Butchery Ireland - Traditiomal Family Butcher

Michael’s family has been in the butchery industry since 1800 – he’s the third generation McGrath to run it, with his son following him into the business. The family have always farmed prime Irish beef and lamb to supply the shop. In an enclosed area to the rear is the tiny abattoir, one of only two independent abattoirs still in existence in the Waterford area, which processes livestock in very small numbers, in humane, calm, and stress free conditions. Because he is involved in the whole practice of providing meat from right from farm to fork, Michael understands that buzz word ‘traceability’ more than most – and works to satisfy the needs of customers who want to know exactly where their meat comes from and how it is reared. In his quietly spoken and knowledgeable style, he’ll answer any question you like on the subject, and then some. Shopping here is as far removed from the joyless mission of picking up a few chops in a supermarket plastic tray as it could possibly be - and it makes for a very good experience indeed.

The interior is a gourmet’s delight, with traditional steel hanging racks running across the ceiling, and legs of home reared Suffolk lamb and well aged beef - matured for two to three weeks - dangling temptingly from traditional butcher’s hooks. You just know that whichever you choose, you’ll be in for a fine feast And take a camera, it’ll be some time before you see this sort of shop again on your travels! Alongside meat from the family farm, McGrath’s also stocks Waterford’s Cappoquin chickens and Organic Free Range Born Free Chickens. Obviously, this wouldn’t be an Irish butcher without a few joints or rashers of the country’s famous bacon and some good sausages, which make up the essential Full Irish fry up! David Landers from Lismore and Paddy Hays from Waterford supply pork and bacon, while Irish bangers come from Hodgkins. Grab a dozen free-range eggs here too – and away you go with breakfast in the bag!
