Griolladh,
Join the fastest-growing toastie franchise in Ireland

Griolladh is an Irish quick service restaurant concept that specialises in customisable toasties. Their product is perfect for people on-the- go, families, tourists, shoppers and anyone that wants something quick and easy but highly customisable.

Griolladh’s menu centres on high-quality, indulgent grilled cheese sandwiches crafted with premium Irish ingredients, including 100% Irish dairy, bespoke sauces, and a signature sourdough recipe developed exclusively for the brand.

This core offering is complemented by organic coffee, fresh salads and a curated range of snacks, ensuring the menu remains relevant across all day parts, from breakfast and lunchtime through to afternoon and early evening, while appealing to a broad customer base seeking both indulgence and lighter options.

Griolladh has been successfully tested in a variety of low-capex formats (high street, kiosk, mobile unit, container), none of which requires extraction.

At the same time, the UK is seeing a renewed big love for all things Irish, from the popularity of Irish pubs and Guinness to a growing appreciation for authentic Irish produce and culture.
