The dinner of kings. 🍜 And, not only is it all homemade, but it’s ALSO entirely plant-based. Tuck into thick slices of moist Trick’n, and slurp up your traditional noodles with a rich veggie broth. Ain’t no chance you’ll see us sharing this. 🥢 #sonsofbutchers #SOB #irishbusiness #irishfood #food #plantbased #meatfree #irish #yummy #delicious #plantpower #veganfood #healthylifestyle #vegetarian
Mince meat is one of the most versatile ingredients in a kitchen. It can be used in almost any savoury dish, from pies to stir frys, and pasta to burritos. So, rather than convincing you to ‘use roast veg instead’, we make plant-based eating more accessible by recreating meaty staples. Our Mince Cheat has all the flavour, richness, texture and versatility of your classic mince - it’s even made by butchers! - but it’s got the added bonus of being completely vegan. 🌱 #sonsofbutchers #SOB #irishbusiness #irishfood #food #plantbased #meatfree #irish #yummy #delicious #plantpower #veganfood #healthylifestyle #vegetarian
As much as we’ve enjoyed summer salads, it’s high time for some winter comfort food. We’re spending the day dreaming about a cosy plant-based shepherd’s pie, with all the trimmings. That’s rich Mince Cheat, thick mashed potatoes, and a golden crust of vegan cheese. 😋 #sonsofbutchers #SOB #irishbusiness #irishfood #food #plantbased #meatfree #irish #yummy #delicious #plantpower #veganfood #healthylifestyle #vegetarian
One thing that you can sure about us is that we will give you a variety of options to choose from!

Sick of nut roasts? If you’re after a new festive plant-based centrepiece, look no further. We’re revamping Christmas dinners, starting with this plant-based wellington. To prepare yours, cook Mince Cheat with cranberries, mushrooms and sweet potatoes. Wrap the mixture up in a thick layer of vegan puff pastry, and bake. Enjoy whilst it’s piping hot, fresh out of the oven. 👌 #sonsofbutchers #SOB #irishbusiness #irishfood #food #plantbased #meatfree #irish #yummy #delicious #plantpower #veganfood #healthylifestyle #vegetarian
This is what we like to call, a one pot wonder. 😏 Dishes like these are what Sons of Butchers is all about - simple, quick, nutritious, flavourful and plant-based. And, thanks to these delightful little Cheatballs, there’s no end to the all-in-one oven dishes that you can think up. #sonsofbutchers #SOB #irishbusiness #irishfood #food #plantbased #meatfree #irish #yummy #delicious #plantpower #veganfood #healthylifestyle #vegetarian
When done right, nachos are far from basic. 💁 In our Irish-Mexican fusion dish, we’ve topped salty nachos with homemade spicy Mince Cheat chilli. Then - incase that wasn’t enough 😏 - we load it with fresh guac, sour cream and plenty of cheese. It’s brilliantly simple, and a Friday night treat that you’ll look forward to all week. #sonsofbutchers #SOB #irishbusiness #irishfood #food #plantbased #meatfree #irish #yummy #delicious #plantpower #veganfood #healthylifestyle #vegetarian
If you’re planning a plant-based Mexican night, don’t just serve beans. With Mince Cheat as your secret weapon, you can bring all the flair, flavour and fun of your usual cooking, just minus the meat. 🧑🍳 #sonsofbutchers #SOB #irishbusiness #irishfood #food #plantbased #meatfree #irish #yummy #delicious #plantpower #veganfood #healthylifestyle #vegetarian
At Sons of Butchers, we are committed to making meals more sustainable. It’s why we brought our butchery skills into the plant-based market in the first place. And, as always, we firmly champion ethically sourced, consciously made Irish produce. 🇮🇪 #sonsofbutchers #SOB #irishbusiness #irishfood #food #plantbased #meatfree #irish #yummy #delicious #plantpower #veganfood #healthylifestyle #vegetarian
While you COULD spend hours slaving away over a roasting squash, there are infinitely easier ways to enjoy vegan cooking. We adore a one pot dish - they’re simple, super fast, and full of colour and goodness. For this Mediterranean-inspired beauty, all you need to do is load a pan with Trick’n strips, broccoli, chickpeas, red peppers, harissa and spinach. Bake, and then add flaked almonds, pomegranate seeds and aioli. And that’s really all there is to it. 👌
This is our Trick’n, and it’s here to fool you. 👀 The founders of Sons of Butchers have four decades’ worth of butchery experience in their families. So, it’s pretty fair to say that they know the trade. But, these guys went rogue, and turned their talents to creating plant-based meat alternatives to an utterly deceptive standard. If you’re still sceptical, go ahead and put us to the test. 😏
If there’s one thing we won’t tolerate, it’s a bland fajita. 🌯 So, if you’re going veggie, do everyone a favour and ditch the beans. Instead, use our thick, juicy Trick’n strips to recreate that authentic Mexican taste (and follow your favourite recipe) seamlessly.
