    i like their steaks but that's not great value,it's about normal,drove past today and on the board they had steak(sirloin)for 5.50 per lb,so you must have got some monster steaks

    €10 for 1kg steak in Joe Doyle shop in Kilcoole. 25 chicken breast for €20 too.

    The shop is in the industrial estate when you turn right at Centra coming in from greystones end.

    Kilcoole's butcher, Farrallys in Delgany and the Steak Shop down by La Touche are all brilliant IMO. We're very lucky to have such wonderful produce on our doorstep. They should be used as much as possible over the supermarkets. Support your local produce!

    Ooh and the superb organic eggs from the farm next to Eden Wood.

    The Beef in the Steak Shop is excellent.

    The egg lady,heading for Kilcoole , take the first right after the roundabout (pass by the new houses there) the second house entrance on the right.

    She also can get you a turkey, goose etc...

    Yep, it's excellent. Their four fillet steaks for €20 are excellent. Very interesting re the organic eggs. Those chickens are very free range. You see them grazing all the time. And I saw a flock of Guines fowl about a mile from the farm.

    Yea as Hutthe says above, heading toward Kilcoole from Gstones, turn right at the Kilquade turning and after passing the new estate and the entrance to Eden Wood, they're about 4 or 5 houses up with a sign on their wall offering organic eggs on right side of the road.

    I didnt know they could get turkeys.

    Donnybrook Fair. Superb meat and poultry. Never once been disappointed in the quality.

    Avoid Tesco at all cost, had several packs of meat go off within a day.

    I cant stand any wrapped in plastic sweating meat.

    Got a lovely piece of bacon from Farrellys yesterday. And a nice cabbage.

    I try to avoid Tesco like the plague. Buy very little in there these days. The special offers aren't. The fruit and Veg is cat. They drop suppliers regularly. They add nothing to our economy or standard of living. Just a personal opinion of course.

    Agree with Tesco meat being very poor quality. I've taken to buying meat at the Steak Shop - much better quality & taste, for a similar if not better price and I'm supporting the small guy.

    got rotten olives from deli counter last week in tesco. Went back when i noticed, the next day. The lady had a look at the brown(supposed to be green) shrivelled and dry olives she'd given me and said they looked fine to her! I noticed 5 other bowls of rotten olives. I argued and decided to get prepacked olives in replacement. No apologies from anyone. Went back today, had a good look before deciding to get the same ones as they looked fine. When i got home i found 5 rotten olives in the bottom. They'd covered the rotten ones with fresh ones and are still selling them. That's tescos for you.

    I agree re TESCO. Has anyone noticed the fish counter? I have never seen anything remotely fresh on it! Must agree re the Steak Shop, fantastic quality steaks, good value and supporting the little fella is always good!

    Only thing Tescos is good for is the wine. Much cheaper than anywhere else.

    Donnybrook fair is good but it's very expensive

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    You will find that Donnybrook Fair Meat is cheaper than Tesco across many items.

    Caviston's is ok for food <snip>

    Meat.

    They are hands down awesome.
    We buy most of our meat there.
    €35 goes a long way with their specials.
    Which is great considering how much meat I go through.
