Together, with their dedicated 20-strong team, they bring expertise, passion, and warm customer service to the shop every day.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a special kind of atmosphere in James Whelan Butchers, Clonmel\u2014one that\u2019s built on years of teamwork, skill, and a shared love for great food. David and Trish have been part of the shop for over 16 years, and many of the team members have grown through apprenticeships to become master butchers themselves.<\/p>\n<p>David has noticed a growing interest in slow-cooked dishes, thanks to the rise of social media chefs and the popularity of slow cookers. At James Whelan Butchers, we\u2019ve always championed nose-to-tail eating, ensuring that every part of the animal is valued. Our master butchers are always on hand to chat with you and cut the perfect piece of meat for your recipe\u2014whether it\u2019s oxtail, shin beef, or pork belly.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10257\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jameswhelanbutchers.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Trish-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jameswhelanbutchers.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Trish-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jameswhelanbutchers.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Trish-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.jameswhelanbutchers.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Trish-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jameswhelanbutchers.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Trish-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.jameswhelanbutchers.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Trish-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Trish takes great pride in the exceptional quality of the locally sourced, grass-fed beef, free-range turkey, and Tipperary lamb that we offer.
