Very popular among the local residents and very much a family run business. This butchers offers hot food from its deli counter during the day, unusual bottled drinks, cheeses, sauces, meats as well as great bargain hampers for family feasts. The butchers has won many awards of excellence such as The Bridgestone and The Guild awards. The master butcher, Nigel McCreery, boasts a family history of more than fifty years in the trade - and the skills certainly show in the well run establishment and the tasty produce. I noticed a bargain hamper for families which is something I have never seen before. A chicken, steak, mince, burgers, eggs and more all for just £20.00 - no wonder this place is always busy and has been going so long.

Obviously, you're going to want your brood to eat healthily and be active. I now have a distrust of major supermarkets and big brands as I have read a lot of horror stories. I don't want to be paying three quid for a whole chicken if I don't know what's been done to it and why it's so cheap, so I'm happy to spend more in the local butcher, where I can actually talk to someone who knows what the craic is, and where you can see the difference on display before your eyes. Nesbitt's is the best butcher in Glengormley. Should you have a Jamie Oliver recipe for beef ribs (that you can't get in the supermarket) - they'll sort you out. Shin bones for stock that'll cost you next to nothing. They make an effort to do different stuff - marinaded beef, stir fry mixes. They're good. Having said that, the kids would probably hoover up whatever I set in front of them.

I had to update this review as I couldn't believe the great value buys I got from here at the…read moreweekend. After a lot of deliberation (everything looked so yum!) we decided on two HUGE butterflied steaks, four large pork sausages (they're a meal on their own!) four large beef sausages and six griskins (Oh yeah! Love them!) in the end our total bill came to under £20! I was amazed at the superb value! I've since eaten the steaks (oh wow!) and I'm pleased to note all the meats were juicy, tender and fresh. The friendly butcher gave me some advice on cooking the griskins (we usually do them on the bbq and seeing as it was pouring down it wasn't quite the weather!) This butchers definitely deserves all the awards they've won. Offering brilliant service at a brilliant price for brilliant food! 5* for them...and a happy Suzi b tummy! Yum Yum!

Whilst house hunting (aaaaaggghhhh!) on the Lisburn Road I decided to get something for dinner and…read moreI called into Murphy's. I love butchers and sadly its a dying trade, leaving the supermarkets to take over with their lower quality and (as Emma P notes correctly) slimy meat! There was a huge selection on offer and they had prepared a lot of products themselves. Marinading kebabs and ribs ready to be cooked on the barbecue. I got Rib-eye steak which was quite expensive, but it's not something I will buy all the time and its quality was worth the price. A great local butchers that, if I do move to the area, I will use regularly.

First things first... go try the steak!…read more OK, so once you've tried it, tell me, will you ever find somewhere with such good quality for such a great price? No way, me thinks not. Go to, say ... Sainsbury's, one premium steak there £12? OK, At Orr's ... It's £2! The quality elsewhere won't be any better, not by a mile and you've just saved £10 at the local butcher. Handy! Go buy a bottle of nice wine or a bunch of flowers, whatever tickles your fancy. It's win, win, win! Orr's stock the best of the best. I would munch down on chicken olives if my life depended on it as long as they were from Orr's. Try their pork and leek sausages...I won't buy them from anywhere else! It's just a let down once you've tried them from here. Same goes for their chili sausages. The same probably goes for everything they sell. If I had the time and or money I'd have worked through it all by now. If I ever manage to do this I'll be sure to let you know. Though I'd maybe have died happy if I accomplished this. Family run, high quality butcher. Local produce sold and replenished daily. Beautiful, tasty, out of this world meats. Go now, you won't regret it (unless maybe you're a vegetarian? In which case, go right next door!)

Stuck in the middle of a wide variety of old-looking shops is a fantastic little butchers, one which should (but never will) blow every supermarket and chain store out of the water. With every cut of meat you could possibly want, this place had a queue of about ten people waiting to get served. Anywhere else that would be deemed bad service and you would complain. However, a long queue in a butchers is a healthy thing because it shows that people trust it first and foremost, and don't mind paying over the odds for some great food. I would definitely recommend it, not solely because it sells some really top quality meat (especially the steaks) but because it is much better to support local produce rather than processed rubbish that gets shipped in from somewhere dark and dingy.

If I don't know what I'd like or just have an idea of a meal then they always recommend the best cuts of meat and give advice of the best way to cook it.

I do have an issue with the word organic being slapped on everything to ensure it's accepted by the middle class consumer and sold at an inflated price. Luckily in this case, Mullan's farm seem solely interested in producing top of the range meat. This little butcher/farm shop towards the front of the market sells everything from corn-fed chickens (producing that lovely yellow skin which crisps up very well when fried) to venison and beef. I left with half a dozen eggs the last time, slightly more pricey than Mc Carthy's egg stall across the way but they were still great. I ended up using them in a spinach and goats cheese soufflé, very tasty and I recommend it.
