We're a high class family run butchers in the popular Lake District village of Windermere. Home of the authentic traditional cumberland sausage. There has been a family run butchers on the site since the 1880's. A.F. Huddlestons was formed in 1945 and moved into the current premises in 1977.

We pride ourselves in the care taken in the production of our bacon from the selections of the breed of pigs used to the type of cure (sometimes including carefully selected other ingredients which add to the flavour) to the way it is cured, right through to the slicing and packaging.All our bacon is rindless and our attention to detail is immense but the result is quality, award winning products and consistency is everything.

About our products Report

All our Dry Cured Bacon and Hams are cured here in the shop using a traditional cure to which we have added our unique blend of distinctive sugars, for those who like a Dry Cured Bacon or Gammon but prefer it slightly sweeter. Once cured the bacon or gammon is then sliced and vacuum packed to seal in all the flavour and freshness.

Best pie I've ever had.
Tried the Scotch Pie and the Traditional Pork Pie, both of which tasted amazing. Will have to come back here eventually.

My family and I have been taking advantage of Huddleston’s expert knowledge and superior products for decades whenever we visit the Lake District. All products are hand-prepared and delicious. Pies are filled to the brim and their Cumberland sausage is unsurpassable. First Class. Cannot recommend any higher.

Absolutely superb, on holiday locally I grabbed some Cumberland sausage and bacon. Had to return for some to take home it was so good. Very friendly staff and great service, looking forward to trying the pies I picked up with the Cumberland sausage. Will be back again to try some more.

Huddleston Butchers is quality butchers shop, great customer service, with a hidden secret, the baked goods. Baked fresh daily at 10:00 am I highly recommend anyone in the area to run in there at 10 sharp and get those baked goods as fast as you can before they're gone. It is absolutely delicious.
