You know who’s coming for Sunday lunch. You’re less sure which roasting joint to choose or how much you’ll need. A conversation with someone who prepares that food every day can make the decision much easier.
At Ian Chatfield, your local butchers in Tonbridge, you’re welcome to visit our beautifully presented High Street store, see our produce being prepared and speak to our master butchers. We’re open seven days a week, 363 days a year, with an on-site bakery and our full range to explore.
Buying meat online is convenient, but a photograph and a description can only tell you so much. You may want to compare cuts in person or ask where your food comes from before deciding what to buy.
Some online butchers operate from warehouse units without a retail shop for customers to visit. At Ian Chatfield, our Tonbridge butcher’s shop is the working home of our business. You can walk through the door, meet the people behind your order and see how we operate for yourself.
Whether you’re a regular customer or discovering us for the first time, you’re welcome to come in and take a look.
You don’t need to arrive knowing exactly what to ask for. Tell us what you’d like to cook, how many people you’re feeding and the budget you have in mind. Our master butchers can help you choose a suitable cut and quantity, with practical advice on preparation and cooking.
Perhaps you want a joint that’s easy to carve, or you’d like to try a less familiar cut for a slow-cooked supper. Seeing the options and talking them through helps you decide what will work in your kitchen.
You leave with a clearer plan for your meal, ready to make the most of what you’ve bought.
All our produce is prepared and dispatched from the same location: our High Street store in Tonbridge. That includes the food prepared in our on-site bakery.
When you visit, you can see our team at work and watch produce being prepared. Ask about a particular cut, talk to us about sourcing or find out how we prepare something that has caught your eye.
The place you shop is also the place your online order begins. You can see the care behind your purchase and speak directly to the people responsible for preparing it.
A visit gives you time to discover the full range, from steaks and roasting joints to sausages, poultry and everyday family favourites. Compare what’s on the counter, ask for a recommendation and find inspiration for the week ahead.
Our on-site bakery is part of that experience too. Explore our handmade meat pies and pastries, including sausage rolls and pasties, or choose one of our sweet pies to finish a family meal.
Whether you’re cooking from scratch or looking for something that makes dinner easier, you can put together a meal that suits your day.
If you first discover Ian Chatfield online, our doors are open whenever you’d like to visit during shop hours. If you usually shop in person, you can order online when it suits you.
Choose Click & Collect from our Tonbridge store, or explore our home delivery service. Your produce is prepared and dispatched from the same High Street premises where we serve our shop customers.
Even when you can’t make it into town, you know the business behind your order and where to turn for advice.
You’re welcome at Ian Chatfield 363 days a year. Come in for your weekly shop, pick up something from the bakery or talk through plans for a special meal.
