James Whelan Butchers

James Whelan Butchers-A Tradition of Craft, Quality, and Care
 
At James Whelan Butchers, our story begins in Clonmel, Co. Tipperary, where five generations of master butchers have dedicated themselves to the art of butchery. Founded in the 1960s, our family business has grown from a small local shop into one of Ireland’s most respected names in food-a place where craft, care, and community still guide everything we do.
 
Today, with 14 shops across Ireland and a thriving online store, we continue to honour those traditions while embracing innovation and excellence at every stage. From our own farm to our production kitchens, logistics, and retail counters, we oversee every detail-ensuring absolute quality, traceability, and trust.
 
We’re proud to work with a community of farmers and food producers who share our values and respect for the land. Together, we’re united by a simple belief: that good food, honestly made, brings people together.
 
At James Whelan Butchers, it’s not just about what we do-it’s about how we do it. With skill, integrity, and a deep love for our craft.
