They source the freshest of raw ingredients as locally as possible and are proud of the produce of Tipperary.

They also grow their own salads and vegetables in their garden and polytunnel, with their free range hens providing eggs for the café.

Naomi's garden is stocked with seasonal produce throughout the year which gives them great variety in creating new menu choices to match the seasons.

The Arch Bar meanwhile, has been operating in Thurles since 1947.
