in the same day

One of the fifth generation to grow up on Gubbeen Farm in West Cork, Fingal Ferguson is a knife maker, cook, father of five and the founder of the Gubbeen Smokehouse. We find out what he gets up to on a Saturday when he’s not appearing at the Big Grill where you’ll find him this day week in Dublin's Herbert Park.

We’ll wake up around 8am, which is later than during the week when things start on the farm at 6.30am.
