Bobby Lewis Butchers

Bobby Lewis Butchers was awarded “Certified Craft Butcher” status following a shop audit by the Associated Craft Butchers of Ireland (ACBI) earlier this year. Certified Craft Butchers are independently audited to the demanding standards of ACBI, thereby guaranteeing customers the highest standards in food, customer service and product knowledge. The process involved in the audits includes rigorous testing of all health and safety processes, traceability, preparation, labelling, and storage – every aspect of the business.
Bobby Lewis Butchers is now among the 100 Certified Craft Butchers throughout Ireland to receive the prestigious certificate and plaque which are only awarded to candidates who reach the required standard in the association’s independent audits.
Bobby Lewis owner and manager was delighted with the news, “this certification standard sets retail butchers apart in terms of quality product, premises, work practices and customer service, all the team worked hard to earn this award and will work even harder to maintain it, it is an honour”, he said.
John Hickey, CEO, ACBI said “the Craft Butcher is one of the last men standing in the independent retail industry and consumers need to continue to support them especially as they commit to the highest standards in the industry, a standard that has been created for the consumer to enable them to make the most valuable and trusted purchasing decision upon each shopping trip”.
