Good Butchers

siobhan08

Hey guys,

I'm heading to Limerick in September to start a course in UL. In my home town we have a good butchers who do good deals like 3 or €9.99 or 5 for €20. They include low fat stuff like turkey burgers, turkey mince etc.

Can any of ye recommend a butchers that does something similar in Limerick

Flavin's for me. Across from the Killmurry hotel.

Open 7 days a week.

Try Garretts in the complex opposite UL, they do meal deals and will even tell you how to cook it. High quality produce.

Ya Garretts and Flavins are both very good. Go to Garretts regularly myself.

Yeah, you're actually lucky to have two of the best butchers in Limerick (Flavin's and Garrett's) based in Castletroy.

If you want good quality meat but not pay the prices of Garretts etc, try Jack Spratts, on the Roxboro rd

No denying Garretts are good, but VERY expensive. Morrisseys butchers in the Parkway and Crescent shopping centres always seen to have deals on. Parkway SC is near UL OP.
Also I don't know how you feel about buying meat in Aldi/Lidl? I buy from there and have never had any problems with anything I've ever bought. There's one of each near UL too.

Ive had numerous problems with gone off meat from Aldi. Likewise veg.

I still go there but no longer buy the chicken and really inspect the fruit/veg.

O'Connells Butchers in Little catherine Street is an excellent butchers. One of the oldest and award winning too. It is always packed on a Saturday, sometimes a queue out the door.

Ya Aldi and sometimes Lidl are desperate for gone off fruit. Have had one too many rotten apples. Same with the chicken. It's gone rancid usually a good few days before the use by date.

Seamus Butler's on Upper William St usually has good offers on, bit of a stretch from UL mind. Flavin's also worth a look, as already mentioned.

I usually tend to buy meat on the day I plan to use it. Very rarely it may overnight in the fridge, so unless that's why I've never had any problem with Aldi/Lidl?

I've never had a problem with their steaks or other meats. It's just been the chicken.

Try the butchers in SuperValu, they often have very good value packs. I like Garrets too and they can have some great offers.

If you are ever out the Corbally way, Nolan's on the Corbally road do a very wide variety of stuff including turkey burgers & mince, further out the Corbally Rd you will get the finest fillet steak, from their own cows at Craughans, no steak knife needed, you can cut it with a spoon

Craughan's Butchers and O'Connell's butchers in town are related.
