Yes. When it comes to our premium range rare products there may be an additional waiting time involved. For our world-famous Wagyu Beef, this can be as much as 60 days. This is because it is imported directly from Japan but is also only available when the highest-quality A5 grade becomes available to Higgins Family Butcher.

Yes we do. Situated in the heart of the stunning beach-side village of Sutton, our beautiful new store is the culmination of 140 years of passion and family pride. Filled with the finest produce and staffed by the best butchers, our shelves are stacked and our doors are open.

We use the best technology to ensure you receive your meat in the best condition. Produced by Woolcool, this superior, eco-friendly insulated packaging is a revolution in the transportation of temperature-sensitive goods. It’s actually made from sheep’s wool. One of nature’s most amazing ‘smart fibres’, it has a complex structure made of natural properties that cope with extremes of cold and heat. 100% felted sheep’s wool is washed in a natural process, scoured, then sealed within recyclable industry grade micro-perforated polyethylene wrap. This high-performance thermal insulated packaging is designed specifically for direct deliveries of chilled foods like meat. Rigorously tested and proven to keep produce within the temperature ranges required by the Food Safety Authority of Ireland, this amazing technology ensures your purchases are delivered to you fresh, every time.

No. Quite the opposite in fact. We’re 4th generation Master Butchers putting our commitment-to-quality behind a business that’s been in our family since 1880.
