Beef

The finest hand selected local beef matured to perfection. Try our unique Himalayan Salt Chamber Dry Aged Beef that concentrates and seals in flavour in a way you won't have experienced before and our delicious Glenarm Shorthorn Beef.

Lamb

Our lamb has roamed and grazed freely on lush pastures of Northern Ireland and when in season we offer exquisite Glenarm Estate Lamb that gives a delicate flavour and tenderness beyond compare.

Pork & Bacon

Try our award-winning Moyallon bacon and sausage products, made exclusively with quality Northern Irish pork. Our bacon is cured using a time-honoured and flavour-enhancing natural process.

Poultry

We have a full offering of poultry that includes Armagh’s Rockvale Poultry. Rockvale birds are slow-raised to ensure they are extra-succulent when they reach your plate.

Burgers

Our award-winning burgers deserve the care and attention you’d lavish on a good steak, because they are made from the same high quality meat.

Sausages

All our sausages are mixed in-house, giving us full control over the quality of the sausage-meat, seasoning and finished product.

'MEAT' PETER

Peter Hannan

Founder & MD of Hannan Meats

Born in Co. Kildare Ireland (quite some time ago) Peter started in the meat trade in 1979.
Spending some years running abattoirs and processing facilities in the US and UK, he returned to Northern Ireland in 1989 and started his own business supplying foodservice. 

Hannan Meats supply in excess of 400 restaurants throughout Ireland, the UK and Europe, including many household names.

Peter is also involved in other food related businesses, and plays an active role in helping small Artisan producers get their products to market.

Placing a great emphasis on traditional yet innovative values the company has earned a wide ranging reputation for its traditionally cured bacon products and Himalayan Salt Aged Beef.

Hannan Meats is a stakeholder in the Glenarm Shorthorn Beef Producer Group, exclusively retailed here and at Fortnum and Mason, London.

In 2009 he opened The Meat Merchant shop supplying the same restaurant quality meat at wholesale prices to the public.
