O'Donnells Bakery
O’Donnell’s Bakery is based just outside Laghey village in Co. Donegal. The bakery is owned by Andrew McElhinney and his family. Andrew started his career in food, working as a fruit and veg assistant and then moved on to a delivery driver, delivering milk and then bread before buying the bakery 2010. Since then, he has expanded the business and provided many jobs for the locality.
The bakery uses both traditional and modern baking techniques to produce high-quality & delicious wheaten breads, scones, fresh rolls and buns. Our ingredients are sourced from food manufacturers all over the isle of Ireland. Andrew has a strong belief of supporting local businesses.
In support of a greener environment, the bakery has recently changed several of our plastic packaging trays to cardboard and have started using a company that uses food waste from the bakery to generate electricity.
The Food Academy helped Andrew expand into stores across the north and west of Ireland. They have supported the bakery and helped grow our brand and expand our workforce. The Food Academy programme give a real insight into how the food retail sector works.
