In a time when supermarkets dominate and traditional food shops are becoming rare, Hickey Meats is proud to fly the flag for local, independent butchery right here in the heart of Galway’s West End.
Since opening our doors just over two years ago, we’ve been blown away by the support from the local community. From day one, our neighbours welcomed us with open arms—and it’s that sense of connection and loyalty that keeps us going.
There’s something special about this area. The West End is full of great people, buzzing with creativity, character, and a strong grá for all things local. It’s a place where names matter, the chat is flowing, and the butcher’s block is still part of everyday life.
At Hickey Meats, we’re a family-run shop, and we’re passionate about proper butchery. Whether you’re picking up a few sausages, a weekend steak, or planning a Sunday roast, we’re always happy to help — and always up for a chat and a bit of craic while you’re here.
We also know that the cost of living is a real challenge for many at the moment. Prices are climbing everywhere, and households are feeling the squeeze. That’s why we do everything we can to keep our prices fair without compromising on quality. We believe everyone deserves a proper meal on the table, and we’re proud to offer real value alongside fresh, locally sourced meat.
With summer in full swing, our barbecue range is proving a big hit — from handmade burgers and BBQ ribs to marinated chicken skewers, lamb chops, and more. And to make it even more convenient, we also stock a growing selection of fresh veg, sauces, spices, and sides, so you can sort the full dinner in one stop.
If you can’t make it into town, we’ve got you covered. Thanks to What’s For Dinner, we now offer delivery straight to your door, making it easier than ever to shop local without leaving the house.
Everything we do at Hickey Meats is rooted in quality, service, and local pride. We work closely with trusted Irish suppliers, use time-honoured butchery skills, and always aim to serve up great food with a personal touch.
At the end of the day, you’re never just a customer — you’re part of the community. So whether you’re a regular or it’s your first visit, pop in, say hello, and see why more and more people are coming back to the butcher’s block.
Go raibh míle maith agaibh,
— Paul Hickey & team.
