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 andrestaurantwhich 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!
Have you ever stopped and wondered how your meat is slaughtered?
Using informative texts and videos, our Abattoir
pages explain exactly how we carefully and skillfully slaughter cattle and
lambs to provide the meat you eat.

"Our
family has been serving your family for
the last 250 years."
[John Chadwick, Managing Director]
Since 1761,
the Chadwick
family have lived and worked within 200
yards of the present High Street site.
Throughout these years, we have served
the community as both farmers and butchers.
Our common aim has always been to bring
the best, local
produce to our customers,
drawing on the enormous amount of
expertise gained in the past and the
continual learning process of the
present.
It is with a great amount of pride
that we provide meat for the community
in which we grew up.
All our beef
and lamb
is procured from local farms and
prepared in our own privateEC approved abattoir.
All our pork is secured from a local slaughterhouse.
We do not, and will not, sell or use imported cheap
chicken. Only the best is good enough for our customers. Our chicken supplier has been working alongside us for the past 30 years.
This enables us
to bring the best produce directly to you,
served by staff who are dedicated to
providing the friendliest
and most efficient service
possible.
