Frequently asked questions

Here, we answer your most common questions about how we ensure the quality and origin of every product at Walsh Butchers. We believe in transparency and trust.

What makes Walsh Butchers' meat and products stand out?

What makes the quality of Walsh Butchers’ meat and products stand out is care at every step — from where it comes from, to how it’s handled, to how it’s prepared in the shop. We don’t cut corners. We focus on freshness, consistency, and doing things properly, because that’s what customers are really paying for: confidence. That matters for our customers because it means: Better taste and better cooking results at home — the meat performs the way it should. Peace of mind — you know what you’re feeding your family is something we stand over. Less waste — when you get the right cut and the right portion, you get better value. Helpful guidance — customers can ask us what suits a roast, a stir-fry, a BBQ or a tray bake and get a straight answer. In short, our quality is about trust. People come to Walsh Butchers because they want food they can rely on — and that’s exactly what we work to provide every day.

Where do you source your beef and lamb?

For us, sourcing is about knowing what we’re standing over. Our beef comes directly from our own farm, which means it’s genuinely local and fully traceable — we know the animals, the standard, and the care that goes into producing quality meat for the shop. We also farm beef and lamb for the shop, and that farm connection is a huge part of what makes our counter special — it gives us control over quality and consistency, and it lets customers feel confident about what they’re buying. Where we do use suppliers, we keep it simple: we stick with trusted, quality-focused suppliers who meet proper standards for freshness and traceability, because the end result has to be something I’d be proud to put on my own family’s table.

How do you ensure freshness?

We ensure freshness through rigorous temperature control, prompt processing, and trusted delivery partners who adhere to our strict standards. Our commitment to freshness guarantees the best quality reaches your kitchen.

Do you offer organic options?

While not all our products are certified organic, our own farm and selected suppliers follow practices that prioritise natural animal rearing and minimal intervention, focusing on high welfare standards to deliver premium meat.

What guides Walsh Butchers when choosing suppliers?

What guides us is a very simple rule: we only bring in what we’re happy to stand over. When we’re choosing suppliers, we look for a few non-negotiables: Consistency: The quality has to be reliable week after week — not great one day and disappointing the next. Freshness & handling: Proper temperature control, clean processing, and deliveries we can trust. Traceability: We want to know where it’s come from and be able to answer customers honestly. Good farming and good practice: We stick with suppliers who take care with how stock is raised and handled. Value for customers: Not just “cheap” — genuine value where the product cooks well and tastes right. And then once it’s in the shop, the standard is protected by how we work every day — proper trimming, clean presentation, correct storage, and careful preparation. If something doesn’t meet the mark, it doesn’t go on the counter. That’s how we keep the trust people place in Walsh Butchers.

Can I trace the origin of my meat?

Yes, absolute traceability is a cornerstone of our sourcing. We can tell you exactly where your meat comes from, especially our beef and lamb directly from our own farm. Just ask our team.

Why is local sourcing important?

Local sourcing reduces our carbon footprint, supports local farmers, and allows us direct oversight of animal welfare and quality, ensuring premium, fresh products for our customers in Kilcock and beyond.

What if i have a specific question about a product's origin?

We encourage you to ask! Our team is always happy to provide detailed information about the origin, handling, and preparation of any of our products. Just ask in-store or contact us at [[email]] or [[phonenumber]].
