    Ok, I was in a bit of a hurry today as I am sure most people were with the snow issues...anyhow, after dropping off some post at the sorting office and looping around past the Garda Station, I noticed very briefing a small shop with an awning with "The Steak Shop" on it. the shop is located at the top of the cop-shop road.

    Is this the real name of the shop? Do they sell other stuff and steaks are their speciality? Are they just a glorified butcher? How do they rate against the other competition? Or do the sell tent pegs and think there's a market by being located beside the Scout Hall?

    Any relevant comments are very welcome. Now I'm a little peckish.

    They sell other products besides steak. The steak however is top notch. The chap who owns it slaughters his own and supplies most of the butchers around.

    They very helpful aswell. I was looking for fancy sausages, which they didnt have that day. I almost had to fight him off as he was trying to order them for me. I needed them for that day.

    I bought some steak there the other week. I reckon it was the nicest I've had in a very long time.

    I'd strongly recommend him.

    +1 Was also walking past there completely by accident the other day and noticed it for the first time, went in and got a really good steak for my dinner that night. Apparently they've been there for over 6 months now.

    Had steak from there last night. VERY high quality meat.

    We've ordered a shoulder of pork for the weekend. Looking forward to it being of the same high quality. :)

    Would highly recommend the striploin; we had it last week and it was so tender that a normal knife cut it easily. Yum Yum....

    Thanks for all the comments...sounds like a decent spot for a nice bit of meat. I'll certainly try it out in the next week.

    @Dr Ro, this is Greystones - totally recession proof!

    Farrellys meat is very good. He is suppled by the chap who owns the steak house. The steak is more expensive but I don't eat steak as often as I'd like so I don't mind paying a bit more more for quality .

    Can't fault this place. Great meat at good value for its quality!

    Also, the guy who owns the operation is very generous when supporting local charities and school fund raising. For me that's another good reason to support a local business offering a great product.

    I have to totally agree with the above sentiments regarding the meat. It is totally fantastic! The steaks are massive too. We get striploin there and it is brilliant value.

    I went in one day looking for lamb mince and they chopped it off the legs for me and minced it! :eek: I was salivating looking at the quality of the meat going into the mincer.

    Brought the bones home (For Dog Owners info: they were free and with some lovely meat still on) to see what would happen with the cats - it had the natural, if unwanted, affect on one of them......he has now turned hunter and killed 2 birds including a thrush the size of my foot! :rolleyes:

    i have to agree this small new butchers is fantastic the displays are brillant the butcher there really knows his stuff and if he doesn;t have what you need will have no problem getting it for you.the steak there is to die for and is reasonably priced and at least you know it will be tender .they also seem to have some different specials on each week which is also great in these doom and gloom times

    we only discovered this place the other week and I have to agree with everyone else - it's well worth it! we got striploin and they were delicious - so unbelievably tender. My only teeny weeny criticism is that they don't do rib-eye because it's my favourite...

    I can't believe it's been open for this long and I didn't know about it. I've just come from there and practically had to be dragged out. I got a magnificent 23 day aged piece of beef with the rib in for a roast tomorrow. All the food in the food in the fridge will be gone off if I keep opening it to take a look again.

    O.k., so just tried the T-Bone steak from there this evening.... and to be honest...
    Didn't think much of it to say the least, thought it was tasteless... not a pitch on Farrellys.. No-where near...
    Great service and all that but regarding meat... wont be going there again...

    Oh and it was more exspensive than Farrellys..

    Looking forward to next Saturday where normal service will resume...;)
