McCarthys Of Kanturk
Family-run Munster
McCarthys Of Kanturk is a family-run butcher based in the market town of Kanturk in County Cork. Kanturk sits in the agricultural heart of north Cork, an area with a long tradition of cattle and sheep farming and a steady supply of locally reared meat.
The shop is a member of the Associated Craft Butchers of Ireland, the trade body that represents the country's independent craft butchers. Membership signals a commitment to traditional butchery skills, with meat prepared and cut on the premises rather than bought in ready-packed. For customers, that usually means a counter where you can ask for specific cuts and get advice on cooking.
As a craft butcher, McCarthys Of Kanturk is the kind of place to look for fresh beef, lamb, pork and poultry, along with the prepared and seasonal items that local butchers typically stock. If you are in Kanturk or the surrounding parts of Cork, it is worth calling in to see what is on the counter.
