For over forty years, Ian Chatfield Butchers & Deli has been a trusted name in Tonbridge, known for traditional butchery, carefully sourced meat and straightforward, friendly service.
From our shop in the heart of Tonbridge, we serve customers not only locally, but from across Hildenborough, Sevenoaks, Leigh, Penshurst and Bidborough, as well as further afield throughout West Kent. Many travel to us regularly, knowing they’ll find quality and consistency that’s increasingly hard to come by.
We’re a family-run butcher, and we’ve built our reputation the proper way - through experience, attention to detail and doing things right.
We believe that good meat starts at the source. That’s why we work closely with trusted farms across Kent and Sussex, selecting livestock that has been properly reared and well looked after.
Customers travelling from West Malling and Kings Hill often tell us they value knowing exactly where their food comes from - and that’s something we’re always happy to talk about.
Everything we sell is prepared in-house by experienced butchers using traditional methods. We take our time, because quality can’t be rushed.
Our beef is dry-aged for around 28 days to develop depth of flavour and tenderness - a process that sets our meat apart and keeps customers returning from areas including Speldhurst and Southborough.
Whether you’re planning a Sunday roast, a midweek meal or something for a special occasion, we’re always here to offer advice and prepare exactly what you need.
Alongside our butchery, we offer a small range of freshly made, traditional favourites - simple, well-made and prepared with care.
You’ll find:
- Sausage rolls and pies made in-house
- Pasties and pastries baked fresh each day
- Scotch eggs prepared on site
No fuss - just good food, done properly.
While Tonbridge remains at the heart of everything we do, we’re proud to serve a wider community across West Kent. Many of our customers travel from surrounding towns and villages because they value consistency, quality and a personal approach.
For those further afield, we also offer nationwide delivery, making it easy to enjoy our produce wherever you are in the UK.
We believe that being a good butcher carries a responsibility - to our customers, to the farmers we work with and to the environment.
That means:
- Supporting high-welfare farming
- Keeping our sourcing local and transparent
- Reducing waste through careful preparation
- Using renewable energy within our shop
It’s a straightforward approach, grounded in tradition and shaped by experience.
Customers return to us because they know what they’ll get:
- Proper, skilled butchery
- High-quality, locally sourced meat
- Honest advice and friendly service
- Consistency they can rely on
- A business with genuine local roots
We’ve built our reputation over decades - and we intend to keep it that way.
