Durcan Meats
Family-run Munster
Durcan Meats is a family-run butcher based in Cork. As a traditional craft butcher, it offers the kind of counter service where cuts can be prepared to order and staff can advise on what suits a particular dish or cooking method.
The shop is a member of the Associated Craft Butchers of Ireland, the trade body that represents the country's independent craft butchers. Membership reflects a focus on skilled, hands-on butchery and the standards expected of the trade, rather than the prepacked approach found in larger retailers.
Cork sits in the south of Ireland and has a strong food culture, with plenty of local farming across the county supplying meat to butchers like this one. For customers in and around the city, Durcan Meats offers a local alternative to the supermarket, where you can buy fresh meat from people who handle and prepare it themselves.
