FX Buckley Butchers

“We aim to provide the best meat in Ireland, with superb service and constantly strive to exceed our customers’ expectations. That is why I feel we have been in business for over 84 years.” Tommy Buckley, Director.

One of the most traditional butchers in Dublin!

Francis Xavier Buckley originally from Drumcondra, set up his own butcher shop in 1930 on Moore street. It was during his honeymoon to France where he found inspiration and coined the phrase ‘Par Excellance’, reflecting his love for the cuisine culture he experienced there. To this day the phrase ‘Meat Par Excellance’ remains the companies branding.
Francis always insisted on quality meat, having meat properly hung, properly cut and properly presented. As a result FX Buckley butchers soon became a well recognised Dublin institution for quality meat. In the video below, one of Francis’s 13 children, Frank, recalls how his father brought him to the Sunday cattle marts on south circular road and how on one ocasion, a beast escaped.
FX Buckley Butchers then expanded to Talbot Street in the 50’s, Nutgrove in the 80’s and Deansgrange recently in 2014. The company has been determined to never lose focus in its original principals of quality and service. We source all our produce from local farms, have our own speciality breed of cattle and prepare all the meat daily in-store.The company has now been successful in Dublin for over 84 years. Speaking to our directors, this is down to a passion for meat and sheer hard work and dedication of the companies employees. The faces may have changed somewhat down through the years but the passion Francis Xavier instilled in it remains the same.
