Welcome

You are visiting the home of a unique farm-to-fork food retailer, and possibly the only example – in the world – which slaughters, prepares and sells locally sourced meat via its on-site abattoir, food hall, and fully licensed cafe bar and restaurant. Friendly and knowledgeable staff combine with a modern and spacious shop interior to help give customers a unique shopping experience. A large meat counter provides a huge range of freshly made sausages, bacon and pork, chicken, lamb, and beef. The shop also has a delicatessen which offers a wide range of local cheeses, salads, pies, breads, and cakes. You can even have a delicious sandwich made - on freshly baked bread - while you wait. Or, you can order a piping hot soup-of-the-day to take away. On the same site you will find 1817 - a fully licensed cafe bar and restaurant which serves fine quality foods together with a selection of beers, ciders, and award-winning English and Scottish wines All our beef and lamb is slaughtered in our own EC approved, on-site abattoir. Also, we run - on a voluntary basis - the Small Abattoir Federation (SAFe) which provides support and guidance for other businesses that operate their own low-throughput abattoirs. We are always on the look out for talented and enthusiastic people to join our existing team. If you think you've got what it takes, check our jobs section to see the latest opportunities on offer. Why not come and visit us - you will not be disappointed. We will be pleased to see you!

CAR PARKING - IMPORTANT INFORMATION

We have listened to our customers' comments regarding our private car parking facilities. In the past, many of our customers had been unable to find parking spaces - especially on Fridays and Saturdays - and had no alternative but to drive away without shopping with us. This was due mainly to individuals who had parked their vehicles to go and shop elsewhere in the village. So, back in March 2005, we decided to begin monitoring our car park to ensure that spaces were always available for our customers. Today, we employ two car park assistants - Ronnie and Tom. These two gentlemen - both grandparents - patrol our car parks all day, every day, and are always ready to warmly greet customers and help them with any enquiries.
