About Us

We pride ourselves in our quality service and quality products. Unfortuntately any good business man will claim this... we prefer you to judge our products and our staff. We have employed mystery shoppers to keep us on our toes! We are constantly trying to improve so we value your opinion and suggestions!

With our continued investment in Lurgan, we are promoting better parking facilities in Lurgan to include additional spaces and an improvement in town centre redevelopment brought on by recent Public Realm works. In the Spring 2010 John Dowey was accepted as a board member of Lurgan Forward and Simon Dowey involved in the steering group for Lurgan Chamber of Trade and Commerce.
Below is a "flavour" of what we are about:

Theres always something going on at Doweys! We sometimes have live music inside or outside our shop. Local bands treat our customers to ageless music and make a grab for the sausages!
We are setting standards! John R. Dowey and Son helped the consultation on Butcher Shop Licensing and were the first in Northern Ireland to been awarded the standard. This scheme has now been superseeded by HACCP.
Our trained butchers expertly slice and trim our beef. We also prepare our own house specialities!
Try our wide range of over 35 different varieties of salad. Which are freshly prepared daily, in house (NOT bought in like competitors) We cater uniquely for everyone's taste, some sweet, some savoury, something different!
We separate our raw and cooked meats with separate trained staff for handling each. This reduces the risk from cross-contamination. This system is highly recommended and been praised by the Department of Health
Our 66ft of display cabinet boasts of nearly 1000 mouth watering products!
