Rocketman lands in space

The Rocketman has come back to earth — but will continue to do the satellite orbits of farmers markets, along Cork’s Ring Road.

The Cork-based food company which does dozens of seasonally-adjusted takes on salads, this week opens a fresh food shop at 38 Princes Street — a stone’s throw from the city’s acclaimed English Market, home to dozens of purveyors of fresh produce.

Billing No 38 as ‘Rocketman HQ,’ the food company up to now has traded primarily at farmers’ markets in Douglas, Mahon and Wilton, and also previously on the Coal Quay, It also did catering at the first Ballymaloe Food and Literature Festival in East Cork: founder Jack Crotty, aka Rocketman, is Ballymaloe-trained.
