🥩 A family butchers since 1936

Proper meat, and everything else made out the back

We buy from farms up the valley, butcher it ourselves and make the sausage, bacon and pies in the back of the shop. Nothing bulked out, nothing pumped with water.

From the counter and the smokehouse

What is on changes with the season and what came in that morning. Prices are a guide — tell us how you want it cut.

This is a selection — the full list and prices are on their own page. Barbecues, buffets and hog roasts are arranged through catering orders.

How we got here

Three generations at the same block

The shop opened on the market place in Hexham in 1936. Three generations have stood behind the counter since, and the recipes are still in the same notebook hanging in the back.

Good sausage starts with good meat, so we buy from farms in the Tyne valley and up Allendale that we have dealt with for years. We know what the animals ate and where they came from, and you can taste it.

  • We know where it came from

    Family farms within 25 miles, named on the ticket. No imported meat of unknown origin.
  • Smoked over oak

    A brick smokehouse in the yard. No liquid smoke flavouring — just wood, time and patience.
  • Short ingredients lists

    No mechanically recovered meat, no added phosphates, no flavour enhancers. Read the ticket and see.

What to expect

Three things you can ask us

Any butcher worth the name will answer these. Ask the next one too.

Which farm is this from? We can name it, and it will be within about 25 miles. If a shop cannot tell you, that is worth knowing before you buy the joint.

What is in the sausage? Ours is meat, rusk, seasoning and a natural skin, and the percentage is on the ticket. No mechanically recovered meat and no added phosphate.

Has the bacon had water added? Ours is dry cured, so it fries rather than boils in its own liquid. It costs a little more per kilo and you get more on the plate.
