Why choose Ian Chatfield over supermarket meat

At Ian Chatfield, we source our meat from local farms and suppliers, promoting a focus on quality and freshness. Our meat is typically butchered on-site, ensuring that customers receive the freshest cuts possible. We also prioritise ethical and sustainable sourcing of meat; supporting local farmers who practice responsible and humane farming methods. Providing more transparency in our butchering process allows customers to see the meat being prepared and cut. This transparency builds trust with our customers who are interested in knowing where their meat comes from and how it is handled.

We're highly skilled and knowledgeable about different cuts of meat, cooking methods, and can provide personalised recommendations based on your preferences. This expertise is often lacking in larger supermarkets. Offering custom cuts and special orders, we tailor our services to meet your specific needs and preferences. This level of customisation is often not available at supermarkets, which tend to offer a more standardised selection. 

As an integral part of the community, we help build relationships with customers, understand local tastes and preferences, and contribute to the local economy. This sense of community connection is harder for large supermarkets to replicate. Ian Chatfield also offers a wider variety of cuts and specialty products that cater to specific local tastes and demands. This diversity is often lacking in supermarkets, which prioritise more mainstream cuts.

Choosing Ian Chatfield helps support the local economy and helps sustain small businesses. Many people prefer to shop locally as a way to contribute to the vibrancy and uniqueness of Tonbridge High Street.

Our personal touch, expertise, focus on quality, and community connection often makes us a preferred choice for those who value a more intimate and specialised meat-buying experience.
