Traditional Butcher Serving Hildenborough

Ian Chatfield established the business with one simple aim: to offer customers quality meat they could trust, prepared by skilled butchers who genuinely care about their craft. More than four decades later, those same principles continue to define everything we do.

Unlike many modern retailers, we believe butchery is about more than simply selling meat. It's about understanding where it comes from, how it's been reared and ensuring every cut is prepared with care and attention.

Many of our regular customers visit us from Hildenborough, choosing us because they appreciate traditional service, expert knowledge and consistently high-quality produce.

Outstanding meat begins long before it reaches the butcher's block. That's why we work with carefully selected farms across Kent and Sussex, choosing livestock raised to high welfare standards and prepared using traditional methods.

Our range includes dry-aged British beef, grass-fed lamb, outdoor-reared pork, free-range poultry, seasonal game, award-winning sausages, homemade burgers, freshly prepared joints and marinated meats for easy midweek meals.

Every cut is prepared by our experienced team, ensuring the same exceptional quality whether you're buying a single steak or catering for a family gathering.

Alongside our premium meat selection, you'll also find a range of freshly made favourites prepared in-house. These include handmade sausage rolls, traditional pork pies, fresh Scotch eggs, pasties and seasonal savoury pastries.

They are perfect for lunch on the go or something delicious to take home.

Although we're based in nearby Tonbridge, customers regularly make the short journey from Hildenborough because they know they'll receive something increasingly difficult to find elsewhere.
