William BairdButchers

William Baird Butchers has traded from 13 Canal Street, Newry, for close to ninety years and is now run by the third generation of the Baird family. The single shop supplies local beef, pork, lamb and poultry sourced from farms in the surrounding countryside, alongside a deli and kitchen counter producing cooked meats, pies and prepared meals for collection. Baird's has remained on Canal Street throughout its history, building a reputation for traditional butchery skills such as dry-ageing and hand-tying joints rather than opening further branches. The shop also takes online orders through a partnership with a Northern Ireland food delivery platform, but all meat is prepared and sold from the one Newry premises, confirming it as a single-site, family-run business.
