Our Angus ribeye steak is one of the world’s most loved cuts, prized by butchers and chefs alike. Generous marbling runs through every steak, basting the meat from within and delivering that unmistakable, juicy, beefy flavour.

Each ribeye is hand-cut by our Master Butchers for consistency, quality and tenderness, ensuring every steak cooks beautifully at home.

Once you try it, it’s easy to see why it remains a firm favourite.

A Father’s Day classic that always earns its place at the table.

Here’s to great steak, done properly.

Some flavours were made for BBQ season. 🔥

Sweet. Smoky. Peppery.

As they hit the grill, the aroma does the talking.

At James Whelan Butchers, knowledge isn’t something you learn once; it’s something you live every day.

We call it Feolas, living knowledge passed from one generation to the next, cut by cut, shoulder to shoulder. It shapes how we work, how we serve, and how we think about the future of food.

The James Whelan Graduate Programme is built on this foundation. It is where craft, culture, and leadership come together to develop the next generation of people in food.

A journey grounded in tradition, but focused on what comes next.

GRASS-FED, SLOW-AGED, STEAK

Whether grilling outdoors or cooking indoors, there’s nothing quite like a magnificent steak from James Whelan Butchers. Go big and dramatic with a Tomahawk. Or salt-aged and marble-rich with a rib-eye. Or choose the best of both with a juicy T-Bone. Our Master Butchers can hand-cut it to your favourite serve.

The secret to a great burger? It's not the toppings.

Not the sauce.
Not the cheese.
Not the bun.

It starts with the blend.

80% chuck for deep, beefy flavour.
20% brisket for richness and juiciness.

Dry-aged, handcrafted and made for the grill by our Master Butchers.

Everything else is just dressing. 🔥🍔
