OUR PHILOSOPHY

Quality guides every stage of what we do.

Our philosophy is built around quality. We hold ourselves to high standards at every stage, from farm to plate.

 

For quality beef, we select traditional Irish breeds such as Angus and Hereford.

ANIMAL WELFARE FIRST

Animal welfare starts on the farm, with good husbandry, proper feeding, and calm handling.

A PERSONAL SERVICE

We keep things small so the service stays personal. Every order is built around the customer needs.

OUR APPROACH

WHERE CRAFT BEGINS

It starts with careful selection on the farm, continues with patience through ageing, and finishes with attention at the final cut.

100% IRISH BEEF

All of our beef comes from Irish farms, raised on good pasture. We focus on traditional breeds with proper fat cover and natural marbling, selecting each animal individually with farmers we know and trust.

CRAFTSMANSHIP

We age our beef with care and patience, because time brings out proper flavour and eating quality. Every order is cut by hand, with careful thought given to yield, portion and how it will be served.

SPECIALTY BREEDS

We source specialty breeds including Wagyu and Dexter in small numbers. Chosen individually and aged with care, they offer either exceptional marbling or deeper, traditional flavour.

ABOUT US

Hayes is an Irish beef business built on
craft, tradition, and trust.

Hayes began in 1893, when the family first started butchering beef in rural Ireland. What began as a small local trade has continued through generations, built on hands-on work and steady experience.
 

Over the years, the way of working has stayed the same. We know our farmers, we understand the land, and we select each animal individually. That direct involvement gives us full confidence in what we supply.
 

Good beef starts with proper care. Breeding, feeding and welfare on the farm shape everything that follows. That belief has guided us for more than a century, and it still shapes how we work today.
