McAtamney's Traditional Butchers is a family run company, with Oran McAtamney and his two sons, Dominic and Declan overseeing the daily operations. The first store was opened in 1933, since then we have expanded to a total of 13 shops, 5 deli's, a boning hall and a Gourmet Kitchen facility. We pride ourselves on offering traditional meats, at affordable prices, as well as a range of convenient meals to suit our ever-changing customer requirements. Exceptional customer service is at the forefront of everything we do.
We are an award winning company – most recently Oran was recognised for his dedication to the butchery trade when he was given the Life Time Achievement award by Mid Ulster Council, we were also delighted to have been awarded the prestigious "Employer of the Future" award by Causeway Coast and Glens Council. We have ambitious plans for the future and we are on the look out for staff to join our team and as embark on this journey.
