Butchers who offer ready-made meals - City Centre/Southside

fkt

Hey,

I'm living in Rathmines at the moment and I'm in desperate need of a butcher who offers stuff ready to cook. I'm in town everyday so anywhere there would suit aswell. I find myself ordering take-out every night so a more affordable/healthy alternative is required

Any recommendations really appreciated,
cheers.

meath street D8 there are a few

How ready? Like as in a tray with chicken, potatoes, etc... or just say the chicken in some sauce?

I know FX Buckley in town do loads of stuff, not sure about the tray with everything. Likewise Meath St have some great butchers.

Lawlors on the Upr Rathmines Rd do a great range of fresh-package foods. The stews and curries are particularly good. Quite pricey but really nice.

Davie Nolan in Rathmines should be able to sort you out.

Last time i look it was "put the tray in the oven and put your bib on" but that was more than a year ago since Ive been there. they had a nice wide selection too

The butchers (can't remember their name) in Dundrum shopping centre opposite the Tesco does some good ones. They usually have a few deals on as well (2 for €8, 3 for €10 etc).

buckleys on talbot street, moore street and nutgrove do ready meals

Tesco's dunnes and Supervalu do meals in tray and ready for the oven, I think Supervalu have the better quality meals.

The latter. Ideally they would offer potatoes prepared seperately.

Tried it, they just have basic meats, nothing prepared.

Re tesco/supervalue etc. - They do offer what I'm looking for but it's all very, very limited(i.e. the same stuff for 12 months without change)

Thanks all - Any more suggestions appreciated!

Lawlors, about 250 metres from Nolans, has all that stuff you want. Freshly made lasagna, stews, curries - ready for the oven or the pot.

as mentioned earlier.., Butchers Block across from Tesco un Dundrum TC if your ever out that direction

Really good value.

I love the pork steak meal,.

stuffed pork steak,
roast veg,
roast spuds..

Stick it in the oven for an hour and you could feed 3 people for €10 (maybe add extra veg)

Oh,, Jaysus I think I'll be having that this weekend :pac:

Dunnes butchers Donnybrook. Won a butcher of the year award recently. Whole range of ready made stuff. Not the cheapest but far far cheaper, tastier and healthier than getting a takeaway from somewhere.

Another vote for the butchers block in Dundrum SC.

Got rack of lamb in the tray and everything, ready to stick into the oven, it was unbelievably good!

Not a butcher but supervalu on the quays do these kind of ready made meals, with one tray of meat with sauce and one with veg. Generally they are for 2 people but there are a few for one
