Some of the best teams aren't built on rules. They're built on small things done without being asked.

A hand on your shoulder when you're new. Someone covering for you when your child is sick. Knowledge shared without ego.

That's the kind of team we've built here, and it shows in how we work.

There is real skill in preparing a bone-in loin of pork. Our Master Butcher David has spent years perfecting it, and it shows in every cut.

Good pork starts with good land and careful hands. Come in and ask us about our pork today.

Here at James Whelan Butchers, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. From the fields to the butchery counter, we believe in caring for the land, respecting the animal and using every part with purpose. That is why nose-to-tail butchery has always been our way, and why we are proud to partner with Too Good To Go.

Too Good To Go is an app that helps people rescue good food from going to waste. Local businesses offer their surplus food in Surprise Bags, which you reserve and pay for through the app, then collect in store at a set pickup time. For us, it is another way to make the most of what our land provides, and to keep quality food on tables rather than going to waste. This World Food Day, thank you to everyone who helps us do that.

Open-sky-reared, grass-fed Tipperary lamb's liver is a hidden gem at the butcher's counter. Thanks to meticulous husbandry and a free-wander life, it's tender and sweet and packed with wholesome nutrients. It's also part of how we honour every cut, nose to tail.

For a lovely Lamb’s Liver and Sage Butter dish, simply pat the liver dry, slice it into strips, and dredge it in seasoned flour. Briskly fry it in a little olive oil and foaming butter laced with sage leaves – until browned on each side (about 2 mins per side) and pink inside. Serve on a buttered, toasted baguette. Simple, comforting and ready in minutes.

Great food starts with a good question.

Make friends with your James Whelan butcher. Ask where your meat comes from, and we can tell you the exact source, thanks to long relationships with our farmers and producers built on trust and support.

Not sure what to cook? Let your butcher be your guide. As Alton Brown says, "If you can find a good butcher, keep them close. Very close."

Sometimes the perfect question is simply, "What would you cook this weekend?"

Our slow cooking guide suggests beef shin, beef cheek, brisket, lamb shoulder and pork shoulder, each suited to long, gentle cooking.

Midweek dinner, sorted.

Free range chicken, marinated in a blend of herbs and spices, with a mix of crunchy peppers, broccoli, mangetout and baby corn. Together, they give our Chicken Stir Fry its unique character and taste.

It's prepared and ready to cook. A few minutes in a hot skillet or wok is all it needs. Serve on warm, fluffy rice or tossed through noodles.

Irish Pork with Apples and Sage

Three, it’s the magic number. Start with the beauty of our Master Cut Irish Pork or our free-range, acorn-fed, Ibérico Pork Chops. Pick up a few little dessert apples, and a couple of large sage leaves. Score the pork rind, pop it into a roasting dish with pieces of apple, and splash with a little c***r vinegar and a sprinkle of sugar. Melt some Irish butter, crisp the sage leaves, and let cool. Season your chop and add it to the pan to brown on both sides. Next, roast with the apples in a 2000 oven, then serve topped with crisped sage leaves.

Simple, seasonal, and sensational 🍏
