Irish Lamb

At Kearney’s Butchers, located in the heart of Buncrana, Co. Donegal, we take pride in offering the finest Irish lamb, sourced directly from the reputable E&B O’Donnell Ltd in Letterkenny. Our commitment to sourcing locally reared, grass-fed lamb ensures customers enjoy rich, tender meat with full-bodied flavour that reflects the lush pastures and traditional farming practices of County Donegal.

If you’re looking for a cut of meat that you can’t seem to find, get in touch with our butchers in Donegal.

Premium Irish Lamb with Provenance You Can Trust

We only source our lamb from E&B O’Donnell Ltd, one of the most trusted names in Donegal livestock supply, known for its commitment to traceability, welfare standards, and the highest level of butchery. Each lamb is reared with care in the green hills of Donegal, where the animals graze freely and are handled humanely throughout their life cycle. This not only supports sustainable Irish farming but also ensures our customers enjoy superior meat with robust flavour and tenderness.

The lamb is processed at peak condition, ensuring it reaches our shop in Buncrana in the freshest possible state. From leg of lamb and shoulder joints to lamb chops and minced lamb, every cut is expertly prepared to preserve the integrity and quality of the meat.

Expert Butchery with Traditional Skills

Our team at Kearney’s Butchers bring decades of experience to every cut. We believe butchery is an art and a craft, which is why our cuts of lamb are always precise, consistent, and tailored to suit every culinary need. Whether it’s a bone-in shoulder joint for slow roasting, frenched racks for fine dining, or diced lamb for stew, we ensure the customer gets the best.

We also offer preparation services for special occasions, portioning joints to your specification, and advising on cooking times and seasoning suggestions. Our in-store team is always ready to help you select the right cut of lamb for your chosen recipe.

Spiced Lamb Mince with Couscous

Rub a whole lamb shoulder with crushed garlic, fresh rosemary, olive oil, sea salt and black pepper. Roast slowly for 4 hours at 150°C until the meat is tender and falling off the bone. Serve with mashed potato and buttered carrots for a comforting Sunday meal.

Use diced shoulder or neck of lamb. Brown the meat, then simmer in beef stock with diced carrots, potatoes, parsnips, celery, and onion. Season with thyme and bay leaf. Cook slowly for 2 hours until the meat is tender and the broth is thick. Best served with crusty brown soda bread.

Fry minced lamb with chopped onions, garlic, ground cumin, coriander and paprika. Add chopped tomatoes and simmer for 20 minutes. Serve over couscous with fresh mint and a spoon of yoghurt for a simple mid-week dinner with a North African twist.
