Welcome to James Whelan Butchers.
Welcome to Mastery in Meat.
A Culture of Trust
At James Whelan Butchers, native Irish farmers, artisan salt-agers, and master butchers come
together to bring you the best of our land.
Our Irish beef is grass-fed, dry-aged, and hand-cut by Master Butchers.
Our Irish lamb is reared in the open freedom of rambling mountainsides.
Our Irish pork is cured and matured by local, Irish producers.
And our Irish turkey and chicken is slow-raised and free-range.
This is the goodness of nature celebrated for its true greatness.
A Culture of Family
James Whelan Butchers stands as testament to an Irish family of farmers and butchers who
have crafted a knowledge of service and quality that is five generations strong.
Hundreds of years of knowing, living, and tending to the land, the animals, and the craft.
From the Golden Vales of County Tipperary, we come together around the table with artisans
from every nation to share one common mantra:
“Serve our customers, as if our mother.
Treat our colleagues, as if our brother.
Pride in the family is the other.”
A Culture of Honour
Every animal sacrifices its life for us to eat.
Here, we honour this with our nose-to-tail philosophy.
Every cut, every serve, we craft as a gift of goodness.
A Culture of Artisanship
A rising tide raises all boats.
As founding members of the Tipperary Food Producers Network, we celebrate and support
artisan producers. We work side-by-side with local family farmers. Visiting their farms.
Keeping the spirit of Meitheal alive.
A Culture of Sustainability
Nose-to-tail is a way of thinking, being, and eating holistically.
When we treat each morsel of meat as a precious gift of nature, we give grace to every part
of the process. The beginning place for us is the terroir. The grass-fed, wild grown diets. The
careful husbandry. The open sky living. To honour all of this goodness that is given forth, our
Artisan Butchers make the most of every delicious, precious, wholesome cut to bring to your
family, your table.
A Culture of Integrity
We believe in doing the best thing, the right thing – even when no one is looking.
All of our prime meat is sourced from native family farmers and artisan producers to be
crafted by our Master Butchers and Fresh Food Creators.
If you are not completely happy with your order, we will go to extraordinary measures to
