A Short History of the Lumpers Made with Xara A History of the lumpers The Lumpers is currently owned by John and Patricia Lambe and have been sole owners  since January 2007. We have 4 children Shauna, Nathan, David and Nadine. The Licensed Premises was leased on the 7th September 1917 by MacArdle Moore & Co Ltd. to Joesph Coleman. It was leased on the basis that he would expand and rebuild the  property and spend the sum of 400 pounds,  of which MacArdle Moore would give him half. The property leased was surrounded by property belonging to Treanors but the acutal licensed premise was to Coleman.It was taken over in 1965 by Matthew McArdle. The Lumpers got its name from Tom 'the Lumper' Treanor who was a seed merchant who sorted out big spuds (Lumps) from small spuds next door to the pub .These days his original Fireplace can be seen in good use as part of the Lumpers Pub .
