Established 1987
Serving Birtley & the surrounding community for over 35 years
Martin Baxter opened his first shop with a simple promise — bring the finest meat to the local community, cut with craft and sold with honesty. Decades later, that promise hasn't changed.
Everything on our counter is prepared in-house each morning, from hand-cut steaks and homemade sausages to our own marinated range, pies, pasties and quiches — all made right here on the premises.
We're not a supermarket. We're your butcher.
Cut Fresh Every Morning
