Butcher on east side of city?

lampsie

Wondering if anyone knows of any butcher on the east side of the city - specifically Mervue/Roscam/Doughiska area...since the butcher up in Mervue closed a few months ago after a fire, have been stuck using Tormey's in the Tesco shopping centre. After what I can only describe as dreadful customer service on Saturday, I'm determined to find somewhere else!

Can anyone recommend anywhere?

Ta,

Mc Greal's shop, Ballybrit (Old Monivea Road),
Dunnes Store, Briarhill.

Not so much a recommendation,
but try both and see what you think

+1 for McGreals. Its on the road at the back of Windsor Motors, kinda opposite Bethlehem restaurant. Lovely butcher, think he closes up at 6. And cheaper than the one in the Tesco shopping centre. There is also a lovely one opposite the Menlo Park Hotel, in beside the chinese. O'Connors I think it is and he does have great special offers. He is a craft butcher and always very friendly.

I'll second Gallagher's in Renmore. Four free range chickens for twenty bucks? Delerious!

Thanks again,

+1 for McGreals too.
Its on my way home from work, they have weekly specials at the butcher counter, their meat is fab, always lovely and tender. To be honest, I have found them so good, I dont get my meat anywhere else.


(if memory serves me well the latest weekend special is 25 euro special)
2lb JOINT BEEF
2lb JOINT BACON
MEDIUM CHICKEN
4 CHICKEN FILLETS
1 lb SAUSAGES
1 lb RASHERS
or something like that.

Keep away from Gallaghers, I'm from Renmore all of my life. If you go in to buy something thats NOT on special offer. The Majority of the time he doesn't even weigh the items, he just calls out some over-inflated price. I've stopped going after being charged €5 for 8 sausages years ago.

Theres a new butcher after taking over at the meat counter in The Trading Post, Headford. I drove out there last weekend on a friends recommendation!!. He kills his own beef from his farm, great quality and fantastic value for money, well worth a visit

I can't recommend Tony Gallaghers in Renmore highly enough, great quality meat with full traceability,helpful advice on cooking, and great service, one of the best butchers in Galway.

I've been living in Renmore myself for the last 24 years and Tony is in business also for the last 24 years.Fabulous meat,very friendly and clean as a whistle and would charge you €2 for 8 sausages not €5 as previously stated.

Mc Greals was good but has been closed the last few weeks. Dont know if its for good though. Finnertys in eyre sq centre is also very good.
