Welcome to McCarthys of Kanturk, Online Artisan Butchers Shop
McCarthy’s is one of the most celebrated and respected butchers in Ireland. Jack and Tim are a father and son team. The family butchers shop has been supplying Kanturk with top quality meat since 1892. With innovative products like their award winning Sliabh Luachra air-dried beef and their mouth watering Spiced Bacon this is a butcher who stands apart in their field.
McCarthy’s began selling venison farmed at the stunningly beautiful Millstreet Country Park in 2009 and sell a full range of venison products in the extensive online shop.
The Bridgestone Irish Food Guide 2010 says,
“McCarthy’s look like a normal butcher’s shop in a normal Irish town. It’s no such thing. Cherrywood smoked beef. Duhallow lamb sausage. A member of the Brotherhood of the Black Pudding. Whiskey dry-cured rashers. See what we mean about not being a conventional butcher’s shop? Where else would you see meat treated with such fiendish imagination? Tim is the 5th generation of the family to have taken up the butcher’s apron so McCarthy’s allies contemporary nous and know how with more than a century of family tradition. And they are always striving to make something new, to take modern ideas and marry them to the best meat they can source. And now, with an online shop, you don’t have to make the pilgrimage to Kanturk to get your hands on these exhilarating exciting foods. Unique.”
