Get to Know Us
One of the few family-owned farming-and-butcher operations in Ireland. Their story goes back 100 years- Tom Gilligan built the family farmhouse and started farming the land. Ever since then, they’ve been passionate about rearing beef. They’ve opened their first farm shop in Roscommon with one simple idea – all of the meat was fresh from the family farm.
Award Winning Irish Meat, Fresh From Gilligan's Farm
Gilligan’s Farm beef and lamb come from one of Ireland’s few family-owned farm-to-butcher operations, where quality, consistency, and full traceability are at the heart of everything they do.
​
With over 100 years of farming heritage in Roscommon, the Gilligan family has been passionately rearing livestock since Tom Gilligan first built the family farmhouse and began farming the land. In 1990, Padraic Gilligan continued that tradition by opening the family’s first farm shop, built on a simple philosophy: providing fresh, locally reared meat directly from the family farm.
​
Their commitment to quality begins with exceptional animal welfare and sustainable farming practices. Working closely with nutrition experts, they grow a range of crops on the farm to ensure the animals receive a balanced diet rich in essential vitamins and minerals. Every stage of the process is carefully managed, from the pasture to the butcher’s block, guaranteeing premium quality and consistency in every cut.
​
This hands-on approach, combined with generations of farming knowledge and dedication, has helped Gilligan’s Farm earn a reputation for award-winning beef and lamb with exceptional flavour, tenderness, and freshness — products we are proud to serve in our restaurant every day.
