Our Craft Butchery in Co. Cork

We reckon Co. Cork holds a special place in the heart of Irish food. It’s home to some of the most stunning landscapes and, more importantly, some brilliant small-batch farmers we’ve partnered with. For us, it’s not just about selling meat; it’s about supporting that local food system. You want the best, and we aim to provide just that, direct from the farm gate to your table. Forget the supermarket stuff – this is food with provenance.

Why Our Meat Stands Out Here

The real difference? It’s the animals. We’re talking about animals that have actually lived a decent life, outdoors, on proper pasture. This isn’t intensive farming; it’s a partnership with farmers who care deeply about their stock and the land. The result is beef that’s a deeper red, with a flavour profile you just don’t get from grain-fed beasts. Pork with that satisfying bite, not mushy. Lamb that tastes of the herbs it grazed on. It all goes back to that sustainable, grass-fed ethos. We’ve even detailed our full list of services for you to explore.

When we started, finding consistent quality was tough. We saw too many good farmers struggling to get a fair price. That’s why we made the choice to work with specific holdings, ensuring every animal meets our high standards before it even reaches our shop. It’s a more hands-on approach, but honestly, it’s the only way to guarantee the quality you’re looking for.

What we do in Co. Cork

What We Stock in Cork

Our core offering remains consistent: top-tier beef, pork, lamb, and chicken. You’ll find our signature cuts, of course – the dry-aged ribeyes that could make a grown person weep, the slow-cooked pulled pork shoulder that falls apart beautifully. But we also push boundaries. Our charcuterie is something else; think cured hams, air-dried sausages. Stuff you’d normally only find on a trip to Italy, but made right here with Irish ingredients. We believe in using the whole animal, nothing wasted. That means you get access to lesser-known, incredibly flavourful cuts that often get overlooked. Give a go at what we’re doing with premium free-range butcher services.

We source locally, often within 30 miles of our premises where possible. This reduces food miles and means we can build strong relationships with our suppliers. We know their methods, they know our standards. It’s a closed loop. We’re not interested in being the biggest; we want to be the best at what we do, for the people of Cork and beyond.

• Grass-fed steaks (Ribeye, Sirloin, Fillet)
• Pork chops and belly, perfect for roasting
• Whole chickens & free-range breasts
• Artisan sausages: Irish whiskey, black pudding
• Cured meats: Pancetta, bresaola

Co. Cork — frequently asked

Is your beef truly grass-fed?

Absolutely. Our animals graze on pasture year-round. This diet is for the unique flavour and tenderness you’ll find in our beef. No grain finishing here.

Do you offer custom cuts?

We do. While we have standard cuts available, don’t hesitate to ask if you need something specific. We can often accommodate special requests.

How is the meat kept fresh during shipping?

We use insulated boxes with professional-grade gel ice packs, shipped via express refrigerated courier. It’s designed to keep the meat perfectly chilled.

What makes your pork different?

Our pork comes from heritage breeds raised outdoors. They have more fat marbling, giving a richer flavour and a more satisfying texture compared to standard commercial pork.

Can I collect my order in person?

Yes, you can order online and select delivery to your door. It’s a great way to save on delivery and grab your order at your convenience.

Are your chickens free-range?

Indeed. Our chickens have ample space to roam outdoors, foraging and behaving naturally. This freedom directly impacts the meat’s quality and flavour.
