Your source for craft meats in Westport

Folks wander in looking for that something special, that cut of meat that sings on the plate. Here in Westport, we’ve built our reputation on delivering exactly that. It’s not about throwing a bunch of products online; it’s about knowing the farmer, understanding the animal’s life, and selecting only the best to bring to your table. We do it for the home cooks, the entertainers, the ones who appreciate the difference a truly great piece of meat makes. You can taste the care in every bite.

Our Approach to Quality

We don’t cut corners. Simple as that. The animals we source spend their lives on small, local farms, grazing on grass. This isn’t just some marketing line; it’s fundamental to the flavour. You can taste the pasture, the clean air.

We select our partners carefully—farmers who share our commitment to animal welfare and sustainable practices. It means we get a better product, and you get meat that’s both delicious and ethically raised. We’ve had this conversation with customers from Compo Beach all the way out to Old Hill; they always notice the difference.

Many places talk about traceability. We live it. Every animal has a story, from birth to the plate. This allows us to stand behind every single cut we offer. It’s a level of transparency you’d be hard-pressed to find elsewhere, and frankly, it’s how it should be done. We know exactly where our lamb comes from, the breed of the pork, the feed of the chicken. This isn’t a guess; it’s a given.

Beef, Pork, Lamb, and Chicken – Done Right

• Prime cuts of beef: aged for tenderness, sourced from heritage breeds.
• Sausages: handcrafted daily using traditional recipes, with options for every palate. Think a proper Cumberland or a sharp Irish pork.
• Tender chicken: free-range, plump birds that actually taste like chicken.
• Succulent lamb: from spring lamb to mature hogget, depending on the season.
• Charcuterie: cured and smoked on-site, a real treat.
• Game: when available, always locally sourced.

The conversation around beef, in particular, gets complicated. On paper, any old steer will do. In practice, you want the marbling, the age, the specific cut. We spend time with our beef; we let it mature properly. Some butchers rush this. We don’t. It requires space, time, and the right conditions. We had one client whose phone rang three times in the first week after they got a side of our beef—turns out they were all friends wanting to know where it came from. You get that kind of buzz from meat that’s been handled with respect.

The flavour isn’t in the packaging; it’s in the life lived.

For pork, we’re partial to heritage breeds. The flavour profile is richer, the texture more satisfying. You won’t find the watery, bland pork often peddled elsewhere here. We understand that people want pork that’s versatile—great for roasting, braising, or curing into bacon. For lamb, it’s about showcasing the best of what Ireland offers. Whether it’s a leg for Sunday dinner or a rack for a special occasion, the quality speaks for itself. We’ve sent our lamb to homes in Greens Farms and even out towards Saugatuck, and the feedback is always about the pure, clean taste.

Beyond the Counter

Look, we know not everyone can pop into Westport regularly. That’s why we’ve put a lot of effort into our online offering. Shipping refrigerated meat is a challenge; it costs more, it takes more care. But if you’re in, say, Cork, and you want the same quality of craft beef chicken pork lamb sausage that we offer locally, we can get it to you. It’s about extending that same quality and expertise. We’ve invested in the right packaging and couriers to ensure it arrives in perfect condition. It’s the next best thing to picking it up yourself.

Cut	Typical Use	Our Recommendation
Ribeye Steak	Pan-searing, Grilling	Aged 28 days minimum. For a perfect crust, don’t overcrowd the pan.
Pork Belly	Roasting, Braising	Score the skin deeply for crackling. Low and slow is key.
Lamb Shoulder	Slow Roasting, Stewing	Can take 4-5 hours at 150°C. Rises to the occasion beautifully.

For anyone looking for that premium free-range butcher experience, this is it.

How is your beef aged?

We typically age our beef for a minimum of 28 days. This process breaks down connective tissues, resulting in a more tender and flavourful steak. The specific cut dictates the precise aging period.

Do you ship outside of Ireland?

Currently, we only ship within Ireland, including Northern Ireland, using our refrigerated parcel service.
