Anna Haugh’s Big Irish Food TourSeries 1
Episode 15 of 15

Shayne Ward invites Anna along as he retraces his Irish Traveller roots in County Louth. They meet one of Ireland’s last remaining tinsmiths and harvest cabbages at a local farm.

Singer and actor Shayne Ward is on a mission to retrace his Irish roots in County Louth. Keen to connect with his Irish Traveller heritage, Anna introduces him to one of Ireland's last surviving tinsmiths.

Historically, Travellers played a big part in seasonal farm work, so Anna takes Shayne to a local farm to get his hands dirty picking cabbages. Anna heads to the river to catch her first trout with a local angler, hoping to repay her fishing lessons with a riverside meal.
