At My Meat Shop, we are not a faceless trading company buying anonymous products from the open market and simply reselling them under a label. We are a family-run, producer-led Halal food business built from a lifetime in meat, food preparation, customer service and trust.
Our purpose is simple: to give families across the UK access to Halal food that is clear, honest and carefully prepared — from our Halal beef and lamb, to specialist milk-fed veal from trusted partners, our own Halal charcuterie, chef-led ready meals, bakery, pastry, traditional products, groceries and selected daily food essentials.
The Foundations Behind My Meat Shop
Our work starts with the quality of the source, continues through careful selection and handling, and ends with food that families can trust, cook and enjoy with confidence.
Our Story: Built from a Lifetime in Meat
My Meat Shop is not a business created overnight. It comes from a lifetime in the meat trade, built through family experience, hard work and a deep understanding of what customers expect from proper Halal meat.
Our founder grew up around the meat business from the age of eight, learning the trade step by step — from sourcing and handling to customer service, butchery standards and the importance of trust. That early experience shaped the values that still guide the business today: respect for the product, respect for the customer and a commitment to honest quality.
After years of learning the trade from the ground up, the family business developed into wholesale supply, serving businesses, food operators and trade customers for more than twenty years. This background gave us a strong understanding of consistency, logistics, supply standards, preparation and the importance of delivering meat that customers can rely on.
That long experience also showed us the difficult side of the industry: unclear origins, weak traceability, products hidden behind preparation, and customers who often do not realise how much responsibility sits behind a piece of meat. This is one of the reasons we wanted to build a clearer, more honest Halal food route for families.
In 2017, we felt it was time to move closer to the final customer. We wanted families to have direct access to authentic Halal meat, trusted sourcing and the practical product knowledge that had previously been used mainly in wholesale and professional supply.
That is where our retail journey began. Since then, My Meat Shop has grown beyond fresh meat alone into ready meals, prepared food ranges, bakery, pastry, traditional products and carefully selected groceries — all designed to help families enjoy trusted Halal food in a more convenient and complete way.
We are proud to be family-run. Like many independent family businesses, our story has been built through long days, difficult periods, changing markets, constant adaptation and resilience. What keeps us moving forward is the same belief we started with: customers deserve Halal food they can trust, with real people, real experience and real commitment behind it.
Producer-Led, Not Just Buying and Selling
One of the most important things customers should understand about My Meat Shop is that we are not simply a trading company. We do not build our identity around buying anonymous meat from different places and selling it as if it were all the same.
For our Halal beef and Halal lamb, our approach is producer-led. These core ranges are built around our own meat experience, our Irish farm sourcing route, our product knowledge and our responsibility to offer meat that we understand, prepare and stand behind.
This matters because meat is not just a commodity. The source, the animal, the handling, the slaughter process, the cutting, the storage, the packing and the delivery all affect the final product. When customers order from us, they are not only buying a cut of meat; they are buying into a system of sourcing, preparation and trust.
That is the difference between a simple trader and a producer-led Halal food business. We want customers to know who is behind the food, what we stand for and why our products are selected, prepared and presented with care.
The Responsibility Behind Halal Meat
Meat is not just protein, price, weight and delivery. It comes from a living animal and from a full natural cycle: farming, feeding, animal care, transport, Halal slaughter, butchery, packing, cold-chain handling, delivery and finally the family table.
That is why we believe meat should be respected. It should not be treated as a cheap commodity, hidden behind poor cutting, unclear origin, heavy seasoning or vague product descriptions. For a Muslim family, Halal meat carries an even deeper responsibility because the animal, the slaughter, the intention, the handling, the traceability and the trust all matter.
We have been in the meat industry for decades, so we are not speaking from theory or from outside the trade. We know what happens behind the counter, behind the box and behind the label. We know when quality is protected, and we know when it is hidden. We know when traceability is respected, and we know when questions are avoided.
After seeing this for so long, it becomes very hard to stand as a spectator. If Muslim families are trying to keep their principles, they should not be pushed into choosing between Halal assurance and proper meat quality. For us, this is not only business. It is an amanah — a trust we have to carry carefully.
This is why our work is built around clearer sourcing, better product explanation, honest butchery, Halal assurance and the belief that customers should understand what they are eating. Proper Halal meat should be valued, not taken for granted.
Who We Are
My Meat Shop was created to give customers a clearer, more reliable way to buy Halal meat and food online. We know that when customers order food for their home, family meals, gatherings or weekly cooking, they want more than a product in a box. They want to understand where it comes from, how it is handled and whether they can trust the people behind it.
Our approach is built on Halal assurance, Irish farm-sourced beef and lamb, selected specialist partners, chef-led food development, homemade food ranges and a commitment to managing quality from source through to delivery.
Irish Farm Sourcing
Our beef and lamb range is connected to Irish farm sourcing, with livestock raised in a country known for grass-based farming, strong animal husbandry and quality meat production.
Halal Assurance
Halal is central to our identity. Customers can learn more about our certification, non-stunned Halal process and traceability on our Halal Certification page.
Gate to Plate
We believe customers deserve transparency, from sourcing and preparation through to packing, chilled delivery and the food they serve at home.
Our Own Expertise, Our Trusted Partners
Our identity starts with meat, but we also believe that a strong food business must know when to produce directly and when to work with the right specialists. Where we have the knowledge, route and control, we develop products ourselves. Where a product requires a dedicated specialist supply chain, we choose trusted partners who can meet our expectations for Halal assurance, quality and traceability.
Our Halal beef and Halal lamb ranges are the heart of our producer-led offer. They are built around Irish farm sourcing, long meat-trade experience, careful selection and practical butchery knowledge.
Our Halal milk-fed veal is different. It is a specialist range that requires a dedicated supply chain and specific expertise. For that reason, we source it through selected trusted partners who can meet the standards this product requires. We believe being honest about that makes the offer stronger, clearer and more trustworthy.
This same honesty applies across the wider My Meat Shop range. Some products come from our own meat expertise and food development, while others are carefully selected from trusted partners and brands that we believe are suitable for our customers’ daily cooking, family meals and food traditions.
Our Meat-Led Ranges
Beef and lamb remain at the heart of our work, supported by sourcing knowledge, butchery experience and our commitment to Halal confidence.
Specialist Veal Partners
Our Halal milk-fed veal is sourced through selected specialist partners who can provide the dedicated standards this product requires.
Curated Food Partners
Our grocery range includes trusted products, brands and partners chosen to support real daily cooking and complete family meals.
From Irish Farms to Your Family Table
Ireland is one of the world’s respected sources for high-quality livestock. Its temperate climate, natural rainfall and wide grasslands make it especially suitable for grass-based farming systems. This supports healthy cattle and sheep, strong traceability and the quality that customers expect from premium red meat.
Our beef and lamb are connected to our Irish farming network, where livestock are carefully selected and raised with attention to animal care, breed quality and responsible farming practices. This allows us to offer meat with a clearer origin story and a stronger connection between the farm, the butcher and the customer.
Transparency from the Gate to the Plate
“From the gate to the plate” is more than a phrase for us. It reflects the way we think about food. We want customers to feel confident that the meat and food they order have been managed through a clear process, with care given to sourcing, Halal slaughter, cutting, preparation, storage, packing and delivery.
As producers and food operators, we understand that quality is built step by step. Traceability, cold-chain handling, hygiene, correct preparation and honest communication all matter. These principles help us serve customers who care about Halal standards, food safety, flavour and consistency.
Our Meat Standards
Our meat range focuses on carefully selected cattle and sheep breeds known for quality, conformation and eating value. For beef, this includes respected breeds such as Charolais, Limousin, Angus and Hereford. For lamb, we focus on breeds recognised for flavour, consistency and reliable family cooking.
This attention to sourcing allows us to offer a wide range of cuts for different kitchens and occasions — from everyday mince, diced meat and family cuts to steaks, roasts, joints, offal, whole cuts and special occasion products.
Our Halal Assurance with Your Halal Guarantee
Halal is not just a word on our website. It is a responsibility. Our Halal meat assurance is supported by Your Halal Guarantee, giving customers a clearer route of trust, traceability and reassurance.
Why We Chose YHG
We chose Your Halal Guarantee because their approach to Halal assurance is open, responsible and rooted in the wider Ummah. Halal should not be reduced to one closed brand name or one isolated organisation.
Serious Halal assurance can exist across different communities, countries and recognised bodies when the values, slaughter principles, documentation, traceability and process are clear. YHG gives customers reassurance while respecting the wider Halal certification landscape.
For My Meat Shop, this supports our commitment to non-stunned Halal meat, traceability, responsible handling and honest customer information from sourcing through to preparation, packing and delivery.
Our Own Halal Charcuterie
As our retail journey developed, we introduced Halal charcuterie as a natural extension of our meat knowledge. This was not added as a random category; it grew from our desire to create a better Halal charcuterie offer using our meat expertise, our standards and our understanding of what Muslim families and food lovers were missing in the market.
Our Halal charcuterie is part of the My Meat Shop identity: trusted, practical, flavour-focused and built around Halal confidence. It allows customers to enjoy deli-style products, boards, slices and sausages while staying within a clear Halal framework.
Chef-Led Ready Meals, Bakery, Pastry & Traditional Food
We also recognised that customers do not only need meat — they need complete food solutions. That is why we have developed homemade and chef-led products that work alongside our meat range, including ready meals, prepared dishes, bakery products, pastries and traditional foods.
These ranges are not separate from our meat business. They are connected to it. Our meat knowledge helps us create better fillings, better dishes, better ready meals and better family food. Whether it is a ready meal, a savoury pastry, a traditional dish, a bakery item or a prepared food product, the aim is to bring together proper ingredients, authentic flavour and the practical convenience families need.
Our prepared food direction is supported by food expertise across different areas: head chefs for cooked dishes and meal concepts, butcher-chef knowledge for meat preparation, bakery skills for breads and savoury items, and pastry expertise for traditional sweets and desserts.
The result is food with a homemade spirit and an artisan touch — made to bring the best out of our meat and complete it with taste, quality, comfort and care.
A Grocery Section Built from Trusted Choices
Our Grocery & Tradition section was created to share with our customers the products, brands and partner ranges that support real daily cooking. These are the types of products used to complete meals, support family kitchens and bring familiar flavours into the home.
We do not see groceries as a disconnected add-on. We see them as part of the full My Meat Shop experience. Meat, seasoning, bakery, sauces, drinks, dairy, sweets, traditional products and kitchen essentials all work together when customers are preparing meals for their families.
Our goal is to build a curated grocery offer from trusted partners and brands, giving customers access to products we believe fit our values: useful, reliable, family-friendly and connected to the way our customers cook and eat.
More Than a Halal Butcher
My Meat Shop has grown beyond fresh meat alone. Today, our retail range also includes Halal charcuterie, sausages, ready meals, bakery items, traditional sweets, groceries, sauces, seasonings, dairy, drinks, kitchen essentials and selected home-cooking products.
Our goal is to make it easier for customers to build complete meals from one trusted place — whether they are cooking from scratch, preparing a family dinner, hosting guests, filling the freezer or looking for convenient ready-made dishes with Halal confidence.
Growing the My Meat Shop Network
As My Meat Shop continues to grow, we are now opening franchise and partner opportunities for serious UK applicants who want to help bring trusted Halal food closer to more communities. This is the next stage of our journey: taking the same values of Halal assurance, sourcing knowledge, product clarity and family food convenience into a wider network.
Franchise & Partner Opportunities
We are inviting serious enquiries from food operators, local entrepreneurs, existing retailers and business owners who understand the importance of Halal trust, customer service, food safety and long-term brand reputation.
Modern Retail Formats
The opportunity can include different formats such as full retail stores, shop-in-shop counters, local fulfilment, mobile chilled retail, smart chilled vending and trade or foodservice partnerships.
Built on the Same Values
Any future network growth must protect what My Meat Shop stands for: Halal assurance, honest sourcing, chilled handling, product clarity, practical food knowledge and customer confidence.
A Network Built Carefully, Not Quickly
We are not looking to grow carelessly. Every serious franchise or partner enquiry must be reviewed properly so that the applicant, location, business background and proposed format are suitable for the My Meat Shop identity.
Our detailed partner pack is shared only after an initial enquiry and review, so that the opportunity remains focused on serious applicants who understand the responsibility of representing a trusted Halal food brand.
