We believe...
...that you, the customer, deserve high quality meat, sourced from local farms, at a reasonable price and sold with a friendly smile.
We don't think that is too much to ask. So that is exactly what we do; good local meats sold to you by friendly professional staff.

Perhaps you remember a time before most meat finished up in little plastic trays under the neon light of a supermarket chiller cabinet? A time when it was carefully prepared, beautifully displayed and cut and trimmed to suit your personal requirements. When meat tasted of something. When you knew where it had come from.

Well, we remember those days! In fact we never forgot them because we have always sold meat as the customer wants it; meat that taste like meat which comes from the same farms we have been doing business with for over 100 years.

Our meat is the finest available, untainted, pure and as tasty as you will find anywhere. Our bacons which we prepare, our sausages which we make and our cooked meats which we produce are renowned throughout Staffordshire, Derbyshire and beyond.

 

We have our own small but modern slaughterhouse which means we are able to purchase animals from local farms and deal with these ourselves. We strongly believe in animal welfare. Animals that have to travel long distances to slaughter (as with most supermarket meat) become stressed, that is why we buy only from local farms. We will not take an animal alone since this too stresses the beast. Stressed meat does not taste well.

We are members of the Humane Slaughter Association.
