Buying black pudding for a full English, an Irish breakfast or your brunch menu? Green Acres offers Granby and Clonakilty black pudding and white pudding, in sliced catering packs and smaller rolls. Choose the format that best suits your breakfast service.
Black pudding is the dark blood sausage served with many British and Irish breakfasts. White pudding is a different sausage, made without blood, and is often served with an Irish breakfast. Both are savoury products, rather than the sweet dessert that Dutch-speaking guests might associate with the word “pudding”.
Browse black pudding and white pudding.
The difference between black pudding and white pudding
The main distinction is that black pudding contains blood and white pudding does not. The exact ingredients and seasoning vary by brand and product. White pudding is therefore not automatically vegetarian.
A short explanation on your menu helps guests choose. “Black pudding” is a familiar name to many British and Irish visitors; describing it as British or Irish blood sausage helps Dutch-speaking guests understand what they are ordering. For white pudding, use the product name and, where helpful, explain the ingredients in your chosen variety.
If you offer both, list both on the menu. Guests ordering an Irish breakfast can then see which components your version includes.
Granby and Clonakilty black pudding
The Green Acres range includes four options:
| Product | Pack size or order unit |
|---|---|
| Granby Black Pudding Sliced | 4 kg, pre-sliced |
| Granby White Pudding Sliced | 4 kg, pre-sliced |
| Clonakilty Black Pudding | 20 rolls of 280 g |
| Clonakilty White Pudding | 20 rolls of 280 g |
Choosing between sliced pudding and rolls is largely about how you want to work in the kitchen. Each brand and product has its own specification; use those details when selecting products and planning your menu.
Pre-sliced pudding or a whole roll?
Pre-sliced pudding suits a workflow where you want to use the supplied slice size. That is practical when you repeatedly serve the same breakfast with a fixed number of slices per plate.
Pudding in rolls lets you choose the slice thickness yourself. This can be useful if you use pudding in several dishes or want to set your own portion size.
Check both the weight per roll and the full order unit when ordering. One 280 g roll is different from a case containing twenty rolls. This helps you order the quantity you actually want to receive.
Black and white pudding on the breakfast menu
Offer black pudding as a standard part of a full English or as an extra alongside an existing breakfast. Offering it as an extra lets guests decide whether to include it.
For an Irish breakfast, combine black and white pudding with Irish sausages, bacon and eggs. You could also offer a smaller breakfast and list pudding as an optional addition. This keeps the core dish straightforward while giving enthusiasts the components they are looking for.
For brunch, try a slice of pudding with an egg and toast. Describe what is served on the menu and adjust the portion to suit the rest of the dish.

Buying pudding alongside the rest of your breakfast range
If you are looking for black pudding, you may also be choosing other British or Irish breakfast products. Alongside pudding, Green Acres offers breakfast sausages, back bacon, baked beans and hash browns.
Use these to create a regular ordering list for your kitchen. Record the chosen variety and pack size for each product. That makes it clear which sausages, bacon and pudding belong in your breakfast, even when a colleague places the order.
