About Murphys Craft Butchers

EXPERTISE FROM ONE GENERATION TO THE NEXT

Our butcher shop was first opened in 1909, at Church Street, Tullow Co. Carlow. Since then, five generations of Master Butchers have passed through our doors. Sourcing all our quality meat locally is of upmost importance to us.

We have our own EU Licensed Abattoir, where we slaughter all our own beef and lamb. All our Beef and lamb is sourced from the same farmers as our great-great-grandparents traded with. These time-honoured relationships with our local suppliers is what makes us a cut above the rest. By working with local suppliers, we also reduce the distance our produce needs to travel, helping our environment.

Scientific Process

We believe hanging meat properly is the first and most important part of good butchery. It takes time to produce real quality meat. That’s why we dry age all our beef for a minimum of 21 to 35 days. This gives our customers the tastiest and most tender beef possible, guaranteeing quality our customers can trust.

Our top quality meats are just the tip of our product offering. We also stock a great selection of ready meals, and marinades to compliment your meats. Our retail store includes a fully stocked wine off-license to compliment and pair with your roasts. Our artisan bakery produces fresh breads, confectionery and cakes for special occasions.

At our deli counter, you will find delicious roast chickens, Ready to eat meals at your convenience. Once your shopping is done, why not enjoy an indulgent Pelican Rouge coffee in our coffee house?
