Butchery Ireland - Artisan Butchers Ireland
Kelly’s Artisan Butchers began 75 years ago when Dominic Kelly who had served his time with Jake McCormick in Westport decided to open a business in Newport Co Mayo. His son’s Seamus and Seán took over the business in 1974, expanding and extending their father’s work. Sean’s sons Kenneth and Cormac also work in this rare and wonderful family business.
Today they are among an elite five butchers in Mayo who have their own abattoir. Once a week they butcher beef and lamb solely for sale in “Kelly’s” It was with justifiable pride that Seán explained that up to 70% of the livestock come from their own farm and the remainder is hand picked by himself in the local marts and nearby farms.
Kelly’s have won so many national and international awards that they became too numerous to display and now rest in “ boxes upstairs”. Seán is a man who is passionate about his life’s work striving always for quality and the pleasure of meeting and pleasing his customers. Some of Irelands most prestigious have taken the time to personally write and tell Sean how much their guests have enjoyed their Kelly breakfast, a fact he is immensely proud of.
Their puddings and sausages are famous the result of many years of research, trial and testing by Seán. A well-known local secret “the Putog” (a speciality pudding made in the traditional way), is rapidly loosing its “secret” status. However Seán is adamant that “ Going big doesn’t mean that we are going to jeopardize the quality of our puddings. We make our pudding up to a standard not down to a price. It what we do, its what we’ve always done. It’s what I was born to do”. Little wonder Seán was invited to participate in Féile na Tuaithe and the Western Food Forum, which celebrates the best of country life today. The Kelly’s have been doing this for the past 75 years as Irish Craft Butcher’s.
Kelly's wonderful prodcue can be tasted and bought at many Good Food Ireland members throughout the including Ashford Castle in Mayo, James Whelan Butchers in Clonmel and Kate's Farmshop in Wexford.
